PART 4! here's ignatius, our first major antagonist for the first half of the story. he's based on the headless horseman

he's more of an anti-hero than a proper villain to me. he constantly ambushes dawn and the gang and tries to capture them. fortunately for them, wesley knows his weak spot (his head!). ignatius, despite his status, is never taken seriously by other lower-class horsemen.

horsemen are like knights, or merely security guards most of the time. ever since wesley's disappearance, he's been constantly tasked to look for him and take him back for trial. he just never does. why? wesley is simply too good at escaping. they've been on this whole cat-and-mouse chase for so long that they've become fond of each other already. other than ignatius being a usually cold and grumpy horseman, he's actually just really lonely and in need of a friend.

ignatius took me a while to draw, but i'm happy with how he turned out! his and wesley's dynamic is something i'm also really excited to write.

again, final part of the art showcase series for now. i don't know what's to come next either, so be sure stick around for it :)) there's a lot i haven't explored of the hollows yet

PART 3! wesley withers, wesley for short. he's one of my favorites

the tritagonist! he is the said "mysterious cloaked figure" that dawn follows into the woods, who unknowingly leads her below the surface. appearing to be some sort of deer monster, he is a former member of a great organization called C.R.Y.P.T.I.D. (which i'll be tackling in a later post), and is now a fugitive. he is wanted for allegedly being affiliated with the surface and knows how to access it. but before he could be sent into trial, he disappears.

wesley swears he's a good guy, and insists that the organization is evil. although his decisions are... morally questionable, he's really only trying to survive. he is a very survival-oriented and strategically impulsive character.

here's a little bonus page of some of his outfit variations. i like to think that he got his mysterious purple cloak from a wraith, one of the many entities they've sent down to capture him. his cloak gives him the ability to turn invisible. as for the wraiths, i'll tackle those in a different post.

part four tomorrow! probably the last part for a little while. i'm still working on other stuff! see you :))

PART 2! this is a very special one!! to me at least

here's ghosty, the non-human sidekick to our human protagonist! he's a curious and clumsy little ghost who tagged along with dawn to help her return to the surface.

he was first drawn by me back in 2020, making him one of my oldest characters. he had a very different lore back then and i usually animated him into skits/memes alongside other characters i made during my time in the object show community. i'm so happy to be able to bring him back for this project!! he's one of my favorites :))

ghosty is optimistic and enthusiastic, often enlightening or motivating dawn and the gang into achieving their goals. while he's not very smart, he at least tries to help in any way he can.

oh and before i forget, here's a little fun fact: his name is written in quotations in the image above because "ghosty" isn't actually his real name. his actual name is a mystery; he simply chooses to hide behind a made-up one.

part three tomorrow! see you :3

PART 1! of the northwood art showcase series :))

to start off the character intros, here's our main character: dawn garcia! she's an ordinary teenage human girl who ends up in a not-so-ordinary place hidden wayyy below the surface. sound familiar? think of alice in wonderland.

she's rebellious, impulsive, and hella chaotic. she didn't come to the hollows empty handed either—she carries around an old baseball bat to defend herself with. her only goal is to find a way back up to the surface, but until then, she remains stranded below the surface, and she could only hope that she comes across someone who could help her find a way out. surely not all monsters down here are hostile... right?

bit of a late post, but here's some character renders of an oc project i'm working on that i later wanna turn into a webcomic/animated series: northwood! it's about a girl (left) who sneaks out to follow a dark mysterious cloaked figure into the woods (right) before ending up a couple hundred miles below the surface in a place called "the hollows". accompanied by a curious ghost (middle), she has to find a way to return to the surface while defending herself from a lot of deadly magical creatures and uncovering the secrets of the world below.

i took heavyyy inspiration from edmond halley's hollow earth theory, which you should totally read about! it's a very interesting concept. i'm really proud of the writing in this one so far

i'll introduce the characters one by one in parts across different posts :3 stay tuned!

oh and before you scroll past, here's some extra logo designs i came up for it. i like the first one a lot. as much as i love the storytelling in the second one, i don't really feel as satisfied with it. i might redesign it in the future though
