In feburary I did a challenge to draw a bug each day of the month. Which I did, and heres the process for most of them. Some were done traditionally so don't have a process vid. If you want to see them all check out my profile.

I also want to do a huge shout out to @nestodibuja who did some 26 or 27 bug drawings! That's awesome work. Your getting the promised 5HSIB from my initial challenge post.

Seriously check out their work.

Dustin the Demonslayer drawing process vid

Dustin would really like to spend his evenings playing basketball but demons keep showing up in his court. He'd also really not sure how a sword this big is so light. He got the sword and magic from a demon he killed kinda by accident. It showed up while he was shooting hoops and the ball ended up down the demons gullet and it choked on it. He's also not sure why slaying a demon gave him magic but it did. And it's fun.

And now the making of! Here's the prompt from the draw-a-day design challenge.

Main Prompts (Required): Your original character must include all three:

Oversized Accessories: Design a character featuring a large hood or wrap that defines their look.
Bold Color Contrast: Use striking colors like pink, purple, or brown to create a vibrant outfit.
Confident Pose: Craft a stance or gesture, like crossed arms, to show the character’s personality.
Optional Prompts (For Fun): Add any of these if you’d like:

Unique Wraps: Add an arm wrap, scarf, or similar detail for extra flair.
Wide Pants Style: Incorporate loose, flowing pants to enhance the silhouette.
Fantasy Vibe: Mix a fantasy or medieval style with the character’s outfit.

This is Slynath the Portalmancer whom I drew for the drawaday communities character design challenge.
I used a pose from the many excellent poses on https://www.adorkastock.com/sketch/

If you want to see the challenge check out this post on PeakD check it out here. https://peakd.com/hive-140877/@cabalen/character-design-challenge--shadowborn-drifter.

About Slynath.

Meet Slynath the portalmancer. They're a their that can make portals from shadow and light, and can get into, and out of anywhere that has even a little shadow. (meaning there needs to be a little light).

If you manage to ask them how they gained their ability, or what they are, they'll give one of any number of lies. They were the child of a witch and a shadow demon. They were given to fae as payment and this is what growing up in the fae realm does to a human. They were experimented on by unethical wizards during their childhood. Their mother was an adventurer and was almost killed by a shadow dragon while pregnant. And more.

They'll steal from anyone as long as they're rich, but they won't kill.

Thank you for watching! This is my first time adding voice to a video so I hope it worked well enough.
