Cartographer's Notes on the Heart of a House
2020-present

A story about a Cartographer, a Porter, and a House.

~


The protagonists: Porter on the left, Cart on the right. I keep changing my mind on how I want Cart's shawl/overcoat to look, but otherwise these are pretty much the definitive images of them. (Drawn July 2023)


Imagining the protagonists' first meeting! Also a fairly definitive portrait. (Drawn October 2022)


Imagining a tense scene from later in the story - no telling if it'll actually appear in the finished thing! (Drawn July 2023)


Something I drew after watching Stalker (1979). (Drawn November 2023)


Small limited-palette doodle of Cart. (Drawn May 2021)


The first digital art I ever did of these two—this was before I knew much about how I wanted the story to go, but the designs are still fun. (Drawn July 2020)

Porter again. They only wear the striped-tie/striped-socks look once in the story, but it's really fun to draw, so I keep doing it.

Extremely rough sketches. Please ignore the "Madame Web" "redesign" (??)

A whole bunch of sketches.
