Sketchblog Edition 131: Achievement Unlocked!

IT'S FINALLY DONE.
I completed all 30 character illustrations,
one a day for the month of April's Character A Day Challenge,
without fail!
Here are the final illustrations:

Harriet Cooper from "Plague Doctors" (working title)

a space pirate captain from a yet unnamed story

the so far unnamed character from my story "Godly"

the Feminist pirate captain from a yet unnamed story

the witch and her werepug from "Witch-for-Hire"

Elia from "Witnesses"

Aya (and several other aliases) from "Harbinger"

And here it is...
the final version of the wallpaper,
which will soon be available for free download on my website in four different sizes through the month of May,
if you want it:

It was so much fun and such a wonderful growth experience working on this challenge!
I'm happy I could share all my efforts with you!

During May I will be pretty inactive due to work on finishing my thesis,
so soon after that I promise you there will be plenty of uploads!

In the meantime,
thank you, as always, for reading,
and have a wonderful day!

Love you all!

Sketchblog Edition 128: April Character-A-Day Challenge Part 1

Here are the first three characters in my Character-A-Day Challenge!

The first two I struggled with on the proportions, mainly because I was designing them from scratch while I was drawing them (I had only drawn each of them once before, so it was extremely difficult to get a dynamic and interesting image while designing the character at the same time!), so I hope you'll forgive the wonkiness.

April 1:  Lisa Campbell, from the very first story I ever wrote.
She has the ability to transform into any combination of any number of creatures.

April 2:  Lady Falcon, from the story I wrote in my undergrad days, Randomia.
She is the Queen of the prosperous and peaceful country of Randomia.

April 3:  Tzipporah, who used to be named Tsubasa Minezawa,
from another undergrad story formerly called "Tsubasa No Negai."
She uses the power of something called the Solomon Stone,
which allows her to fight against demons.

That's all for today!
Thanks for reading, and be on the lookout for more sketches in the not-too-distant future!
Love you all, and have a good night!
