Oh my goodness I cannot begin to describe just how adorable Blackbeard is with his purple ribbons in his beard and the flowers in his hair! Seriously my favourite costume!
I actually like this one a lot better than my previous picture, this one captures his likeness a lot better, though I'm still so far off.
It turns out drawing hair textures is so therapeutic, I call it "soothing death" and it's my new term for how much I love drawing hair.
I find the full picture less nice than the crop though. I think the "shrinking" makes his face look not as good.
This series is amazing.
No more yummy lavender soap
I am so bad at the digital stuff still. I mean my pencil work is still not where I want it to be, but the digital drawing from scratch is insane. It just doesn't feel as tactile still. Also, the digital versions suffer the same issue with faces not being right as I do with pencil drawings. Sigh.
But I will continue to practice aaaah.
Did I mention how hard it is to draw frizzy wavy hair? I feel like i have to shake my hand all funny to achieve it XD
The Captain and Her Commander
Captain Odara and her first mate, Commander Peln.
Gosh beards are hard to draw. I also hate this because I don't think I have the heights right; Odara is meant to be shorter and I'm pretty sure Odara's floating with the way I've drawn them here.
But hey it was my first attempt at a bearded character and I gotta say, googling "hipster beard" has an interesting wikihow.
Snowfleur + 16 years
I came to the realisation that the concept of Raining Chaos turns 20 this year. How insane! My characters are so old now, yet I still love them just as much. I've been inspired to see if i can redraw any characters to see how they look with my current style, similar to how I redrew Ruelyn.
It's not perfect but for a late night 1 hour sketch, that's acceptable. Especially when you compare her to a 2006 version:
I'm saddened that I don't appear to have a copy of "Jester Girl" which was an even earlier incarnation, because the contrast there would be huge.
My dear Snowfleur Boldeve, inspired by Fitz and the Fool. My jester, ambassador, and assassin all in one.
