I am primarily an artist and a writer, although often I find myself in a myriad of places in between.
A bunch of concepts and doodles of characters from my current project; starting at the top, it’s two each of Aldebaran, Paige, and then Regulus. I’m still trying to pin down their designs, which is why these all look so different, but I think I’m starting to get pretty close to some of them, though there’s a lot of the cast that I haven’t even started on yet!
A couple of nights ago, I had a dream that I had been captured and my cousin came to rescue me, except in order to get out we had to bundle up in all these layers of coats and sweaters and scarves. The next afternoon, I did this quick doodle of what he looked like as we made our escape, and because it’s been a while since I’ve posted, I thought I’d share it.
Shalla belongs to nailpolish-junkie; she’s a part of the project involving the fey that we’ve been working on together for a while now. I think np-j will agree with me when I say that this isn’t quite what she ought to look like - her face and nose are a bit too round - but the rest is close! I enjoy doodling Shalla because she’s so grumpy all of the time; she definitely feels like she knows best, and nobody else seems to want to listen to her when she’s trying to prove them incorrect. I suppose that’s enough to leave anyone grouchy!
After seeing all of the lovely Amber all over my dashboard for the past few weeks, I’ve finally given in and doodled her myself. I adored her in this outfit from one of bee’s earlier images, and though I don’t think I got the hat quite right I had a lot of fun drawing her! All those freckles!
I finally figured out how to draw this character, which was quite exciting! He’s actually one of my favorite designs because his appearance was so unexpected to me - I don’t often think of bright green hair and goggles when I picture a sun god, but that’s what popped into my head for him. He belongs to another plot that hasn’t received a lot of attention - hopefully I can get to that later in the summer, as well.
This character is from an older plot that I haven’t really developed all that much, though I actually quite like the story. He’s rather tragic, having lost his mother at an early age, and his father commited suicide not long after due to grief. Ei is now the only one left of his line - an extremely powerful family of fey - and his responsibility to his people is one of the few things remaining to tie him to the world of the living. If I end up with some more time later in the summer (the thought is laughable, but I’m hopeful, nonetheless), I’d like to try to flesh out this story a bit more, so you may very well be seeing more of him in the future.
A sort of mini “self-portrait” that happened during one of my doodle sessions a while back, and I was fairly amused by it.
I decided to go ahead and draw a character from each book I read this summer; here’s the first from a few weeks ago: the Lady Door Portico from Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
A quick watercolor for my cousin’s birthday; the character is his creation, and he’s actually very entertaining to work with.
I’ve always wanted to do one of these, and one afternoon in Physics it just sort of happened, so I went ahead and colored it and cut it out! It’s a doodle of one of my friends - she doesn’t really appreciate being manhandled all that much. Sorry the picture’s so blurry - I had to take it with my phone because my camera was acting up.
