Happy May Day! Have a slinky Rian, wearing only jewelry and a sheet! Because that’s how she rolls! :D

(This actually did happen in-story once, while talking to Farael, before they were ever *together*. Just because she enjoys flustering certain attractive people. XD )

Well, I didn’t succeed at drawing every day for April Drawing, but can I consider the overall effort successful anyway, if only in that I DID post more than usual during this month? In any event, I did want to do something for the last day, so I revisited Leland during those few centuries when he’s wandering. Because clothing details everywhere. And srsface.

Also (between this and the last Malachi) I appear to be addicted to long dark hair whipping dramatically around man-faces. Yuss.

Heyyyy here’s someone who’s not Claris! Malachi, being bastard-fabulous. It’s been a while buuuut he’s still way too fun for his own good, so here we are. :3

scribbleymark replied to your photo:

I accept the big hair as your apology for lack of big sweater.

U rang? :B I can’t resist the big hair/big sweater duo. Folds and curlssss.

WHY DID TUMBLR DELETE MY COMMENT. Well… sorry about that. Thank you for the inspiration :D It’s not the big sweater, but apparently Victoriana didn’t sate my lust for puffy sleeves, frills, ruffles and big gaudy flowers… so, fancy-80s-dress. Always worth it for the giant hair. :3

Yep, this lady again. X) It occurred to me that I’ve never actually bothered to draw Claris in a late Victorian evening dress before, for which I feel terribly remiss since I do love that era. So, early 1880s, before the bustle starts going away entirely.

I… I think I have an inadvertent theme this week. I’m sorry, I’m just in a Leland/Claris mood. True confessions, I totally love those ’70s boho-hippie dresses and I’ve been wanting to draw Claris in one since forever ago. It all comes back to the dresses with me apparently. >_>

If macaroni and cheese is my always-comfort-food, Claris wearing dresses (often medieval ones) is my always-comfort-draw. I did not have a great day, so even though this is well-trod territory for me, I just really wanted to do it because her face and her hair and her folds always make me happy. :B

Leland & Claris fluff sketch. There’s a teeny bit of that Claris-hair from last night down on the bottom (see the hairpins? XD) because I can’t plan my pages… but on the other hand, it’s not a “finish” and I love that effect that happens when a bunch of drawings on a page sort of overlap one another, so I’m not too upset by that.

Watching Perfume, which is grisly yet gorgeous, and which of course instills within me the need to draw 18th-century dresses. Needless to say, this occasion requires Claris. As much affection as I have for her because of story/development reasons, one of her best aspects to me, as a visual artist, is being an excellent dress and hair model. :3

Fell off the April Drawing bandwagon and frantically trying to claw my way back on. I’m bad at this drawing every day thing.

Brody and the Haruspex being goobers and probably posing for a Polaroid or something. :P They did originally meet in ‘85, hence her Flashdance top. And the Popple. Because she is a fan of all brightly-colored things even if they’re utterly stupid. Even Brody’s hair whoops

Not sure this counts for the first day of April Drawing since I’ve been working on it for a little while and only FINISHED it today… but if I don’t manage to bang out anything else today this might be it. Anyway… a character. Who is new. (Because I don’t have too many of those already amirite guys)

This is Nemo, a girl from (long) after the end of the Lili/Arran story (although in a completely different geographical area to start with, but that gap closes with time), and the protagonist for a future game Alan and I are doing set in that fun post-apocalyptic time and place. It’s a rough world. I doubt her clothes will stay this nice for long. All the stuff around the sides is other design work.
