Well, I mainly put this up as proof that I am working on fanart. I apologize for the lack of... well... anything. I seem to be ending up with sparse portraits.

These are meant to be just concept sketches (which is why they are in my scraps) of my impression of Hope and Powerful Tenderness from the Firekeeper series. I figured that so much of the wonderfully colorful cast of characters was being largely ignored, so I decided to focus on a large number of characters all at once!

Unfortunately, the scanner I used left out about half the pseudo-detail and barely noticed the rest. So, they may be a bit hard to see. Oh well. I'm still working on it.

Anyway, these are just two of many sketches I did of these two. (The rest were just too atrocious to put up, even in scraps, but they were helpful.) I wanted to emphasize their human dignity while also keeping their unsettlingly alien qualities.

I was tempted to make Powerful Tenderness a lot more bestial, but I wanted to make him look like a leader also. It was difficult keeping him from looking like a yeti. Hope is easier in concept but harder in getting down on paper. I didn't want her to just look like a lady in a bird suit. So, I've been going through different types of bird qualities (crests, necks, predator vs. songbird, etc). The only thing I know is that she is blue. In any case, they are both still under construction. Does anyone have any suggestions?
