Show Your Bones

I don't have much in the way of new things to show, but Schols has been anxious for an update. So, in lieu of presentable things, here are a few random doodles from the failure drawer.


The Redcap. This is a WIP that got pretty far along, and I actually wouldn't mind finishing it sometime. Finding the time for it is the tricky part.



This is a pretty old sketch of a Brass Man, one of a race of mercantile automata who inhabit a grand bazaar at the edge of the world. Originally, this was concept work for a short 3CH story I was considering, a little like what I had planned for the zombie monks.


Speaking of robots, I'm always trying to come up with new playmates for Hephaestus. This is a sketch of Verrazano, a steam knight based off of old Spanish armor. I actually really like this design and would love to do a full illustration of this guy someday.



I think Charele is too cute to lose, but this sketch of her with a crossbow wasn't turning out right.

Oh wow, I don't check the blog for a few days, and suddenly I get not one but TWO posts! Superb!

Redcap is awesome, you really need to finish her someday.

What's Charele's story? Do you have one? I have a weakness for female knights of all varieties, and I'm curious to hear who she is.

Thanks!

I like the Redcap girl too, so even if I never finish the sketch, I might try to hang on to the character.

As for Charele, I'm curious myself! I'm hoping the more I draw her, the more I'll figure her out.
