FoxGlove's store The Shop! Where the characters from Poison Us often find themselves at. Made by our awesome background designer Cynthia!
Some sketches of Black the cat, the cutest… who loves to lay in the sun and scare people 🥹
What to do in this crazy warm weather? Fry an egg on the sidewalk!
Combine Amity, Diane and Dr. Reagan Ridley (characters who are cynical, perfectionist and intelligent to almost obsession in way that often goes unrecognized) and you will get Cat from Poison Us!
When you are slacking on the job and your boss pops by at the window to write boobz inside a heart...
Watch as FoxGlove's hair gets fluffier as her design is refined!
It's been almost two weeks after the teaser release of "Poison Us" from @fwdiostudios.bsky.social, I finally have the time to show you all the shots I did cleanup. I really had fun working on this, if the teaser looks like this imagine the whole pilot.

It's a cartoon for adults with a main character who is down for the cause but also a menace to society (Song is marc indigo's "boy for the weekend")
This is how all my things look yet guys still hit on me...
What's FoxGloves beef with this sign? Is it as simple as a store rivalry? Or something a little more heated?
The alchemy notebook Cat is often seen with. Elements inspired by Filipino culture, and other details added to enhance the magical feel of the notebook.
Who else is using magic to help your clumsy non-witch friend?

If you like Rainbow Dash, Catra and Blitz (characters that are unapologetically themselves, blunt, loyal and stubborn) then you will love FoxGlove from Poison Us!
A necklace FoxGlove is often found wearing… As a not-so powerful witch, copper and gold are great for magic conduction. Despite all her hate on crystals she has one in her necklace, an obsidian. Some inspirations for the necklace also come from African roots like the Zulu.
(Honestly I almost forgot that today was indie animation day. I don’t have much to show right now, but I do have a short animatic and a pitch bible that’s currently a work in progress)
