@Prochy_Jan Because I can draw, here are some crappy sketches I did (really) quick (aside from Ansy's collar and Makoto's hair).
1. Ansy (Answard/Ásvard/Ánsi), WWFSFG
2. Tomo, BtH
3. Makoto, TnC
4. Arata, TnC
Here is a current WIP of a Mucha inspired character portrait of Ansy/MC from #WWFSFG. I do illustration, character design and character art. (NOTE: Difference between character design and art is essentially that design = no visual reference yet, art = has reference to work with)
Finally done with my portrait of Ansy! The concept was "The Weather Mage", which is one of Ansy's many unofficial titles.
I wrote a detailed image description on my art account, so head over there (link to tweet in reply).

I seldom posts WIPs publicly, and certainly not on my non-art account, but I think more people following me here knows who Ansy is.
Anyway, I just want to show off his beautiful eyes (and hope you don't see the otherwise terrible colouring). #WWFSFG #amwritingfantasy
@Prochy_Jan So the WIP of choice is WWFSFG or When the World Falls, I'll be Safe from the Wrath of God, which is a multigenre NA fantasy series. Also, it's very gay.
The main character is an OP mage (and that was literally the concept I work from). Random fact... Ansy's lactose intolerant.
@Kiraofthewind1 These I already have:
1. This is a embarrassingly awful sketch I've done with what Elemental Mages wear though I made for some question in the document. Ansy to the left, Ashyll to the right. Ansy wears a similar cloak too.
2. You see a bit of what Ansy wears in colour here.
@Kiraofthewind1 But it does make me sort of productive at https://t.co/Yq71qGDau8 tonight and Ansy's not very happy face. xD
@Valerie_Storm This is one of the few that's been released (and also the first proper drawing I made of Ansy).
Sharing WIPs came up, & it just made me want to share the drawing of the Eastriver witch (Ansy) I made last year, & just because I can, I'm throwing in the art used for cover of Book I too.
Do I always draw Ansy's hair in motion because of wind? Not quite *always*, but yes.
@RosalynBriar We see a bit of it on the #WWFSFG Book I cover since Ansy's on the cover! I also have terrible sketch of what Elemental Mages generally wear (inner to the left with Ansy, outer to the right with Ashyll).
There are practical reasons to why he shows so much skin.
@Kiraofthewind1 @Valerie_Storm I think Ansy disagrees.

Image 1: he wears a floor-length robe and usually his hair down at his "home" Temple (Eastriver Temple). While travelling he wears a cloak.
Image 2: That's what's beneath the cloak and that probably looks a bit familiar.

I'm here to make a guest appearance. :P
I needed a break from my reading binge, so I've been drawing Ansy a bit.
Hour by hour WIPs to brighten your Christmas Day, I suppose?
I noted that this actually kinda parallels my first piece this year, which was the cover for WWFSFG, but are also opposites with Ansy being very exposed, or almost completely covered, and the mood in one is harsher while the other is softer. It was a very interesting coincidence.

I was going to finish the fabric and desaturate it a bit, and finish the earrings if time, but Raina kinda caught me while CSP was open, so…
