This was the frist form I drew for Shenttan after This was the frist form I drew for Shenttan after knowing what he looked like in his 'humanoid' form. You can see the same horns, hair and jewlery. However I felt something was wrong. It lacked the sleekness of the origional design and he definately needed that. In the second drawing you can see my revised drawing. I prefered this way, WAY more! You can also see a quick doodle I did to figure out how long his hair is and it is LONG!

I'm so happy with this drawing, even though I drew I'm so happy with this drawing, even though I drew it years ago! This is one of the main characters in my CB book(s) even though he's more of a presence than a character the things he does sets off the whole chain of events which leads to the story itself. This is Shenttan and he's a Serpent (yes, the same as yesterday's post!). His kind can change shape. If you want to see what he looks like as a Serpent stay tuned to see the designs (and how they've changed!)

An introduction to a Race in my books: the Serpent An introduction to a Race in my books: the Serpents. This was a very early design I had for them (swipe to see both the pencil drawings and a colour version). I absolutely love them so much! ❤️🐍 Their design has changed over time e.g. losnig the 'fins' and the 'tentacle' things but keeping the long neck/body, the elongated face, markings around their eyes (some of them) and the mane of hair. For more drawings on how their design has changed stay tuned.

A colour version of the tomb (swipe for the origin A colour version of the tomb (swipe for the original pencil version). This is a weird but somewhat major location in the C-B series so I won't be saying anymore other than if you were wondering where it's located on the map I posted the other day... well... you won't find it on any map ;) #lifelongscribe #writer #writing #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #writercommunity #writersofinstagram #fantasy #fantasyart #fantasylocation #fantasywriter #scififantasy #scififantasyart #scififantasywriter #colourdrawing #pencildrawing #tomb
Map time! The first map is a quick computer drawn Map time! The first map is a quick computer drawn version of the map I originally did for my C-B series. I was in my teens at the time, hadn't really thought the world out and just needed a placeholder. It shows but it didn't really matter. The second and third images are the map I used for a long time (full image up on my Tumblr soon). Also somewhat of a placeholder but something I put a bit more effort in to (at least in terms of working out where things were in relation to one another, not the shape of the land itself). Bonus points to anyone who recognises what I did to get the outline 😛 I’ve finally made a proper map for it, one that fits the world overall and makes a lot more sense but I’m sharing these to show how sometimes you just need a little placeholder not a full work of art. #lifleongscribe #writer #writing #writingcommunity #fantasy #fantasywriter #fantasyworld #scififantasy #fantasyart #fantasyartwork #scififantasyart #books #maps #fantasymaps #traditionalart
Minor character costume parade part 4! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 And also the final one for now! Well this one was EXTRA but it fits with the character's roll in society. So much of this book is still up in the air but I hope I get to show off some of this stuff in it... We'll see... (Note: with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #digitalartwork #digitalart #origionalcharacter #origionalcharacters #originalcharacterart
Time to break up the costume parade with another c Time to break up the costume parade with another character. This is rather lose (face shape etc.) but I wanted to get the basic idea for the colour pallet of this character and it works! I'm happy with this one. (Although I promise to draw him much, much better soon!). All I'll say is he's the main antagonist thus far! 😈😂 (Note: with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #digitalartwork #digitalart #origionalcharacter #origionalcharacters #originalcharacterart
Minor character costume parade part 3! 🎉🎉🎉 Yeah... probably going to change but I honestly have no idea for this one so we'll see... (Note: with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #digitalartwork #digitalart #origionalcharacter #origionalcharacters #originalcharacterart
Minor character costume parade part 1! 🎉🎉😂 I had a lot of fun with the details on this one! This is for a tailor so I wanted something a little different that could 'show off' his work 😁 I don't know if it'll look like this in the end though...

Minor character costume parade part 1! 🎉 I'm so Minor character costume parade part 1! 🎉 I'm so changing this for the story but I had fun with this so here it is!

Quick bit of costume design for one of my main thr Quick bit of costume design for one of my main three characters in my first book. Much like with Tabatha's costume I drew inspiration from Mongolian clothing for his outfit and tweaked it for the setting. (Note: with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #digitalartwork #digitalart #origionalcharacter #origionalcharacters #originalcharacterart
I don't think this costume will be in the story no I don't think this costume will be in the story now which is a shame because I had a lot of fun designing it. If you noticed Tabatha's normal clothes (blue dress) are more Mongolian but this one is more along the Thai and Chinese (hanfu) style with elements of the Mongolian still in the hat. I'll talk about the design choices I made for this culture more in a post on design on my blog: lifelongscribe.com (Full image up on DA and Tumblr) (Note: with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #pencilart
Tabatha's day to day clothes with her coat. (Note: Tabatha's day to day clothes with her coat.

Tabatha's day to day clothes (without her coat). I Tabatha's day to day clothes (without her coat). I had fun using bright colours and patterns on her clothes; I never get to do that with most of my characters! In this design I wanted a nice mix of the richness of her culture and the practicalities needed for prolonged travel and I think this works well. If you saw my post on the sketches you'll know a bit about the inspiration behind it (or check out my blog post on lifelongscribe.com) and if you want to see the full picture you can on my Tumblr and DA accounts. #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #pencilart #colourdrawing
Tabatha costume designs. When designing her outfi Tabatha costume designs. When designing her outfits I knew I wanted something practical for day to day wear as she travels a lot but also I looked at her culture and how they related to their 'gods' and let both those factors inform my designs. I researched different styles of clothing from our world to help inspire me. For this culture I looked at Thai, Chinese (hanfu) and predominantly Mongolian clothing. I think it turned into something quite interesting. I'll share the colour versions soon. (Full body versions are up on my Tumblr and DeviantArt accounts.) (Again with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #pencilart
I drew this ages and ages and ages ago! Oh dear... I drew this ages and ages and ages ago! Oh dear... what to say about it... Ummm, the design has changed a lot! haha! Oh well it's fun to see how far things have come I suppose. I'll share the re-design soon... #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #pencilart #colourdrawing
So this was when I was still playing around with K So this was when I was still playing around with K's Forms (how many he would have and what they would look like) as well as outfits to go with those Forms. This one is not going to appear but it was fun to do. (Again with these designs I wasn't worrying about face shape and stuff like that, more about the general design like horns or no horns, clothes etc.) #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #pencilart
A Form that K may or may not have and also a costu A Form that K may or may not have and also a costume design for that form. This was interesting and part of me likes the idea but part of me doesn't... :/ Probably not going to be in the book but wanted to share it anyway 😀 Costume design and colour trials. I wasn't working on the character's appearance at all in this (hence the blank face, no features etc.) and I wasn't really worried about shading and shape etc; I only wanted to get the rough shapes and the right colours for the character. #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #pencilart #colourdrawing
Costume design and colour trials, both the sketch/ Costume design and colour trials, both the sketch/lineart and the colour version. With this one I put the basic features of K into the picture (hair colour, ears, skin etc.) but my main focus was on the clothes. The full picture will be up on Tumblr and Deviantart. This is K's normal form btw 😀 #lifelongscribe #writer #characterdesign #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #sketch #sketchbook #fantasyart #fantasy #fantasywriter #costume #costumedesign #charactercostumes
