Chester, the Autumn Warrior

So, November is finally here and unusually warm first part of the fall seems to be over. I wanted to draw something special for the beginning of rainy, foggy and colder part of the season and I hope this little guy is it.

Chestnuts are typical for this time of year, so I created Chester, a brave little autumn warrior! I'm not completely sure where I was going with his design and I changed it a lot during the process. I found my inspiration in Roman warriors, but then I gave up on some initial features and ended up with this, let's say, Pokémon-like design. In one version he also had legs, but it looked a little bit weird.

I'm also not sure who he's fighting, it's just that chestnut's spiky husk looked like a good idea for a helmet with mohawk spikes and a shield, and a leaf like a sword or other similar weapon. Anyway, I'm mostly satisfied with how he turned out and hope you'll like him too!

Fall This In Your Style 2018

I know I'm a little bit late for "Fall this in your style" challenge, but we've had some some unusually warm weather so far and it still doesn't quite feel like fall yet. Anyway, I'm  unusually warm weather so far and it still doesn't quite feel like fall yet. Anyway, I'm supposed to draw what I usually wear and do in fall, so here are some examples.

I like wearing hats, so I replace my usual baseball cap with a gray beanie. The jacket has an interesting feature - you can remove the inner part if it's too warm, or attach it back when it gets colder, and that's why I like it so much. When it comes to trousers, I'm not imaginative enough, so I usually settle for plain blue jeans. Also, I don't make much fuss about the shoes - all they have to be is comfortable. The most quirky feature is my knock-off Doctor Who scarf, which - of course - isn't as long as I drew it 😁. I also rarely leave my home without an umbrella, just in case. As for the cup that I'm holding in my hand, the time has come again to enjoy all sorts of tea and although it's mostly green tea, I often mix it with some other flavours.
