No Sleep November - Week 3

Sheika finally got her redesign, which I'm quite happy with. I've had her new look in my head for a while but I had to nail down the outfit.

Day 17 - Sheika

No Sleep November - Week 2

 I never settled on a final design for the crest, but I at least made a lot of progress on it. There's still something not quite right with my direction.

Day 10 - Architecture Studies

Day 13 - Vendetta

No Sleep November - Week 1

 I definitely struggled more with No Sleep November this year, and most of my sketches had to be finished later, but I eventually got through most of them. I also had my Renaissance Festival costume to make in the middle of November as well, and it took more time than I set aside for it. I am happy with what I finished, though.

Day 2 - Aland & Neren

Day 3 - Madrius

No Sleep November - Week 4

 I have officially completed No Sleep November with no losses! Week four only had one art day, as I knew from past Novembers that I never do much art over Thanksgiving Break and planned ahead. I filled the week with a lot of research on Catholicism, France, and alchemy.

No Sleep November - Week 3

 I've made it through the third week, and my streak remains unbroken! This week we returned to Merecily to work on some more character designs and stubborn backstories. 

I still have to make it through Thanksgiving Break, which is historically a rough time for my art, but this is also the first year I have reached the break without missing a day. I also planned ahead and scheduled mostly research tasks for the final week, so here's hoping I've set myself up for success this year!

Day 16 - Nyx

Day 17 - The Queen's Council

No Sleep November - Week 2

 I have decided to rename my NaNo-adjacent activity calendar to No Sleep November, since that is what it really ends up being. This week I worked on designs and scenes for the phantom thief story. Having a clear vision in my head of some of the locations has made me feel much more confident.

Day 8 - The Pied Piper

Day 9 - Side Characters

No Sleep November - Week 1

 A solid first week of my NaNoWriMo-adjacent activities. I knocked out some character designs and did some brainstorming for the map and the university uniforms. I'm quite happy with Kaia and the queen's designs, though I couldn't quite settle on an outfit for the queen. Luckily, I'd imagine she can afford to own all of them, so she can wear them in different scenes.

Day 1 - Kaia

Day 2 - Queen Eleonora

NaNo 2023 Sketches

 The result of the world building I did during National Novel Writing Month. Some turned out better than others, some I plan to scrap completely and redo, but all very important to my writing. Plenty more to see under "Read More" on this post.

Doodle - Two-Faced

 Just a little doodle I did during my NaNoWriMo world-building challenge while I was busy not doing my world-building task for the day.

Doodle - Character Development

 Day 4 of my world-building NaNoWriMo challenge - assign stories to Hayori's scars! Admittedly I used up a bit of time drawing this instead of brainstorming, but it was fun! And now, I'm going to quite enjoy the rest of my task.
