Day 3 in our 10 day countdown to the Woolmancy pre-order Kickstarter, launching on October 16th, 2018! To kick this launch off, I wanted to count down 10 kooky things you didn’t know or realize about Woolmancy.

Fact #3 – There’s no romance!

Woolmancy is about a best-friend break up. It’s right there in the tagline of the book. It’s an exploration of trust, loyalty, hurt and forgiveness. And frankly, why does everyone have to get together in the end? Sure, it tidies things up neatly in some circumstances, but I also think it’s really nice when friends just get to be friends!

Fact #4 – Some animals have human-level communication and cognition

Because of the magical current running under Kanvala, some animals have the ability to live among humans and interact in a way that is understandable to us. No, they don’t speak “human.” That’s just silly!

Fact #5 – Woolmancy started life as a murder mystery

Not only did I draw the opening sequence to Woolmancy three separate times within one year, I went through about 8 full drafts of detailed story synopsis before hitting upon the final script. For at least half of those scripts, Woolmancy was a murder mystery. But don’t worry, no one actually died. Mirin went to get the fleece at the beginning of the story to win a bet, and the effects of it drove her a little crazy. But, from the beginning, her pal Satski dragged her out of the crazy.

It’s still a good story, just muddier than the final draft. I must say though, I do miss that kitchen sequence from the second try at the opening. Mirin’s tea set is the coolest tower thing. Still drawing up plans to make one.

Fact #6 – Woolmancy has a strict color palette

It’s true, though it doesn’t seem like it. When you start with a limited (and this is a pretty wide set of colors, let’s be honest, but any expansions were blended from the base colors) color palette, you can vary the final appearance of them by overlaying one of the other colors in the palette on top in an interesting way.

Some people just choose to stick to the limited palette without mixing and I someday want to try a full project this way, but I still haven’t made the leap!

Fact #7 – GABUZZ! There are several types of lightning in Woolmancy

We encounter a few different glows and lightning patterns in Woolmancy.

Mirin’s final lightning is a pure white, which is granted to her. Quite magical. Then again, it’s Woolmancy, and we’re dealing with weaving magic and lightning sheep. Speaking of the sheep…

The beta rams often have redder lightning, though this isn’t a rule, as you can find the full range from red, through yellow, into white. White is usually found in the alpha rams.

Fact #9 – Hair Down Mirin Didn’t Really Exist

In the final design for Mirin, her hair was always up, until the catalyst that launches her into her quest (aka when her change begins). Of course, silly me decided to change things around and move the chase scene where she loses her hair clip closer to the beginning. Additionally, the chase ends in the rain.

So what was I to do then? I was stuck with a significant amount of time with Mirin in her normal getup, with her hair down. Luckily, I had this sketch. This. One. Sketch. to reference. Thank goodness for exploring around during the design process!

To clarify, there were other sketches from old designs, but none of final Mirin. I was cutting it close!

Fact #10 – Hands

Did you know, Woolmancy contains over 800 hands?! If you want to get better at something, practice drawing 100 of them right? Well, it seems I’ve blown that count out of the water!
