I wasn’t sure what to expect, but after a few pages… I found myself pulled into this world, and unable to stop reading. The backgrounds/environments are fantastic – but it’s the characters that have me in awe (their eyes and faces are just so incredibly expressive).

When I first stumbled across a list of group names (also known as collective nouns) on wiktionary, I found the term “an ambush of tigers” so exciting that I just had to draw it. By the time I had done “a clowder of cats,” I knew I was hooked.
