Kickstarter Sketches
Shaenon: I apologize for being shamefully behind on filling the upper-tier Kickstarter orders for Skin Horse Volume 5. To make up for it, here are some of the sketches I’ve done for backers. I’m getting a lot of requests for Violet!Nick this time around.
Channing: The concept of “Princess Nick” was a relatively late addition to the “My House Is Me” plot, and I’m pretty glad we did it that way, because it seems to be popular. You guys make good requests!
I presume that’s meant to be the drone’s tongue, but it looks a bit like one giant tooth 🙂
That’s what it looked like to me as well. Was wondering when they put a giant beaver tooth in Violet.
The patchwork girl wears a patchwork coat, huh?
I personally love the sketches – you definitely put the characters personality into them.
And I’ve always loved the little sketch of the Silverfish you’ve put on the package near the destination address on the previous KS. Makes it feel personal – like it was an individual doing the shipping – not an assembly line (although I’m sure you have at least a short one of sorted packages for efficiency).

Princess Nick, Princess Nick,
Fans request this art!
Princess Nick, Princess Nick,
Helping us Kickstart!
He looks really cute!
He says, “You’re all sick!”
Princess Nick …
Princess Nick …
Princess Nick!
I love how the moment I saw the drone’s facial expression I immediately went, “Hello, Nick.”
I was thinking that too — appreciating the skill of making the same shape look like it belongs to different people.
Nick surely stands out, even if some viewers think that’s a tooth instead of a tongue.
I love Nick’s facial expression in this one. It just screams “poot”.
