_{Deadline is: August 31st, 2013}


Before I continue, as the title says, these characters AREN'T mine, these peeps belong to NOT derpy me... I have my own characters that I love.

Okie dokie, now that that's said, I can now finally tell what the fruitloops is going on in this drawing.

I was trying to go for that little profile of a thing about a character... you know how you have a certain part of a character showing with their name somewhere in there too and also a loverly background that only surrounds them?
Yep, that's what I was going for.

Let's start off with what's going with each character from left to right:

Felicia Amber Tayle — dramatic wind blowing with just four random leaves and the sun is supposed to be setting to have that orangey-yellow (with ever so small sky blue) kind of glow and I probably failed with that, but it was worth a shot!
_{(You'll need to zoom up on the picture because I drew her silver ring there as well, which is on her right hand, middle finger. )}

Thatcher Demins — starting to become night time with only seven stars out so far
_{(I'm sorry that his arms and hands came out a bit strange... I'm still a bit crappy when it comes to arms and all other body parts and I'm slowly working on clenched fists... )
((I hope he looks like he is determined about something... because that's what I was going for...))
(((Everytime I look at him... he looks like Eric from The Little Mermaid... )))}

Badjan Kholi — we have a half-and-half scene going on here! I drew him as both his prince self thinking in the daytime (he's got a lot on his mind) and as a thief in the night with eight stars only out so far, ready to pull out his two daggers with a serious look.
_{(I'm quite proud of how he came out. )}

Natasha Iceheart — just chilling there with some clouds in the sky and I also tried to make a sun setting kind of thing because the bottom of the clouds are pink... and she's got her sword out too.
_{(I'm also proud on how she came out too. )
((I was going to draw her riding her silver dragon Icemoon but I don't know how to draw dragons and dragon wings in general... so I had to sadly scratch out that idea and just have her like that. ))}

Now about all of them — I colored their eyes just as the description of them said to and I even colored in Felicia's ring but the lighting sucks over here and my phone is a bit of a derp too.
I love how they all came out.

I'm sorry that my penmanship sucks...

All right, that's all I wanted to say and the second entry is in slow process.
