          This is my first of three character sheets for Inktober. I have not posted it to critique arena yet, because I want to decide which to submit once I finish the other two. These characters are from a middle grade novel I am currently working on. I decided to draw them for Inktober because I need to flesh them out a bit.

              @jenithornhill Cute design! I especially love the running pose, the stripy pants so suit him. I believe we can submit more then 1 entry for the contest, can't wait to see the other 2 of yours.

                @aurelia Oh it would be great if I can enter more than one. I am afraid I won't be able to choose! Thank you!

                      @LauraA the image doesn't have to be square, it just needs to be sized to fit in the template, if that makes any senseπŸ˜„ As for the background info, a sentence or two is great! Just enough to get a feel for the characterπŸ‘

                            Took the time to flesh out a character I came up with a while back. I inked this traditionally in one shot so I wouldn't worry about overthinking the challenge. Had a lot of fun with this one! SaigoCharacterDesign.jpg

                                      I keep putting this off until I run out of time but I actually got it finished this month! As always, I am excited to see what you guys come up with. πŸ™‚

                                        Here is my second Frost Pirate character sheet. This guy has a pet penguin who I love. I have to say, working out these illustrations has really been helping me flesh out the characters for writing the book. I think I may continue doing this for character in future novels!FB_IMG_1632620755146.jpg
