Maria

It has, yet again, been far too long since my last update. I have had a ton of work to do both at and for the university. I have also been writing a larp, so basically I haven't had as much time as I used to have to draw. Nevertheless I'm updating this blog.

Maria - pencil

Maria is my first larp charachter ever. She was a fisher who was quite a loner. Half of the game she sat on a bench beside the campfire. She didn't talk much which suited me quite well, as I was new to the whole larping stuff. It was a basic vampire larp, aka there were three vampires whose goal was to kill everyone and I am quite proud of the fact that Maria did not die. If I remember right, she had a nephew of some sort... or was it a son... I don't remember. Nevertheless, she tried to take care of him. Neither she nore the young man got killed. When the game ended, one of the vampire players actually came to me and said he would have killed me if I hadn't all the time been surrounded by people. Then I told him that I was surrounded by people only when he came to the campfire. Oh, the irony. I must say it sounded quite cool when somewhere in the darkness I heard a scream: 'ANOTHER CORPSE!' It was a great feeling.

I used just pencils in the picture and tried to focus a bit more on the folds of the clothes, especially the coat. It's quite sketch like but so it's supposed to be.
