Trying out a new blog

July 22, 2017 by Mariel Hester

I'm thinking about using this blog feature as a sketchblog wherein I can post sketches and talk about art-related things since I don't really have a space for that in my day-to-day life (North Carolina isn't big on comics or illustration so here I am?).

Recently I've been drawing some old characters from a superhero story I've had on my mind since 2014, back when I was obsessed with hero shows like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. I keep thinking that it'd be nice to actually work on making the story a reality but I'm not a confident artist... So in the meantime I work on small pieces that explore the characters, their personalities, and their environment.

The main cast of heroes. From left to right, their names are: Nadja, Maurice, Paolo, Sun, John Iwa, and Alba Tourmaline.

Other than some recent sketches, I've added some of my old "Paolo and Sun" comics to the portfolio if you'd like an idea of what kind of people these guys are.

Working part-time in retail and being a full-time student at the local community college doesn't allow me much time to work on this idea... However, I care about my imaginary kids a lot so I'll keep doing my best.  ┐(´-`)┌
