It's nice wen a commission leads to an insight on a story you're writing. I felt that Cat Island needed a strong grown up character, a guide for the younger characters. Otherwise it felt out of balance. I kept drawing a grizzled old male Cat Islander but it didn't feel right. So while doing a commission this character appeared out of nowhere and the problem was suddenly solved. I'd always wanted to have an older female character in a fantasy story. Very happy about accidentally meeting this girl.
And, in the it never rains it pours category, Henry has managed to soak our only phone with a mysterious sticky substance, totally ruining it. So, now we have no Internet or phone. And of course an important business call came through yesterday that didn't manage to reach me. I set up another call but boy it's frustrating being cut off like this. I'm still posting from the library. Which is kind of nice, I love hanging out in the library.
