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 the very first charcoal portrait I ever made. I think I spent about 25 hours on this piece over the course of a week. Portrait Model is a Japanese singer (Gackt) and a reference photo was used. Size is 18x24 inches.
So if any of you have played or watched Dangaropa you know it is kool. This is one of my OC's for that. She is the Ultimate Innocent. She helps out the Mastermind only to be betrayed by the Mastermind.
This is my character Myscria - level 10 druid, tiefling and looking older than she should because...well, I haven't quite mastered drawing specific age ranges yet. She's only about 22/23.
Unai Emery. Arsenal Football Club Manager. I think I could have put another hour or so into this and worked the finer details, but overall happy with how it turned out.
A sideways version of my watercolor painting titled "Neutral Rose." If anyone knows how I can get these properly reoriented, please help. If you can image this one quarter turn to the left and on things like shirts, hats, and posters, try checking out this link to see all those things for real: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart
This watercolor painting was done of one of the first flowers I saw upon arriving in London. It was a yellow climbing rose on the outside of our residence hall. I have the design for sale as prints and as printed products like mugs and shirts on Redbubble, Society6, Zazzle, and Threadless. Check out those sites via this link: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart
I took too long of a break from drawing, but so far this is coming out well. I've tried to go for a sci-fi theme, which is my favorite genre, but definitely not where my strengths are. Criticism, critiques, and suggestions are very much welcome! Also I'm going to have to find a new way of uploading my work.
