Hello hello! It is finally time that I can reveal to you some character portraits I've been working on for the lovely author Shannon Messenger for her series, Keepers of the Lost Cities.

Here is our main girl Sophie! She was raised by humans in the modern world but finds out that she is actually an elf and belongs in the hidden elven world! Not only is she an elf but she was created as part of "project moonlark," and is one of the most powerful elves their world has ever seen. While trying to save the world with her friends, she also navigates adjusting to this new reality, going to school, and balancing friendships and crushes! It's a fun ride!

Some adjustments to her facial features had to be made towards the end of this portrait that the publisher wanted and you can see some of the other versions if you scroll through. I do like how she turned out though! ;)

You can scroll through to see sketches, lineart, and some previous versions!

Here she is on Shannon's Instagram

Since this is a commercial commission, I can't include all of the downloadable files that I normally would, but I put together some of the sketch images and iterations so you can see the progress. 📸✏️

It was one of the changes. (I love me some thick brows on characters. Haha). But also some eye shape and position stuff
