A series of Q&A drawings centered on my character Basil Genovere! I prompted questions through Instagram and promised to sketch Basil responding. I have a few left that I would still like to do, but here is the first batch of Basil’s responses!

If you have any questions for Basil, I might just have him answer them for you! 

The comic Basil is in can be found here: @basilandthym !

Some doodles I did of the kids based on the history and lore of the spices they're named after

Basil’s updated character sheet!

Basil Genovere has come so far. They have got to be the OC I have put the most thought and love into. And I have to thank my S.O. @sarenderpity for that. Developing them alongside Thym has truly been an adventure. My first foray into Victorian design and the steampunk genre but not my last by a long-shot! I hope to create several more character sheets for the @basilandthym characters we've thought up together. I hope you're ready. 💕 We've got quite the cast of spices for you all to enjoy with us

WIP! Doing a realistic Basil painting, because he deserves it! It's gonna take a bit more work but I thought I'd share what I've got so far! DID YOU GUYS KNOW the @basilandthym story is relaunching THIS SUNDAY!! It's going to have new formatting and I'll have more of a hand in what will be seen 😉 Super excited, I hope you all will check in to basilandthym.tumblr.com this Sunday!

It’s my boy Basil’s birthday today so I’m celebrating with lots of art in his honor. This one is inspired by a lovely Basil moodboard my partner made! Thanks @sarens_art

Guess who's still making updates to the Basil character sheet? Ahh It's me! Sometimes it's a gradual process to get a character to look how they should. This changes to the sheet aren't quite there yet but soon! 😋 posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2D5deIJ

The happiest purest Basil. Maybe they are so overjoyed to finally have a proper finished character sheet! (Which I will be posting shortly) Or maybe they are proud that the first page @basilandthym webcomic is up!!! Whaaat!? I hope you all will join the amazing @sarenderpity_ and me in the world we've built together! Check out Basilandthym.tumblr.com to join the Adventure!

Do you ever just need to draw a bunch of characters with ridiculously uncharacteristic fluffy hair? (Not including Thym haha) I hadn't until yesterday 😂😂😂 So glad I did. Bottom two charrries are @modelmanntastic 's c: posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2QLpyDp

This specific portion of my Basil painting keeps calling me back to appreciate it. I really love the watery roses. I hope I can share the significance of the imagery of this painting someday. I want to share it the right way. Not just in a caption on instagram haha. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2KLPs4A

😭 My boys all grown up. Basil's age progression gives me bittersweet feelings. He really does grow a lot as a character, though it's obviously more of an internal than external thing. It was really fun to play with his styles I will say!! I'm going to have to get Basil in more of his 50s wear a bit sooner than his 50s 😂 Scarves on Basil 😍👌 posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2r44CJB

Another Basil Q&A page! Basil was a cute teen yeah!? Plus slight robo arm explain. There's more of his Q&A posts at @basilandthym 's story highlight so check there if you have any curiousities about my boy! 😍 And I am working on the final Tetch Q&A question so a full post will be coming soon with those 🤔 posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2qZNswo

Decided I needed to see Basil in 1. A bowtie 2. Glasses 3. A Capaldi-esque look I love me a sharp nerdy spectacle boy 🤓 posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2PQfK7u
