I saw in a dream an image like this--sort of, one almost never gets it quite right--and just wanted to draw something pretty.

It updates on Fridays on my site and Sundays on Arktoons. (My site is ahead). I recommend using bookmarking or the "Save your place" gadget on my site, even once you catch up, because the site starts at the beginning and updates are several pages.

Veronika Bosch, who's never left her father's estate, has to go on a journey when envious animals kick her out. Half collage, half puppetry, it's the traditional media equivalent of an elaborate sprite comic.

With this one I was really inspired by photographs of sandstone caves in Utah and music from Westerns.

Featured in the Spotlight!

 

Chapter 16 of Part II of Paper Doll Veronika, "Through the Veins of Pragmatism", continues on Arktoons with another episode posted this past Sunday!

And even more exciting, the comic was featured on the Arkhaven blog with a tantalizing introduction by the Dark Herald:

Mary MacArthur has delivered for us a story very reminiscent of the old style of the tales of faerie, the kind of story where one Cinderella’s stepsisters cuts off her toe and the other her heel trying to fit into the slipper and their punishment was to have their eyes pecked out. Where Snow White’s Evil Queen was forced to wear red hot iron shoes until she died from dancing herself to death.
