CHARACTER DUMP PT 3 (LAST)

Okay so I contemplated even putting this here, but it's just some more sketches of Shinji, Kaylah and Eli. I'm getting into their designs, trying to memorize and familiarize myself with them. I haven't been doing illustrations really, but I'm starting this week for my inking practice, so expect some finished pieces with a lot more atmosphere and personality! With this, I'm done sketch dumping!
It wouldn't have been this many except I've been saving them for two weeks. These are my favorites, but they aren't all the ones I've done!
Actually, I have five more I want to share but I can only post four on a myspace, so I picked one that's a little more choreographed to post as an illustration (I will not make a fourth post just for one picture!) if by some miracle you wanted to see the millionth picture of these three.

CHARACTER DUMP PT 2

Okay here's a better sketch of Lorenzo and Melissa. They run a cafe, she makes chocolate (of all sorts) and he makes coffee. He's from Italy, and he studied in America, which is when they met and got married. My sister chose the name Lorenzo. He's her favorite character! AAAAND they have a twelve yr old son, who happens to be very much based off my little brother. Actually, this outfit is his. I had him stand still while I drew it. He wears gloves, goggles, random stuff because he loves Digimon and wants to look like the MC's, who always have lots of accessories.

Anyways, Jojo has a problem wagon but I'm not gonna talk about that here. HIS ARM LOOKS LITTLE I KNOW MY SISTER KEPT COMMENTING ON IT BUT HAHAHA I DONT WANNA CHANGE IT!

I don't know if it's bad to release a bunch of sketches and info for characters you don't know or care about, but I guess I'm doing it mostly for myself to make it fun, even if no one looks at it. I love all these characters, and this is definitely the first time I've gone through so much character development for the first oneshot. I will say though that there's not a scary amount of information in the actual oneshot. (At least I don't think so.)

CHARACTER DUMP (LOTS OF INFO)

I COULDNT HELP IT I DREW SO MUCH AND I JUS WANNA SHARE
Well
I'm gonna!
I designed the characters who run the shops, and I love all of these people. I can't wait to show you guys their stories! I'm almost ready to start the manuscript now, but I'm really trying not to rush it!
Okay, so we have Luz, a novelty/toy shop owner, Lorenzo, an italian barista who married Melissa the Chocolatier (They run a cafe together), then Jelly and Mirin, a pair of high school graffiti artists.
Next is Shinji's friend and rival boutiquer who doesn't yet have a name, but she runs the boutique Lore. She's not a designer, but she meets local designers, jewelers, even cosmetics companies and stocks their items that she likes.
Then there's a 66 yr old wood carver, who actually was the first person to open a shop on Artisan Alley 20 years ago, before it was an actual street of shops.
THEEEEN we have Nancy, a photographer and mother of triplets (Barry, Ron, and Fred- I names them after elder men I know lol). She runs a gallery for her photography.
