smiling Ben standing below the edge of a Metro platform, saying "You can come with me."

I started messing with this and it turned into a lighting test for this scene.

The first time I drew this panel… was NINE YEARS AGO. D:

A worse version of the previous image.

I did not even try to draw his hair back then. Very little character design either. I was struggling hard enough just to make his face look like a face.

Banner Art Update

Black Magic banner with shadowy creatures, main characters, and dragons.

I think I opened this file a few days ago intending to fix Lex’s arm. From there things got out of hand, as they do. Painting on the cintiq is so easy it makes me feel like an anime character who just revealed I was fighting with weights on my arms until now. Ben is as tall as Ella because he’s standing on a box.

Have some bonus Me Posing As Lex.

Of course this also means I’ll have to fix the cover art I last updated in 2023. 😮‍💨
