The Character Consultancy (she/her)

This is my entry for a Sheezy Oct prompt, "Desired path", and the first place my brain went to was the yellow brick road going through a forest. So, what do you think? Will those monsters attack you en masse and eat the flesh off your bones, or will they burst into song about how evil they are?

Made this while drawing up a few skull sketches!

Third time's the charm, and all that! #thisisatest #hello #goodbye

How about this one?

Stylized landscape in shades of purple, showing a still, reflective lake in front of a mountain scape. The lake and sky are full of plants and wildlife.

I had a full-on Friday with 5 hours of groupwork, so when I got home, I spent the evening drawing this mountain scene. What do you think?

Waterside scene with silhouetted flamingos against a pinkish dawn sky.

A cartoony scene of a night sky looking through the trees of a forest, with a huge full moon.

A gorgeous golden morning sky, peeking through palm fronds as we watch a couple fishing for the day's catch.

A desert scene with cacti silhouetted against a blood-red sunset.

Want to see a few more scenery pictures? They're not directly relevant to TCC, but I've been having fun with these!

A cutesy forest of crooked walnut trees.

Aside from all that, when I'm not busy in my offline life and not working on commissions, I'm drawing scenery like this. #digitalart

The above picture, by the way, is where you start the adventure! Which will you choose?

Dungeon room that admittedly looks a bit 16-bit. There are 3 doors, each with a symbol above them: a sword, a crown, and a shield.

My other CYOA is a fangame of #knightmare from the 1980s! My favourite series was S3, so I'm trying to stay faithful to that one. Rooms are my least-strong thing to draw but by the time I'm done illustrating this I think I should be awesome at it.

Cartoon flamingo with its wings spread, looking proud

First of all, I've been planning some more of Four Flamingos of the Apocalypse, my Choose Your Own Adventure. I've also been learning to draw, and really like how they individual horsemen are looking! Here's Death, a greater flamingo. I think he's celebrating because he just left the zoo!

I am so unbelievably terrible at posting here! I'm going to upload a few pictures here and tell you a bit about them, just to update you on what's been going on.

Welcome, Anna!

"ship shape and Bristol fashion" is a term that originated here. I don't know exactly how it came about but I believe the ships that docked here had to be kept to a high standard, something like that.

That's okay. As a Bristolian I rarely keep things ship shape and Bristol fashion.

I love these! They look more like they're mid movement. Good work!

Great practice!

Keep it up, mate - you're getting there!

Nice posture work! Keep it up!

Hi folks! I know not many people will be listening, but I'm not that great with social media so will usually be a bit on-off like this. This is just to say I'm doing fine and haven't fallen off the surface of the planet or anything (yet)! As it's #TavernThursday, how are you all doing?

It's #TavernThursday!
It's been a funny week for me. Not particularly busy but all my clients and other busy things have been spread out over the week, so I've decided to shepherd my clients towards the latter end of the week. Wish me luck! How are you all doing? #question

It's #WorldbuildingWednesday! Today's subject is #fire. Fire has a huge impact wherever it goes. It's often considered to be a catastrophe, yet some plants rely on it to successfully produce the next generation. What's the impact of fire in your world? #worldbuilding #writing #writers

In Turkey, a special drink is prepared for mum to stimulate milk production, and in Ecuador, fathers will give their sweaty shirts to wives and girlfriends in labour to mop her brow with during birth to give her strength. I love the supportive quality of both of these.

It's #CultureTuesday! Babies are one of the biggest new starts we encounter in life. Because of this, different cultures have created a wide range of traditions around welcoming a baby into the world. Perhaps in your worldbuilding project, other traditions hold. What are they? #worldbuilding

It's #CreatureFriday! Today we're looking at ancient creatures. On Earth, our "living fossils" include sharks, crocodilians, and platypi. There are plants too: the gingko tree produces fruit that no animal eats any more. What species on your world have been around the longest? #worldbuilding

It's Tavern Thursday, where we check in with each other.
I'm coming to the end of a busy week. On the other hand, I treated myself to a fantasy book I've been wanting to read for ages: The #Dragons of Bloodrock by #GrahamEdwards. How is everyone else doing? #Thursday

It's #WorldbuildingWednesday! We usually only credit humans with the ability to make structures that change our world, but other creatures do it too. E.g., beavers dam rivers and flood entire areas. What species exist on your world that change their environment? #worldbuilding #writing #Wednesday

It's #CultureTuesday! Physical strength can be an issue in some cultures - particularly where the dominant species has sexual dimorphism or there's a military leaning, where there can be an element of "might is right". How is strength perceived in your story? #worldbuilding #writing #writersblock

It's #techmonday! From the colossal Talos to Boston Dynamics drones in the modern era, people have always admired autonomous machines. Do any machines in your world look like a person or do the work of a person? #worldbuilding #writing #writersblock #monday #scifi
