“An interview with a magical twist.” 🌱✨
Here’s the thumbnail I made! We’ll be discussing our artistic journey and some things to know about @scoutscartoon.bsky.social!
Tune in to the episode when it comes out TOMORROW! And thanks again to @postmodartpod.bsky.social for this opportunity. 💖
The new thumbnail for “A Blooming Discovery” shows the trio looking at a glowing pink flower. Carmen is drawing in their sketchbook, and Emilyn is filming with her camcorder as the cub sits on top of her head.

A concept piece showing an early version of the flower. There are two variants: the left one is light blue, and the right one is pink and purple.
A reference sheet of the flower. On the left, there’s a palette consisting of ten colors, three of which are for the lineart. Below it, there’s text that reads “size comp”, showing how small it is. On the right, there’s a top-down view of the flower, along with its seeds.
Four panels from the color script, based on the storyboard: • The first one shows the cub curiously watching as the seeds disperse from the flower. • The second one shows Emilyn carrying the glowing seed in her hands, while Carmen looks out to the horizon. • The third one shows all the creatures curiously peeking from the trees. From left to right: a mushroom, an owlox and its hatchling, a flower folk, and a rock and its baby. • The fourth one shows the kids watching the flower glow and grow on the den behind them.
