everything is drawings

With the things happening over at the -other- blue social media network, I just want to have more of an art-forward presence on here. Feel free to follow me on my new account for more of what I’ve been posting on this one, plus a little more reblogging/boosting of other artists I love. :) I’ll still try to reblog new stuff I post there to this account, and I hope I can follow and support more of you better, too!

trying to do some more small pose studies and such when  have a second to figure out characters

I’m Kotaline Jones! You probably know me for fanart or zine projects, especially Fire Emblem fanart, but I’m also a cartoonist and editor. :) I’m working on an original retro sci-fi project right now called “SINCERITY MACHINE”, and I love making books with people! Nice to meet you, and for long time followers, nice to be reacquainted.

still noodling away at this story in my own time, i think that the cast and design sense is coming along!

I chose Akane and Sumire because of their relationship with the gods/supernatural and how their lineage is long like the symbolism in red maple and stag for longevity, but contrast with the irony of their individual lifespans, intended to be short. The deer is colored with a palette that draws from Aoi Akane, because of his choice to become supernatural to help preserve Akane's longevity, and the rocks at Sumire's feet are the graves of the children that were sacrificed before her to preserve the longevity of her lineage.

Designs for a 6 sided Hoshido-themed metal and enamel dice I was asked to design for a KS project early last year! The project is live now and features dice inspired by Fates, 3H, and Awakening!

Happy new year 2022!
