Fairy tale traveler wip
-
@Katherine that sounds super cute I can picture it my mind but I think my gal likes to travel light maybe I can think of a few more trinkets to hang on her though like a canteen or pot. Give pip a little knapsack lol
-
She's really cute! I think the idea of naive but stouthearted really comes across. I was thinking about her being a tree-dweller and maybe her hair could have actually have leaves growing out of it? Although I guess once you get to the colours and patterns that will echo her native environment anyway. And I love Pip! I've been giggling over his little toot as he sits on her shoulder. Maybe she should be holding her nose?
-
@ruth thank you so much! Yes hopefully sheāll come together more as I move forward. Iāve been playing around with her expression to match his action a little more
the little stinker -
@Asyas_illos Pip so so cute!
-
@miranda-hoover thanks!
-
Ok I made a few small adjustments but I think this is it. Iām going to start on some color schemes and Iāll be back for opinions!

@K-Flagg I just love her at this point! Maybe form a story around her...?

After todayās critique arena I finished up some more sketches I had been doing of juniper and pip. I am beginning to think that my first spread isnāt showing enough ācharacterā they said gesture is so important and since thereās not much gesture you can do with a āneutralā pose I thought maybe I needed more expression. Any thoughts? Which do you like better? A combination of both?
-
The first page of characters has a great variety of facial expressions. It's looking really cute! Maybe there could be one where she's looking directly at us? One thing I notice about all of these poses is that the torso is pretty much a straight line from hips to shoulders. If that's a style choice, then nevermind, but one of the classes (I forget which one) talked about making bean-shaped torsos, with a curved line of the spine. I feel like you could add a whole other layer of expression, mood, & intention by doing some quickie gesture drawings that play with that.
-
@Valerie-Light thank you for the feedback. I know!
I want to play around with gesture a lot more I just donāt want to stray too far from the wholeāneutralā thing maybe I can do a sheet thatās completely detached from the contest and just have fun with her because thatās what I really want to do! -
@Asyas_illos honestly I am taking a lot of liberties with the neutral pose in my Traveler and my Yetis. I don't figure that I'm going to win a contest any time soon, so I'm just trying to make images that feel like good practice for myself and my portfolio.

@Valerie-Light good point
