Characters: Swallow (he/him), a (safe) forest pred fox who's bad at making friends <3
It's finally ready to start posting!! Fren is a comic draft that I uploaded over a year ago, and I've been wanting to do a polished version of it pretty much ever since. I really wanted the polished comic to feel warm and soft, so I mimicked a traditional pencil style and did a lot of soft color blending on top of it. The downside is that this style takes a long time to do X3 But the upside is that I think it looks really good. This is exactly the feel I wanted for this comic <3
Fren is the second "Funding the Forest" goal to get fully funded. There's a 2nd page that's just gone up on the Subscribestar today, and I'll be starting the 3rd page very soon. The majority of art that I do nowadays is commissions and requests, so I'm really grateful for the sponsors that have been enabling me to work more on fully original pieces like this. If you'd like to see more stuff like this, check out the current funding goals and consider sponsoring a project! Sponsors get credits and early access to in-progress pieces, even before they go up on the Subscribestar! <3
