Born at an early age, Rachel soon discovered pencils and began doodling fantastical things in her spare time. And sometimes her non-spare time.

#9 – Corus the Generic Dinosaur

Awwww.

Heavily influenced by the movie “You Are Umasou!” which I need to go finish watching right now.

Aww.

If a tree screams in the forest… well, no one really cares.
Arrrrrgh says the tree

#7 – Twirl

This is not anything like my usual style, but that’s what this challenge is for, right?

#6 – Pournell

I wonder what he is so avidly reading? Probably NOT Twilight. I’m not sure if he is a fantasy creature or an alien creature, actually.

#5 – Delilah

Delila the fairy pig feels very bad because of the popularity of Angry Birds and what it has done for the reputation of poor little pigs. 🙁

Looks like this crop ‘o gears is just about ready!

(Edit: Everyone is telling me this guy reminds them of someone from Spyro 2, but I haven’t played it, sorry!)

This fearsome hybrid never knows who to eat.

Mischievous, cute, and daydreaming.

2011 Challenger: Rachel Ross

I look too normal to be an artist in this shot.

Deceptively Normal Photo

Hi there!

My name is Rachel Ross (which is why I cleverly put it in the title), and I’m a technical writer from Ohio. I saw this site last year, and this year I am actually going to participate.

I like to doodle random things, sculpt, and make jewelry. My website is http://glimmerville.com but there is more photography and rambling there than anything else, though I also sculpt some Steampunk dragons and things. You can follow me as Nycteris on Twitter (though I am fairly quiet).  (Also I have an Etsy store.)

I’m not entirely sure if I am going to post my art using the Official 30 Characters Template,  but I am definitely going to draw 30 characters!

Hmm, I can’t seem to upload sample art.  Just… assume you are amazed at my skill. Ok fine here is my silly old dA site, full of dragons and thatched roof cottages*, and occasionally crudely drawn mad science.     *Well, actually just more dragons.

I promise my 30 characters will not be all dragons and ponies.

Seriously.
