New Look!

Ok so I got distracted even further from what I should be doing.

But as a result we have a new look for the blog! Nothing too fancy, added a background img and a new header but oh well it's something at least.

That's my namesake up there in the header, I'm quite fond of her new design if I do say so myself.

For those who don't know. I create characters and stories, it's a habit of mine from well... from being born probably. And somewhere in the years of my life I started re-creating the Arthur legend to fit my fancy, because none have satisfied me thus far.

In the evolution of that story (which is still on going) a character Branwen was created. She's the Celtic pagan side of the coin in my story which has a running theme of compare and contrast of Paganism and Christianty, and poor Arthur stuck in the middle of it all trying to make everyone work together (Why can't we all get along?)

She was created long before I ever took up the name myself, but I don't think she minds.

Here is one of the orignal concept pieces I did of her about seven or so years ago. She's changed in desing since this drawing but I still like the idea and should probably do an update to this.

Here is a side by side comparison of her old design (left) and new design (right). Basically I changed her hair color and texture and made her face more lean (that and my drawing skills improved lol). Her general attire is in various stages of armour, (and yes I do want to have made armour similar in the future)

From Pendragon


And this is a just a sketch dump of various character drawings. The left is a young Branwen (age 13 or so) And older cermional Branwen, Arthur and Gweniever. For the record ( as I have documented proof to back me!) I made Arthur's design years before I ever met Bran, any similarity you see between the two is pure coincedence or fate depending on your beliefs, so there =P

Also Lancelot was orignial in that sketch as well but frankly he anatomy was HORRIBLE so I cut him out lol. Still haven't really nailed down his design as of yet.

But yay...

So now you all are privy to more of the craziness that is my mind lol, it keeps me entertained at least.

Off to do things she should...maybe.
