And here’s the last of the Elemental Squires in full Sugar Skull make up.
Funny thing, Erin is the one that has changed the most since I started planning and publishing the other Robin versions. I will tell you all about that in a future post.
For now, I hope you had a great Halloween last month, and today, an amazing Day of the Death.
We’re almost done with the Inktober witches, and I am sure going to miss them… so probably there will be at least one more drawing of the group once I am done with the challenge. (I apologize for some of the images, my scanner hasn’t been cooperating lately)
I have to admit, Dew is probably my favorite Squire to draw. She hasn’t had the chance to shine much yet, but I adore her. She loves her job, she loves her powers and she will never, ever back down from a fight.
If you want to know how I colored her, the process is available on Patreon for anyone who donates $5.00 USD or more per month.
This set of witches came out quite different from the rest. But they all have very interesting stories, so I really want to share them with you.
Last week I shared Blaze, now I am sharing Calani with her Sugar Skull make up.
Funny thing about Calani: I kind of had issues with her because I used to hate color green. I just couldn’t find a way to make it look pretty to me. Now a days, she and Dew are two of my favorite girls to draw because of their colors. So I hope you like them as much as I liked drawing and coloring them. (Dew will come out next week 😉 )
Continuing with the witches of Inktober, I have to admit that the second week’s prompts gave me some really weird ideas. Yes, the muse is still going overboard, and now I am between coloring book or story books for each.
Oh, and of course, I am going to color four of the girls, and you guys can decide either by voting on my facebook page, or commenting here with your favorite of the week.
Since I was a little girl, I’ve loved Sugar Skulls. I remember mom buying the biggest, most decorated one for our altar for Great Grandpa Manuel, and that it would last for DAYS if I took it later to school, even sharing it with my classmates. But I really didn’t like eating it as much as looking at it. The decorations always made me smile and wonder how they were made.
Two years ago, I made a series of some characters as sugar skulls. It was REALLY fun. But that was two years ago, and now I thought… why not give the Elemental Squires of Dream Keeper Robin a chance? So here we are with the first one, Blaze, the passionate squire of Fire.
This Inktober I decided to do some original drawings rather than fanart like last year. Thing was, I wasn’t expecting my muse to go a bit overboard. My idea was to make a witch for each prompt, with a flower and a familiar that sort of went with the idea. And… my muse decided that it was the perfect time to give me their full stories.
And while I still don’t know if this will be a coloring book or something else, lemme introduce you a little bit of said stories:
This was the very first illustration I did for Traveling Seers. Maria, on the home plate, ready to start an inning. There’s a lot to say about Maria: why I choose that nickname, why he bears with it, and yes, how he feels about leaving his country to chase his dream. While the story began in spanish a long time ago, I am just showing it in English now. However, don’t worry: Once we get up to date with the spanish version, it will keep going.
This month Traveling Seers will be updated every weekday in Tapas. This is to give you guys a bigger archive to read, and to do a subscription drive at Tapas: If I get to 300 subscribers before Nov 1, I will keep a Monday-Wednesday-Friday update schedule through November and onwards. So, as they say in Youtube: Like and subscribe!
I love drawing the Robin cast in pretty dresses and different hairdos. Even if they have little time to actually wear said dresses or hairdos in the story. Maybe one day I will actually add Gavin, Orion and Zander to the extra drawings.
