Fy-Ee Portrait - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia. This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle. This will be a character portrait accompanying one of the short blurbs at the beginning of a chapter. I shared more about these with the first post focused on these portraits. With most of these, I have an idea regarding their voice and placement in the book, but the fun part is that it is not set in stone and may turn into something very different from what I first planned. I present you with a Fy-Ee (name to come later). This piece came about because I wanted to draw a denizen of the Bazaar with a big weird ceramic hat... bowl... thing...on their head. Entirely by accident, we also purchased new bowls just after I made this piece. If you love soup more than anything, you will be sure to keep your bowl with you at all times!

These are the smallest pieces created for the books. There is something charming about a 5 x 5 image, and I have already framed them up. Here is a look at the sketch for the Fy-Ee to show where it started.
