The Role of Cats in Slavic Folklore and Mythology – Slavic Saturday


Listen here
As I work on my Slavic fantasy book series, I’ll be talking about Slavic creatures, history, and gods. Next up, cats and the role they play.

(June 2021 Updated) Note: If you enjoy Slavic mythology, check out A Dagger in the Winds, the first book in my Slavic fantasy series called The Frostmarked Chronicles. You can also join my monthly newsletter for updates and free novellas (such as the prequel, The Rider in the Night) set in the world of the series.

More Procreate Exploration

I’m still searching for a brush that gets the same look as my brush pens on watercolor paper, but maybe I don’t need to. Procreate might be a good tool for penciling/concepting and possibly digital painting. More playing around, more testing. But I do like this new shot of my little sage/Quatermass/Van Helsing hero.

Learning Procreate

With a loaner iPad Air I’ve been working on learning the app that so many of my friends are using for their comics and sketching. And it’s pretty neat! It wasn’t obvious to me how I could adapt the process I’ve come to lean on in Clip Studio Paint, but over time (and with the help of my students), I’m starting to figure out how it might work for me.

And I have to admit, the drawing experience on the iPad is pretty great. The 6B pencil in Procreate on the iPad is the next best thing to working with paper.

I see what they hype is about! I just need to practice and experiment a bit more to see where this might fit into my workflow and whether I might be able to include this in my classes.
