User blog:Freefalling Lilacs/Fanart Friday!

The TDFF wiki is full of hundreds of unique characters, and each one is completely unique in personality. One thing that wikia has that's an added bonus to what you can find on a typical fanfic-based sites is that authors can upload images to go along with their stories. If there's one thing I like just as much as coming up with characters' personalities, it's creating a fun character design.

To celebrate the unique character designs on the wiki, I'm starting Fanart Friday. I'm going to have some extra time this summer and I always have the itch to draw, so some Fridays I'm going to post a sketch of a character on the wiki that's not mine. I can't promise it'll be every week, and the sketches will vary in quality depending on how much time I spend on them, but I think it'll be a lot of fun!

(And yes, I realize it's not Friday anymore. I missed it by a few hours but Fanart Saturday just doesn't sound the same.)

I'm picking the characters based on who I feel like drawing. I won't necessarily have read the entire story that they're from, but when their page or their story popped up in the wiki activity at some point and caught my eye. Though the first few will probably be based off of characters with images since it gives me a clear idea of their look before I draw, I hope to eventually be able to draw some characters who don't have a picture accompanying them. If anybody else wants to join me in drawing on Fanart Fridays, just tell me and we can put our fanart together in a gallery-style blog!



So, without further ado, Fanart Friday Week #1's character is Helen from Total Drama: Paradise Falls. Helen belongs to Bruno, whose art and character designs have always caught my eye. Seriously, check his art out if you haven't yet. I chose Helen to draw because I love hot and sassy female characters (if it wasn't obvious by the many in my own cast), and also because she's one of the characters that I can always picture in my head when I think of Paradise Falls.

I don't know who I'll be drawing next, but keep an eye out for this blog post to update on Fridays. For all you know, it might be one of your characters coming up next!
