The Makelani Family x2

Hey Hey!

It's been quite a while... again. I'm sorry but with the end of my degree I've been so busy, trying to finish projects. Today I'm showing you an extended version of my Makelani Family. I don't know if you can recall, but I've created a family and a story behind hit, i believe, last year, but there were a couple of characters missing so, in this semester, for my Concept Art project, I decided to finish it and explain the character a little bit more.

Oh, I forgot to say that I redid the already existing characters. I didn't change the clothes, but I basically turned them a little bit more realistic, as my skills have also improved a bit! ahah

So, here's a family picture!

This is a new character. Welcome Lance! He's not particularly part of the family but he's been working for them for a long time. He's kind of a grumpy old man and he gets along very well with Cassiel, the uncle, as they're both evil man. But, to be honest, Lance is just a tired old man who's ready to die basically, so he gets mad at everything, always.

This is Radley, as you already may know so I'm not gonna talk about him to much. He's the man of the family obviously but I tried to show that, actually, he's a very insecure man, as you can see in the first sketch on the left.

Another new character! I present you Nyra. The little girl who died in the fire because of her uncle Cassiel. Poor girl. She's a funny and smart little girl, always laughing and playing around ans that's why she went to the village that was still being built, just to play around inside the houses.

Here's Kaden, one of my favorite characters. He's very protective of his family, specially of Nyra, and he's ready to go after his uncle and do justice. In his free time, he likes to play football and show off because he's kind of vain. ahah

Another existing one, Mosi! I think she turned out really beautiful in the main drawing. She is a very quiet and peaceful woman, a very humble and worried mom, so needless to say, she was very devastated when they found Nyra dead.

Veema was the first new character I created to complete this story. I was thinking about a very chumby and cheerful old woman, more like a grandma, although she's a maid, who does almost all the house work, besides Lance. She's totally the opposite of Lance, she's always happy and ready to help the family and despite the fact that Lance is the most grumpy man alive, she's always trying to play with him and he gets really annoyed and she finds it really funny. Veema is also one of my favorite characters.

And finally, the horrible Cassiel. This time I try to bring out his evil side even more. I drew him more suspicious, more full of himself. Well, there's not much else to say about him. Shame on you, Cassiel!

So, that's that!

I really hope you guys liked this new version of the Makelani Family. I took a long time to finish this project and I look forward to add even more drawings of them interacting with each other and maybe some backgrounds, as well.

See you very very soon!

Thank you a lot! xx
