Drawing covers as I cannot seem to write

10 Ohuhu markers with 7 ShinHan Touch markers will be the colors I'll use for my furry comic covers. I'll also use 4 of the 8 Faber-Castell art pens if for any inking.

Also, by coloring only along lines, I can still show skin tones and clothing colors. It makes for more luminescence and gives vibrancy to the characters and space.

When I'm working in black or white, I'll use a single color and perhaps its own shades or tones ONLY for that chapter. I feel it gives a European graphic novel look while I'm aiming for more of an Asian comic look for the covers themselves.

"Don't you draw any humans?"

I've always enjoyed drawing aliens and otherworldly mythic beings. And yet, I keep getting asked the same question over and over.

As I said on Twitter, random folks over the years keep asking, "But you draw animals all the time! Don't you [or] (can't) you draw humans?" 

*Me taking a deep sigh* 

Very well. Here's a human character with her furry alien lover. You're happy now?

From my working series 'Time Tiger: 4846 A.D.'

I call this piece "A Girl & Her Cat" (a play on the neverending 'A boy & his dog' media out there). 

This Caribbean-diaspora character and her alien partner are just some of the cast from my working-series titled Time Tiger Chronicles: 4846 A.D. 

These two have gone through multiple incarnations and their story has gone through several drafts and revisions, but now I think their new looks have forced more questions and the only way I can answer them is by rewriting their tale once again!
