This is my entry to Jazzas January 'New resolution ' challenge of the month.

This is the first characters I've done in a traditional medium but I gave myself the benefit of the doubt and entered the open category anyway. I used watercolour with black and white pen for this piece.

As I'm only 16 I'm not very familiar with pre 90's games but growing up I was a huge fan of dragon quest IX and the characters seemed pretty similar to those in dragon quest III which was released in 1988. I decided to redesign the female wizard class as they were always my favourite class and she already had a pretty nice design.
