Julien “Benji” Benito Is My Entry For This Month’s Character Design Challenge.

Some value and composition studies with Harvey

Here’s my version of Mark / the Tactician from FE7.

I know that the devs were just having fun and that there’s no way Morgan from Awakening being Mark from FE7 is ever going to be canon, but it IS a fun idea to just play around with 😁

(Please notice my Easter Eggs.)

Found this in my drafts from a year ago 😂

Li Yang studies (Will post more in the coming weeks)

Although fairly timid in appearance, the University student Li Yang was a writer-turned-political activist at the forefront of the Equalist movement in Republic City.

His original concept portrait can be found here

Born to two fairly wealthy travelling merchants, Li has seen much of the world and has extensive knowledge about the different nations. Despite being a frequent traveller, he and his family consider Republic City to be their home. Being a child from an upper-middle class family, he and his elder sister had access to great education. His sister, who was older than him by 7 years, studied in Ba Sing Se University and became an inventor. Li on the other hand, a child prodigy, began studying Philosophy in a University in Republic City at the age of 15.

Primarily a writer, Li was very good with words and although he appears soft-spoken and quiet Li is very articulate and can be a very inspiring speaker. He saw the injustices against non-benders, both in Republic City and around the world, and sought to change that aspect of inequality in the world. At the mere age of 16, he became one of the main proponents of the Equalist movement seeking to uplift and recognize non-benders.

When he was 17, he accompanied his sister to an international science fair held in Republic City wherein his sister introduced him to Asami, whom he bumped into earlier that week in an incident involving ice cream, and Hiroshi Sato. Li furthur impressed Hiroshi Sato with his will to uplift the non-bending population. He eventually became close to both Father and daughter.

When Amon became a dominant figure, Li openly spoke out against Amon and Amon's anti-bender ideologies. He denounced such radical ways of thinking (believing that it would eventually lead to violence), splitting the Equalist factions into two. He also mentions that discriminating against benders would just be like how non-benders are already discriminated upon. They have no control over being born as benders just as they had no control over being born non-benders. Deciding to not use their gifts of bending would be like stopping non-benders from using their own skills.

Near the end of 169 AG, Li Yang was hit by an automobile and died.

(Li Yang’s way of resolving the inequality and much of his personality is inspired by the members of the Illustrados from the Philippines during the late 1800’s)

A quick sketch of someone I met in one of my dreams a few months ago who I recently bumped into again.

I did a jumping sack animation for my class the other day.

My mom said it looked like a butt. I’m going to assume she meant a cute butt and take it as a compliment.

Harry Potter.

Another forgotten one from a year ago (2016) deep in the drawings folder.

Reiko.

Who says muscles and elegance in a woman were mutually exclusive?

Setanta Mahariel, Hero of Ferelden.

I’ve played as a Male Cousland for around three playthroughs of DA: O, but in light of DA: I reveals, the irony of a Dalish Elf having Mythal Vallaslin is just an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up.

SPOILER ALERT

Imagine the hilarity of a Mahariel Warden-Morrigan reunion after the events of Inquisition, wherein Morrigan drank from the well. So many possible scenarios.

“If anyone were to appreciate this situation, it would be your mother." “I can almost hear your mother laughing. Do the voices agree?" “Considering I tried to kill her, I guess we're pretty crappy servants.” “I tried killing one of my people’s gods... I make a bad elf.” “I should be called old god slayer!" “Talk about a controlling in-law…”

(also, I can’t decide between green or brown eyes. He had green eyes in my playthrough but Kieran has brown)

Sketches from Aventine, a gig I went to with some friends a few weeks ago. It was really fun.
