Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the backgro...

Look! I finally made art for the cover! It's literally just Jude's face and not some deep crap. I first did a more detailed manga-style one and then tried a simple version, and actually liked the simple one more... And see? I even used my old watercolor cover as the background. Fun fact, the title is a custom font that I made from my handwriting. Everything on this cover was made by me (except the stickers, obviously) so please don't reuse anything without permission.
Do you want to see more illustrations? If so, what scenes/characters/stuff do you want to see?
One more random thing. Jude's eyes are brown, and his skin is supposed to be more tan... gotta fix that, I'm just bad at making skin tones that don't look too grey or too orange. Bleh. I'll practice some more.

Character Color Palettes
I keep trying out different drawing styles for these illustrations. I tend to make my artwork detailed, so simplifying can be tricky for me. Like... Instead of painting a million hairs with shadows and highlights, I have to figure out how to make the shapes much simpler.

I made a Ross doodle and facts sheet around 2 am. Some of the stuff I haven't thought much about (like how tall he is LOL), so let me know if you have any questions about the characters and their interests!
