A bit of Leif & Thorn Volume 7 bonus art: what happens after Rowan explains the Side Hustled storyline to Archie.

For anyone who needs some comfortable escapism right now. (Which I can only assume is a lot of us.) Leif, Thorn, a cozy floral hammock, a clear spring day with blue skies.

Needed some guard-knights for the current Leif & Thorn storyline who are not emotionally-invested in the plot.

Time for an unsubtle-homage backup team!

Repping the four most-common heartsword types: backsword (he's part Sønska), saber (she has wings), broadsword (he has prosthetic eyes), rapier (she's just Ken).

Adult Thorn's POV during the last strip of In The Deep End.

Redraw of the first Magical Thorn design, from 2016!

Pretty sure I hadn't even started the AU yet, at this point. This was the reference I needed to kick it off.

Redraw of this wedding fashion showcase from 2016! Now with softer colors, and brush-drawn embroidery/flowers, instead of just whatever I could ink by hand.

Ceannic couples tend to dress in whites and pastels, although the darker knightly dress uniform is common if you're pledged to an order. The flower crown is a must, for all genders and presentations -- it's a general symbol of goodness and prosperity. Expect a lot of other flowers too, as a point of national pride. Sønska couples wear a lot more black, because the last thing you want in your wedding photos is to blend in with the snow. Plus lots of red (because it's lucky), and as much gorgeous detailed embroidery as you can afford. The jeweled silver circlets tend to be family heirlooms.

I always do "winter/snow/pine trees" wallpapers in December, and I really wanted to shake that up a little.

Well, December is summer in Australia! So here's an Australia-inspired desert landscape, in the summer sunset. Russ Raifort from Leif & Thorn on a rock in the foreground, taking some readings.

Costume reference for an upcoming magical girl from Leif & Thorn.

She's mixed-race, half Sønheic, and the guiding theme for her costume is "grill/fireplace." (Her transformation re-colors her prosthetic legs to match her costume.) She's also designed as a palette-swapped foil for Agent Delphinium, for...reasons.

Redraw of this waltzing bonus sketch that went in Leif & Thorn Volume 1.

(I'll be putting the redraw in Volume 7! If you missed the crowdfunding campaign, you can grab it at the BackerKit preorder store.)

Do not meddle in the affairs of Delphinium, for you are fragile and would look good without kneecaps.

Redraw of some art from 2016! This time I looked up reference photos of people swinging large axes, so her pose is more like the references than the original drawing.

Thorn with a cozy poncho, a cozy cup of hot chocolate, and a cozy Leif.

Redraw of some art from 2016! It got a little avant-garde with the palette, so instead of trying to recreate the exact look, I did "similar colors, as created with one of the palettes I regularly use in 2024."
