characters from my SECOND webcomic color wheel!
Arianna from https://castoff-comic.com by @thestarfishface
she's mean and she's rude and i love that for her. more angry women. i think she's got some trauma. some baggage. but she can do cool fighting magic so its like... at least there's that? you look cool, arianna.
Tiara from https://wychwoodcomic.com by @varethane
she doesn't wear tiaras (YET). i'm still waiting on it. cool fire magic. her eyes glow in the magic realm but that was a weird situation for everyone so let's just not think about it too hard haha. has an attitude (i'm here for it)
Puffer from https://pufferandclarissa.com by @jamesnelsonart
just read this! it's super great. i'm going to punch her mom. she needs to go on bestie adventures with clarissa and find her sense of self-worth. she puffs up her cheeks.... it's cute. is that why her name's puffer? unknown.
Boggmouth from https://ghostjunksickness.com by @spacerocketbunny and @feathernotes
the classic. big alien girl who could toss me into space. we love it. was supposed to die but was too cool. her head tentacles intrigue me. i don't think she can move them but like what if..
Yineshe from Witch Heart @hamboneslamdome
she's The it girl. she's the moment. she's a demon queen. she can do it all. hears about an epic fight for her hand and is like :/ cringe. and then just stops it immediately. no sweat. queen.
Queen Astralis from https://jackbeloved.com (@jackbeloved)
GIANT!!! WOMAN!!!!!! you can see her bones through her skin. her hair is the night sky. has a lot to deal with, unfortunately. she looks great doing it though.
Damien from https://brotherswebcomic.com by @breenheath
a bit snobby, a bit snotty. something's up with him though. i want to study him under a microscope. is NOT passionate about mail delivery and for that he is CRINGE.
Begonia from http://ctccomic.com by @velinxi
oh, begonia... you've got some real thinking to do about your current employment. i think her heart is in the right place, but uhhh.. do some thinking. amazing fashion. has had very long hair and a bob, they both are Iconic.

my piece for the Hemisphere: a Witch Hat Atelier seasons themed zine! thank you for having me! they're having a leftovers sale until stock runs out 🖋🍀🌷🍁❄🌧 WIPs + inspiration board + symbolism under the cut!
got some requests to put this on my inprnt! the site has sales very often & you can grab it as a small or big size print.
I had a pretty good idea of the composition from the get-go. I took inspiration from art nouveau (primarily Alphonse Mucha), German fairy tales, and some 1920s perfume ads. I wanted the girls to look like fairies, akin to The Root Children by Sibylle von Olfers.
Olly just didn't work out in this drawing due to time restraints. I do love him very much though.
I actually kinda stopped making illustrations like these (including the TGAA/DGS tarot card + TGAA/DGS zine pieces a while back) because they were starting to get very hard on my arm, as I had an RSI (repetitive strain injury) a few years back during school. (Not putting the onus on the zines at all ofc! I genuinely love working with zine projects! it's def a me thing WAHAHAHA. my style was getting too anime and too detailed for my liking and everything was just taking forever to finish ngl. but I didn't have time to experiment with a more simple style outside of all of my deadlines)
I think that realizing you need to stop is okay. It's something that Shirahama teaches us in her story and I want to learn to take it to heart.

MILD SPOILERS AHEAD
(for those who havent read the story I guess)
each character's symbolism:
- Coco - spring, clovers - Coco is the quintessential spring girl, and I wanted her to symbolize new beginnings, and oh boy did Coco bring a big one. The four leaf clover in particular symbolizes luck and good fortune - to some characters, Coco may have brought fortune, to others her presence brings misfortune, take that as you will.
- Tetia - summer, gladiolus - the name "gladiolus" comes from the Latin word "gladius", meaning "sword", based on the shape of the flower. you can interpret it as "you pierce my heart", perfect for a girl like Tetia, who has a contagious energy, with a romantic and grandiose nature.
- Agott - autumn, marigold - I read somewhere marigolds symbolize strength and power, perfect for our little magical powerhouse Agott. They can also symbolize jealousy (yellow flowers in particular have this association), which reflects on her rivalry with Coco in the beginning.
- Riche - winter, snowdrop - The white color of snowdrops has a strong connotation to innocence, which reflects on Riche's wish to stay a child forever. It can also symbolize rebirth and new beginnings (like Coco's clovers), as the snowdrop is the first flower to bloom in the spring, when the snow has not yet melted. I wanted the concept of "rebirth" to associate with Riche's friendship with Euini, and of his sort of "rebirth" into a new being.
- Qifrey - he does not have a flower per se, but as the caregiver and educator of the four girls, he represents the rainy season - precipitation being the one thing that binds all of these seasons together. (Note some areas of the world do not have a rainy season like where I live). I think somewhere along the line I wanted to put hydrangeas behind him, to really bring out the "rainy" theme, but the thought probably got lost somewhere in translation...
- bg flowers - honestly I just picked whatever. white lily, daffodil, hydrangea, zinnia, tulip
