Closing Time

..full of cervitaurs <3

Dear Reader,

I would like to wave goodbye to a turbulent year that is finishing with me doing very little but being cosy with my family and enjoying that I have the headspace to play games and just exist without pressing todos.
I often feel that this pressureless cosy end of the year revives a creativity that gets lost with all the stress around christmas.
This year it is not super strong but I don’t want to pressure myself into more just because “YOU HAVE TIME NOW SO BETTER BE CREATIVE”. xD
Anyhow and every now and then I get the urge to draw fauns and cervitaurs (like centaurs but with deer instead of horses) which has now resurfaced.
I just love sketching how they move. <3

I still want to finish this sketch cause I like theidea of the sowball fight but while working on it I realized I needed to design the characters in this potential illustration first.

And so I did. In December I had been already been drifting towards drawing fantasy stuff and this feels like a logical continuation. I had fun designing these characters over on my Patreon. If you’re interested in a detailed tutorial on this head over there :D

Oh and on that note, I’m a bit late at mentioning this, but we do have 2 days left x) you get a Digital coloring book this month upon subscription…

More cervitaurs that I thought might be a wooden diorama, but this still needs some testing :D
