THIS princess is going to save herself!

Some of my long term fans might recognize Helena here. You know how princesses in video games always need to be rescued? What if she decided not to wait for some hero to show up and saved herself? Thus the idea Escapist Princess was born!

My classmates really enjoyed this one. One person in my group loved how I gave her two toned hair, and everyone loved how the eye monster was making a spotlight. Remaking Helena’s design was so refreshing. She looks so pretty with that hair and dress!

We’re at the final five, people!

So for these last five drawings, I wanted to go all out. For this one, I went to time on the oil pastels. Cross hatching worked well in that Kentaro picture, so I did it again here. Mainly in Ruby’s clothes.

I’m really happy with this one. My classmates liked how smoky Wolf looked in the first week, so I brought that look back for this piece. I’m getting the hand of drawing grass too.

A change of tone never hurt anybody.

Here’s a concept I’ve had on the back burner for a while. One of my large drawings is related to this one. This here is Juliana, and she’s mourning the death of her lover, Albion. He died under mysterious circumstances, which left Juliana heartbroken.

To make things worse, her father keeps pushing new suitors in her face, desperately trying to force her to marry someone else. Her father never approved of her love with Albion, so this makes her suspicious of him and the suitors presented to her.

As the days go by, the suitors begin dropping dead in freak accidents. This spurs Juliana to begin investigating the strange circumstances surrounding her lover’s death. It’s as if his spirit is just over her shoulder, ensuring no one else takes her from him…

Ah yes, the beach episode, a must have for any cool anime.

It’s been getting warmer and warmer in my neck of the woods. I can feel summer time approaching! I already have a tan just from painting outside! That means it’s almost swimming season, so I figured a beach scene would be appropriate.

I wanted everyone doing something different. Abby is swimming, Minidroid is making a sandcastle, Stella is getting some sun, and Joe is buried in the sand. Don’t worry, he’s got a gun, he’ll be fine.

Someday I will play DnD. Someday.

I have this character idea for DnD called Amaryllis Larkspur. She’s a necromancer bard who can raise the dead with music! I’ve never actually played DnD, but I’ve read a lot of stories from people who do play and it sounds really cool.

This one was a lot of fun to make. I finally figured out how to draw a bunch of grass, and I got to write some funny tombstones! Always happy to make character designs. Amaryllis looks so pretty playing her song!
