A beautiful piece from Morgan Gauthier/Redfeatherstar!
They say:
"I love the art of the comic (and character designs! They're incredible!), it's all such an inspiration. I also love the relationship/dynamic Phantomarine has with the ocean and whatnot, to me (being from Atlantic Canada) it's got an unmistakable west coast identity and love for the marine environment just below the surface that make it really stand out to me. The background is somewhat of a 1-1 attempt at recreating a photo I took on Russell Island (British Columbia) back in 2023 when I was working out west for a bit to try and honor that feeling.^u^"
Oh I love this!! Phantomarine's west coast feeling is at its highest in this current chapter - I'm so happy to see a piece playing with the same vibes. Thank you so much!
Please follow Morgan over on YouTube - there should be a speedpaint of this piece up there if you want to watch it~
