A Mini Project I Did Based On A Wedding I Attended In A Dream 😁

😭

Harry Potter.

Another forgotten one from a year ago (2016) deep in the drawings folder.

Developing a possible design. #regulus #character design

Jiro.

As I continue to get to know Jiro over the past few months, I continually discover more and more wonderful things about him and so I’m very excited to finally get to fully share such a wonderful person with everyone. I hope you find him as interesting as I find him wonderful.

Jiro’s story is the story of the supporting character in everyone else’s. 

One of the most defining characteristics of Jiro, and one of the things I admire most about him, is how great of a support he is to those around him. He may seem scatter-brained and out of it most of the time so he doesn’t come across as reliable (in fact he’s probably coming across as the character, the child, who has to be taken cared of). Jiro isn’t an unyielding rock in the face of adversity. Jiro is the kind of person that spend every moment feeling his surroundings, the sunshine, the flowers, the trees, the air, the heat of the kitchen - everything. He has an almost childlike wonder about the beauty of the world around him and because of his curiosity and awe, he is actually very much in tune with everything that flows around him. His reliability comes from how he has learned to bend with the energy around him. 

Jiro’s earnestness, consistent work-ethic, and humble countenance is what opened doors for him as the perfect supportive member everyone would want on their team. He is subtle and sometimes unnoticeable but the presence that elevates everyone in the team. His personality (and lack of ANY male arrogance) is what allows him to be a wonderful life partner to someone as bright as Danielle and the perfect Sous Chef/Creative partner with a visionary Thai Chef I have yet to name. 

I love talking about my characters so ask me anything about them. I’m afraid to put too much here that it would bore people to death but I have various word files dedicated to each character and their relationships with everyone in their lives when I’m working on them so sharing whatever it is anyone is curious about them is fun.

Look at what I found in my drawings folder from a year ago 😁 (2016).

Kind of imagined Hufflepuffs would encourage everyone to try out, even young third years (even if they don’t make the team just yet).

Setanta Mahariel, Hero of Ferelden.

I’ve played as a Male Cousland for around three playthroughs of DA: O, but in light of DA: I reveals, the irony of a Dalish Elf having Mythal Vallaslin is just an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up.

SPOILER ALERT

Imagine the hilarity of a Mahariel Warden-Morrigan reunion after the events of Inquisition, wherein Morrigan drank from the well. So many possible scenarios.

“If anyone were to appreciate this situation, it would be your mother." “I can almost hear your mother laughing. Do the voices agree?" “Considering I tried to kill her, I guess we're pretty crappy servants.” “I tried killing one of my people’s gods... I make a bad elf.” “I should be called old god slayer!" “Talk about a controlling in-law…”

(also, I can’t decide between green or brown eyes. He had green eyes in my playthrough but Kieran has brown)

My take on Eliwood, or as I like to call him— Mr. Handsome.

Part 4/6 - Buttercup and Westley

      Part 1 - The Family | 2 - Style | 3 - The Sicilian Assassins | 5 - The Prince and the Count | 6 - Florin Castle

I wanted to make it very clear that the man in black / Westley is a pirate. So I used loose billowy clothes that also made him feel bigger and intimidating.

Horse is a Jutland horse, native to Denmark (which is what’s in between Sweden and Germany). It’s a draft horse, so good for farming, which is where Buttercup grew up, on a farm. I also wanted Horse and Westley’s design to somewhat mirror each other. Since Buttercup grew up on a farm, I did not want her to look dainty. 

Buttercup’s story is more than just about love, it’s also about freedom. I realised that freedom was the core to her character. Her horse riding, doesn’t care what others think, and wild personality is all about freedom. I wanted her hair to flow with the wind, for her and her hair feel full of life. In the book, Buttercup had red hair. For her to have such a bold hair colour, especially one that in Europe during the medieval period was not considered desirable, felt right. Her hair and her personality is a defiance to the standard of beauty and of how a woman “should” be. That someone as bold as her would be considered the most beautiful woman in the world felt pretty badass. Having red hair (kinda vermillion) also provided opportunity to work with Humperdinck’s more blood red. When wearing her presentation dress as Princess of Hammersmith (despite the title of Princess, it is a title that does not sound dainty), Humperdinck’s red on her dress subdues the boldness of Buttercup’s red hair. Combining this with a restrictive design for her presentation dress and of her hairstyle, her design become reflective of her situation as a prisoner.

But when on her daily ride her dress can flow and her bright, bold, red hair is free.
