A new character design exercise: Louise Belcher as a Ranger. Little girl Ranger wearing a Vizzerdrix Helmet.
Seriously now, when I saw Dave Dorman's Vizzerdrix illustration on a Magic the Gathering card back in the Early2000s my younger self thought that the creature was a common RPG foe. As a result I incorporated it into my Homebrew setting at the time. Mostly because I thought that heaving pink leather armour was a neat thing. So when I thought about pink bunny ears in a RPG setting I thought of my old pal the Vizzerdrix.
The earthy sap green dress is almost a uniform for rangers these days. Then I went ahead and added the gear for a double wielding weapon expert. Bow and arrow is nice and all, but I'd like to break that Ranger mold if can.
As far as the technique goes this one is all gouache! I have been putting more hours on my gouache technique. And I have been getting happier with it. Poster colours are more fun than watercolour on some techniques... like doing those fluffy fur pieces.

Great design, and I really like the how you painted the fur, not to mention the Vizzerdrix ears. Had to look that up, and seeing the card art brought back memories of Magic the Gathering. Love reading about the design process and technique!
