@AsheIllustrates I'm Madeleine! I'm an illustrator for broad genre; portraits, animals, landscape, whatever. DM me with your project idea and I can provide a quote and all my enthusiasm. My coms are always open. :D
And now for some really important news--today is #InternationalDayoftheSeal! The seals in this painting are crabeater seals. Can you find the orca in this painting? Look closely.
HERE IS ANTARCTICA by Madeleine Dunphy, illustrated by Tom Leonard from HERE IS ANTARCTICA.
"The discovery" + A shocked friend
I like how these turned out. Simlple yet effective to tell the story and just enough to be able to add more to Adeleine and The Company's first encounter in the future.
Hope you enjoyed Episode 2! :]
The character I’m most defensive of is Madeleine, but second is Colby!!
His good intentions and youth don’t outweigh the wrongness of his actions, but I was really startled by how vehemently readers reacted to him blocking Lucy’s number!! #GHliveblog
Originally, Graham was supposed to make banh xeo (a Vietnamese dish to represent how Madeleine is on his side)—but while researching I found that Shokugeki no Soma had done it, and after being told the rose apple tart was also in SnS, I didn’t want to overlap again #GHliveblog
Bc Madeleine was received so poorly in her own arc, I was kind of worried about bringing her back
So I was really happy that people were excited to see her!!
I kind of wanted her to be a heel, but bc of time restraints, we didn’t actually she her much at all...
#GHliveblog
Lucy’s hair length in the Madeleine-Sherry arc is my favorite, so when I realized I had to make it longer in the holiday arc to show the progression of time, I was VERY SAD
I like her semi-bob!!!
#GHliveblog
I should have shown more of Madeleine reciprocating Sherry’s feelings, upon rereading, I think too much of it was just implied! #GHliveblog
In the vein of “support each other, but save themselves”—it was important that Graham resolve his relationship with Madeleine by himself, and that Lucy not do it for him!
Lucy’s support gave him the confidence he needed, but he faces Madeleine with his own strength #GHliveblog
Heath: Ok I’m at Gourmet Hound and Madeleine is across town, there’s NO WAY she can interrupt me trying to befriend Brie
Graham: Heath, telephone—your sister’s in the hospital
#GHliveblog
I think people often forget that Madeleine’s obsession with cooking isn’t ambition
It’s because it’s the only good/worthwhile aspect of herself she sees, and is the only thing she thinks she can offer Sherry
Like, Madeleine HATES herself at this point in the story #GHliveblog
I love getting to show silly moments in Madeleine and Sherry’s relationship!!
It’s all quite heavy for the majority of the arc, but I wanted to get peeks of what it’s like when the conflicts are resolved #GHliveblog
Idk if anyone caught on, but Madeleine, Graham, and Lucy all wanted to watch the same tofu documentary lol
I love tofu, I’d love to write a story about a tofu maker... or is that too in my wheelhouse now, after GH.... #GHliveblog
I think a lot about how this is Madeleine and Lucy’s second and last interaction with each other
People remark on how Lucy helped all the Dimanche chefs she met, but I made the decision that there had to be at least one she didn’t!
For Madeleine, Graham helps her #GHliveblog
Heath trying really hard to rebuild his relationship with Brie and Madeleine constantly getting in the way was my favorite bit in this arc
Someone please help Heath make friends
#GHliveblog
A lot of this arc is to complicate what happened at Dimanche—of course Graham was a victim, but Graham himself does not hold Madeleine solely accountable #GHliveblog
Also, the pants that Madeleine is wearing in this scene is part of a set with the jacket Sherry is wearing when she first shows up!
Sherry stole the jacket before leaving lmao #GHliveblog
I wanted to give the sense that Madeleine is still very resentful that no one else at Dimanche tried to fix anything — and that these two are close enough that Madeleine knows it weighs on Sherry’s mind, even though Sherry wasn’t really involved #GHliveblog
