Thank you to everyone that’s been patiently watching me work through this on Patreon. When I sketched this out some months ago, I had no idea how many things would happen in my life while making it- moving to a new house, my grandmother being put in the hospital, the headquarters of my workplace being hit with a massive tornado, and a whole ass convention in the middle of it.
Some months ago, I had a dream about a woman in a space suit and the space suit was full of stargazer lilies. The image stuck with me and I played around with the idea of it until I was ready to make it. It started this sort of narrative about a space druid, escaping from a crowded planet.
The lilies were a considerable challenge for this one- the petals are a generally flat object that bends and that kind of form can be difficult to portray in a 2D piece. But it came down to just working at it and working at it until the space made sense- even when the computer shuts down without warning.
My rooster painting, focused more on little chicks as my skills didn’t let me draw a rooster (sorry)…
A rooster is a person born in 2005, 1993, 1981 and so on Chinese years. Your lucky colors are the yellow, the gold and the brown, and lucky numbers 5, 7 & 8!
