Sharla Reference

Finished May 2021. Made using Procreate.

I had made Miracle and needed someone to be her roommate. The whole premise hinged on her having a foil, Miracle is excited and poetic in her love for the world, so I needed a character that's a foil in a fun way. What I ended up on became Sharla, she's not a foil in that she's depressive or dower, she's her foil in that she's used to it all.

She used to be into parties, she used to be into dating, but now she'd rather stay home petting her cat, looking at hot girls on social media.

Sharla's look is inspired by a lot of the fashion dolls I had as a kid, a little bit of Bratz in her makeup and face, and I'll often draw on it for outfit inspiration (See: her outfit on the right in this piece having that fur coat which was inspired by MyScene Masquerade Madness Barbie's outfit).

In any case though, Miracle is her roommate (who is an angel) and the story I envision for them is just them slowly falling in love while wacky fish out of water type stories ensue.

I don't intend to make anything with Sharla and Miracle "long-term" (i.e. I just like thinking of them occasionally but have no plans to persue making an actual comic or consumable form of media with them, I just draw illustrations for them from time to time).
