(Belated) Shining Inktober, Day 21: Ken

Had a bit of trouble with this one. Think I'll revisit for a retry some day.

Shining Inktober, Day 31: Fan Character - Jiji

Jiji started as a Shining Force FC. She'd join the player if they help her and her circus buddies.

Working out of order still, but I'll loop and jump around to finish.

This is a mix of several designs I've sketched of her. Not a big fan of rufflly clothes, but I like this outfit for her.

(Belated) Shining Inktober, Day 28: Diane

Found out that I could take my Mono eraser and scrub a good amount of ink (black 01 Microns) off the shiny side of my index cards, even weeks later. Makes inking less intimidating, but clean-up gets trickier.

Well, I've got three sketches in for the end of this art challenge. I'm disappointed I didn't get to everyone in time, but this was a good exercise in trying out techniques. I think I'll still try to finish anyway.

Shining Inktober, Day 26: Anri

The spritework on those spiky wizard pauldrons in the original game sometimes remind me of a pair of dragon heads instead of conch shells. I wonder if offical art of the other promoted classes were ever released in some form.

Shining Inktober, Day 16: Vankar.

Tell'im how you *really* feel, Sir Knight.

Added the speech bubble during editing. Also found out those white Mono erasers can take off some Micron ink while it's still wet and smudgy (I draw on the shiny side of index cards). Had to redraw a small section.

Busy week. Detox ball's looking fuzzy, but thought I'd try pushing rendering a little more. Maybe I'll try acrylic paint or correction fluid pen to fix later.

Struggled with this one. Max could've been inked more carefully. That eye irks me.

On the upside, I think this is the first time I've seriously tried a robot. Turned out alright.

Cutting it close! Really liked the sketch, a little disappointed the inked eyes seem more "cordially bored" than "clearly evil woman about to enjoy siccing her minions on you."
