my works for Corazon week 2023, all compiled into one post so it actually looks chronological as intended. Prompts and IDs are in each image Thank you to @corazon-week for hosting this event and @gendervapor14 for suffering with me writing all the wonderful poetry for each day + throwing ideas at me when im stumped with the prompts

Weasels with low expectations.

One of my characters adopted two ferrets from dubious circumstances. They're low maintenance, really.

Maybe they'll get their own spin-off. :)

Was sketching while ago and this song got into the playlist

[julsteele]

Forgot to share this one here. Little drawing for my spouse from a while ago. :)

Naturally the characters wouldn't just be portraits, so here is the full version of it. Anything past roughly the middle of femur isn't ever gonna appear in the game for these paintings, so it gets very crude very quickly below that.

Really wanted to challange myself a little bit with these characters and become a bit better when it comes to designing characters, particularly the shapes used for them. I'm always a little limited compared to the people who i really adore their shape language of simply by being more focussed on realism than their stylized approach. But doesn't mean that I can't try and figure out a way to bring in some of their lessons into my own character designs. And Conway is a great time to play with that.

Some color for the soul!

Sticker designs painted with watercolor and Holbein pencils.

They are currently available in my Ko-Fi shop!

Not quite on topic, or maybe it is?

Happy V-day. :)

Jay and Val, during a concert of their band.

Little profile pic for myself, after having done a couple of those for others. My character's markings are ever changing, I usually have to look them up.

[julsteele]

No, there will be absolutely no weasels in the story, I told my spouse a few nights ago.

... Meet Mocha and Tiramisu.

Still no progress on the project, but, it's been snowing here and therefore snowfox.

Crows be like

A comfort zone fox while I'm still procrastinating that other project.

Joining the Andor rave party with a 10 page comic in an AU where they survived Scarif, but the rebellion continues to ask more of them (because angst). My god, that show was violently stellar, so much so that it shook me off my months long spiral 😭 this is page 2 preview

But the art is really good!

The heroes who became stardust

[julsteele]

Technically still from last year, with some touch-ups. This is Val.

Still not where I want to be speed-wise, but the process is fun. :)

Happy holidays @candykale 💖
