Riftwatcher Sketchdump 2008

These were actually drawn sometime last January, I think, when I was still riding the Riftwatcher high I developed over New Year's. I forgot completely about them and did not touch my sketchbook much after that, which is sad and has resulted in a depressing inability to draw these characetrs properly anymore. Going to have to work on that.

Anyhoo ... that flying picture of Jelyan is probably one the most kickass things I have ever drawn, and is definitely a final, if not THE final, version of this character. The little shadow-doodle above her I did to try and make her wings look like grasping claws, which is how they would look from below when she's flying.

The doodle of Kuro kissing Evee's nose, however, is pure gold.

Riftwatcher and associated characters are copyright Nikita "Thayle" Malha ... fanart is loved, but art-thieves shall be sent dismembered Barbie-doll heads in the mail.
