Close-up/shoulders-up of the illustration featuring Darius Romuald, a character from The Mythseeker

Closeup! Trivia: some may remember I did a lot of humanized bionicle art/had a cancelled fanfic AU (Chasing Stars) in the works—this design is roughly based from my take of The Shadowed One. It’s always fun to sneak in old character designs I became attached to. :3 #TheMythseeker

Colored mythframes (concepts/visual development). “The Mythseeker” top; "Suedraws" bottom. Inside a church, a man, temporarily maddened and a bloodied appearance, summons a glowing fragment of cosmic magic. In the foreground, another man, blurry and in chromatic aberration, hunches over, head in hands; the bandages on the arm appear to be coming off.

Colored mythframes (concepts/visual development). “The Mythseeker” top; "Suedraws" bottom. A red-haired boy with grey eyes (Shay) wearing a green jacket turns his head to look back. Behind him, a bedsheet ghost (Sheet). The setting is a study, with wooden bookshelves, large windows, and chairs in background.

Black-and-white doodle from The Mythseeker. Bosemal, an angel with one side of her head shaved, grins mischievously. She is saying in French-Cajun, “C’est tout un sucre ~.” (“it’s all sugar[good]") In the background, Bishop (comb-over, scars on face, scruff) stands behind a pouty, unimpressed expression, hands in his coat pockets.

(swiped from scenes from my animatic I had included in the ‘beyond the veil’ video for #TheMythseeker

a digital painting of a female woman (Hazel) in a dark red dress, waist up, slightly reclining. She had vivid tattoos on her arm, green eyes, golden piercings, and long dark hair. The background is a gradient of soft, light blues. Top left text reads “The Mythseeker” / bottom right reads “SueDraws”

practicing painting … Hazel #TheMythseeker

Greyscale mythframe sketch/visual development. Interior study. A disheveled man (Conall) leans on a fireplace mantel, watching Fio (small barefoot girl in a sleeveless dress) from across the room. A high-back chair sits between them, with shelves and a worktable in the background.

Greyscale mythframe sketch/visual development. A small bathroom. A weary man (Bishop) with shaved hair and a scarred body leans against a bathtub, crouched. Some scars on his face appear to be bleeding. He's side-eyeing another figure outside--a stuffed possum toy with a missing button eye peeks through the doorway, held by someone just out of sight (Fio).

Nonlinear fits my story-crafting process. They're scenes flowing through the Outer Current or a Celtic knot slowly weaving—everything connects in time. #TheMythseeker

Ylva stands center screen, braced, through flying debris, hair tied back, fitted armor with pouches at the waist.. Shards and panels streak past on a gray background.

Keep forgetting to share all the greyscale ‘mythframes’ (storyboards) I’ve been hoarding—out of order, rough, and deliciously lacking context. #TheMythseeker

Grayscale mythframe. Top left text: “The Mythseeker” logo. Bottom right: SueDraws. Aiden and Conall walk through a lab. Right, Conall holds a small glowing spiral, looking ahead. Left, Aiden tilts to look down at a jar of eyeballs on a table.

I keep forgetting how many keyframes/visual development (or ‘mythframes,’ as I’ve started calling them) I could share! Oops. #TheMythseeker

Day 9! Caitlin Casey! 🧙‍♀️ #TheMythseeker
(my friend described her as: "channeling the spirits of every lesbian that has ever existed”)

A two-panel comic featuring two characters. In the first panel, the left side depicts Conall, a man with teal eyes that glare at something off-screen. He has golden hair with thick sideburns and is wearing a dark outfit reminiscent of 1800s fashion. On the right side, Bishop is glaring at Conall, whose speech bubble reads, “I was not expecting that.” Bishop looks incredulous. The second panel shows the same drawing, but this time, Conall is looking at Bishop with a raised eyebrow. Bishop now has his hands up, vaguely gesturing, and says, “But I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn’t count.” The artist’s tag is “SueDraws.”

A silly colored chibi-like drawing of Mythseeker characters Bishop and Conall. The left, Bishop appears almost feral as he has his arms slightly raised, being yanked back by his grey scarf. He’ being held tightly by the man on the right. Conall tightly holds the scarf, as if to keep Bishop in place. He has a lot cigarette and stands stiff and straight ahead, appearing unamused. The artist’s tag “SueDraws”

A two-panel, drawing depicts an unexpected moment between two male characters. The top panel shows Bishop, confidently looking ahead, holding a document titled “Redmoon Report - L. Grosvenor.” He is dressed in his signature navy trench coat and white tie ensemble. A speech bubble reads, “That would be your mother!” The bottom panel contrasts with the top one. Conall, looking back at Bishop, appears unamused and clearly confused. One eyebrow is slightly raised. He wears a maroon turtleneck. Conall’s speech bubble reads, “I beg your pardon?” The artist’s tag is “SueDraws.”

A chibi-like, colored sketch. Bishop on the left slightly hunches. He looks conniving, mouth open like he’s chuckling the words above him: “HEH HEH HEH.” Conall stands stiffly on the right, arms behind his back, looking annoyed, saying “You’re a —— Idiot.” The artist’s tag “SueDraws”

my favorite brotp #TheMythseeker

Colored illustration from The Mythseeker series, a flashback. Night seaside scene with hints of waves and stars. Two figures, Holly and Conall, link arms as they stroll along the shore. Holly wears a blue coat, mint scarf blowing in the wind, and white pants with tan boots. Conall has a red scarf, holding a lit cigarette, a dark jacket and pants, a white turtleneck, glancing at Holly with a thoughtful expression.

A close up of the previous illustration.

They're seeing different oceans. #TheMythseeker

Two-panel comic-style drawing on a pale grey background. Top panel: a panicked man (Conall), half dressed, is yelling “WAIT—WAIT—WAIT!” toward another (Aiden) who’s aiming a handgun; his coat flares and his wrapped hand is conjuring magic. Bottom panel: a shocked Atlas in a pink shirt that reads "UP UKE", shouts: “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!” At their side, a small swirling shadow creature (Todd) holds a popcorn bucket (“RIP”).

I refuse to give context on this one, but it's one of my fave unhinged doodles. #TheMythseeker

Colored drawings of character expressions, featuring Hazel Wright in grey panels. Four portraits show Hazel with a light tan, long dark hair (sometimes braided with subtle curls), green eyes, eyebrow and ear piercings with large gauges, and visible floral/geometric tattoos on shoulder, arms, and chest. Expressions: calm smile in collared shirt; amused smirk in tank top; a suspicious, irritated glare; side profile smile, slightly biting at lip. Watermarks: “Suedraws” and “The Mythseeker.”

I haven’t designed her high-fashion outfit yet, but Hazel is absolutely in the lineup. In the meantime, some older expression tests. 💚 #TheMythseeker

Two stacked panels, waist up sketches. Top: Bishop clutches his hair, frantic; text reads, “THE LID, BELIEVE.” Bottom: Believe (clearly messing with Bishop) smirking, coy, long-haired, elf-like, presents a jar with the lid firmly on.

Sketch of Holly and Conall facing each other. Holly (“4'11”) crosses her arms and asks, “Do you have to wear those?” Conall (“5'10 without heels”) stands stoic in a high-collared coat. Gray background.

Meme-like sketch, confetti scene with a big block sign above, “WINNER.” Aiden, in a suit and small topknot, is center with both arms raised, propped up by another; Todd (tentacled eye-creature) floats nearby, unimpressed. Shay peeks from behind. Someone is holding another sign that reads “CHAMPION.”

I love doodling out of context character moments 😂 #TheMythseeker

Fake text message spoof between Mythseeker characters Bishop and Conall. message from: conall Conall: Bishop. I need a favour. Bishop: arent u at paris fashion week Conall: Yes. Bishop: does the favor involve this Conall: Yes.

A closeup of the original art for better detail on Bishop's face and upper body. The shirt cuts off after the "S", but the full shirt would read "do not summon" in uneven font and crossed out.
