Pondering the rockband ocs again.. refreshing yet tricky to work on less cartoony character designs, time to get back to figure drawing and shake off the rust! (Riseon, Spencer, and Fish are their names) #art
Two waist up character sketches. One of a girl with long hair and a bass on her back. One of a girl with short pigtails and a big jacket. A page of sketches of a character with sunglasses and a mullet.

I loooved hunger's bite i am eagerly awaiting the sequel 👀
taylor-robin.bsky.social taylor robin @taylor-robin.bsky.social · Sep 1
It's Labor Day! Have you read Hunger's Bite?

When the ocean liner SS Lark comes under new management, something worse than burnout awaits the suffering crew, and it's up to Wick Farley--vampire and agent of Goldfinch--to find out what's going on.

www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/taylo...
pages 112 and 113 from Hunger's Bite, in which the villain Honeycutt gives a speech about the ship's boiler, lauding how much coal it consumes, and how nothing moves without it--and by extension, himself. hunger's bite pages 54 and 55, in which Wick encounters an exhausted Aamir, and almost bites him
