One of the exercises asked in the comics course was creating and studying a character by drawing her in 8 different poses: front, profile, ¾ view, behind, standing up, sitting, lying down and lean against something. I’ve taken the opportunity to work on a character I created a very long time ago.

Lucie is a long-tailed female rabbit. She’s 12, her fur’s white, she wears a blue top, a pair of shorts made of jeans and a little red flower near her ear. At the beginning, when I was drawing her, she had no shorts at all; she was wearing only the blue top. When my friends wanted to draw fan arts of Lucie (especially ~cuteychao and ~gospel ) they added this pair of shorts that, I must admit, suits her very well ^^

Lucie lives in a little pleasant village that hasn’t been invaded by the urbanization of the country; this is why, in her land, we can walk in the wood, observe the trees and flowers, and listen to the birds that, often, land on your hand when you give them a bit of bread. She’s a nature lover anyway ^^

Lucie is a very nice and peaceful girl who has this wonderful quality to want to help everybody who is in the misery without any personal interest. She’s very sensitive, this is why the state of the planet outside her village –hunger, violence, disasters, injustice- makes her feel depressed, sometimes guilty, which will lead her, in her future life, to do everything to calm down the distress of weak people and to help the children to cheer up and show that life isn’t a fatality. Perhaps some people that are reading this comment will say it’s a typical and naive profile I’ve created, but everybody would be happy to have someone like her in our life.

At the beginning, Tails was her boyfriend, but as I want to re-use my character later in my professional life, and as I haven’t the right to use a char that’s already under copyright (yes that’s Sega ), I’ve decided she has no boyfriend at all for the moment.

The worst is that I totally suck at creating a definitive world and stories, this is why Lucie might live in our modern time, or in a RPG-like ancient time where knights, wizards and powerful empires were dominating the world, or… I don’t know at all, there are many possibilities I can do, but which one could be the good one??? I‘m thinking of the concept of the little nice innocent girl that could become a kind of priestess, mastering several kind of magic and helping the heroes to foil the plans of the bad guy of the story :/

To come back to my work, I’m rather satisfied by some of the poses I made, even if I personally think the face pose and the walking one at the left-bottom corner don’t great (it’s the head I think I haven’t drawn correctly). Anyway, the teacher of the comics course marked this work 9 out of 10 O_o Woah!
