ONLY 2 WEEKS OF MY LAST OBLIGATION-FREE SUMMER LEFT
I’M PANICKING
So here, have this crap sketch, it’s the only thing my brain can eke out at this point
Edit: Oh wait, my whole summer is only 7 weeks total anyway—so I have 28.6% of my summer left! Sweet!
I drew some characters from my first story (of three). From bottom right:
I was going to add the sixth character, a werewolf with abandonment issues, but I think you can see already I have problems drawing creatures, mainly I DON’T KNOW HOW
Hold on a mo, let me fix it…
THERE! Yes, good
Just to cheer up my blog, some archery poses referenced from 13 Assassins, superimposed onto a couple of my characters
“Betrayal hurts. But not as much as this is going to.”
“No, p-please…no, not my EYE!”
This one’s old but whatever- I need to save my blog from falling any further
Forgot to publish!!
I worked on this from about 10AM to 2PM straight on a Tuesday, no breaks, back hunched over desk and soundtrack music playing on my laptop, referring to my old story drafts and a crude map I drew in high school. The flags are for areas still foggy in my mind. I definitely had to do some translation for a few new place names and checking of basic geography (can rainforests be coastal? Do deserts always have to be formed by rain shadow?) but I then decided it’s a fantasy story and it’s ok to have a plain next to an desert. I mean, there’s a floating island…
It’s incomplete but for some reason I am so proud of this thing! Definitely have to give credit to Tolkien and Paolini (even though I’m not a fan of the latter), who are famous writers/artists/fantasy-land-mapmakers! Doing this definitely got me pumped about getting back to my story…and it was also strangely relaxing.
BTW
I am fully aware that this probably qualifies me as one of the weirdest people some people have ever met
I spent yesterday cleaning my room (in preparation for Lunar New Year) and found old doodles, circa 2008-9. I don’t even know what they’re about anymore.
Thinking a lot about my fantasy “novels” lately. The deeper into logistics I get (and the more great books I read), the more overwhelmed I become—but I’m still pushing forward!
Hurritt and Alcyone, another two of my OC’s. They seem a little older here than they are in my stories, though…
Rough sketch of Halia, one of my old OC’s. She first appeared in my drawings when I was about 9. Unfortunately, she happens to be really similar to Rapunzel—locked in a single room all her life, blonde hair, really pretty. But their personalities are extremely different; Halia is soft, solemn, quietly melancholy.
I am so busy with school and extracurriculars, etc, so here’s a couple of recent doodles. Person in the middle—is it a man? Is it a woman? TELL ME, BECAUSE I CAN’T TELL
Older sketches of Brigida, one of my OCs. Outfit loosely based on male 15th century Spanish costume.
I love jewel tone colors. None of these are characters, except for the purple girl. That’s Miran.
