Sleepless Nights 29 (Patreon)

*EDIT*: Made a few adjustments and added a touch of "glow" to the breakfast-presentation panel.

At first I didn't think pink would work for Cebron's apron, but then it dawned on me that it looks good on Nailah, so why not her guardian-snake!

The most challenging bit on this page was definitely the food...I don't draw food terribly often so getting it to look edible was definitely a new experience. I looked at a lot of Miyazaki food from his movies to get a feel for how it's illustrated and now I understand why he exaggerates it so much. The second you try to be modest with illustrating food, it just seems to feel really dull, lifeless, and ultimately unappetizing, which isn't good for storytelling purposes.

I'll be heading down to Italy tomorrow for a week to hang out with some friends before one of them heads back to the US from his deployment, but don't worry! I'll be scribbling as much as I can while I'm on the go, and definitely still plan on finishing Sleepless Nights and that Indigo pinup before the end of the month. Bear with me!
