Doing more of mine and the fiance's GW2 characters always helps in keeping me from going insane, this time the “friends forever” duo Phlebotomist Zepp (mine) and Caita Deftsledge. My first time drawing a Charr! I do apologize for more fanart but it seems like one of those cathartic subjects that does great in keeping me in a good mood. I'll be going back to trades and commissions this week.

Even when I'm doing something incredibly self-indulgent I always make efforts to make it a learning experience in some way. In this case I wanted to see if I could try a somewhat rougher inking style with quicker, less involved coloring and somehow be able to pull it all off and make a decent-looking, effective picture. I used more Prismacolor markers in this one than Copics, so some of the blending is not nearly as good but I'm pleased with it. I could be happier but that's probably just the perfectionist side of me talking.
