WIPs: mOnthly grOw illustration (Aug. 2025) (Patreon)

This month's concept comes from That New Shoe Smell, who entered this idea into the July 2025 Color Patreon Art Contest. 14 work-in-progress images of the making of this mOnthly grOw illustration.

Patron requests included: choosing the pose based on my 3D model screen shots. The dialogue was an addition by me.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release, how about Rachel (grOw/cOmic 1, Milk Farm) in the barn's loft (shown in grOw/cOmic 6) posing on the couch (with BA's choice of bust size) while her husband, Bill, sketches her on the easel.*
