Even if fall is only half-heartedly showing up right now, I’m making some little transitions into cozy season. All the ingredients for mulled apple cider are on the counter waiting for me to make a batch. And I guess I can't let this beautiful bottle of dark rum go to waste...
So, I started this sketch page by playing around with a fun pose that promised to show off all the goods. And whatever I was going for at first, fossa quickly came to mind. This became “And I don’t need You” (FA | e621) and if I had it to do over again I’d give her a better view of the screen than right between her knees.
Elsewhere, a little doe is trying to be a ray of sunshine to a sad-boy buck who’s having an existential crisis. And as I’m thinking about how fun the scarf-only look is -- and how fun the backpack-only look was in the last upload -- I have to consider the fact that I might just be excited about any outfit that comprises a single article of clothing... Anyway, this sketch got the watercolor/marker treatment as “Liminal Spaces” (FA | e621).
A school-age Petra also shows up here, getting color treatment as “New Kid” (FA). It gets better, girl. It does.
There’s a few tepid explorations of Juno opening her mouth for us. This might deserve more attention, of the totally-lurid-mawshot flavor...
If fall is underway for you, I hope you’re finding your own means of coziness. And if you’ve got your own seasonal traditions, I’m actually very curious to hear.
