MARCH CONTEST: Fairy-Tale Traveler

[rmwonders]

@Tiffany-Thomas This is absolutely amazing! The more I look at it, the more I find such great storytelling details - great work.

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Larue Thank you so much! I went with the evening because I wanted to emphasize the idea of the moon and subtlety show that time is running out since the goblins are meant to raid at the "Harvest Moon". So glad you like it!

@rmwonders Thank you so much, I really wanted to try and incorporate all the elements listed in the prompt so I appreciate the encouragement!!!

Here is my submission! This was a really fun and creative prompt!

@CLCanadyArts I relate to this character a lot. Lovely work!

[emmasleight]

Here is my submission - my first time entering, so excited to be here! My character is based on the indigenous people of Scandinavia - the Sami people (I'm from Sweden - but I've lived abroad since 1994) They are a nomadic people living in harmony with nature and have a close connection to the magic of the forests and mountains of the north.

Nice, I saw the sami influences immediately I have the same inspiration, mixing viking and sami together. Like the blue hair, it reminds me of Plupp. (a Swedish children’s book character)

[emmasleight]

@Sara-Nilsson Tack Sara! Yes the blue hair is from Plupp My first attempt at character design - it was fun, although I immediately want to redo all of it. No time tho as I’m off with the fam on spring break tomorrow - peaked on your Insta and looove your character! So cute and I see the Sami influences. Where in Sweden are you? I was born in Stockholm and grew up in Sigtuna.

@Larue Thank you. I did have a ton of fun with it. At first I was stressing, but then just told myself to draw what I want, and to focus on it being for the folio. If I win, that would just be an added bonus.

@Tiffany-Thomas Tiffany yours is just amazing! I love the goblins in silhouette along the bottom. Beautiful work!

[Sara Nilsson]

@emmasleight oh thanks I'm from piteå, small town in the Northern parts of Sweden

[Tiffany Thomas]

@erinrew thank you so much! I love yours too, great concept!

[alicepelot]

This one was so hard for me! I watched the Designing Unique and Appealing Characters by Anna Daviscourt which was such an excellent course. So much of the character and movement from the sketches was lost, but I still had fun

[alicepelot]

OOO I forgot to mention that Frances is a Scout Faun - always prepared and hoping to save the village... but they have to learn to ask for help.

Here's my entry for this month. Fantasy is not necessarily my thing, so it took me a bit longer to find an idea that I thought would work.

@alicepelot Great texture on the legs.

[Cayleen]

Petal was not the daughter her parents had hoped for. Unlike the other fairy children who played with fluffy bunnies and beautiful butterflies, Petal made...different sorts of friends. When her quiet village is threatened by a horde of goblins, Petal decides to take matters into her own hands. It just so happens that goblins are horrified by the same critters that Petal loves to befriend. She sets out on a quest to find her helpers, and together they return to vanquish the goblin horde!!
