I absolutely love the bustle fashions of the late 19th century, however odd they may be, and I try to put it to good use in my comic. This is a sneak peek from the page I just finished, where I designed this lovely red dress for Nessa to wear. Now if only I could make a real one for myself...
I thought it might be fun to try to paint more realistic portraits of all my characters - to imagine what they might look like in real life. Yesterday I started with Nessa.
"Kitsune" is Japanese for "fox". It was inspired by those Japanese folk tales about the foxes that go around masquerading as beautiful women and tricking young men into marrying them.
