Happy Early Valentine's! ♥ WIPs and sharing our process!

Added 2021-02-13 09:12:19 +0000 UTC

Hey lovelies! ♥ We just wanted to take a second to catch you guys up on what we've been up to this week, and to share some of our work process with you!

We currently have half of Monday's page finished— but Suzana and I have definitely noticed a tendency we have to burn the candle on both ends trying to double our drawing time making holiday art sometimes. I shared this a little bit in our process videos we posted on our Youtube last year, but I try to pay a lot of attention to Suzana's arm health— and I'm always really motivated to try to make healthier decisions when things start to get a little painful for her.

To be perfectly honest with you, that can be genuinely really challenging for both of us, because we do very sincerely love making stuff and often push ourselves literally just because it's really fun to make stuff.

In talking about what might be a healthier art schedule for us over the next couple days, here's what we settled on:

Monday's "page" will be these Valentines, which we'll share early with you guys here on Patreon as they're finished
Friday's page will be the next page in the chapter [20.16], which we'll also share early with you (very likely Monday night); I'll include the WIP of it on this post as well
We'll be streaming our page batching process on Discord as we start it next week, and will also save that footage for a Making Of video so we can chat about it more with you guys

In the meantime, here's a WIP shot of the Valentines we're finishing up right now! We'll post the finished versions of all of these as we have them for you, and we'll continue to work on them through the weekend to have them up for Sunday!

We'll chat again before Valentine's, but just the same— just know that Suzana and I appreciate you more than we can say, and we hope to keep making stuff you guys like as much as we like making it! ♥ Happy early Valentine's Day!
