Bombard me with Character Design ideas!

[Aldur]

I wonder how this works...*turns around*


Oh! Hello! I didn't see you there! Totally!


Alright,so I've been thinking. I kinda need to get out of my comfort zone again when it comes to designing characters. This means I'll take your ideas and put them on paper! Before we go any further,these aren't comissions. I am simply trying to get inspiration and whatnot.


This time, the sketches I'll do are completely free. (Even though I've never charged for them on this site)This means that if you for example give me an idea,I'll try to sketch it and post it here. I'm limiting this to around 2-3 ideas for everyone. Keep in mind that I'm not promising to poop out sketches everyday since this week is critical to my education,or so they say.


Anyway,what I ask of you is to hit me with your characters,be they already drawn or just ample descriptions. That's right. I'll need you to give me a good description and possibly a little bit of their personality,just so I can find the right poses.


The only condition I have is for you to go crazy with the ideas or at least have something special in your characters.


They could be humanoids, creatures,beasts. I'm better with humanoids.


I may or may not draw your ideas. That's up to me since I'm doing this for free! Hah! That rhymes.


If I find your request shifty or if I just don't like it...I'll reject it! Why,you ask? 'Cause I can! But don't let that discourage you.


Note #1: Since it's your character idea and I just draw it,you're free to use it in your RPs as your profile pic and such,but make sure to credit me! If not...well then I'll just blatantly put my signature in it there where anyone can see it! But I trust you,why wouldn't I trust you?


Note #2: I will draw them on paper and with a pencil. I can also take some criticism,if you're up for it. Being a jerk is not appreciated.


Note #3: If you don't mind I'd prefer to post the sketches here to showcase my art,but I can send them in via PM if you really want to. Any requests made outside of this thread (this mainly includes the sketches) will be ignored.


Note #4: I'll let you know if either:


a. I run out of creative juice.


b. Not have time for it anymore.


c. I can't do it for some other reason.


Reminder: Idea limit: 2-3 characters.


Alright! Let the ideas commence!

 

[White Masquerade]

Awww yessssssssssssssssssssssssss! Ill give all three ideas at once so I don't clutter much.


Idea 1: As you can see, I am a huge fan of upstanding superheroes and super-heroines. Captain America, Superman, WonderWoman Cyclops, Super girl (:3)


Whichever one of those is easiest for you, I would like to see a sketch of them in a righteous and dramatic pose. That is the allure of them to me ^.^ They are just so GOOD. Something that captures that certain noble spirit.


So let us begin! Wonder Woman!

---> The picture on the left captures her perfectly. I don't know why I see so many pictures portraying her as some feminine stripper ( ") Yeah she's a lady, but has this kind of masculine bravado at the same time. If you can capture that mix, I'd say you're quite a versatile artist.


Idea 2: Superman. =/ Most media keesp getting it wrong. Superman is not nicey-wicey. If you deserve it, he will kick your butt. His pose and self is all about power and knowing he is capable of ending things in one blow.

Idea 3: A warrior woman I can use in role-plays. I've wanted to do this, but could never find a picture good enough T_T Someone with a strong, determined look, and full or slimmed down armor (not a fan of skin showing on the characters; again, they are warriors not strippers!). The armor in the second/third pic or a design like that, would be perfect. I plan to use this character like, forever, so sorry for the excessive pictures =P (The personality for the character would be Strong, Virtuous, Determined, Empathetic, and driven to do (x) by something greater than themselves.)

That's it! That should be plenty right? x_x I'm dead already.

@White Masquerade I have a little question. Whot's the warrior woman's weapon of choice?

The sword of course! The most noble weapon around =)

 

[Aldur]

Isn't the paladin hammer of Justice more noble? Oh well. Sword it is!

Having long hair in battle increases the chances of getting grabbed by it and thus meeting your maker sooner than expected,same goes with long beards. Most warriors back in the day tried to have reasonably short hair and facial hair.


Apologies for not being able to fit the whole sword in there. Also added a shield so the whole pose works better. It turns out she is prepared to strike with that sword of hers. Even more notes,the armor from the seconds picture,the black one. It looked prone to get stuck in the ground if you were to fall so...I blended it with the second piece of armor,and still tried to make it resemble the first one.


She also doesn't have a shoulder pad on her left shoulder cause that's where the shield goes,and it's not there in order to provide maximum mobility. (I'm sorry if you already know of these details) Same thing with the bracer.


Overall I tried to keep her face determined and from the looks of it she's charging at some pretty unlucky enemies.


@White Masquerade


Hope you like it!

Hope you like it![/i]

I DO! Thank you! You even gave me a breakdown of the armor like a good blacksmith would. Wonderful. You've got yourself a fan.


And hey, if you ever want to RP it out. I'd totally kick your character's hammer holding butt. With your own creation (8))

 

[Aldur]

Sure...though I just gave an example. The Holy Hammer of Justice would be impractical in battle. It's just a stick with a very heavy piece of metal on top.

 

[White Masquerade]

=p I get the feeling you know more about weapons than is safe lol.


*impressed and frightened*


Thanks again. If you have some site, I'd be cool if you linked it. Or point it out if you already have

 

[Aldur]

It's this guy! He got me interested in historical weapons and realistic things.

[White Masquerade]

Straight swords! Ya ya!


But really though, made me realize fighting is not glamorous. So..thank you for that ( )

 

[Aldur]

What you see in movies and video games? Nuh uh. It's not all that glamorous when that overswing of yours gets your sword stuck in the ground or in some wood and gets your hands chopped off. Really if your blade or anything gets stuck somewhere and you can't prop it out...might as well just leave it there.

 

[White Masquerade]

Dear god. And when you think about it, wearing a ton of armor must have been a drag. Add that to avoiding swords and axes, and you have not a good way to spend your vacation...


I think they need videos like this in class. But for like high school and up tbh
