This character that I made a long time ago "Kilara" - was one of the characters that for a long time I knew I wanted to create but was uncertain of how to even draw what I saw in my head. For years, I've honed my drawing skills to this very point of being able to see it and draw it. I used a ton of helpful references for body posing and for the first time ever, created a facial structure without needing reference of any kind.
Shortly after I created this character, I came up with a small drawing for a friend's art trend. Kilara holding a green heart. Since this moment, I've wanted nothing but to base her character design off of Green Hearts. Eventually, this design moved from a Green Elven Goddess of Poison to warrior, possessing ancient artifacts from a being she believes in called the "Ancient Hawk". The artifacts grant her powers that most would say are blessed from the Moon. From here, she called herself. "Moonheart".
It took a lot of work to bring this character to life, and I am so super proud of myself for bringing her this far.
