Character Design: Faith (Lead)
Faith is the organizer of the group in an unreleased young adult story I’m illustrating. She is confident, quick-witted, and driven, with a carefully controlled exterior.
Design notes: a deep green zip jacket, long dark curls, and an athletic runner’s build. Her default pose, with a hand on her hip and a raised eyebrow, shows command first. Soft digital painting style with a deep green and warm brown palette.
Part of a three-character set. More to come.

Character Design: Caleb (Lead)
Caleb is the quiet protector in an unreleased young adult story I’m illustrating. He is reserved, dry, and watchful, with a hardness he wears like armor.
Design notes: a rust hoodie, tousled brown hair, green eyes, and broad shoulders that curve slightly inward. Scraped knuckles hint at his history without explaining it. Soft digital painting style with a rust orange and charcoal palette.
Part of a three-character set. More to come.

Character Design: Emma (Lead)
Emma is the protagonist of an unreleased young adult story I’m illustrating. She is self-conscious, dry-humored, and always one step from hiding behind her phone.
Design notes: a plain blue hoodie as her constant, a slight forward curl in the shoulders, and tired eyes to show guardedness. Her posture and expression are built to open up as the story goes on, while her features stay the same. Soft digital painting style with a muted, cool palette.
Part of a three-character set. More to come.
