CloudyKatt's Castle of random nonsense or something idk

first up Dex! i really like Dex he's nice :) i'm pleased with this drawing, its nice enough, i think i did well with the hair

i don't have the most thoughts on Dex as a character but i like him, i found it kinda interesting when he didn't like Fitz, like Sophie used to be part of multiple distinct groups and now they've mostly condensed into one "lets save the world!" gang and the drooly boys are completely irrelevant lol Dex is very much the best friend character which i value (we don't think about the crush cuffs)

Next is Biana! i love Biana, i kinda forgot how she was always described as "the most beautiful girl ever" until i looked at the wiki, and its like, okay, guess the Vakers are just pretty like that lol

as far as i can tell there isn't official art of her with her scars and that makes me sad :( i made sure to include them for this :)i love her character arc learning to accept and be proud of her scars

and last is Marella! this drawing is my favourite and making it i remembered how peak she was, its kinda sad how she and Sophie drifted apart

first up is Keefe! Keefe is my absolute favourite character in kotlc, basically from when he's first introduced but espec from Exile. i remember when i was reading the series for the first time and i was like "no Sophie, when will you realize Keefe is your true love" everytime there was a sofitz moment lol

he was a lot of fun to draw, espec the hair, i gave him a silly braid because i recently figured out how to draw braids and i went mad with power (also it looks nice)

i think Cassius goes for extremely professional, dignified, practical hairstyles and Keefe does the complete opposite and tries to have fun with his hair and thats how the legendary hair came about, endless work, care and products only for it to look like you have bed head/silly

also according to the wiki he has very long eyelashes so i feel completely justified giving him stupid dramatic lashes :D

next is the moonlark herself Sophie! you'd think she'd be first considering she's the protagonist but Keefe gets favourite character privileges. i really like Sophie though :)

her hair was a pain, i don't really now how to draw straight hair, i gave her a silly braid to match with Keefe (it was probably his idea) i also gave her silly round lashes because idk they're cute, also contrast with Keefe whose more sharp-ish and i guess you could say they're kinda like feathers cuz moonlarks are birds so she's a bird? idk

i don't have that much to say about her but i really like the way her character progresses over the books, its pretty cool :)

and last of all Fitz! my opinion on Fitz is kinda wibbly, i didn't mind him on my first read through, i kinda really didn't like him on my reread, drawing this made me like him a lot more though so currently i'm neutral, i like him more in fanworks than in the books tbh idk

his hair was the worst, i hate drawing short masculine styles ;-; i think i made it look nice though :) i gave him darker skin because i saw some really nice fanart basically
