Alright. So. Inspired by the many fantastic artists on this site, I've decided to try drawing a few of my characters.
Now, I am pretty technologically clueless, so all of these will be pics from my real, physical sketchbook. Hope that's not too old-fashioned for people :3
Anyhoo, here's my first crack at this- my characters Midnight and Starbright (who will never actually look like they do in this image, it's more of a conceptualized thing).
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/412d08c7-855f-47d3-aefb-3dd0f423b59a_zpsfjmw2fq7.jpg)
Aaaand, here's Nani!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender_zps4oxb4od1.jpg)
Last one for today: Isabeau, captain of the Poison Storm
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/09754afd-28f5-440a-922b-bbdeed2ec1ae_zpsgawwqqlb.jpg)
Wow!
I like Isabeau's hair, and I LOVE Nani! She's so beautiful!
And I do all my drawing on just regular paper too!
Aww, thanks so much, JackieCat!!
Alright, I'm bored and putting off work, so here's two more profile pics, one of an older character, River:
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5006_zpsc8jnen8c.jpg)
And one of the newer Belladonna (very unicorn, much sparkle)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender%201_zpsxqti069m.jpg)
Alright!
...
This one is interesting. Ahem. I apologize for the color job, I'm working with some old colored pencils.
Anyhoo, here's Starbright and
@DaGlobster 's character Vel!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/930a6c65-bcd2-49c9-ad19-8724551ada38_zpsnwrt5zls.jpg)
This probably started out as him teaching her something and then she got distracted by...whatever's in that book...
New art!
Because who wants to do finals!
Ahem. Anyway. This is Yvaine and
@Lion 's character Maxxen. I'm not gonna tag this because I feel like everything important is covered, but yeah. Suggestive content. Fair warning.
Also, I am bad at drawing people shirtless. Muscles are hard, guys...
'Kay, enough stalling. Viola.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5018_zpsiaapybhx.jpg)
This! 8D
It's wonderful!
Oh yay, I'm glad you like it!! ^.^
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5020_zpswobczwhn.jpg)
Okay, here's Hana and Ronin- a character belonging to
@Heretic King - and the little one I am currently referring to as PB (Potential Baby).
Like I said in the pm, it looks amazing.
So do your other drawings, ofcourse ^^
D'aww, thanks HK, I'm really glad you like it :3
Yet another profile pic, but I thought I'd through this up because I actually quite like how it turned out ^.^
That, and Kiara was my first character, so I feel like she needs a little extra love on occasion, haha.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/83dae9b9-9d42-4323-8ef9-2046ecc4b1e2_zpskwore1cu.jpg)
She actually has a bit more red in her hair, but the lighting when I took the pic doesn't really show it -.-
omg, I love these- all of these! :D
I just wish I could have commented sooner D:
but yessss <3
can't wait to see more of 'em :D
and it makes me wanna draw more thiiiiiings
Oh, I'm so glad you like them!!
And yes! You should draw things! All the things!! :D
Alright, another quick profile pic, which I'm really only posting because it's been sitting around in my sketchbook and I finally got around to coloring it.
Anyhoo, I present- Jynx!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender%204_zpsdcveyp2p.jpg)
(I messed up her bodice so I tried to cut it out of the frame :3)
D'awww, it's Jessica!
Hahaha, it is indeed!
Though she probably wouldn't be too pleased with being called that ;P
Whew!
So, after what feels like a lifetime of packing and unpacking, I finally had a few minutes to sit and add some color to a sketch. So here it is, my character Brenna and
@Juno 's Christopher in cat form.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/8bad7a1a-4586-4565-9860-ef977b91516b_zpshqij1ho8.jpg)
I'm not sure what they're looking at, but they seem kinda suspicious about it...
D'aww I love it! So adorable! :3 They definitely look up to no good, haha.
Haha, well yay, I'm glad you like it! ^.^
Okay, once again I am putting off work with sketches and whatnot, so here's Tessa and Toby (who belongs to the fabulous
@Moonie )
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5038_zps2iteymwt.jpg)
I'm very sorry if everything is very wrong, I know I personally have some issues with color choices (I wasn't quite sure how to shade Toby's hair, and I can't seem to get Tessa's skin tone quite right.)
But anyhoo, there it is!
Okay, I can't express enough how much I absolutely love all your pictures! The character's poses all seem so natural, especially the two above! I love Tessa's hair and dress, but then again, the hair in all your pics is awesome! (I'm pretty bad at hair myself! :P ;))
Oh, thank you so much!! ^.^ I actually like drawing hair, so I've had a lot of practice, haha.
Alright, so apparently I'm in a couple-y mood: once again, here's Brenna and Chris (but in human form this time).
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5040_zps8b6xcybx.jpg)
It's sorta rough, I may update it later, but for now here it is!
*Updated!
@Juno
Aww that looks so good!! : D I agree on the awesome hair :3 so gorgeous
Well thank you!! Very glad you like it ;D
Lookit all this art!
Youre really good! I cant wait to see more!
Oh, thank you so much!! ^.^
@Juno Okay, apparently I'm still feeling couple-y, so here's Penny and Mal! (I'm sorry if things are wrong, I couldn't quite get the right shade for her hair >.<)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender%206_zpsbhhycqw7.jpg)
D'awww! I loves them! And it's alright, that color looks great on her too! :3 So beautiful <3
Well thank you!! <3
I promise, next time I do a sketch with Penny in it, I'll make sure I have a seafoam green pencil >.<
[My old art makes me sad sometimes lol :P]
For
@Lion Severus and River- I'm still not sure how I feel about the scars, but oh well, here it is!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5046_zpsyex5jhyh.jpg)
'Kay, probably the last one for the day, another
@Lion character: Ghost and Veles.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/1f253fb6-dd7c-4846-a447-5e0a0e279972_zpsws7fdvoj.jpg)
Ghost seems to have a sort of maternal urge around Veles and I tried to show that, but I guess it looks more like another couple haha. Oh well.
These are so awesome Dragon!
Oh I'm so glad you like them!! ^.^ <3
Alright, here's another "family portrait" of Hana, Ronin, and PB. Because apparently I can't help myself :3
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5048_zps80n6npuw.jpg)

Heh. Peanut Butter.
But amazing work as always ^^
Yes.
That's what they should call the baby.
Peanut Butter.
I like it xD

Please no. xD
Hey, I did another thing!
Here's Lyra and Sapphire (who is not as creepy as I'm really only now realizing I made him look, I swear). I did my best with the colors I had available, but I think it still leaves something to be desired :/ Sorry, Drac!
Oh well, here it is:
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5067_zpswxb23udm.jpg)
@Draconian
Hes beautiful!
: D lookit how happy they are together.
They are pretty adorable ^.^
We just need to get Lyra to be not so uptight haha
Baby Bella!!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5068_zps34jbmgd0.jpg)
A young Belladonna (still with her grayish baby coat) shown next to the plant she's named for.
I realize my handwriting is atrocious, so here's a translation: Atropa belladonna, more commonly know as belladonna or deadly nightshade, has a long history of use as a medicine, cosmetic, and a poison...
Awwwwwww what a cutie!! <3

A very very very much WIP, a rough sketch of Misha and Manikarnika
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5075_zpsh0nsc2bj.jpg)
Tried to give Nika a calculating look, but she wound up sorta doe-eyed :/
Not sure how that happened, but I'm gonna try to fix it, Drac!
@Draconian
OMG
8D
I love it.
<3 <3 <3
Doe eyed works for me.
Haha, alright then, I'll leave it :3
(Retroactively withdrawn because of My Stuff, sorry y'all!)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5078_zpsecparyyb.jpg)
Ilona, the cursed princess of Fell!
Yes those two are like rabbits! But omgerd, I love the drawing :D <3 you've got skills!
Also Ilona... I feel bad for her just cuz... Ehvren. :|
Oh, thank you!! *blushing*
And haha, once Ilona is less disoriented, I'm sure she'll be able to hold her own. Probably. Hopefully 0.0
Yet another profile-y pic! Aishling, my half-selkie gal
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5083_zpssfi1hdcu.jpg)
@Draconian Here's Manikarnika and Mikhail, all fully colored! ^.^
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5084_zpsz4ls9lz8.jpg)
Eeeee. Its awesome <3 <3 <3
So glad you like!
Here's Ka'lei- mostly how I would picture her in the beginning of the thread I've got going with
@Rhi-Rhi (http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/5e721d64-4018-4f31-8332-4520f7fb5735_zpsrsfinfe3.jpg)
Yet another basic profile pic- this one of Ally, in both human and dragon form.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/3ecbdc2f-178b-490c-a126-d19c8a08867a_zpszmzoptom.jpg)
No wonder Valor's so hot and heavy for his pretend waifu! >8D
Hahaha, I'm gonna say Ka'lei is totally prepared to work that angle *mwahahaha*
[Retroactively withdrawn]
(Retroactively withdrawn because of My Stuff, sorry y'all!)
your drawing are really good! I can't wait to see more ^_^
Did another one!
This one of Aura-lee and Hydra- because I'm at the beach and feeling ocean-y, and also I can't handle the cuteness of these two. Especially Hydra awkwardly trying to deal with emotions :3
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5104_zpsk6avmsqj.jpg)
@Draconian sorry if things are very wrong, not sure I had the right hues of green and purple and stuff. (Also...so many arms 0.0)
Awwwwwwww
I love it. <3
You did a great job with Hydra! Hes one of my more odd looking characters and he does indeed have a fair number lf arms.
<3 <3 <3 its awesome sauce, yo.
He has extra limbs for extra hugs.
Haha, yes. Many hugs. ^.^
And I'm so glad you like it, Drac!!
What program do you use to put the artwork on a url? I might do something like this!
Just Photobucket :)
Wow, feels like FOREVER since I've gotten the chance to draw.
Anyhoo, here are two of my gals!
Serena, my eccentric little witchy half-demon:
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5134_zpsxp0hzdpp.jpg)
And Gwen, known here as "Lady in Red"...for obvious reasons (sorry about the poor lighting when I took the pic- she's actually laying in a pool of blood, not a red carpet o.0)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5135_zpslvk3gtr2.jpg)
Aria Rose!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5136_zpsbuakf9fy.jpg)
Or Loke, if you wanna use her birth name ^.^ (I swear she's tanner than that, again I blame lighting- and my inability to color contrast >.>)
((Removed for Silly Brain Reasons, sorry for the inconvenience!!))
Quick WIP for my newest characters, foster sibling Ka and Bree ^.^
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/df5f272e-8c17-4d21-a67a-53686d4d9a91_zpsywtqprgw.jpg)
Look at the awkward gangly babies!
A little bit different from my usual style, I guess, but I dunno, it seems appropriate haha.
Colored the awkward gangly babies! (Please excuse the background, I jut didn't want to leave them on blank paper >.<)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/47a30b5a-ff9d-4016-bd51-4b597f7921c8_zpsp5q0mtzh.jpg)
Also, here's a pic of a more grown up Bree, just for kicks. BE WARNED: Boobs ahead.
Spoiler

And last but not least, Lyssa! Who...isn't supposed to look like Sexy Teacher, but somehow that's sorta what happened. *sigh*
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5151_zps5ogwqhuw.jpg)
I am on a drawing kick, so have some more sketches! (Or don't, whichever you prefer ;P)
Preliminary drawings of YET ANOTHER new character I'm working on (I know, I know, I have a problem, shhh...)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5157_zpsccubx2db.jpg)
She's a dragon!! But sometimes not!
(Beware of topless lady, if that bothers you)
Spoiler
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5158_zpsrbjmr4ie.jpg)
So, yet another dragon character, but this one's Yoreiqi! I'm thinkin' she's gonna be all sorts of colorful... If I ever get around to actually giving her color -.-
Wow! I love the dragon form! I love all the details and feathery stuff!
Thank you!! ^.^
I actually cannot take full credit though, the style is based off the fabulous artist neondragon (http://neondragon.deviantart.com/)- I bought one of her art books as a kid and it's basically a step-by-step for drawing dragons.
(totally forgot to put the disclaimer up on the first post, oops o.0)
Alright, colored versions!
This here is Melly, whose profile will be up shortly!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/c7ad6783-e5c1-4b59-b4f8-8a4d40c10ca4_zpsidd9zkh7.jpg)

I suck at shading, but in her dragon form she's actually lighter blue towards her head and darker towards her tail and paws >.>
Last one for today (promise haha); Toby and Tessa again.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/3fdbcdb6-7e26-4af5-a79d-82a5b5faabb2_zpsybb8m7bt.jpg)
I FINALLY got her F***ING skin tone right. (GAHHHH!)
Ahem. Anyway, here they are, bein' all cute. Figured I did a pic of them with Tessa all dressed up so now she's...less dressed 0.0
@Moonie
I thought I recognized the style! I love neondragon's art. XD
Sooooo, I forgot to add a thing to Melly's profile, and as I was just looking at her sketch I realized this. (Oops)
Anyhoo, that red stone on her forehead stays with her in her human form- here's the fixed close-up!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender_zpsfd4s7vbl.jpg)
Babies!!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender%201_zpsaebpgrhx.jpg)
Well, Melly is, at any rate. Bree is probably about eight or nine, even though her horse half only looks to be a few months old* haha.
*Which I suppose I part of my theory about how young centaurs work, considering, y'know- human babies can't hold their own heads up for like a year and foals can walk after a few hours. Bad combo 0.o
((Removed for Silly Brain Reasons, sorry for the inconvenience!!))
New art!
Ash and Yan, in his dragon form:
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender%203_zpsaafuhjfn.jpg)
@Juno
Aww yay! They look so good! :D
((Removed for Silly Brain Reasons, sorry for the inconvenience!!))
More artsy things!
Two pics of Josie and her baby Bayard, one in human form and one as wolves.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/1056f1e1-173d-4bdf-bbee-e8b383fb4b2f_zpsfhmeqqgy.jpg)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5184_zps3mhzg4dd.jpg)
Ahem. I cannot draw realistic wolves, apparently, so have some Disney-fied ones!
How, haven't posted art in a month >.<
Okay, so here's a rough sketch of Darkmoon- not a character exactly, but he's the favorite mount of Aya, my Adelan stable girl/secret nephilim.
He's a draques! A dragon-horse-thing. He doesn't breathe fire or anything like that, but he does have some sharp fangs you should watch out for ;)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/55c6f834-673b-434c-a0fd-b88ba27338ff_zpsnwvn1g2n.jpg)
@Draconian because doing a thread with Moonie in it sort of forced me to want to finish drawing him ^.^'
Whoo!
Okay, FINALLY got around to giving Darkmoon color.
So here he is!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/f3c52a20-e95e-4055-bbad-c795bdf281fa_zpsejvlo2e6.jpg)
Say hi to Jasper, my newest character! (I know I have too many characters, shhhh...)
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5237%201_zps8ydxrwws.jpg)
Also, here's a quick sketch of Krysta!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5238_zps9mncgsji.jpg)
Hey guys!
Yet another profile pic. Here's Della, for anyone who wants to see her!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/b5219dc0-7786-4930-ad4d-146eda8910a4_zpskakbd3im.jpg)
Oooo
Dem horns!
She's pretty =D
How are you at foxes?
Asking for a very specific reason... lol >:3
Thanks, Drac! <3
@Kalak , I'm...passable? 0.0 I'm better at people with fox features haha.
Mind giving Eihmo'tei a try?
Kiara, Kit, and him had some memorable adventures together!
Truthfully, I haven't drawn him in a while myself. I still cringe at his reference pic, lol
I can try!
Not sure when I'll get to it though-I have a bit of a queue...
Meh.
Take your time. Can't rush art!

But good job as always ^^
Hey y'all.
So this is Meri.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5259_zpsiuzcsies.jpg)

Because I'm pretending finals aren't a thing! Hahahahaha!
*sobs*
Ahem. Anyway, here's Twilight!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/FullSizeRender%201_zps3nbirblk.jpg)
@Dauphin DaGlobster (I know Vel isn't in this pic, but I thought you might like to see what I was thinking Light looked like.)
Hey again!
So, I tried a new style- something more cartoony. I'm not sure if I really love the end result, but I thought it was at least cute enough to post.
So here's Melly and Hvitt!
@Magyar Sorry if it seems very wrong, I wasn't entirely sure how to shade your dragon- if you don't like it I can take another crack at it!
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/b88b0385-5d54-4a7c-b578-724e48243940_zpstmtiuire.jpg)
Now I want to try it.
You should! I'd love to see your interpretation of your character- it could probably help me fix mine haha.
I added some color to Krysta!
Couldn't quite get her wings right- they're supposed to be more opalescent than that -.-
Ah well.
(http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/maddiep1996/IMG_5276_zpsqb5n2vap.jpg)
I loved looking through all of these again! Hope to see more art from you in the future!
