"Well, Reesina, I'm glad to see that you're so immersed in this map! If you want, you could point out a province, and I could tell you a bit about it. I'd especially love to tell you about Ontario! That's where part of my family comes from, you know!"
Don't worry. Just because I've got new hyperfixations, doesn't mean I forgot about The Henry Stickmin Collection. Yep, I'm still keeping that interest going after over 3 years (which I still can't believe), which goes to show that, for some people, hyperfixations do last a long time. Anyway, not only am I returning to my hyperfixation, but I'm also adding on to an old plot point in a comic I was planning on making last year. You can actually find the prequel to the sketch in this art book (it should be under the chapter for Inktober 2022's 13th prompt, "Kind")
Anyways, this sketch for Prompt 5, Map, is related to an unfinished THSC AU that I did a while back where, rather than being adopted into the Toppat Clan, Reesina was simply a latchkey kid that grew up in a small town where, at around 5 years old, she met Dave Panpa, a young security guard at the nearby museum who would often take care of her when her parents were busy. Here, while talking about his Canadian heritage, Dave decided to show Reesina a map of Canada. Needless to say, the exact moment he saw her expression as she looked over every province and territory, he could already see her older self loving them just as much as she did when she was younger.
Enjoy! 😊♥️
