No one ever asked, but if I were to redesign Harley Quinn I would probably do it something like this
I pretty much knew what this character was going to look like from the moment I thought of him, but I had to narrow in on some of the particulars. His costume is inspired more or less by Oliver Twist. Patches on the knee, boots too big for him, things like that. But vest or no vest? Big belt? What is that rag wrapped around his wrist? I think I centered on a pretty good design in the comic.
I’ve been writing a story set in a universe with all sorts of magical animals. Not just harpies, from Greek mythology, but also alkonost and gamayun from Russian lore, and garuda from Sanscrit. All of them. All the fantasy bird-people. So how to tell them apart?
This is concept art for the alkonost. In Russian lore they lay their eggs in the sea and cause storms, so it seemed natural to make them seabirds. This way you can easily tell them apart from the carrion bird harpies.
More to come!
Some concept art for my upcoming comic, The Field Guide To Magical Animals.
Awful birds, harpies. In Greek myths, like 90% of what they do is poop on people’s food. Gross.
I’m working on a comic called The Field Guide To Magical Animals. I’m not quite sure how I want to draw all of the magical animals. All of these are ways I could draw pixies, and still have them fit in the same drawing style with the main characters. I have my favorite, I think, do you guys have any thoughts?
I did this in the wrong order, I guess. I ended up designing the character as I drew her in the animation I posted the other day, and when the animation was finished I decided I liked the look of her so I did some character design doodles here. The costume is slightly different, and she has a badass scar now.

I did some character art based how Tyrion Lannister appears in my head, as I’m reading the books. Of all the characters, he probably differs the most in the show. Peter Dinklage is great, don’t get me wrong, and his voice is absolutely perfect. He’s just too darned handsome.
I should note that in my reading, I look a liberty of my own. (spoiler) The book says that Tyrion has half his nose cut off, but it doesn’t really clarify which half. I though it would be much more grisly a face if the top half were gone.
