I was inking comic pages on the floor in the dark last time I moved, because the writer turned in the last script a month late. Sorry for all the work I turned down but I learned from that experience, haha.

Originally designed this for Mahogany, Kelly Green, and Bubblegum inks. Then realized I can do it all in two: Bright Red overprinting Kelly Green ink to get some browns, Bright Red tones for the daisy blush 🪿🌼 Excited to mess around in the studio more now, hope y'all like pastoral shit
