#embersthefox

"The fox will remain trapped, as long as they feel they deserve it. The flames, usually suffocating, have dissipated, and will not reignite, not until their mindset changes."

i feel like the Hanged Man fits Embers' personality much, much more than it ever fit Patch's.

The reflected image, impossibly resistant to change, will eventually succumb to the ever turning current of the stream and strip away the flame,

only then can i move forward, and leave the warmth forever behind.

"all it will take is a bit of patience."

assorted sketch pages, mostly experimenting with giving the three of them actual hair instead of what i had been doing.

i really like how Patch's turned out, and i feel like i could have done better with BT0Z but such is life.

if anything these serve as mini ref pages for all of them so that's nice <3

just barely finished doodling this one out, i forgot that uploading more regularly meant invariably decimating my already fractured facsimile of a "sleep schedule"

[New Banner!]

finally finished this!!

spent about a month constantly working on this off and on, refining it.

redraw of old art

somewhere between having a better conceptual base for Embers as a whole, and the chosen medium being digital, i can proudly say i improved upon the original.

it was also mostly a style experiment, going for a mix between the styles i have been using

as always, it feels like a step forward.

21 years! yipeeeeeeee
