I Shall Not Apologize For ART!

The Brain, portrayed by Anthony Michael Hall in The Breakfast Club, is pressured by his parents to be the best he can in school. He doesn’t fit in with the rest of the kids, even though he befriends them over the course of the film. He’s extremely intelligent, upright, and put together, to his detriment in the eyes of the others. Even though he does irresponsible or morally grey things, he views them as a net good, since he doesn’t use them for anything harmful (in his opinion). Extremely observant, he can clock things about others than people normally don’t catch.

‘The Princess’ was a role usually played by Molly Ringwald. On a surface level, she seemed perfect and put together, but has a troubled home life and a rough relationship with her parents.

‘The Athlete’ was portrayed by Emilio Estevez. Initially, he was a stereotypical athlete and bully. He was raised to follow in the footsteps of his father. Over the course of the film, he learns to accept himself as he is and to not care what other people think of him so much.

Last of the gifts I made for my coworker! I haven’t read all of crescent city but Bryce is my favorite character design out of the SJM protagonists. I also got sick of people drawing her too pale and too skinny so I wanted to give her an appropriate body type to how she’s described. I also wanted to give her actual bronze skin, but just a slight tan (if that). No shade to other artists, darker skin is just more fun to color.

Part 1 of my secret Santa gifts to my coworker. Her favorite author is SJM so I drew all of the main characters from each of her series starting with, of course, Aelin from Throne of Glass. I wanted these to have ‘official oil portrait’ vibes like you would find in a castle. The illusion I wanted was for it to have an oval golden ‘frame and nameplate’ when it was actually framed. I think it turned out pretty cool!
