Emaré is my guinea pig for clothes I can’t afford. I may not be able to have them, but she can.

Here is the sketch for this week’s page, I plan on coloring everything this week I haven’t been able to due to commission work. Thanks for being patient with me!
I finished the “Begin Again” inspired drawing I did of Emaré. These are images I will eventually use for the Patreon spoiler tier. I had to crop the colored version even more so than the sketch version:
My husband and I have been rewatching FMAB and I had to redraw one of my favorite scenes from the series:

Here is the sketch for the page, enjoy!

Edit 8/15: I’m working on the lines to be out tonight, I had more commission work come in this week.
I finally finished all my commission work. Jared and I also celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary this weekend. He surprised me with a drive to Ely, and we got to see the beautiful Ely Cathedral. We found out they do tours for the tower as well, I’m excited to check that out next week. It’s supposed to be one of the highest points in England. As a girl who grew up in Colorado, I’m interested to see how high it really feels compared to what I’m used to. It’s hard to beat the height of the Rockies but I’m sure the Cathedral will be beautiful.
Thanks for always being patient with me, it means more than you guys know.

I wasn’t able to get to the lines, so here is the sketched version for everyone. You get to see more of my process here too and how I create backgrounds to set up my scenes. SketchUp is such a lifesaver for comics, I sincerely don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ll try to color this tomorrow, it’ll depend on my current commission work.
Here are the base colors! Hopefully I’ll have a chance to finish this and the other pages this week. What do you guys think is Adrien’s favorite thing to draw?

Edit 8/1: I had a ton of commissions this week and just started on the page today, I will try to get the lines up tonight, but for sure with colors tomorrow! Here is sneak peek of Emaré’s next outfit for everyone.

I tried a new coloring method here, I like parts of it, but I plan on mixing it with what I was doing previously to find what I’m looking for. I think it was quicker too. Let me know what you guys think! I also changed the font for the Xian language to be more Japense-esque than Greek, since Xia is inspired by Japan. Both are good, I may change it back.
The heat wave in England has been wild without AC. The houses here are meant to keep a lot of heat in and it’s fine until a heat wave like this comes around. It’s made me want to be anywhere but near my hot computer lol. Thank you for being patient with me and enjoy the lines!

Adrien is trying his best, he didn’t sign up for this.
His eyes would be glowing here still, forgot to add it for the lines.

Thanks for being patient, hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
I sketched out a ton of Theora pages last week, they’re very rough, but I’m hoping to fully line some this week. That’s honestly what put me behind on the comic update. When creativity hits, you’ve got to take it and go.
Here’s a preview as well for the patreon page I’m working on. I want each tier to represent a character, this is the one I have in mind for Tamiko, I may change it once I sketch the other 3 out, we’ll see:

Edit 07/04: Next page will be up either Monday or Tuesday! Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone. Happy 4th to my fellow Americans and happy Canada Day to my Canadian readers!
Here is the colored version! Let me know if the new scribbles look good. I think I like them. Thank you for all of the advice everyone gave as well!
I’m curious if anyone would of guessed this, but Tamiko doesn’t understand what anyone is saying and vice versa. I originally didn’t have this planned in the story, I had thought about it, but I kept thinking, “I’m not Tolkien, I don’t know any other languages.” Then I had a professor in college convince me it would add so much to the story to have a language barrier and gave me tips on how I could go about it (which we will see).
Let me know as well if you like the scribbles I did, I’m not sure I’m sold on them, but I don’t know what else I’d do? So, yeah lol.
I’ve also started sketching for the Theora comic, I have the story to a point I’m confident to draw it now. I’m also working on putting a Patreon together for the comic as well. I plan on doing 4 tiers that will be each main character, (Tamiko, Kyan, Adrien, and Emaré).
