Like Chapter 4’s cover, I have fun making abstract art, though this one isn’t as time consuming to create.
★ Starting with this chapter, the Patreon file size has increased to 1600px wide, making it a true “double res” size compared to the pages here on the main site.
★ The $1 tier on Patreon receives pages a week early, and now with a larger, proper “double res” size. ;)

I had a difficult time coming up with a subject for this year’s Valentine’s Day image. I had some ideas, but they required much more time to create than I had. So I ended up thinking about a simple pinup style image, then that evolved into something more like an Art Nouveau inspired piece. (A 2x larger version was added to the $5+ tiers on Patreon.)
For the month of February, I decided to challenge myself and sketch daily. Good or bad, these are those sketches…

I’ve been thinking about this possible side story for a while now. (The 2022 Valentine’s image was a small hint.) The general idea is about a group of mermaids who gather in the island’s underground caverns once a year to… Basically have a party and tell stories about their adventures across the world. I’ve been brainstorming a lot about this recently, but aside from paragraphs of random ideas and possible scenes, I don’t have any characters really designed or scripts even started. Broad strokes are all I have at the moment, but it has begun to take some shape, more so than the original idea of “Oh! I want to do a mermaid story!”
(I plan to post more on this later as the side project moves forward.)
I had planned to draw a mini comic of Jack and his past polycule relationship, but that part of his story isn’t revealed until later in the current chapter (10). Vengari and Sol, however, have been hinted at having a relationship for a while now. It’s subtle, but more obvious in one of Toadie’s Comics.
I haven’t posted one of these in a while. If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen this character posted back in November. In keeping with the whole food theme for names, I used “mozzarella” as inspiration. I also found out that “Morella” is the name of a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. Added with this knowledge, the name stuck.
When I’m working on a character, I tend to scribble out as many sketches as I can. While I’m sketching, I start to see scenes and other images with them. These concepts are a part of the process I love. Most likely, when she’s finally seen in the comic… *crickets* All right. I overwhelmed myself with the thought of everything I need to draw before she makes her debut. *sigh*
