I am curious. You stated you’ve been working on The Hue’s premise since 1998 I think the date was? How much has it changed since it was first thought up? Why did you decide to work on Garanos before The Hues?
That’s correct. The Hues will turn 15 years old on August 27th.
It’s changed pretty dramatically more than a few times since its inception. In the very beginning, it was essentially a Sailor Moon fanfic, then for awhile it was a pretty conventional magical girl series, and now it’s a love letter to the genre. I’ve described this iteration of The Hues as a collaboration with my 12-year-old self, which is pretty accurate.
Garanos presented itself in my head during a time when I had convinced myself that The Hues would never get made, so that’s why I made it first. TH had been my baby for a decade at that point and I had really kind of lost objectivity about it. It just wasn’t ready back then, and I wasn’t ready to change things up in order to make it something more special.

Spontaneous sketch card of the day. More brush practice. The strokes in her hair got a little dry, but they don’t look too bad. :)

Two sketch cards done during the stream.
Sami was inked during the stream, but I did the coloring off-camera. Honestly, I used a brush on just a whim, and it’s way more effort than I would usually put into a sketch card commission unless I charged extra, so don’t anyone get any big ideas. ;)
Usually I just use a micron to ink these, as I did with Andy. I would have liked to do more with spot blacks in shading her jacket, but I’m a little gunshy with traditional inking.

Some sketches with pencil and a brown brush pen.

Working on a character bible for The Hues. Here’s Sami and Andy’s reference sheets in progress. I got Sami’s finished earlier, but I’m hanging on to the finished one for now. ;)
