A set of animal sketch studies I made for practice; pine martens, bunnies, and baby red pandas.

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first instalment of a new series I'll be working on to get things rolling with my upcoming projects. I'll predictably be calling it "Worldbuilding," because that's what it's about.

The ideas I've developed over the past few years have lived almost exclusively inside my own head up until now. Since I'm going to be exploring them in my art a lot more on this site, what better place to start than to get the most important parts down on paper?

These ideas tend to begin with a character concept and branch out from there. It therefore makes sense to start by fleshing out those characters with some design sheets and bios for people to understand them a little better when I start including them in scenes and stories.

In order to ease into things and help me get a better handle on these designs, I started out by doing a sketch page for each character. Some of them will be new to you, since I've not drawn them much or at all.

I hope you like them. You'll be seeing a lot more of them very soon!

Phew!

I've been working hard trying my best to catch up to my backlog as it continues to prove quite challenging! As a result, I've neglected to upload as regularly as I could, and this means plenty of content coming up for you to enjoy.

To keep my workload varied, I've been using my scribble pad more often. As you'll find in this batch and the next few I have queued up, there's a mix of rewards and random doodles I thought to make while streaming, in between work stuff.
