Blotch is the collaborative name for Teagan Gavet and Tess Garman, who have been working as a team since 2006. Tess Garman paints and has a degree in wildlife and scientific illustration, while Teagan Gavet, who sketches, has experience with character and animation designs.
Together, they make good use of their talent and know-how to create their unique anthropomorphic characters. Their recently published book Nordguard: Across Thin Ice is a perfect example of their art and storytelling skills, and is the first in a trilogy. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself.
