Keyif: Pet Portrait as Retirement Gift for Nurse Grace

 

Finished Portrait of Keyif

This was a retirement gift for one of the nurses who helped me out during my extensive stay in the hospital. Grace was very kind and looking forward to her retirement: all of the places to travel to; the hobbies to get started; and making time for her family, her cat Keyif included!

Full Body Character Commission: Vania Pokémon Trainer

From the same client who had previously commissioned the Vulpix PokéSona comes Starbright Bunny's Original Character as a Pokémon Trainer. 

I was basically given free reign for poses, outfit style, and colour palette; so I used this commission as a good way of breaking down my method of handling the presentation of each of these elements to a client.

Quarantine Monthly Challenge

While I typically participate in #MerMay on Instragram as a daily drawing challenge, I happened to start this May in government-mandated quarantine (since I was returning from visiting my boyfriend in the States). As a result, I decided to do a half-month daily, to represent the 14 days during which I was stuck at home. 

As it happens, Adorkastock (who I support on Patreon) had just launched a beta version of their Sketch App which was a wonderful resource for pose references. I took inspiration from a selection of poses, and for some I gathered colour palettes off of Canva to see what sort of masked character designs I could come up with.
