Assignment 2 for Character Design: three sets of characters + their modes of transportation for a fantastical race of some sort. I knew early on I wanted to go with insects, but as I started sketching out ideas I noticed it seemed to work better if the riders themselves were actually tiny, and the insects weren’t just jumbo-sized. In the end, I ended up working them all into the world that Fen inhabits! I imagine there’s a traveling racing event popular among pixies all over - the racers you see here are all clearly from different pixie “tribes”. These were fun to do, I just wish I had more time to make them a bit more polished. Maybe I’ll draw some more of these characters soon.
As for why they ride insects as opposed to just flying with their own wings... well, it is a sport, and that wouldn't make for as nearly as interesting a sport would it?
Omg THIS is really adorable and I love seeing little buddies for Fen and that she's not the only pixie xD that makes me happy. Overall, great use of shapes...you can clearly read their personalities just by looking at them. I think my fav is Leppi gosh what a cutieface.
