Let's hope that this year is more gentle, kind, and comforting to all! The past few years have been rough, so I am hoping & praying that 2023 will the polar opposite!
First fan art of the year! I drew this for my son last month, as he loves Minecraft Story Mode. I had previously drawn the 6 main characters and then the Blaze Rods in my style (please check my gallery/archive to see them). I decided to draw MCSM season 1, episode 7 ("Access Denied"), after the main 4 enter the desert biome & come across those zombies with the glowing eyes. I ran out of room to draw Ivor, though! Jesse is supposed be holding that enchanted sword of his. (I guess it depends on how you chose the character & the weapons, as to how it looked for you.) I find that weapons are hard to draw, even if it is something as "simple" as a sword.
I hope you like this! It's fun to draw the characters in my style, to give them a bit of a semi-realistic style (mixed with my manga/graphic novel style), and also figure out how their outfits may look. I'm not great that backgrounds & environments, so please excuse the background! This was drawn with Sakura Pigma Micron pens, then coloured in with a mix of Copic Markers & Ohuhu Markers. White accents were done with a gel pen. Sparkles around Jesse's sword was done in Photoshop Elements. I also added in the clouds with Photoshop Elements, since the sky came out a bit streaky with the markers. (I may go back to watercolours for backgrounds...I haven't used watercolours in 13 years!)
