Doodle 200 - Stories

Well, here it is, my 200th entry and I am pretty sure I am well over 200 doodles.

I really felt like drawing today, so I came up with three sketches, all of them seem to have stories behind them, and I'll try my best to explain what I was thinking of while I worked:

Mourning - blue and black mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 15 mins.
A young woman that has just returned from the funeral of a loved one reflects upon the fact that her life will never be the same and reminisces about the departed while taking a moment away from the rest of the company. She probably will allow herself a bit of time to cry, dry her tears and then return to her party.

Deliver A Mesaage Please - blue and black mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 20 mins.
This is a very beautiful and powerful sorceress who lives in a castle atop an incredibly high mountain. She is benevolent and constantly keeps watch of the people that live in her domain using a magic carpet and emissaries such as birds to deliver messages, remedies, comfort, courage or sage advice.

The Magic of Storytelling - blue and black mechanical pencil on plain sketchbook. Aprox 30 mins.
A traveling storyteller that is trained in the use of a magic basin, an instrument she uses to educate people with her stories.

I really love the last one, she is wonderful from the hair to the basin to the facial expression. I can totally see her in a book and I would read it.

Is there any chance of you making that third drawing available for purchase? It's gorgeous.
