I'm finally back to arting now that I'm no longer hospitalized. I hope this motivation lasts. I'd love to actually produce some finished pieces in full color.
Anyway, I've been working on redesigning an outfit for an old character of mine. Originally the outfit was for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign I'm playing her in but I like it so much that I'm making it canon. One thing led to the next and boom; now I'm drawing the entire party. So, without further ado, may I present my capricious spitfire of a sorceress, Meav Vaeros-Dolan and our lovely grumpy rogue, Kallima Nightingale! (WIP obviously)

Beautiful leaf that looks just like a butterfly! ;-)
