Two Paper Doll Veronika updates

 

Paper Doll Veronika has updated; Chapter 14 of Part III, "Christmas of Fire II", has begun!

The chapter begins here.

The part begins here.

The story begins here.

Once again, what should have gone up on Friday goes up on Sunday, because there was a lot to make in order to get to the point I wanted to reach within the Octave of Christmas, that is now.

It also updated on Arktoons, which is slightly behind.

The latest Arktoons episode is here.

The series is here.

It updates on Fridays (most of the time) on my site, Sundays on Arktoons, and Mondays on Substack (Substack is at a much earlier point in the comic). 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.

Lady of the Lake progress

 

Sketch, ink outline, and marker values for my "Seven Swans a'swimming - Lady of the Lake" piece. The story which it illustrates, "The Little Drummer Bird" by Snowyteller, is now complete on Substack. Read it here! It's very Andersenian.

A Christmas present

 

Cat Salinas on Deviantart drew this picture of Veronika as Christmas present for me! It's lovely, reminds me of John R. Neill's illustrations for the Oz books.

A very merry Christmas to you all!

This update is late; it should have gone up on Friday. But when you see how long and detailed it is, you should understand. Why, that mermaid's tail you see above took over an hour to make. And I stubbornly refused to divide the updates further because next week's update (which is also long and detailed, alas) is specially timed for the season.

It also updated on Arktoons, which is slightly behind.

Seven swans a'swimming - Lady of the Lake

 

My Christmas card picture this year, an illustration for "The Little Drummer Bird" by Snowyteller, a currently-ongoing Advent serial story on Substack. The imagery of this installment I found overwhelmingly beautiful and had to draw it.

It made me very nostalgic, to be suddenly seized with an art idea that's not a paid project and stay up late to finish it, not to mention the wings and glowing blues, which featured heavily in my art a long time ago. But now I've learned better that blues glow more deeply when there's a bit of orange.

Recipients of my cards this year might think me a bit strange. I hope you're having a good Advent!

Creeping things without number

For this picture I did wet-on-wet watercolor blobs and let the way they flowed determine the position of the fish.

This would have gone up last Friday but I was terribly sick. Rather than pushing it to this Friday, I post it now, because I am determined that certain pages will go up in a certain season which is approaching.

I missed the update on my site last Friday because I was dreadfully ill. Ordinarily I'd just post it the following Friday, but since I'm very intent on certain pages going up in certain upcoming liturgical seasons, I'm going to try to get it up tomorrow.

Paper Doll Veronika on Substack

 

I have just started a Substack for Paper Doll Veronika and am posting it there from the beginning. And since Substack has options for free and paid posts, I will also put there the bonus material that is already up on the Paper Doll Veronika Subscribestar.

This material includes: 

Sketches and WIPs of character designs and chapter cover art
High-resolution ink outlines suitable for printing and coloring
High-res printable paper dolls and outfits
Full map of Veronika's world and journey
Uncluttered backgrounds from the comic
Scans of antique ephemera from my collections
Animal Stories comics (one so far)
Videos of music from the comic played on Celtic harp (one so far)
Studio tour video (planned)

It'll be the same stuff in both places so don't get a paid subscription to both, unless you really want to give me money!

 Another thing for which to give me money is art originals. I've added a few more pieces to the shop, in time for Christmas shopping!
