    Nice, I saw the sami influences immediately โค I have the same inspiration, mixing viking and sami together. Like the blue hair, it reminds me of Plupp. (a Swedish childrenโ€™s book character)

      @Sara-Nilsson Tack Sara! Yes the blue hair is from Plupp ๐Ÿ˜Š My first attempt at character design - it was fun, although I immediately want to redo all of it. No time tho as Iโ€™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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                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 ๐Ÿ™‚

                  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.

                          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!!

                                  I studied a lot for this one, rewatching the yeti design critic area and watched to class on Svs. Fingers crossed. 0614DD4F-238A-4639-BD47-63686BF82601.jpeg

                                    Hi this is Eira, her name means snow and she lives in a secret valley that's under attack. Her love for and abilities to connect with animals is the reson she's been the chosen one to find help saving the valley from goblins. Off she goes scared and feeling lonely.
                                    Before she began her journey the elders gave her an amulet,

                                    -keep this close to your hart, they said.
                                    And so she did, not knowing why, until she met Badge! a grumpy but kind badger. From this day he followed alongside her on the quest she's been given, finding help to save her secret valley.

                                    (I'm not used to โœ in English, so I hope this story isn't totally off!)

                                    I worked more on this than I usually do, I have the research and story but working on translating it in pictures. Here lies my weakness I think, most of the time I go for pretty rather then expression, trying to change but old habits are hard to fix. Good luck everyone โค

                                        Don't let his size and friendliness fool you, he will go as far as it takes to find help for
                                        his peaceful village. He'll even fight off the goblins himself if he has to!

                                          Here we go again. Another nerve wracking submition. However the process of designing and thinking through things is helping me greatly. I still rather do all my art traditionally. I hope to get better at it. Good luck everybody!
