So I'm not really happy with this drawing but I've been uninspired for a few days now and hoping this helps kick-start me back into a creative loop. It's a scene I'm going to be describing in my CYOA Mega Frankenstein.

Decided to do a sketch of "Maesika"



She's one of the characters in a story I'm writing, a faerie spirit who takes the form of a cursed rag doll. She shifts her appearance based on her mood.

Did a sketch of one of my central characters named Nem. An older version is in Mega Frankenstein.

Do you use vectors or a specific kind of pen, out of curiosity?

Neither, I just work digitally with Krita and am somewhat ok at creating clean line art. I use the Ink-2 Fineliner brush for the final lines these days, which is a default Krita brush.

Huh, never heard of Krita until now. Looked it up, seems pretty legit. I've already got Clip Studio though so I'm sticking with what I know for now.



A sketch of Sami, the protagonist of my second CYOA (on a different site) who is also in Mega Frankenstein. Sami is a lot rougher around the edges than Nem and it threw players for a loop. She drinks heavily and enjoys a fair bit of pot, neither of which have as strong an effect as she'd like due to her body being extremely resilient to drugs and disease as well as healing quickly.

That's a neat writing idea!

I just realized I never replied to that, but thanks! The story involves the introduction of faeries into the world and the problems of finding decent housing to haunt when you're effectively a ghost. A paranormal investigator is hired to deal with her, but she just explains that all she has to do to get rid of him is to kill his wealthy client. Since what she really wants is a place of her own, she agrees to move in with the investigator instead despite all he has is a one-bedroom apartment (and having a real person as a front for holding property is a lot easier. From that point onwards it's the investigator trying to wrangle a bloodthirsty killer ragdoll although in a strange way it has some parallels to the concept of pokemon, as Maesika is in a much better situation with a human companion than without.

Wasn't particularly inspired today but tried a sketch of Rekki, one of the characters in Nem's story. He's pretty important but tends to stay in the background for the most part.

A sketching of Remmington, one of my characters. He's probably needing the most development in terms of his backstory and his character design since when given a choice between him and Sami, the readers at the time chose Sami. The concept for his story was that the players needed to keep him out of fights because he'd win them -- and leave a trail of bodies with consequences in his wake. One of the other elements I wanted to play with was an inability to easily give him direct instructions (related to his ability to dominate fights was the fact he had issues being able to 'hear' the players).

I'm not super-happy with this sketch but... one a day to break the curse right?

A sketch of Yeeryie, a character planned for a small short-story game I'm working on. She's a spooky seelie faerie who loves ice cream and scaring people.

Did a sketch of one of my characters named Macha. Not super happy with it but I wanted to get back on track with a daily drawing. (Macha is Nem's future daughter)
