Super update!
Thanks to Mei for getting me a "Draw Something Everyday!" sketchbook for Christmas. I didn't receive it until about Feb though, but it's helped me tremendously. I started out hating everything I drew for the first month, but I did manage to draw something everyday. I had my first hiccup last week by missing my first day since starting, but that was a 83 day streak! This sketchbook has really helped me find that bit of effort to just do something every day too, other than filling a small page with little drawings and scribbles.
But the subject of today's DD is what I've been drawing a bit lately. She's the first OC of 2017.
Her name is Sakura, but that name probably won't stay. She's not fully developed, but she is a fashion designer in Val Royoux. Born from tal-vashoth parents who left the Qun to settle in Orlais. She's a rising star in the Val Royoux fashion scene, having piqued local interest with her previously unseen or heard of hybrid mesh of Orlesian and qunari motifs. Her high profile keeps her safe from Qunari assassins too. She also has some wealthy Orlesian patrons that pay for extra security for her. She's aware that fashion and popularity come and go in Val Royoux, so while she's climbing the social ranks she must consistently put out designs and modelling work that keeps Orlais' elite interest.
I have no idea what to name her 'cause I'm not savvy with Orlesian naming conventions. Ssssoooooo.
Making her an rpg character will be interesting. I think she could make a good rogue. Not so great at combat, I don't want that to be a strength, but maybe she could be good with rapport, deception, bluffing and inspiring. Maybe intimidation? Definitly will have some skill with sharp little needles if required.
