The second character on my OCtober list is Atarya, also one of the older characters I have. She was created much later than Scout, some time around 2006 when I began to really want to learn how to draw lions and big cats in general. . Atarya is the ghostly spirit of a long departed princess, unable to pass on due to her bond to a God she fell in love with. Before her death she gave birth to a daughter, a demi-god and the future Goddess of the Moon. Unfortunately, the God whom she loved did not have time to bestow her with the gift of immortality, and He arrived too late to save her from her fate. She now roams the land, unseen by all but the most perceptive, sometimes appearing as a spirit that guides those that are lost back home. .

I thought I’d try another October challenge this year and tempt my artistic muses into actually finishing it by only drawing my characters. As it happens, I have so many of them that I could fill several months with daily character drawings, I chose to focus on my 31 favourite felines from my Tales Through the Time universe. . We begin this challenge with Scout, the oldest character I remember creating an astonishing 21 years ago. Scout is a title she begun to use as her name after deserting her pride over a disagreement of a task she was given. She now travels alone, and prefers the solitary life to what she had before. .
