The views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Aerys Sports.

Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.

Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).

Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.

Printing out references of all my friends’ characters so I can draw them if I’m not on the computer and whatnot!

I really like drawing my friends’ characters. It’s actually one of my favorite things in the whole world.

First seven characters are done for the OC Mural II! L-R: Megan, Pumin, Kaye, Vadim, Randy, Victor, ChazGELF. I’m doing them in sets of seven, so I’m going to try to get sets 2 and 3 done ASAP (there are 21 characters to draw total).

Updated status on the OC Mural II! Pumin and Kaye have been added to the left. I’ll probably draw this as three pages with seven characters each and merge the images together so all 21 submitted characters are in there!

In my few lucid moments lately, I've been working on the sketches for this. →

Once they’re all done, I’ll scan them in and you all can tell me if there are any changes I need to make for the final drawing! Your advice will help me improve, after all!

For now, though, I will probably conk out again. Ugh.

Hey, remember when I did this? Yeah, I’m going to do it again! I’m obviously crazy or something. Actually, in all seriousness, I’ve got time on my hands and I have a fixation on drawing other people’s characters, so if you want to be in the Original Character Mural Project Part II, let me know - reblog or reply to this post and tell me which character you want included, and I’ll add them to the list! C’mon, join in! It’ll be fun! EDIT: So far, the following characters are in: Victor O’Connor (belongs to filecreation) Frezgle (belongs to Frezgle on Nabyn) Cio Illuvello (belongs to codetta) H0n3y or Daisy (belong to honeydoll) Renee (belongs to r3n33gurl101) Mørgan (belongs to Sploof) Pumin Legrottaglie (belongs to Pumin) Megan Riveira (belongs to Meleni) Rigor or Noir (belong to MortisReptis) Kaye Devin (belongs to colorfulrhapsody) Katy or Aelys (belong to spadiekitchenqueen) Gabe the Robomantis (belongs to Icarus) Chaz GELF (belongs to Chaz) Ryx (belongs to Pink-Painter) Vadim (belongs to XxPeekabooxX) Phazon (belongs to Phazon) Randy Bright (belongs to Oddoly) LennieFish’s robot [real life images, too!] (belongs, obviously, to LennieFish)

Remember when I did this? I’m suddenly tempted to do it again. Yeah. Those are a bunch of my friends’ original characters that I decided to draw all together in one big picture for no reason other than the fact that I enjoy drawing other people’s characters almost as much as I enjoy drawing my own. If you want to be in the second edition of this (or commission me to draw your entire cast in one image like this or something), let me know! (You can reply to this post, reblog this post, or find some other way to let me know who you want me to draw…)

I DID IT! This was a labor of love and I greatly enjoyed this. Here, all complete, is the Original Character Mural Project! (L-R): Zane, Florence, Sasha (back), Suol, Seth, Liam, Rellara (and her falcon), Kalyn, Cial, Linette, Serenity, Junsuke, Rin, Kazuki, Zeev, Arisha, Roz, Sam (back), Lorain (back), Kalulu (front), Nod (front). I hope all of your characters came out okay - I tried my best! On dA: [link]

Eleven characters on the first page! I’ve got ten to fit on the second page and this has convinced me I’ll do it easily and merge the images together. (L-R) Serenity, Junsuke, Rin, Kazuki, Zeev, Arisha, Roz, Sam, Lorain (with Kalulu and Nod in front). I color as I wait for my ink to dry so I can erase my penciling. This image actually is a fairly good example of how I operate.
