#hahaha.......

To be honest she's a soot (& ash?) witch. She's kinda amateurish and kinda sucks/is a flop in the witch community or whatever. I have never been good at creative writing/making stories, I've had this character since 2018 and still don't have a story for her, only ✨Vibes✨. She is kind of a self-insert but i like to tell myself she's not *just* a self-insert.

I have another character I made more recently who's a spidery ghost skeleton girl (not pictured here), she was initially separate but I figured out a way to connect them that makes sense & is interesting. I've only really thought about random details of that setup and still don't have any overarching story yet.

Here's some half assed expression exploration thing I did for a character design class in college, the important part of this is the hedgehog in the corner. Its funny because it has the same design motif as her you see... (black and spiky)

and here are the very first drawings I made of her in 2018, design has changed a little since then

I also like these kind of recent doodles, but I didn't put them at the top because oh my god shes in the same pose for all of these.....💔

One last thing, a design detail I like are the soot smudges on her cheeks that look like blush but aren't.
