Inquisitor of the Sun - Commission

Below you can see one of my latest forays into character design. This a Concept of and Inquisitor of the Sun, a sort of priest or cleric that was created by my beloved hubby. He has created an amazingly elaborate world with it's own Gods and Rules and belief systems. He really wanted to get a proper visualization of the Inquisitors of his world and because he just happens to be married to an illustrator that wish was easy for me to fulfill.

I'm not going to say too much about this specific class of character or the other people populating this fantasy world as we are currently writing our first fantasy novel about the world and it's inhabitants. We are also planning to broadcast some RPG Sessions on Google Hangouts which are based in our fantasy world and hopefully it will be fun and interesting.

Until next time,

Meesha the Monk - A pathfinder character portrait

I've been playing a lot of tabletop RPG's with my husband and our friends up north via Google Hangouts lately. We recently started a new campaign where I chose to play a half-elf monk. I have never tried to play a monk before and I'm finding it to be a bit of a challenge mostly because I'm not a person with very monk like personality traits. I'm enjoying the challenge though.

While we've been playing I've been doodling when my character isn't participating in a certain scene, so below is the result of that. It is a character portrait of Meesha the Monk, my OC(original character). I decided to keep the design very simple, since she is a simple monk with few worldly possessions mostly confined to a silent and to her, often boring life in the temple.

I've always drawn my own characters, and I have often done so for my friends in the past. I enjoy giving life to characters.

Why you get a very pretty Ranger of course!

Drink and Draw - episode 1 doodle!

Ok, so if you payed attention to my last post you probably saw the Drink and Draw Hangout video that the members of my Drink and Draw group posted last night. The video featured me and my fellow artistic friends drinking while drawing Children's characters as horror characters.

If you haven't seen it yet then go to my previous post and do so!

If you've already watched it or can't be bothered to watch it you can see the drawings I made during the session in this post. Below you can see my supercute and slightly disturbing take on a My little pony/Cthulhu character - it's "My Little Cthulhu!" (cheers)

So this is the original sketch I made last night:

And this is the finished drawing that I colored in today!

I had so much fun making the Drink and Draw video, and hopefully we'll be able to make another one soon! I hope you guys have enjoyed the process and getting to know Drink and Draw - the Norwegian division!

If you want to see what Inna made she has also posted it to her Doodle Pod blog so head on over there and check out her adorable, but scary Pikachu drawing!
