Soo, I already had the first character figured out. I just gave him a name and new clothes (I used a name generator for both of them, because I am not good at giving my characters names...) I tried to incorporate some snake poses in my scetches, too.

I created a moodboard on Pinterest mostly for my second character and the environment. (https://www.pinterest.de/saskiawilla/moodboard/)

I wanted to create two different personalities. So Rio is more desinterested and relaxed, while Dafina is more serious. So I tried to have their personalities show in my illustration. Both of them are warriors of the snake tribe in a dungeon. They are protecting the entrance of their village. But because there was no intruder in a couple of hundred years, Rio considers his duty as not necessary and is slacking of, which angers Dafina.

I unfortunately didn't took a photo of my refined sketch, but here is the inked and scanned in version. I really like how this turned out! I also used a gray pen for the crystals, because I want them to glow.

These colour thumbnails really helped me out. I'll scan in and do colour thumbnails every time now! And if I don't want to use my Copic Ciao markers, then I can just colour it in Clip Studio!

Here is my finished illustration. I had a lot of problems figuring out where the shadows and light should be. But I really like how the glowing crystals turned out, even though they are the root of my light/shadow problem xD

In the end, I'm proud of what I created. Thank you Jazza for this awesome class! It helped me out a lot!
