I'm really happy with the way this one came out. The creepy mask in the final panel is my interpretation of a Hannya mask which is used in Japanese Noh theater. The Hannya mask represents a jealous demon woman. It's a fairly common motif that shows up in a lot of Asian inspired design and illustration.

Don't be surprised if she shows up again!
PANEL 1
KANE: Alright, one week to design this thing. Going to be tight, but I've got you covered.
ALLY: Oh great!

PANEL 2
KANE: No worries, Ally. I'll make your first project kick ass!
ALLY: Thanks, Kane. I'm feeling better about this already.

PANEL 3
KANE: I'm so fucked...

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
