I take my hat off to you folks for your hard work in trying times. I tagged my assignment as "Challenge Yourself" because it was quite an ambitious project for me. I didn't complete the work to the full extent of the scope I wanted, but was still very pleased with what I accomplished. -- First challenge - this was my first (completed) fanwork for this fandom, Namesake. *waves hands at half-finished fics* -- Second challenge - I drew all three requested characters plus one other, dressed up for Hallowe'en. Perusing the Community Challenge tags, I got it into my head to dress them up as the band KISS. (Plan A was to have many of the other characters in costume in the background at a party. The world has been mercifully spared the sight of Ben Kench dressed as Colonel Sanders.) -- Third challenge - sooooo many details go into those KISS outfits, omg. Sooo many hours perusing the band's official site and other merch sites. Dudes, you go, your legacy is a thing of beauty I did not fully appreciate during your heyday while I was in high school. (I was into Cheap Trick, what can I say.) I had to work those details onto the character design of characters I'd never actually tried drawing before, and then figure out which ones to amend to make a visual story that fit with these characters. I was not up to a fourth challenge - learning to draw digitally. Nopenopenope not yet. I was deeply into InkTober, so I thought it was a natural fit to do this picture as B&W ink as well. Sooo much black ink, time for a new set of Fineliners, I reckon. 9/10 would participate again. Thank you again. wavewright62
