Miscellaneous Drawings #9

Previous parts: #1, #2 #3, #4#5#6,#7, and #8. 

Hello everyone, 
I have some drawings I want to share, and I thought it was time to share them. 
I have some longer posts planned, which I will post later, but for now here is a drawing post: 

This is a drawing of Ophelia. I thought I would draw her smiling since I have a habit of not drawing my characters smiling. 


This is a drawing of my characters, Edith from The Haunted Sketchbook meeting Felix from Dolls of Wax, Eyes of Glass


Here is the Wax Witch staring at the moon. I was inspired to draw this after reading Hoffman's "The Sandman."


A drawing of Karleon I did in a celebration outfit based on this drawing I found. I remember making a drawing of the shield for Dragons' Province a while ago and including a blue-haired figure who looks oddly like Karleon 🤔 (with makeup and tattoos).

Here's the drawing in question. 




Here's a drawing of Salissah, I imagine her wearing this when adventuring with Karleon. 




I did some drawings of characters I made in the past for an old Percy Jackson fan fiction.

Susan (top right)- Daughter of Hecate 
April (bottom)- Daughter of Aphrodite.

Introducing Some Characters: Super Villains


Greetings travelers, 

I had been busy so I didn't have time to blog for a little bit, but I am back! Some general updates before we begin the post. 

Firstly, Adventure Awaits finally has a Discord Server, which you can join by clicking here
It's Fantasy and Gothic themed like my blog, there are fun activities on it (such as book clubs, role-plays, discussion questions, etc.), and threads themed around different hobbies and interests. However, to clear up any possible worries this is not intended to replace my blog. It's merely another way to be in contact with me, along with my blog email or the comments section. 

  And secondly, I have made a page for the characters from my book, The Haunted Sketchbook, which you can check out. I don't have everyone up yet, but I have put Ferdinand Diggory's profile up.

 Anyway, back to this post, I thought it was time to introduce some of my super villains as I have introduced some of my super heroes before... 

Let's begin: 

Princess Rose


She had a strong obsession with an animation company that has a rodent as a mascot. (Hubert Hamster, in the case of her world). And in one of her trips to that "most cheerful place on earth," she miraculously received powers: meaning she can talk to animals, and do any number of things that a princess can do. But she is also able to warp reality to become the setting of any of those movies, brainwashing people and transforming them. So, she's a dangerous villain to come across. 

In her free time, when not destroying the city, she likes to collect figurines relating to characters from the animation company and to watch movies from them to get ideas for her evil plans.

Mr. Slime  


A former mad scientist, after an accident with experimenting he became Mr. Slime. He has covered the city in slime several times, and he likes trapping people in slime. Despite dripping with slime, he is usually well dressed and sometimes goes into battle wearing a suit and top-hat. There's a contest between him and Princess Rose about who is "the best dressed villain." 
(Voted on by their enemies the super heroes of course). 

He has a connection with Skunk Girl, and often fights her. But it seems that their connection runs a bit deeper than that of villain and super hero. No one else in the super hero team knows how they knew each other, and some of the team are looking for answers to this mystery. 


Baby Mastermind 


He wants to end the world but hides under the facade of being an innocent baby. He had formerly worked as a super hero, but he decided that he didn't want to be that anymore. So, he switched sides and became a villain. He has a rattle that contains a laser and a baby bottle of "milk" containing poison. Though he may be cute, he is not trustworthy and not someone to cuddle with. 

His super power when he was a good guy was being incredibly smart for his age. His smartness sometimes got him into trouble, however, for he would often overthink and be unable to save everyone in time. So, out of annoyance, he turned to villainy.
