This is Shayan Santarrosa! - - -✄- - - I literally have an entire ream of printer paper from BEFORE THIS BOOK WAS BOUGHT! trying to figure out Shayan’s design. These are from when I finally started nailing it down. I’ve noted some pose influences here, but I also referenced Matsujun & Lee Dongwook~
This is Dani & the Royals! - - -✄- - - The Royals themselves were modeled after the Mad Tea Party & the various influences I scribble down here in these sketches. Meanwhile Dani, Alex’s best friend from another school, is modeled after Alice’s cat Dinah, so she’s a bit skittish but VERY cute
This is Alex! - - -✄- - - My little copycat ♡ Here are some early concepts where I finally nailed down Alex's design & vibe. The original codename for SWEET REVENGE was COPYCAT after Apink CHOBOM's song about mimicking your lover. In these, I'm also exploring the "90s does 60s" aesthetic of the book
shayan santarrosa is a character inspired by many many people, but i would say one of the top notes, without even fully realizing it myself at times, has been matsumoto jun. the way he pouts. the way he tilts his head. the mole under his lip 💜
recently fixed up sergio's old 2009 cybershot & ive been using it to take doll photos. i figured out how to break the manual white balance to get fun colors ♡
i'm going to be at STAPLE! EXPO april 11-12 @ table 44 with @lorian.bsky.social !! please come by, i'd love to see you ♥️
my new comic is now called SWEET REVENGE ♥️ coming out next year! #comics #graphicnovel

thinking about dorcas reilly today as i make my signature dish for my partner's side of the family lol
please read my book Please Be My Star in which a cute boy loses his temper
oh, i guess i should say, doing research on red velvet for Yummy was a bit of comic research heritage for me. Fausto's Specialty (Georgie's favorite cake!!) from balderdash! was supposed to be a kind of red velvet cake with ganache on it, though his was made with the original beet juice
