Inoculation [Sketch + Line + Colors] (Patreon)

L: I was in the mood to draw some The Crown of Leaves promo art and decided to finish this old sketch I had tucked away!
This piece is a little bit spoiler-y — it features Junyver and Strudel, showcasing their tightly entangled bond, and it gives a big visual hint about what Strudel really is (which, honestly, isn’t much of a secret at this point).
The only thing that hasn’t been openly revealed yet is the depth of their connection — and this artwork leans heavily into that theme.
Here’s the final linework and colors alongside the original rough composition sketch, so you can see the progression!
