Arting things!

It's probably a good idea for me to draw someone other than Leofric every now and then, so, here's my idea. If you want me to sketch a character of yours, post a comment with the information requested below.

Important Notes
I'm talking sketches, like these, not finished pictures or even clean line art. Also, while I will attempt your character(s), I can't guarantee I will succeed to a point I feel comfortable sharing.

If I do, however, I will give you a link to it.

Required Information

  • A physical description of the character in as much detail as you can manage: species, hair color/style/texture, eye color/type/shape, face shape, nose, mouth, height, body type, other notable features. Clothing style, if relevant. Image references are welcome but not needed.

  • Description of the character's personality. Confident, irritable, sassy, shy, aggressive, intellectual, nervous, likes to read, athletic, has a passion for ice cream, etc.

  • Anything else you think is relevant.

EVERYONE!!

Okay, not everyone... *runs through the list*

My first really strong desires are Karida and Noam.

Karida is:

6 ft. 1 in. tall.
skinny build.
shoulder blades-length perfectly straight mouse brown hair.
hazel eyes.
light skin.
hands is notable in some fashion


Sooo, she's a lean, muscular woman with straight hair, usually pulled back into a ponytail. Her hands are short and stubby-fingered, even without her change. She tends to lean backwards a lot; she's putting weight on her tail, although you can't see that with her Mask up.

Her face is angular - his chin - http://hairremoval.about.com/od/menshairremoval/ss/men-eyebrows_6.htm - thinner eyebrows than that! Her hairstyle is for practicality, so it's all one length, although she likes to tie a scarf into it.

The scrounger-folk have a bit of gypsy in their concept; they like bright clothes when they can get them (I know this is B&W, just picturing).

She has B-cup breasts, a thin waist, and notable hips (A narrow hourglass)

She's wearing bdu-style pants - not too tight, not too baggy, drawstrings at the ankles - sturdy boots, a tucked-in shirt with long sleeves and a high neckline, and a large kerchief-scarf around her neck. She's carrying a large stick rather than a bladed weapon.

Karida is the "grown-up" in a very young (late teens) scouting team. She goes first, because of her personality and innate power, and she feel responsible for her team and what they find. She is rather serious most of the time, but still has a streak of naivete to her. She carries a constant tension when in the field.

Colors: bright, garish, clashing accessories over dull-colored pants, shirt, boots. (tan, brown).

CHANGE: Tail, Ears, and feet are Kangeroo-y.

OTOH, she is masked 99% of the time, sooo...

I picture him having a sort of pink-panther sneaking body language, clearly not that exaggerated - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcewCfVzecU&noredirect=1 ; he's skuling, sticking to the shadows, trying not to be noticed.

This is made difficult by the fact that he's very pretty to start with and his Change just makes him prettier. Butterfly antennae!

Some sort of face markings like http://bodypainting.semidi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Butterfly-Face-Painting.jpg in teal and blue, and then over his back a large pattern of similar wings. the "tails" of the wings go down onto his thighs, but those aren't commonly visible.

Not sure about his chest, thoughts?

His common clothing is jeans, baddy, and henley shirt, loose, in blues; he does try to match his face patterning so as to not clash.

Noam would love to be Team No Hat. Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. I think he was a shy loner in high school pre-Addergoole and got marked as a freak and less-kind things for that... I picture him being the kid sitting in the back of the room sketchining.

I want to turn him into an architect, but i have a habit of doing that to my characters.

The main character from my new WIP which is a somewhat dystopic post-apocalyptic science fantasy,

Laurel is a her early twenties. She's of average height and athletic build, with light mocha skin, green eyes and long curly black hair pulled back in a pony tail (sort of like this http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/cLSaHZ0d00Y/0.jpg only two or three inches longer). She's dressed in a black business suit (similar cut to this) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NysXNeJoDXw/TY-ryQNgqPI/AAAAAAAAALc/jMDLUA5NE1g/s1600/womens_suit2.jpg. It's obviously old but has been expertly repaired and altered to fit her.

Personality wise she serious and conscientious but she does have a sense of humour.

If you need more info just ask.

Eryk!!

Eryk

Eryk after his first year of Addergoole is a growly, strong, overprotective young man.

He has his mother's nose, brown curly hair that is Shiva's color and Ty's texture and kept very very short, and green eyes that go astonishing pupil-less blue when he shanges.

He's not all that tall, 5'8", slender, with a muscular chest and arms because he spent his teen years as a farm boy. he has a massive chip on his shoulder that he doesn't hide at all, frowning and glowering most of the time.

His skin is brown-tan with freckles over his nose and cheekbones, he is only not covered in childhood scars because of Aunt Zita's healing.

his change turns the hair blue, gives him ram horns, and adds blue hooves in place of feet, as well as blue kitty ears and tail.

http://www.kissingknowhow.com/images/teenage-boy.jpg Eryk's hair is darker, the nose a bit wider, but the curls are right when he lets it go and the face shape is perfect

Adorlee liked the hair that length; so the minute she freed him it was buzzed off. It looks like this - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XAePxwGya7E/R5Roy_iUoyI/AAAAAAAAArs/UDnRcBZEy1w/s400/justin.jpg - at the beginning of his second year.

Fauna
cy'Fridmar
Father: Abaddon
Mother: Genevieve
raised by Channing as her own
Female
22nd Cohort
b. 6/1/2001

Children
{list}

Keeper/Kept history
(I think someone animally tried to Keep her her first year and ended up intimidated into running away and/or being her Kept)

Description
Fauna is a beautiful blonde woman, her skin tanned from time outside, her hair golden with a natural wave (would be curly if short), her eyes a stunning blue. She's slender throughout, and as pre-Addergoole student was often very active, spending most of her time in the forests and fields. She was a track star, a soccer player, and an active 4-H member.

Born in 2001, she was ten when the world began to end, and eleven when her foster-mother and father moved her from a normal, suburban life to what her father called his castle and her mother called exile, a mountain cabin near several others. She missed her friends, missed school, and, more than anything, missed competition.

She has a mean streak that displays itself primarily in her competitive nature; she loves to beat others at things.

Her preferred outfit is a tunic-style shirt or dress over tights or leggings, with flat-heeled boots or sneakers She likes greens and browns, with some blue and very very rarely red. She most often wears her hair in a braid, or two french braids, like this - http://sportsgirlsplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/french-braids-for-gymnastics.jpg

Changes
Like both of her parents, her beauty only sharpens and increases, her skin becoming flawless, her hair growing longer and refusing to stay cut. The diamonds her mother has in place of horns are, in Fauna, true horns, not quite the bone crown her father has, but a series of five, the one in the center of her forehead being the longest and most opalescent, while those at her temples are more grey and half the length of the center one, and the points over her pointed ears

Innate
She can intimidate animals - and particularly beastie fae - into doing her bidding.
