Marla's Sketchbook

[Marla]

Hi, I'm Marla!
This is the first sketchbook thread I start, and I'm not very sure how, so I'll just share some of my old art, to introduce myself, and make a pledge to add new sketches and ideas and finished things to it in the future

So, to begin with, I really like sketching ladies, especially portraits:




I like fantasy character art... a big motivation for me has always been doing good depictions of my Dungeons and Dragons characters. This is Alvana for example, a deva I play:


And this is Sade, a pretty classic fire-mage:



I really enjoy doing unlimited-time paint studies from photographs:

Although time constraints are really helpful at times too:
(~2 hours)

And this year I'm working on this kickass project known as the Land of Harmonia,which basically involves illustrating characters who wield musical magic, like Ariel, an angel of light:

or like Kali here, the heavy metal gargoyle queen of evil fey:


That's pretty much enough of an introduction I think In my future posts I'll put up more recent sketches, wips and finished things
