Sorina

Final piece for my digital illustration class this semester. The project was to design potential leave behinds when going in for interviews, so this is one part of mine, the drawing and painting being made specifically for this. The other cards in the leave behind will have other artwork of mine on them, but this is the general idea.

This is also the more conceptualized gypsy character Sita, with a name change and very small changes to her outfit. "Sorina" is the Romanian word for "Sun," which I found appropriate given her blond hair.

Character Sheet - Sita and Fin

From another assignment in my digital illustration, we had to design and create a character, and then put them onto a sheet. So, welcome to Sita and her canid, Fin. A Gypsy/Romani from Romania, she's gone through lots of changes from the start(The ink drawing on the far left is the very first sketch, and the far right is the more final one.)

She and Fin are both going through more changes as I draw them more and figure out the backstory for them. New costumes, possibly new name to go with her nationality, Fin will be changing species, etc. The rest of her development is purely for my own enjoyment. Gypsy characters always appeal to me, from the movement, the jewelry, costumes, everything about them.
