#character sketches
Guess who redid their trainer designs?
Really it was easier to just sketch for 36 hours straight than try inking anything while I was exhausted, so have this humble bundle. There’s more I was doing, but they aren’t mine.
ANYWAYS, nearly everyone got to have a slight overhaul with an attempt to keep their trainer class in mind; besides, it was fun to see the difference in style and improvements from the start of SwSh.
Top Row:
Keiko, Kain, Karlos, Kaci, Kati [Kiza], Kazana [Kazzi], Kaylee, and Yako
Second Row:
Key, Kameron, Karli, Karmine, Kave, Kaleb, Katrissa [Kat]
Bottom Row:
Krystopher [Kry], Kalyssa [Kallie], Kara, Kasper
Angelica [Ana], Benjamin [Ben], Anthony [Andy]
- Kry and Key are both originally MD characters [Persian and Delcatty]
- Yako is a Zoroark in disguise because I guess Zoros are fucking illegal these days. He intentionally resembles Karlos.
- Kara is from Shadows of Almia and used to be named ‘Ice’
- Kasper is from Pokken Tournament [I main Chandelure and Darkrai]
- Ana, Ben, and Andy were passed on to me from old friends who no longer play
- Most of them now are themed after a primary pokemon :D
- Yes, everyone directly related to Akages have ‘Ka’ names for the sole purpose of ruining RNG of original cartridges, and yes, it’s getting harder to find new names for any new additions.

Ultimate comfort zone doodles that I made after a study session.. I always find that the more I sketch, the more I want to keep sketching! It’s like a snowball effect.

The 3rd compilation of sketches for my Exalted Art Challenge arrives early for Patreon Patrons! Exploring concepts for the God of Gambling, First Age heroes, and more. Here are some of my favorite picks, with alternates and creative notes at the post.
Find the post here.
PLUS enjoy a bonus sketch of the Plentimon of Dice’s poker face. I had a good giggle imagining what he’d look like while playing a game. His innocuous inky form would make it very hard to read his tells!

Kelsier
Some attempts at the murdering psychopath from The Final Empire. I always had some widely mixed feelings about Kelsier, but then that is what makes him such an interesting character and protagonist.
A mullet was suggested for his hair. I am tempted. Also I am working on making him clearly distinguishable from other main characters in the cosmere - charming blond guys and hawk-faced ones alike.
————————————————————-
[ID: The first image shows Kelsier striding through the mists. He is grinning and wearing his Mistborn cloak, its strips are sown cross-hatching in the chest and shoulder part, the loose ends curling around him. In one hands he holds a string purse and in the a other a bloody, glass dagger.
The second image is various of sketches of Kelsier, mostly of his head and shoulders and sometimes showing his torso, too. He has blond wavy hair, parted in the middle and his wearing all kinds of attires: loose shirts, vests and mistcloak. I was trying to test out various expressions and angles on him. Smiling: friendly, non-chalant, smirking out from under a hat, fatherly, menacing. More serious: facing of Marsh, solemn and lit from below, and as a skaa worker glaring towards the viewer.
The third image is a row the same sketch of Kelsier in a three-quarter profile with different hairstyles: the one he has in the other drawings, a mullet, a regency style short haircut with the hair and sideburns combed forwards, long hair tied to a tail in the nape of his neck with a string, and long, open wavy hair. A small drawing of myself is standing next to these, inspecting them warily.
Below that is another row of heads: Marsh, face similar to Kelsier’s but slightly squarer and with very short hair, Kelsier, Adolin more round faced and with a short, stubby nose, Wit with more pronounced cheekbones and a very narrow face and Kaladin who has a strong curvature both in his cheekbones and his nose.]
Cool down doodles of random character concepts
(They didn’t get along in high school but now are forced to work alongside each other in college. Also green haired dude is totally infatuated with the mysterious street biker while old rival thinks he’s in over his dumb head lol)
