Hello everyone.

Not really sure if there’s anyone out there actually still reading, but I’m back with some more MitM pages, believe it or not! xD

Today’s date, May 23, 2023, marks the official 10 year anniversary of when I posted my first, finalized page online.

I originally started brainstorming, writing, and coming up with concept sketches way back in 2012 and eventually produced 5 pages in early 2013, that were later reworked into a 4 page spread that I would submit as a project for one of my art classes in college. After the class was finished in May, I posted them online and that’s when it feels like it really started ^^

As of recent, MitM’s been pretty silent (honestly since 2019), but it’s something I still regularly think about and random doodles of the characters populate my numerous sketchbooks all the time.

Remember how I mentioned I was testing the waters with a new inking style? (no? oh…well I suppose that was like 6 months ago…) Anyways, I’m leaning in the direction of something more akin to crosshatching. I like the boldness of the pen brush I used in the past, but there were several occasions that I felt it “muddied” the picture or would obscure too much detail. Want to at least try this approach for a few more pages before I make any hard decisions though…

Originally, I had considered having healing magic look fairly straightforward (and boring!), but I wanted to shake things up and choose something a bit more abstract/surreal. Sure, maybe it doesn’t make a ton of sense, but I felt that was more interesting than just “touch, glow, now you’re healed! it’s a miracle!” 😛

Hope y’all are well, and hopefully it’ll be much, much, much sooner than 6 months before another MitM page comes along xD
