I couldn’t fit all of her hair into this side profile, but it was fun to draw :D Janai has an excellent character design 😌

I rarely do fanart, but Tenzin is an exception 😌

She conquered the streets like a queen.

Some sword design love 🗡 💕 . . . . . . . . #baroque #baroquestyle #sword #sworddesign #gold #design #lineart #lineartwork #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalpainting #art #illustration #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #artofmerm #mariam #mariamhaidar https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfalIQFuqp/?igshid=4j0c4y1pn77a

 “Beyond the Seaside”, a small project I did in December 2020. I was trying to practice techniques in comic making and story telling. :)

Pages 1 - 3 of my short comic for the JaNoiry art challenge I did this year :) It ended up being 13 pages total. You can find more details about the challenge in my comic posts on my instagram.
