Willow Academy Page 36 It's customary for new initiates to be greeted by Willow Academy's reining Arch-Sorcerer, alongside the school's professors. #webcomic #furry #anthroart #comic #furryar

I went through so many revisions on the Tower in Page 35 it isn't even funny. #webcomic #furry #anthro #anthroart #comic #behindTheScenes

Willow Academy Page 35. We're Here! #webcomic #furryart #furry #anthroart #anthro #comic

As the resident Wizard in the Skull and Shackles Campaign I'm playing in, this sketch gets a lot of mileage. #PathfinderRPG #PF2e #TTRPG #furry

Willow Academy Page 34. Treetouched Sorcerers are sometimes gifted with immense amounts of magical power, but they can have trouble controlling it starting out. Einar has a really bad case of this. Even his fur is cold to the touch! #webcomic #comic #furry #furryart

Page 23 was one of the new pages added for chapter 1's revisions. It went through several iterations before I settled on composition 1. #webcomic #furry #comic #furryart

Willow Academy Page 33. Clarisse is here! Also the Academy's carriages are quite speedy, especially when imbued with wind magic. #webcomic #comic #furryart #furry #anthroart

Willow Academy Page 32. Gotta love enigmatic parting words. #webcomic #comic #furry #furryart

Old Anatomy exercise of the Willow Cast. There were definitely some design tweaks later on but it was a good exercise in avoiding same-face syndrome. #OC #furry #furryart

Willow Academy Page 31. When you get an uninvited guest to your farewell party. #webcomic #furry #furryart #comic #anthroart #fantasy

Yeah there's a reason I don't post on Twitter anymore. I saw this coming ever since they really started to phase in the AI shit.

The Sigil of calling and Sigil of Awakening. Both are part of the Sigil System of magic used in Willow Academy. For the sigil of Awakening I aimed for a more organic look to reflect the more wild power of the Spirit Pine. #fantasyart #comic #conceptart #fxart #magic

Willow Academy Page 30. This was the last page I used Photoshop for. The rest are done with krita. #furry #webcomic #comic #anthroart

It's going to be a Light work week so that means Commissions are open again! Four slots are open. DM me if you want one!

Willow Academy actually had a different beginning where Einar's Mom told him the fall of Eicedon as a bedtime story. Then there would be a time skip. This was changed in the final version of chapter 1 to get rid of the time skip for a better flow. #webcomic #furry #furryart #comic #anthroart

They're Still on Sale for all who are interested. #adopts #adoptable #furry

Willow Academy Page 29 Moving is difficult, doubly so when you have to leave your family behind. #furryart #webcomic #comic #fantasy #anthroart #furry

Willow Academy Page 28. Don't you just love a good map? #webcomic #furry #fantasyart #comic

Early sketches of Clarisse. #OC #furry #furryart

Early Development sketches of Einar.

Character Concept art for Willow Academy chapter 1. #oc #furry #furryart

Willow Academy Page 27. As if a sorcerer could awaken like that without anyone noticing. Thus ends Chapter 1. Which ran from March to October of 2023. Chapter 2 is currently underway on DA, FA, Tumblr, and soon here. Early pages are on my Patreon. #webcomic #furryart #furry #anthroart #comic

Gonna start posting some more concept art for Willow Academy now that I'm almost done reposting the first chapter here. The trees were among the first things to be drawn. #fantasyart #fantasy #webcomic

Willow Academy Page 26 Yes there is a difference between what the Hermit is and actual sorcerers. #webcomic #furry #fantasy #anthroart #comic

Willow Academy Page 25. Elma isn't one to let her son's big day go interrupted. #webcomic #furry #comic #furryart #anthroart #oc

Post a character you like and tag others to do the same. I certainly liked FFXV Noctis, but there was something special about Versus XIII's Noctis that rewired my brain. @shadowofthecircus.bsky.social @lumiastargazer.bsky.social @scarfinstein.bsky.social @dizvoices.bsky.social

Old fursona concepts from late 2022. Redesigning him has taken a while, but one day I'll settle on a design.

I don't think I'd be half the Artist I am today without comics. #comicsdna.

Willow Academy Page 24 He really had no Idea a Spirit tree was there. The Hermit wouldn't even let him get close to the top of that hill. #webcomic #furryart #anthroart #fantasy #fantasyart #comic

Got some Adopts from last year on sale! Comment if you want to bid. DM if you want any additions. #adoptable #furry #fantasy #anthroart #furryart

Willow Academy Page 23. Awakening. #anthroart #furryart #webcomic #comic #furry

I'm a bit better about avoiding same face, but I do feel like I'm falling into a few facial archetypes here and there.

Willow Academy Page 22. Big dreams and big desires. A seeker, through and through. This was a late addition to chapter 1 and probably my favorite page in it. #webcomic #anthroart #furryart #comic

Willow Academy Page 21 When You've heard this question a hundred times. #webcomic #comic #furryart #anthroart

W.A. Page 20 I got to use more of the language I came up with the help of my friend @keybladespirit.bsky.social. Most spirit trees of a certain age empower a guardian to help protect themselves. They grant them the ability to channel the tree's power directly in return for protecting them.

The cast of Willow Academy went through a bunch of design revisions. I generally settled on their overall looks around late 2021 and it's basically been small tweaks and general drawing changes these days. Only did this for Clarisse, might also do this for the others.

Willow Academy Page 19. Hidden from the world by its own magics. The Spirit Pine seldom reveals itself to others, only a handful know it even exists. #webcomic #furryart #comic #furry #anthroart

Willow Academy Page 18. The end of the beginning is fast approaching. #furryart #webcomic #anthroart #comic #furry

4 Slots are still open!

Willow Academy Page 17. It's a good thing the snow up north is thick. #webcomic #furryart #anthroart #comic #furry
