It wasn't enough for me to recreate the knights I already loved, I wanted to add my voice. I started exploring my own historical and cultural traditions and seeing what new lens I could offer this genre I loved. These characters started becoming clearer to me as I researched.
Around this time my art really started blowing up online. I was getting reached out to by agents, by editors. They were asking if I wanted to create a book. Honest answer: No!! That sounds so scary and like so much work!! But I kept thinking about this young girl with a sword…
Together we wove together our visual vocabulary built from manga, our favorite fantasy tropes, and a setting that we both recognized and loved. Our cast grew…and so did our page count! Nadia was not my writer, and I was not her drawing arm. We pulled SQUIRE out from each other.
The SQUIRE kids and their handwriting! It was really fun to think of how these design choices could help reveal more about their personality

my artistic process lately
A quick refresher I did with my art team at @play_multiverse to practice how to understand your references, and use them meaningfully and in a way that keeps the energy in your sketches! our team does weekly foundation sessions together just to keep our brain juices going

Left: it's 2014, I'm a high schooler. I got my signed copy of the Legend of Korra art book when I met one of the co-creators. Told him I became an artist because of the Avatar series. Right: 2021. I get to share that I co-created an official Avatar story for Free Comic Book Day.
One of those days
