Chrysanthemum Dawn: comic script preview

New Patreon post: some more concept art

I didn’t have time to scan/render this one, but here’s a pencil sketch of a temple built into the side of a cliff and a giant robot skeleton embedded there. As always, my Patreon is only $3 a month, and you get access to early chapters and bonus art. Plus, you get to support an independent creator and keep her cats happy.

I’m currently scripting the first issue of Chrysanthemum Dawn! It’ s happening! After that comes storyboarding/thumbnails, and then the actual drawing.
