Random kitsune lady design. I don’t know what I would ever use this design for, but I figure her name would be Lady Fujitsubou and she would be a dream merchant. She buys and sells dreams, and for an extra fee, will devour your nightmares for you. Be careful of her services however, they may have unintended reality altering consequences. 

Various concept sketches for Vinny’s redesign. I think the one on the bottom is the one I’ll be settling on and improving upon. 

Some more doodles

If I had to describe Vinny in one line, he’s like a hot chocolate on a cold winter night by the fireplace in the form of a werewolf boyfriend 

A while back, I read an interview between Tofugu’s Mami Suzuki and manga writer, Araki Joh. He’s responsible for hits like Bartender. The interview has a wealth of information and inspiration for both writers and artists a like, and I hope you guys also find it as useful as I do.

Redesigning Vinny. One of the hard parts though is making sure the design can translate well into a sprite, so I need to find a good balance.
Also he’s just progressively going to get fluffier and there’s not a thing anyone can do about it.
