Here is the final part of The February Faces Challenge. It was a fun challenge and I am glad I did it. I think I will do it again next year, since it helped me draw more of my characters.
Here is the official (optional) prompt list:
Day #19 Eyewear, Ocean Guy adjusting his glasses.
Day #20 Cheeky, I didn't do cheeky in the traditional sense. I instead drew Matilda from Dolls of Wax, Eyes of Glass feeling embarrassed. And I drew attention attention to the blush in her cheeks.
Day #21 Thoughtful, I decided to draw Marigold. She's a character from The Mystery of the Body Thief my fantasy/murder mystery, and I decided to give her an outfit redesign.
Day #22 bald, I drew Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation as he was the first character that came to mind with the prompt bald.
If anyone is wondering, I haven't seen the new show Picard. I am disappointed in what I've heard of it. It appears to have gone dark and grim, when instead I feel as if it should be optimistic like Star Trek usually is. In my opinion, they should have gone in the direction that the Leverage reunion show did, which was to have a light-hearted (and similar) take on the characters coming back together. Otherwise, it feels like Star Trek discounts Picard's character arc, that was brought on in particular by Q in "Tapestry."
Day #23 on the telly, I decided to draw a news show, that would appear in the world of my super hero characters, airing a story of about a villain covering the city in slime.
Day #24 hat/headwear, this is a drawing my character when she became the Mother the Elements. I picture this to be when she was younger and had found her purpose as a goddess. This is a drawing of the moment when she is about to put her circlet on her head.
Day #25 old, I drew Elvin the Silver, a wizard Dungeons & Dragons character of mine.
He was inspired by Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
Day #26 Silly Face, This is another Dungeons & Dragons character of mine, Jinx. I figured this would be a face he would make if he saw something insane happen in one of the campaigns.
(Which does happen most of the time, whether he does it or another player's character does).
Day #27 self portrait, because I didn't feel like drawing myself (I did though enter in a self portrait contest last year, so I am not entirely against drawing myself), I felt like drawing one of my characters holding a self portrait of themselves. So, I drew Gaia, a Tiefling, holding a portrait of herself that I drew in 2020. Combining new art with old art.
Day #28 sleeping, I drew Kira for this one. On her bed is her phone which is playing an audiobook, and the portal to fairyland is open.

I like all your drawings, but my faves are Slime, Picard and Ocean Guy. They say that the two hardest things to draw are glasses and hands but you did well with both! I watched the first season of Picard but skipped the second and the latest third season. Apparently there will not be a fourth season.
ReplyDeleteAs ever, these are all generally awesome. I especially enjoyed the blue glasses on Ocean Guy, and the gesture of his hand reaching up to adjust them. Also, On the Telly -- again because I like the feeling of story it conveyed (and I liked your backstory, too). I loved the detail of the portal to fairyland being open in Sleeping...
ReplyDeleteI love the city covered in slime. :) And Ocean Guy too. Also the portal to fairyland being open while she's sleeping is such a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Star Trek. I like it to be optimistic too.
These are super :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ananka. :)

ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
Thank you so much. 💙

My faves are Ocean Guy, Marigold (she does look thoughtful, but also a bit annoyed LOL) and the slime-covered city. That sounds like a great story prompt 😂.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Roberta.💙

Interesting how most of your faces are somewhat have sad expressions.
ReplyDeleteI have seen only the first episode of Picard and it was okay but I'm just not interested in watching it. I guess what I didn't like is that humor is not quite there, at least, from what I've seen in trailers. And also, seeing the next generation characters as much older characters is a bit jarring, especially since you didn't get to see them grow older.
I like Gaia and her self portrait. You know self portrait does not necessary mean your face only, it can be representation of you like your favorite coffee mug or something that represents you, at least, I think that way.
Have a lovely day.
