Early Cas & Ripley concept art

Ripley outfit concepts. The first one was inspired by 1800s visuals mixed in with fantasy wardrobe elements and the second one by early/mid 1900s sailor outfits, though it's a bit more modern or eclectic take on those! Might draw him in a traditional sailor outfit at some point.

Flowers for Ripley. Or from Ripley?

Inspired by "My love mine all mine" by Mitski.

Inspired by "Indigo Chateau" by Autoheart. The chateau in question is the manor in the background, and it's part of the story!

Ripley, the greatest magician in the universe..!

The marionette concept was inspired by the song "Garrick" by Gaby Moreno - the story of a performer who's down in the dumps.

Cas & Ripley!

Cas is a steady person who usually rolls with things, a bit awkward, tenacious, sharp-witted type.

Ripley is sometimes a moody gremlin who shuts everyone out, but most often quite charming and whimsical. He's endlessly curious (perhaps a bit too curious, at times).

A pencil sketch from my sketchbook.

A rough comic page exploration, pen and brush pen. This door is one of the dimensional passages of Wanderlust Star (that leads to who knows where).

Inspired by "The Boom" by Palaye Royale, that's where the text excerpt is from.

Silly Cas and Ripley doodles! Featuring the fancy 1930s/40s car that they sometimes borrow.
