Since it's October, I'm doing what lots of other artists online are doing, and drawing from a daily prompt list

Day 12 of #Arttrober is Zero from the Mega Man videogames (specifically the X and Zero subseries).

I remember Zero from Mega Man X, where he rescues X in the prologue and generally acts like a cooler and haughtier version of X—but red and with a ponytail. There's probably more to his character than that. I only played a couple of Mega Man games, and wasn't especially good at them.

Day 13 of #Arttrober is Nadia from the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.

The Secret of Blue Water is one of those animes I'd heard of but never gotten around to watching, though what I've heard about it is intriguing, taking inspiration it appears from Jules Verne. Another one to add to the potential watch-list?

Day 14 of #Arttrober is Jessica Rabbit from the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".

My memories of the film are a little murky, but I remember it fairly fondly. Certainly there have been very few films quite like it. Or maybe, with the prevalence of CGI, every film is now like it, in an odd kind of way.

I might have gone a little too far trying to make Jessica sparkle.

Day 15 of #Arttrober is Fiolina (Fio) Germi from the Metal Slug videogame series.

Not a lot to say about this one, because I know next to nothing about Metal Slug and it's not really the type of game I play. But hey, it's an excuse to draw a new character.

Day 16 of #Arttrober is Guts, the protagonist of the manga Berserk.

I saw the first anime adaptation of Berserk many years ago, and later read most of the manga as was released then. I also watched the later anime series released in 2016. Things that stuck out: an evolving art-style, almost relentless grimness, Susumu Hirasawa's soundtrack.

I don't think I've quite captured Guts likeness here though.

Day 17 of #Arttrober is Snow White, of fairy tale and Disney movie fame.

I went for the depiction of Snow White from the original 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs film, since that's by far and away the most recognisable version of her.

I struggled with her face for this one. Not quite sure why. Mid-challenge fatigue I suppose.

Day 18 of #Arttrober is Chun-Li, one of the fighters of the Street Fighter videogame franchise. Specifically, Chun-Li as depicted in the Street Fighter Alpha games.

Even I know Street Fighter! Though I haven't played any of the recent ones. Or any fighting games, really.

I had to work on this one while travelling today, so frankly I'm glad it didn't come out a complete mess.

Day 19 of #Arttrober is Reika, a character from the manga/anime Gantz.

I did watch some of the anime adaptation, but it didn't really appeal to me—at least not at the time.

I think I need to rethink how I draw glossy surfaces and fabrics. I'm never really satisfied with the result. I guess I should do more art study, and develop a new technique. When I have more time perhaps.

Day 20 (20!) of #Arttrober is Scarlett from G.I. Joe.

G.I. Joe was something I was aware of as a child, but wasn't nearly as interested in as Transformers toys and media. So I really don't know much about the characters and storylines.

Another drawing tomorrow. Eleven to go.

Day 21 of #Arttrober is Shinguji Sakura from the Sakura Wars videogames.

Sakura Wars is another videogame series that passed me by, I'm afraid, so I know almost nothing about it.

Nevertheless, I do quite like drawing characters in traditional Japanese garb, and I got to practice drawing a character in a dynamic pose, so it's all good.
