Description My entry for sketch round number 17 over at . This is painted-bees ' character, Jin! He's a Vizier and a scholar, and tends to hoard knowledge and be generally surly to all and sundry. He's also a Kimet, which is an avian species that painted-bees has put a lot of time and effort into designing!

Hope you like it, painted-bees ! I almost forgot the specs, had to add them in last minute. Annnnd don't ask me why the moon is behind him, it just seemed right for the composition and the character somehow.

I knew I recognized that character! I love painted-bees ' work. I even had her illustrate the cover for my recent novel! Your interpretation of this character is great, by the way - definitely Jin, but with your own recognizable flair.

I know it's a weird thing to comment on, but I really like the way you blocked in the night sky here. Did you turn the page with it to do it? I'm totally rubbish at stuff like that. Haha.

Ah, I only end up smudging everything if I do that, haha. One of these days I'll train myself not to touch the paper with my hand.

Ha ha, have you seen this thing? Smudging is going to happen, especially with sketches.

I'm so glad you like how he turned out! I've always enjoyed drawing characters with wings and/or feathers, and I seem to have a long history of drawing your characters, so it was a good match!

Apparently she and her husband have plans for this race they've invented, so there could be something someday!
