character design

Know thyself

A short comic strip that revolves around my own original characters.

Once upon a time, there lived a princess. Not a vicious, bloodthirsty princess. No, Nettle was a quiet, bookish girl, and that was a problem. As anyone could tell you, a princess was not gentle. A princess was not forgiving. Above all, a princess was never..kind. — Nettle is a character from a story called Wing I've been working on quietly for a long time. You can check out this post on my new artist blog about the process of creating this comic character: https://christinewelmanblog.wordpress.com/2019/03/24/my-process-for-designing-a-comic-character/

This is an illustration I did a few years ago for the cover of a book of children's stories written by self-published author, Jane Fraser.

Chump my darling OC. She's been living inside my head since high school. Well I won't tell you how long ago that was.

I have been listening to some great songs and getting lost in some writing and stories. I felt inspired to create this creature. I know I had made one originally a year ago. https://youtu.be/GqDkZEv_ZQk?si=m6KwE1Gj0UZtEJR6 Here is one of the songs I obsessed with.

They prefer chilling at home over going out. Dalena's still new to drink and hasn't left the floor since

My little furenzu!

4 of 5 of the characters I scrapped due to changing the tone of the story. This character is half mythic-a ziburinis but flames are purple and half human.

Manga girls and cute cats, I made this artwork back in 2023. Markers on paper.

I don't usually draw countryhumans. The last experiment was with Moldova! But it was interesting againOwO love Spain(≧∀≦)ゞ

Hi I'm back! I took this as an opportunity to practice using values alongside lighting.

Ink on paper.

Sorry for disappearing for like 6 months-ish(?) Anyway this is my favorite character of mine please be nice to him
