Following up Dawn's model sheet is my second model sheet for my new cast of characters:

As for her name, I decided that the setting should be not too far future, but for whatever reason people were taking on new surnames as they went to other planets for colonization. That sounds more like far future, but it will hopefully make sense when I draw some short comics and do a bit more explanation. One of Risa's ancestors was crew aboard some sort of orbit to planet landing craft.

I picked Risa second because Dawn and Risa are the most physically alike in terms of build and height, which helps me to check to make sure I'm doing my layout and design correctly.

I've created a sort of "cast" of characters with a unified design theme:

Now it's time to work on model sheets/turn arounds for each of them, along with some basic data and their names. Then I can move onto various scenes and short comics. I figured if I'm going to learn about creating comics and series and whatnot, I should really try to start from the start. Model sheets are really time-consuming for me, so this is a good opportunity to learn how to do them a bit faster.
