I need name suggestions!
This is the first time I have ever created an OC, and while I have fleshed out most of her personality, I really want the community to name her, since you have been such a big support of my sketchbook journey series!

(Personality description below the picture)



Species: Demon
Occupation: Owner of a bookshop

Personality:
[​Name] is an excitable, optimistic, and deeply passionate individual, particularly when it comes to the world of literature. She presents herself as approachable and unassuming, often donning a simple dress paired with a modest shirt beneath, eschewing makeup. Despite her tranquil demeanor, [​Name] harbors an intense curiosity, often venturing beyond the confines of her bookshop in pursuit of rumored discoveries. While possessing a strong sense of justice, she tends to steer clear of entanglements in others' dramatic affairs. However, when faced with injustice or adversity, [​Name] often tries to correct it from the shadows, only reluctantly tapping into her demonic powers, using the obsidian plates she carries, as the last resort.

Her abilities afford her mastery over three eternal flames and the shadows they cast. She uses the obsidian plates to shape these shadows, creating strong shadow puppets that can interact with the world around them. [​Name] Conceals these flames within lanterns scattered throughout her bookshop, so that her powers remain discreet, leaving visitors not to question her true nature. This practical approach to life, honed from her experiences evading trouble, underscores her adaptability to survive in any environment. Yet, as the (to her knowledge) only demon to have escaped the underworld, [​Name] finds that trouble has an uncanny knack for finding her, despite her efforts to avoid it.

Did a quick round of updates to the banners of my blogs. Made them more consistent, easier to read and more appealing to look it compared to the old squares:

When you're assembling 2 months of work in to one blog, and trying not to make it half a book. Also kind of hard to believe that the first part of this adventure has ended today (6th February).

Will post the first part of my new series "Sketchbook Journey" tomorrow

Hi all - not sure if anyone I knew back in the day is still active, but I logged on to reminisce and it seems like it’s been 8 years 🥲

I don’t know where the time has gone. I think we all look back at our old posts and cringe, lol. I’ve now graduated college, gotten married, and own a home.


Maybe someday I’ll make another skin for fun. I hope everyone is doing so well in life!
