The Munchkin Early Designs (Patreon)

More 2003 artwork. I was pretty excited when I found this sketchbook, because this one actually has the original first designs I did of the munchkin! The top image is seriously the first art I ever did of her, and then the bottom page has stuff that looks a lot like what her final design has become. 

You can tell at this point I was heavily influenced by Kousuke Fujishima and Hidenori Matsubara, who worked together on Sakura Taisen/Sakura Wars, which I was OBSESSED with at this time. It super affected my style, though. I still consider them major influences on my current style, but yeah, I've changed over the years.
