Concept sketches for Key:
Early concept sketches of Key for webcomic "Book of Change".

Photo's from the sketchbook are a bit messy, since my sketchbook is THICK and it is pretty much impossible to take good photos with.

Final character reference sheet for Key.
Character ref sheet of Key for webcomic "Book of Change".

The design is inspired by birds of paradise.

I tried to incorporate elements from both the object itself as well as Murmeli's shapes, since key is a part of him.

Old character ref sheet of Esa that I posted earlier.

Character sheet of Esa from my webcomic "Book of Change".

I though this was pretty recent, but it seems this is all the way back from 2020. Time sure flies! :'D

Love drawing this perpetually tired programmer.

Character sheet of Murmeli from my webcomic "Book of Change".

Another older character sheet (2020).

Glad I drew these! Slow update schedule means you sometimes don't get to draw a character for a while. It is easy to forget little details while they are on bench.

I recommend going with the one that gives you as a writer the most FEELS.

Agony and *incoherent screaming* count as feels too~~~

Characters or character concepts first. Then important scenes in various parts of the story that I wrestle into a plot. Then refining the plot, the scenes and the characters as I go along.

Sometimes discovering new layers of a character helps really understand and flesh out a future scene better.

Also in wrong language...

Brain pls write something in your native language for once! Not everything needs to be in English. Finnish is cool too, you know!

Brain: HISSS!!!
