Description
Another drawing of my original charactersAfan
Ya'sameen
Coffee
________________________
Ya'sameen: are you having fun digging through all my books Afan? You said you would keep an eye on Coffee but your just as bad about messing with my things as she is.
Coffee: look at these freaky plants! What will this stuff do to it?
Ya'sameen: get out of that! Afan make her stop.
Afan: just wait for her to get bored with it, that should only take about five minutes. If you make her leave she'll just come back and start snooping around while you're gone.
Ya'sameen: like when she burnt down the tool shed?
Coffee: I said I was sorry already, how long are y'all gonna hold that over my head? Do you use all this stuff for your baby birth'en business or is it just for your magic plants?
Ya'sameen: if you knew what it was for you wouldn't want to mess with it.
Coffee: can you make a homunculus?
Ya'sameen: A what! why would you ask that?
Afan: well can you?

Thanks much, I appreciate it.

Wow the background is so detailed! I especially like the addition of titling many of the books. Each character is very expressive as well, just like capturing a common moment between them.

I'm glad you had fun exploring this. It is a lot of fun making pictures like this that give people a lot to look at and imagine. I borrowed a few of those book titles form the library of Mr. Tumnus in "The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe"

I always appreciate when artists put in the time for that amount of detail, so glad you enjoy it! ^w^
Oh nice! I loved that movie, I really need to read the books at some point because C.S Lewis has some pretty great stuff. I really love all the Biblical parallels in his stories

I would love to see Coffee on SCP games XD
is that a real snake between Afan and Ya'sameen?

I have mentioned before Coffee is the "Containment procedure" for a being that the SCP foundation would call a reality bender, in her world supernatural or as yet unexplained beings are common public knowledge and are usually recruited rather than contained.
That snake thing is part of the plant, it is a species I borrowed from the "Codex Seraphinianus"

I can almost imagine how this lab/greenhouse would smell inside. Why are the organ jars there? I forgot the name of them, but the animal headed jars used for preserving the organs during mummification. If I'm not mistaken.

Oh yes the canopic jars, those are actually just full of tea

Coffee is one of the last people who should be given her own personal evil minion.

Nice! -- It's a crowded image, but you can still feel the space surrounding the figures (I've often noticed that with complex pics like this, the sense of depth is often lost amid all of the detail -- You've preserved it very well here).
So I see a lot of orchids and carnivorous plants -- a special interest of Ya'sameen's?

Orchids and carnivorous plants are some of my favorite to grow so I tend to sneak them in when I can. That book case has some interesting things in it.

I'm always amazed at your details-even in the background!

Coffee seems to be wearing an SCP Foundation shirt. It's amazing how many details you can put into one of these scenes. How big are the sheets you use to draw these pieces?

Coffee and Afan are associated with a group very similar to the SCP foundation. This drawings like almost all my others is actually really small. It's on a 8/11 piece of copy paper.

They all live in apartments above Plum's bakery. They get along as though they are family.

Plum the loving mother, Afan the laid back father, Ya’sameen the thoughtful caring sister of plum, and Coffee, the crazy aunt

She’s an alchemist (the genet)? Like in the Elric Brothers sort of way from Fullmetal Alchemist?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She is a midwife as a profession but uses the plants she grows for that practice as well. She likes to work on her own private experiments to try and find more rational explanations to some of the more extraordinary or magical properties of certain plants. The border between magic and science is very grey in her field of study.

Have you seen/read Fullmetal Alchemist?

Only isolated episodes, I'm really more familiar with the actual alchemy traditions, symbols, and texts. I've actually collected a lot of old books on the subject.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The manga does draw from those traditions (homunculi, using elements, etc). What kinds of books have you collected?

I've got lots of books by Theophrastus Paracelsus, they are interesting but kind of silly. "Natural Law in the Spiritual World" by Henry Drummond, is one of my favorite, he was a big influence of Carl Jung. If you are more interested in botanical alchemy Manfred M. Junius, has some great guide books. If you want to dig deeper into the roots of this sort of topic I have and would recommend the "Zohar","Sefer Yetzirah", and "Sefer HaBahir" are good but get a bit technical and ponderous. Those are a few of my favorite.
