Mid-Summer Story: Demi's Dream Adventure (3/3)

Hi everyone I thought I'd show the Mid-Summer Story which is based about another one of Rae's Friends Demi.  This project has taken a while to do as I've been very busy doing other things. Before I show the story here are the initial sketches for each of the character. The first one is Demi. I decided to make her wear something similar as to what she wore in the Summer Story. :

The next image is the initial sketch of Greg. He was created by the song 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' by Starship. I always found this song quite cheesy but as I was watching this music video, I realised that it would be interesting to create and introduce a black character. I did not want to make him completely have a similar hairstyle as the guy in the video so I chose to create an afro. Mostly because I hardly see anyone have one.:

Unfortunately, I didn't like the clothes that I put him in in so I changed it to suit the story, But I do adore these facial expressions for this creation.

The next initial sketches are for Lianna Sky and Regnald Blue. They would have been both human characters.:

Here is the next sketch of Reginald Blue him. These were created using 0.5 blue pen.:

Since I was not satisfied with them in this form so I decided to change how they would both look. Regnald now has long hair and also wears spectacles. Also he's another character that wears something regal. Out of the both of them, I felt that it would be Reginald who will be human.What you see from now is what Reginald will now look like:

Lianna is the nymph of this story. She now has long hair and long and large ears. Addition to this she has a long dress to go with this. I used a 0.5 blue ink pen to draw her. This design was thought of while I was at my Auntie's wedding reception:

Here is the story, just like the second Dark and Light Story, it is in the same colour scheme. Also B*Witched once again plays an role in this story. The album cover 'Awake and Breathe' and the song 'I Shall Be There' was what made me think of the concept. The bridge of this song was made me create images twenty-one to twenty-four:

Dark and Light Story 2: Prelude to Mid-Summer Story 3/3

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all well. Here is the Dark and Light Story 2, which is prequel to the Mid-Summer story.

Other than receiving a lot of views from many countries from around the world, the most views seem to be from the UK, USA and surprisingly Russia.

As a result of this I thought that would make the princess wear a 'Duniasha' (dress) and a Kokoshnik (hat). Her intended suitor is wearing clothes which is from Colonial America during the 1700's. The villian of the story is of course from the UK and I thought that I would create the dress that she wears.

Here are the initial sketches for this story. The first is of the Russian Princess and the Colonial Officer and the ring used in the story:

For the female Villain I made two character designs. The first one was inspired by Pink's song 'True Love'. featuring Lilly Allen. I likes the hairstyle that Lilly Allen had, but I chose not to use it was too common. So I did the second one and I felt satisfied.:

Just like my last Dark and Light story, this story will follow the same procedure, but the colours are different. The colours used in this story and also the Mid-Summer Story are based on the Irish girl band  B*Witched's second album 'Awake and Breathe' I adored the cover so much, that I thought I would follow suit with both stories. The song that inspired me to create this story was the track 'To You I belong':

I will be creating another Dark and Light story. This will be shown hopefully after I find out the short list of the Manga Jiman Competiton that is been held this year. Whenever I am or not part of the short-list I will be showing it around the month of January.

The next to follow is the pencil sketches of the Mid-Summer Story....stay tuned! \(^o^)/
