#carnivalecity

Lyonel never speaks and only communicates through his art. He’s always the first choice for the important artistic commissions in the city. He’s the only artist trusted to paint the posters for the Freak Show. When he’s at his most powerful, Lyonel can even paint prophesies... #CarnivaleCity • • • #writer #writersofinstagram #fantasywriter #writerslife #novel #fictionwriter #fantasyart #fantasyartist #creepycute #drawing #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #characterdesign #originalcharacter #illustrator #illustration #graphicnovel #comicbookart #art #instaart #artist #penandink #penandinkdrawing #brushpen #traditionalart #fantasynovel https://www.instagram.com/p/BqseQGPHo4s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y427ct3gyaro

#inktober2018 Day 31: for my grand finale I drew another character from #CarnivaleCity! Her name is Laikah. She’s blind and a medium like Tariq (which means they share their bodies with other spirits). Unlike Tariq, though, she has many spirits and they are constantly changing. There’s so much chaos going on in her mind that she has trouble staying grounded in the real world. Although she’s an accomplished fighter, she needs to use a wheelchair when she’s outside the ring. Controlling the spirits uses most of her energy. Since her portrait is a little spooky, I thought she’d be perfect for Halloween 👻💀🖤 #inktober #drawlloween #halloween #spooky #creepy #creepycute #inkfeature #blxcksheepco #sketchbook #penandink #originalcharacter #characterdesign #writer #writersofinstagram #fantasywriter #clemtober #elentober2018 #blxcksheepco #instaart #instaartist #drawing #illustrator #illustration #disability #wheelchair #goth #gothart #gothgirl #spoonie https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmuFoRHt_I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12gyfbuf5f28s

#Inktober2018 Day 26: I’ve gone completely rouge and have pretty much given up on following prompts. Today, I drew another character from #CarnivaleCity. His name is Tariq. He carries the spirits of four gods. Every time he acquired a new spirit, it left a mark on his body. Hence the tiger stripes, snake scales, third eye, and fanged mouth on his chest. I got the idea for this character from watching documentaries about dissociative identity disorder. I found it so fascinating. One of the sufferers of the disorder said that her different personalities controlled different parts of her body. It made me think about what it would be like to have multiple spirits inside one body and how it could be an advantage if it wasn’t caused by such terrible trauma. #inktober #penandink #micronart #sketchbook #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #drawing #characterdesign #originalcharacter #art #artist #writer #fantasywriter #inkfeature #blxcksheepco #writersoninstagram #writerscommunity #fantasyart #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #chronicillness #chronicpain #autoimmunedisease #spoonie https://www.instagram.com/p/BpZ3O-8hvk3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qdoqgi9hk78y

#Inktober2018 Day 19: I didn’t feel like following any prompts today so I drew another character from #CarnivaleCity. This is Enoch Montezuma. He’s Libby’s best friend, even though he’s always getting her in trouble. He considers one of his best qualities to be his sweet dance moves 🕺🏽 I had so much fun designing his little outfit. He has Mexican heritage so I looked at traditional Mexican clothing for inspiration for the prints. #fantasywriter #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #characterdesign #writer #writerscommunity #writersoninstagram #penandink #sketchbook #micronart #inkfeature #drawing #illustration #illustrator #cute #cartoon #inktober #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #kidsfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHJdJxCUQv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5rjgg4v9m5pk
