I had to enter the OC Challenge again. I had to. I think this is the first time I ever entered a single Challenge twice.

So, these three are original characters from my story Survival Instincts. It's about to undergo some heavy editing, so I wouldn't recommend reading it right now. I don't want to confuse or give spoilers from the first draft. As for the characters, they are (from left to right) Dice, Naomi, and Marshall. I linked individual pictures of each, along with a short bio. Just click on their names.

Since I did the bios on other drawings, I'll just say some random things about each character. Naomi's favorite color is pastel purple. She wears a lot of pastel colors. Marshall is actually the characters family name. His given name is Freddy, but he doesn't like that name. Dice is ambidextrous.

If there's anything else about the characters or story that you want to know (like how I came up with ideas, designs, etc), please ask in my VOICE MEME. Seriously, I'm begging you. I started the meme last August and I only have three questioners. OK, done with my shameless plug.

Tools used:

• Pencil
• Sketch paper
• Eraser
• Ink pens
• Colored pencils
• Ruler (for the lousy attempt at perspective)
• Photoshop CS5 (for touch-ups)

Naomi, Marshall, and Dice are MY characters. Survival Instincts is MY story. Just wanted to get that out of the way. You can use the picture for a wallpaper or ecard, though.
