All the time in the world

These are characters from Amanda Cook's graphic novel-in-progress, Death & Taxes. Andromalius, goodhearted demon, and Cora, our heroine, here as a little girl. He's been watching out for her all her life.

Amanda realized pretty recently that she's been drawing Andromalius for many years with Benedict Cumberbatch's face, long before she'd ever seen him. That's something pretty special. He looks awfully nice in blue.

I've been stressing out lately over dumb things, getting pretty emotional. I hate that sometimes it takes someone I love hurting for me to step back and see how happy and easy things are for me. When my friends are dealing with hard things, all I want to do is be there and wrap my arms around them. When I'm on the other side of the world, all I can do is draw it out.

Sleep, baby, sleep. Have sweet dreams.
