YEMENJA BY AYLA CHARIPAR

This sketch of Yemenja from NEVERMINDS was drawn by Ayla Charipar at the 2012 Wildpig Comicon. Ayla is the daughter of Andrew Charipar, who was the artist on Serpenta's story in the SENTINELS Anthology and is the creator/writer/artist of Tales from the Cornerstone. Andrew had a table at the conventions and Ayla was drawing a little bit at the show, so I asked her to sketch in my sketchbook. Ayla doesn't like to draw hands, but Yemenja's hands are different than normal hands, so she put them front and center in this sketch, lol. I thought that was pretty funny. I'm also amazed by the fact there are two generations of artists in the Charipar family that draw so well. Please check out more of Ayla's work here!
