Jahzel Misner - Designer

Some of my friends and I have started a drawing challenge! Every month we pick a subject and each draw our interpretation of the character. The purpose is to help us improve our very rusty drawing skills. Jerah has the first pick – this month’s subject is Jaime Lannister from the Song of Ice and Fire series.

This month’s challenge was a little bit rushed as we thought of the idea late and had less than a month. My version is done in an anime-like style, mouse-drawn in Illustrator and coloured in Photoshop. This will most likely be the last mouse drawing I do since I now how my shiny graphic tablet.

Here is Jerah’s version. We are the only 2 who participated this round. (Boo Chris!) Our versions differ quite a bit, not just in style but also the overall feel of the character. We were in different parts of the series and the character had changed a lot during the course of the storyline.

I moved to a new office at work and it feels great. I didn’t realize how negatively a tiny windowless office affected me. Now I don’t have to work from home! I very much enjoy separating work life from home. Otherwise I get use to thinking about work when I am at home. I feel motivated!
