This is Schenza, a character I made up when I was little. Not as an imaginary friend but more like a muse, in lack of better words. I probably have made up a million little stories about her and whenever I’m asked to make a character in games and such I make her. If I was into role-playing I’d play her all the time. I used her name as my online alias when I was a teenager.
But I’ve never been able to draw her, every attempt has failed. I have no “artistic feeling” for human anatomy so I find it difficult drawing faces and characteristic features. And I have a clear vision of what she looks like, so I get frustrated when I can’t translate the image in my head to the paper. Until now!

I was just sketching random stuff while watching tv and all of a sudden this appeared, and it is her! This is Schenza, this is what she looks like
Now I’m just afraid to do anything with it because I’m certain that I will ruin it if I try tracing it and adding colours and such…

Anyone else have a character like this, following you around in your head? Or am I just crazy? *LOL*

You call that being bad at human anatomy?! You must be more skilleded with human anatomy than you think because the drawing is great!

Omigosh that’s so cool!!!! I love her! I also love how distinct her nose is. It seems every character you see has a cute little button nose, big dinner-plate eyes, and luscious lips. Typical. But Schenza is actually really unique-looking!! Good job. <3

I totally know what'cha mean by the way; Vigana has been my text RP and LARP character for forever. She is now one of the lead characters in my webcomic, Wayward Fall. I have done a lot with her. <3

Maybe you could expand upon this character as well, and even post some of your stories…? I'd love to see!

She’s stunning!! Really really lovely!

I have a character in my head like that too! So you’re not alone. I call her my inner Superhero and for years and years I didn’t know how to draw her (i kept trying to make her human). Once I realized my inner super hero was a cat, it all came together and Vandessa was finally brought to life! Tee hee!

I really love your emoticons by the way!

You are no crazy! I have my own characters too, although I am certain that in no way would my drawings of them looks as awesome as yours!

Thanks for the nice comments I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one with other people running around in my head

@ Taversia – Her nose is my fav part too! And the part I’ve struggled most with I’ve noticed the cutesy character thing too, I guess it’s real easy making a character sweet and pretty, especially girls. It’s not even a concious decision, it just seem to happen.

@ Christine – Aww, that’s so sweet I kinda figured Van is your special character, she seem to show up everywhere around you, not just in the comic
