Just to let you all know, the family is doing fine after Arianna's passing. We're coping as best we can. Friday of last week was the memorial service, and it went beautifully.
During the last week or so, I've been playing around with Lily Merriweather's design once more. This particular new look is inspired by the style of another favorite comic category of mine, Franco-Belgian comics! Especially the likes of The Smurfs, Spirou & Fantasio, Modeste & Pompon, etc. These titles have appealing, cartoony characters, and yet the stories they inhabit are not only funny, but very intriguing as well.
I've been doing pencil sketches, which I'll post next (once I finish a second batch), but here's my attempts on tablet in Photoshop. This particular style for Lily is inspired by the works of veteran Franco-Belgian cartoonist, Andre Franquin, one of my favorites. The first, fully colored, was done on March 6th.
