Some personal sketches

Rose, Lt. Graves, Dr. McGregor

This drawing is a little long in the tooth and there are few things I’m really unsatisfied with but I have to keep remembering that it’s okay to share that kinda stuff with you guys. Last year I made some changes to Rose’s outfit while still keeping her original outfit’s charm. This is far more suited to how I had always envisioned her, and even though there are likely going to be a few changes, this will be pretty close to what you all see in the end! If anything good came out of my long hiatus and all the bumps along the way, it was that it granted me the time to work on TBoA’s story as a whole and solidify the comic’s main aesthetic themes. It’s going to be an odd little mix of the Old West and Victorian/early Edwardian Britain. Rose’s skirt doubles as a shawl and she wears riding breeches underneath. It can be reversed to black and used to conceal her while she sneaks around Ashwick, as red is deemed The Colour of The Curse and she would stick out too much otherwise. The glove replaces her striker however that will go through some changes.

Sorry if I sound rude, but I truly wish the best for you! You're such an amazing person and it would be a true honor to see and hear more from you. Not to mention, I believe TBoA might become a sensation due to its uniqueness. After all, who needs fairy tales nowadays? Well, I guess there are still some people left. And I believe your story might just be what it's need to turn the spark into a flame. Anyway, take care of yourself first and thanks in advance for reading this message! Bye! (2/2)

This means more to me than I can ever say, and to say that I appreciate it would be an understatement. I’ve been thinking a lot about how I would “break my silence”, so to speak. Especially this last month or so. Those of you that follow me on my twitter know that I’m occasionally active over there for brief episodes, maybe because my following isn’t quite as big so I don’t feel the same performance anxiety that I do on here or my YouTube channel. I keep telling myself that I should return with a bang or roar but I think it just puts even more pressure on the situation.

TBoA is my everything. This project is more important to me than anything else I’ve created, so to everyone who has messaged me with concerns that my absence means the cancellation of the story, rest assured! I honestly don’t think hell nor high waters could stop me from working on this project. Even if - God forbid - something were to happen to me personally, I’d find a way to make sure the story is told in the end. I would also like to post more work unrelated to TBoA as well. Fanart, gifts, standalone work, etc.

But that aside, I want to thank you all so very much for your patience. I am often brought to tears by how understanding the vast majority of you all have been, how kind your messages are, and how supportive my friends have remained. It has been a very difficult few years and I believe that I lost myself somewhere in the struggle. Things that once came easily to me - my thoughts, my art, my convictions - are now harder to grasp. I have more recovering to do and a lot more lost confidence to build, but I will get there. I’d like to start posting more again but this is a very big leap for me since not many others besides my close friends have seen my art in quite some time, so I hope you all will enjoy my sketches, wips, and experimental work while I recover. It makes me nervous to show “rough” work since I’m such a perfectionist, but that very trait is one of many that ended up crippling me for as long as it did so I simply must overcome it and make peace with myself and what I, as one person, can reasonably produce.

Thank you all for your support! 🐺🌹⚕️🐍

"Rose H. Barton: Born with a distinctive red birthmark covering her right eye, Rose’s childhood was not an easy one. Despite this, she possesses an unusual amount of determination uncharacteristic of her meek disposition. Her life growing up is a mystery, but she will first make an appearance while moving into Ashwick, bringing with her an unorthodox way of counteracting the ghostly epidemic …"

A (long overdue) full-body character sheet for Rose! I’m sorry this took so long, but I’ve been working on a lot of exciting stuff. Wolfe and Hunter are next, depending on which one I finish first!

“A better world starts with you, Rose.”

Do you have any headcanon voices for the characters?

Oh jeez, most of my headcanons are from video games, honestly! I play so many and my options are endless, but I’ll try to narrow it down:Wolfe: Freddie A'BrassardHunter: Connor ByrneRose: Laura Bailey (this was tricky, not quite as perky as Serah but not as deep as Lucina)Ghasper: Darin De PaulMallory: Evetta Muradasilova
