Embra First Sketch Colored

This is the first-ever sketch I drew with my drawing tablet and equipment. I chose Embra, the main character of my Shantae fanfiction, for the first go.

She is a trans girl who Shantae finds wounded one day while fighting monsters. In trying to cure Embra of a magic venom, Shantae inadvertently triggers Embra's hidden destiny of becoming a half-genie herself. This gave Embra the body she wanted, with an unusual set of darkness-manipulating powers born of the genies' magic. This propels her on an adventure to figure out who she is and explore her past... All while fighting for the future!

Paint is... Blegh. And the blocky lines drive me nuts to this day, but I also can't be happier with how she turned out! It made me feel good about my odds of going forward with my plans to create webcomic stories! Embra herself may be featured in one of the first... But not as the main character!

Embra is a character created by me for a fanfiction (also written by me) of the Shantae series. (As such, I will NOT be labeling this as an original work, as I will do with all other fanfiction characters I create.) The characters and concepts for that series belong to Shantae creators Matt and Erin Bozon, and game developer WayForward.
