It is a little late but I did come up with a couple ideas! Hope you guys like them :))

🐕🌻 Here’s my entry for this month's challenge for the character design challenge. The porcelain parade conductor is an enchanted doll crafted from fine china and silk by a curious sorcerer toymaker. With a wave of her baton, the conductor can manipulate bodies of water into a marching band of musicians and performers at will, bringing magic and life to the cities of small creatures and critters alike. The conductor’s cheerful leadership and heart of gold have regarded her as a memorable guest throughout every performance in mystical maritime towns. Most of my design ideas for these images and my theme are connected to another art challenge I wanted to try, centered around the theme of "parade." My immediate impression from these photos conveyed a sense of elegance that I wanted to incorporate into clothing items, and I experimented with various styles of hats, skirts, and dresses. I also aimed to explore incorporating different textures, patterns, and shapes into various parts of the outfits. I found it enjoyable to join in on this exercise again to help practice thinking of small ideas and practicing some new art in between being busy with other things. ^ ^

I decided to have another crack at creating characters based on the imagery given. At first I was creating whole figures. I liked the ideas but wanted to focus more on certain aspects of the characters. I decided to add some ideations focusing more on upper body only. I particularly liked the Vase inspired porcelain lady. I liked the idea a lot and decided to hone in on it and create 3 full body variations of the idea! I am excited to take the idea further into a rendered illustration later on :)) I welcome any feedback and critiques! Let me know what you guys think 💜

This is my interpretation of the reference images given. I enjoyed the challenge, its very refreshing drawing something based off of imagery and it really was a lot of fun! This is a Cross-Planar Traveler, a Nomad, if you will. She is always exploring new realms with a detachment from Society and Material. Would love some feedback! Mostly on Silhouette as that is something I would like to improve on. If you see something else worth commenting on, please do! Thanks! :)) I initially had planned on creating a mage as I found the imagery very magical and noble but as I began creating a figure, if came to have more of a "wanderer" vibe. With the colours I chose, the Vase was a bit more difficult to incorporate. So I stuck with only incorporating its form on her pants and legs minus the colour. I wanted to emphasize her skin look so I included a closeup image of her hand. Really happy with how it came out and look forward to creating more characters!
