Storm from the X-Men.

My last image for Black History Month is also my first image for Women’s History Month! All this month I’m going to be doing fan art of some of my favorite female characters. Girl power!

Caleb and Payton from High School Story by Pixelberry.

I had been planning on posting this image today anyway, but it turned out to be perfect timing since @playchoices announced that book 3 of the series will be released tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Caleb is one of the romance options from the visual novel version of HSS, and also happens to be my main character’s LI in the game, so obviously I was going to draw him for this month’s theme. Payton is in both the visual novel, as well as the original H...

Sana Starros of Star Wars.

I knew for Black History Month that I wanted to include a character from Star Wars, but I couldn’t really think of any. Yes, I know there’s Lando and Finn, but I refuse to draw anyone from any of the films because I feel like that corner of the universe has been tread to death, and I’m way more interested in exploring the EU. At first I thought I’d create an original character, and the first thing that came to mind was a badass bounty-hunter type. Then I decided to f...

Ollie Purdue and Lacey Stiles from the Sims 4.

I’m a huge fan of the Sims, so obviously I’ll try to work in some fan art featuring them for any theme I’m going to do. I’m honestly more of a fan of the Sims 2 as far as canon characters are concerned, but for the Black History Month theme, I couldn’t really think of any specifically black characters living in Pleasantview (yeah there’s the Dreamer family, but they’re so ethnically ambiguous I couldn’t say with confidence that they fit the theme)...

Matt from Until Dawn.

I really like this game. Once you get past all of the cringy bro dialogue and occasional homophobic joke, it turns into a fun and creepy experience that takes a huge twist halfway through the story and turns it into something way more complex than a typical slasher flick. In fact, after having played it a few times and watched several Youtube playthroughs, I’ve come to appreciate the worldbuilding they did. Also, I played Rush of Blood–the companion VR game–and it was on...

For my next sketch for Black history Month, I decided to do Kid Quantum of the Legion of Superheroes, which is one of my all-time favorite superhero teams (especially the “Reboot” version, which is the first version that I ever read).

Robotech is my all-time favorite cartoon, due in no small part to the amazing characters. Claudia Grant was the rock of the bridge crew during the First Robotech War, holding strong even after suffering arguably the most heartbreaking tragedy of the entire series. In the end, she made the ultimate sacrifice, but used her final moments to save the life of her best friend. A generation later, during the Second Robotech War, her nephew Bowie Grant goes AWOL to pursue true love with Musica, incit...

This is a portrait of my Shepard from Mass Effect 3. I realized I had kind of a Bioware theme going last month, so I decided that I’m going to try to do a new theme for each month from now on. Since it’s Black History Month, this month I’m going to do illustrations of my favorite black characters of fandom (as well as some OCs). That made my Shepard the perfect transition piece. It still blows my mind that I was able to play an AAA game where the greatest hero in the galaxy is a mixed-race ga...

I sketched another Inquisitor. This was actually my very first one, but I only got as far as In Your Heart Shall Burn before I changed my mind and decided I wanted to play a human instead of an elf. But I always liked this kid’s look, so I thought I’d draw him as well as my new Qunari I drew the other day.

I started replaying DAI recently–I still need to play the first two Dragon Ages, but I’ve been really wanting to play a Qunari ever since I realized how cool they are. Also, last time I played I romanced Dorian, so this time I’ve got Iron Bull in my sights. Anyway, playing this character made me want to play him, so I did this little rough sketch of him for today’s warmup.
