Today's designs.  From the top:

-Dress designs for halflings in the background. I'll do separate designs for Alfie and Melly.

-Figuring out the look of the Kupala night. The first ten pages or so are going to show a lot of it. It's going to be a challenge to get the lighting right hence I am trying something new.

-I redid one of the old panels from chapter 5 to try out a different workflow for the comic. Instead of inking and then adding tones to the background I straight up paint it over the sketch. It's a lot more flexible, and I think it gives better results. I never felt comfortable with inking the background.

The pic of melly sitting on a rock is a more involved test. It took an hour in total and I think it looks pretty neat for that timeframe. It's still too light, even with magical halfling nightvision, but it looks really solid otherwise.
