Maria And Her Little Alien Brother Sketchbook Dump From The Last Few Weeks

I wanted to announce my upcoming original comic series, Wellwishers, and the two main characters of it -- Vincent and Witherspoon! 😼 The comic itself isn't ready yet, but I have steadily been working on it behind the scenes -- in fact, I've been working on this project for ten years! I don't want to share too many details yet, lest I wander into spoiler territory, but I wanted to begin to share some fun sneak peeks and to introduce the main characters. Vincent and Witherspoon become unlikely best friends and have adventures in their strange, magic-filled world!

I'll be posting updates on the progress of the comic as they come in my Discord server, Gremlin's Secret Forest (follow the link in the Linktree in my bio to join)! It is a fun, wholesome community geared towards Christian creatives and fans of my comics.

"Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to grow There's something out there, far from my home A longing that I've never known.."

A "Nightmare Before Christmas" inspired piece featuring the lovely Princess Luna!

Was planning to finish this for halloween, but it got finished after Halloween instead sadly :(

I like him, he's my friend :)

one of the guys in the kitchen at work got called irritating and replied “I am not irritating. You just find me irritating. There are many people who love me.” I think we should all adopt his attitude

I made a YouTube video where I redesign Shadow the Hedgehog in my style (just for fun)! I enjoyed making my own little interpretation! Follow the link in my bio to go to my YouTube channel, or look for Jazzleeillustrates there. What characters (Sonic or not) would you like to see me take a try at redesigning?

"Wolpertinger Family Leporidae Volaticus ramusalis

Reddish hue, with grey-blue primary feathers and ruddy patches on its legs and back.

Native to the eastern European Alps, these creatures are shy and like small colonies in rocky burrows. Males - also known as "bucks" - grow antlers after the second year.

Young are born sightless and helpless underground, where they are raised by the colony until maturity; a matter of weeks. Females and young greatly resemble their closest relative, the Skvader (Volaticus suecia) while males seem akin to the Jackalope (Volaticus americanus) of the American Rocky Mountains. All Volaticus spp. seem to prefer altitude."

"Antlers: genus Volaticus V. ramusalis "Wolpertinger" V. americanus "Jackalope" V. miraji "Al-miraj" V. raspel "Rasselbuck" V. suecia "Skvader" "

Oh I love making up fake species profiles. Blame my proclivity for birding, I suppose. All of these are 'real' folklore rabbits from around the world. Credit for the Wolpertinger references goes to @meklarian's lovely desert cottontail photography, which was both the basis and inspiration for these!

I'm stressed so again a little Snufkin.

What makes you feel rejuvenated? I certainly feel good after getting a chance to be creative! I hope you have enjoyed episode #25! If you like the comic, please subscribe on Webtoon. I also have a surprise this week -- my Ko-Fi membership has gone down from $5 to $3! Wow, what a deal! You can get early access to new comics every single week and get to view them a week earlier than anyone else. 👏

Tag Game

thanks for tagging me, @knight5tar! 😁

Last song 🎧: I really love End of the Line by Traveling Wilburys lately, so I've been listening to that one a lot! (Thanks to the Sonic 3 movie for sticking it in my mind lol)

Favorite Color 🎨 : Purple (specifically light purple)!

Last Book 📕: I've been reading The Way of the Fearless Writer by Beth Kempton (I got it from the library)! It has some really good principles in it, and I've been enjoying it, even though I don't fully agree with the author's philosophy

Last Movie 🍿: Howl's Moving Castle!

Last TV show 📺 : I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I had watched a TV series, I had to go back in my journal app to see that it was September when I binge-watched some episodes of The Addams Family

Sweet/Spicy/flavory 🍔 : I like sweet and savory, and I think I can go one way or the other depending on my mood, but I don't like spicy!

Current obsession 🌀 : I've been having a lot of fun playing through Sonic Frontiers!

Last thing I searched 🔎 : I'm not sure honestly, haha!

Looking forward to 👀 : Hmm... I would say scrapbooking with a good friend next week! We have made a goal to get together at the end of every month this year and make a scrapbook spread for the month, so I'm hopeful we will get to finish our goal!

10 peeps to tag and/or get to know better: I'm not sure who to tag, so anyone who sees this post and is a mutual of mine can do this if they would like!
