When you finally get to meet someone you’ve only ever read about.

More characters! This is Sky, my Tengu. He’s definitely causing problems on purpose.

I really like sky because he’s both very up front and direct, but he has a lot of secrets he’s not about to reveal.

He’s fun to write because he likes to play around and be ambiguous, but at the end of the day he has a deep loyalty to his family and his duties.

Another character! Peach!

Peach is arguably the fan favourite of Folk Remedy and is the most chaotic creature. I love her very much, she some of the most fun to write and draw because of her unhinged energy.

Important Peach facts:
- Is a Tanuki
- Is a lesbian
- Is a thief/criminal
- Is either drunk or aiming to get drunk
- Claims to have a very hot fiancé, you just haven’t met her yet
- Is after your girl

Time for more characters!

This is Ember, a yokai Maple releases from a seal after 300-ish years of being trapped in a lantern.

Ember is a huge flirt and honestly a bit mean. They come across as very self-interested without caring too much about those around them.

Their true motives remain murky from Maple. As they spend time together, Maple realises there’s more to this yokai than just their flashy surface.

I’ve been taking it slow with comic work through most of November, but I’m feeling the spark return, so I’m looking forward to making some good progress on my Folk Remedy sample!

I’ve re-shaped it quite a lot since it was last on submission. It has a revamped and streamlined plot, a new approach to colour and refined character designs.

Some panels for Folk Remedy that I’ve enjoyed while working on this new sample.
