June did not see me making much pen on paper art, but I was inspired by a vintage map of the world to work on a similarly baroque map of Natasha's world. It is still far from finished, but I have included a recent WIP version of it here for your enjoyment. I also drew Natasha in a frilly two piece beachy outfit twice in a row so I guess that makes it canonical.

I've also watched more anime recently than I have in years, such things as Zenshu (good), Secrets of the Silent Witch (fine) and Witch Hat Atelier (fantastic). Who can say why a story about a passionate but naive young girl taken in by a man harboring suspicious motives might appeal to me? Sure would be weird if she gets caught up in a battle between larger forces for the future of the world. Anyway don't be surprised if I draw her in the near future.

You may also notice a mysterious Gwynne among the art this month, she's from Jean Caden's lovely comic "What we gained in the fire." I haven't been following Ms. Caden for very long but she seems like someone capable of making a whole ass comic and posting it online, which is cool. I really like her art, and I hope I get to see more of Gwynne in the future.
