forum (CLOSED) Art trades!! I draw your character, you draw mine, we vibe

Started November 27, 2021 by @Cadeverek group

tune

Can you please check if the page is set to public? I think it's still private since I could not access unfortunately :(

I didn't expect you to respond so quick so I'll give you 2 options, just choose whichever you want!

• Kainu, that one doctor OC I made because I wanted to
• Jack, a very much depressed fella

Both of their profiles are incomplete, I swear I need to stop spending time in those forums and actually start writing lmao

@Leshierian Hey-o, Hearst is ready!

I hope you enjoy, I had so much fun drawing him and he made me realize I don't have any characters with side shaves???? That happened with AloofFloof's Tobias too (I still love that man, my precious Tobias), I like seeing you guys' designs, helps me get my creative juices flowing xD

And for some reason I just really entertained the idea of pairing Hearst with the color cyan, for some reason it seems to fit his design very nicely! I didn't draw the jacket since the best reference I had of him was the hoodie one, so I drew a hoodie and colored with the jacket's faded blue, I hope you don't mind!
As I was drawing, I saw the description and the ref and just said "sh1t man, what's his face shape?????? his hair is pale what???? blonde??? pink??? blue??? his eyes, HIS EYES HOW ARE HIS EYES" and then I scrolled to the "notes" section and just sat there in awe making the closest humanly possible of this face ._.) I was afraid I'd mess if up but the description in that section was just enough though. Also, I tried to make him seem a bit afraid or unconfortable to fit his personality, I wonder what part of his backstory lead to his anxiety?

Overall, I can say he's an amazing character, and his design is adorable! ^w^ I hope you enjoy (and with some luck I got the colors right, I'm a huge perfectionist with colors so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa color theory)

@Wykie, I've been popping on to see your drawings because oh my freaking gosh I love your style Im dead its so gooodddd AHHHH

Also ngl I wanna do another art trade with you… maybe with my character Robin but idk if I have a good description up for him.

I'm so sorry, I got busy and forgot about this. Okay, here's Amadrya Setnion And also
Amadrya Setnion line art Since I'm never satisfied with my coloring job on any of my drawings. (I've never used google drive to share anything so I hope this works) I tried to get her chill/laid back personality, I don't know how well I did. I also didn't want to make her look mean or anything, though I may have made her seem a bit too warm. Anyway, I like her character, chill going and blunt without a sense of cynicism often added to characters in the archetype. Also you describe physical aspects in detail which is helpful but I'm hopeless at understanding physical descriptions and rely heavily on images, so I'm sorry if it isn't entirely accurate.
Hearst looks great! You even added in his bitten nails. Sorry for the confusing descriptions I only put the simplest of physical details in because I prefer to draw them and let them evolve over time with each drawing (Hearst is one of my character I never draw in detail and only give him dot eyes). Also you've made me realize I don't have a drawing of him colored in on here.
This was fun! Sorry again for being so late.

@Burn_With_Me YO THIS IS SO CUTE I CAN'T EVEN LIKE 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Sure! We can trade again, as many times as you want! Sorry I didn't see this earlier, I didn't log in this weekend but it's all good now :)

@Leshierian Sorry it took me long to reply, but the files are not public, so I can't access them! Just go to the "share" tab and choose "anyone with the link" or something along those lines. Usually when I make more than one version of the drawing I drop them to a separate drive folder, and then set the entire folder to public, so I don't have to manually alter all the different pics :)

Hey Wykie, can I get a refernce photo of Henka? I wanted to draw them with my character Tiara.

Yay!!!! Tbh my life has been absolutely insane and my drawing life has dwindled 😭😭 but I can make time to do another art trade!!! Let me fix up my page for Robin and I'll send it over to you asap!!

Hi! Here’s my OC Mara:

If it’s alright, can I do a waist up, traditional drawing? Color would be added as well. Thanks so much for doing this, I love drawing and seeing others OCs.

Oh, jeez. I'm not the most technologically competent. Let me try again.

Is this working?

@AAA_Batteries I'm so sorry for the delay, my classes are back and FINALLY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT'S NOT ONLINE ANYMORE THANK YOU JESUS I OWE YA ONE

Here goes Bellamy, I hope I got their hair right though! Also, I got a bit carried away because I couldn't draw a frogge in their shirt but I put some in the background to make up for it because red-eyed tree frogs are so funny and cute and idk, I felt like it! I won't be able do make much of a commentary about them since I didn't have much info to go on about (I get the drama with your RP partner lmao this happens with my tabletop RPG characters as well xD). I hope you like it, and let me know if the link is broken btw

@Leshierian It's all working now! And thank you so much, your style looks amazing! Straight to my special little Drive folder lol

@bisexual-wind-dragon-disaster ALRIGHT this is the FIRST time someone in this thread chose a traditional drawing! This'll be interesting, I'll do a colored pencil drawing, but feel free to choose your favorite trad. medium, I don't mind. Also, just warning that the character page is private, so please remember to set to public!
I'm indecisive so I'll let you choose one of these 2 bois right here:

• Jack, the doberman guy who happens to be a mercenary
• Natt, literally an e-boy poc elf. I do not regret my decisions (btw, most of his profile is incomplete, but regardless, just warn me if you need any info I still hadn't written down!)

@sortaslightlysentient @sheabutter @Anxietyfilledcinnamonroll YO WOW OK THAT'S A LOT OF REQUESTS

Yeah, it's still open so y'all can join as you wish! I'm sorry for not responding last week, I'm going through some shit and University's been a real hassle when it comes to my schedule. All of you can send me the character profiles, as soon as you wish, and I'll try to finish the drawings as soon as possible, but please be a bit patient! (I had to extend the deadline to 15 days/2 weeks because of uni, so I'm sorry if it takes more than a week like the previous deadline, I swear I wish I didn't have to change…)

Anyways, sorry for the low energy response, things were quite rough lately due to several variants, but the trades are open.
Bring it on, lemme see your children's profiles, I'll start my internal debate over which of my 105 children I should send lmao

woo okay that's fine!! hope you're okay. uhh could you do adelaide? i've tried to make her as detailed as possible but lmk if there's anything missing.

@Wykie That’s totally okay! Take you’re time and don’t overly stress yourself! I don’t really mind about the deadline thing, I truly understand and have been there before.

I’d like to see how’d you’d draw Nathaniel. He’s nature isn’t really filled out the best. I do have a drawing in his gallery by me that you can reference if needed (For the scar and colors mostly). Merci beaucoup!

Nathaniel

@sortaslightlysentient @Anxietyfilledcinnamonroll
Alright, I'm gonna make a small list of some characters here, both of you can choose any you'd like to draw. Most of them don't have a full profil tho, but I think their descriptions are ok, if anything's missing, please let me know!

• Evig, morally the worst villain I've ever created, in other words, a narcisistic manipulative b-tch who not only doesn't apologize, but doesn't think she's wrong at all in the first place
• Henka, my favorite OC and just your average edgy sad-backstory drug-addicted catboy who happens to be a 5'3" ball of pure unfiltered rage. Yes, I'm aware of how cartoonishingly edgy he is aND THAT IS THE POINT-
• Natt, I used to feel a deeper conection to him but at least he's still my favorite design out of all my OCs, so that's a plus. He's mostly very wholesome and optimistic, a very very sweet boy :3 Also, he's Evig's son btw
• Kainu, lately I've been relating a bit more to him. Anyways-
• Simon, he's more of a ventsona than an actual OC at this point, but these last weeks I actually started developing his backstory and upgrading his design after sitting on my shelf since 2019 lmao

they're all so cool! im gonna do evig, if that's okay??

• Henka, my favorite OC and just your average edgy sad-backstory drug-addicted catboy who happens to be a 5'3" ball of pure unfiltered rage. Yes, I'm aware of how cartoonishingly edgy he is aND THAT IS THE POINT-

I saw catboy and was sold lol. I love drawing fluffy bestie OC’s. I might steal ‘em >:)

I would absolutely love to draw one of your characters, I just don't really do full body drawings, if that's alright? I'm really good at bust drawings and I'm also anxious as hell, so I'd like to stick in my comfort zone.
as for my dudes for you to draw, i'd love you see you take on logan or henry. both profiles also have a decent idea of what my art style looks like since I've drawn them both already.

Hey @Wykie, I've completed Henka!

Let me know if I missed something, and I'll add it. I was having a hard time keeping up with details. Not because there are too many details, it is because my brain saw a detail and said "Let's forget about that until the end" lol. I apologize for the monstrosity that is his foot. I am not good at drawing those. They look like paws 😭. I also put his symbols in the background, so there are little doodles of those.

You can really tell what fandom I started drawing for by the way I drew the ears and tail lmao! And the song choices in his music sections are absolute protection. Loved by FEiN is one of my favorites!

Don't worry about how edgy he is. Edgy characters are some of my favorites!

Hi! Not ready to share another character atm and Henka isn't my character but @Anxietyfilledcinnamonroll OMG THAT'S AWESOME!! I love seeing this whole thread of character appreciation and THE ART. Y'all are so talented 😭

Thank you :) I appreciate it. I agree, everyone here is extremely talented and I like seeing everyone else’s art styles

I'M FINALLY BACK, PEOPLE OF NOTEBOOK
Ok, so, first of all, this is being legit the worst semester in university. I end up having very little time because, to put it short, we don't have tests/exams, instead our grades are calculated either through the assignments we turned in (continuous evaluation, shitty af bc there are new assigments every week from every subject so fUCK), OOOORRRR, the teacher assigns us a bigger project to be turned in. I never thought I'd say this but I miss being done with my grade after only 2 hours to fill in 10 questions :(((
To give you an idea, I had 16 assigments to finish in a week. Three goddamned assigments each day. Damn, university's fucked man.

Anyways, I took some time from the website to avoid being distracted, and then I promised myself I'd only come back once I had finished the trades because it's my duty as a world citizen and again, I didn't wanna be distracted by the forums and end up procrastinating. Anyways, I did the thing, after one fucking month, but I did the thing! I'm not a scammer, I swear, I'm not a scammer guys… please, pleASE I SWEAR GUYS, I HAVE A FAMILY OF 129 TO FEED PLEASE DON'T HATE ME I SWEAR IT WAS AN ACCIDEN-

But to be fair, I did come back with cONTENT because I had a 2-week long blast in inspiration these days, now I have 129 OCs, not 105 :D

@Anxietyfilledcinnamonroll

There you have Nathaniel! I hope I got the colors right because I kinda like to turn the saturation all the way up but his palette is pretty muted, so I was kinda annoyed that I thought it looked too gray, I, again, turned up the saturation but it ended up not looking like him, so I kept it a bit more grayish than I usually do, I hope it's ok tho. He has a really cool design imo, and GOD I am a sucker for those earrings/piercings, specially the hanging-chain-ones-that-I-never-bothered-searching-the-name-of, plus, but I admit I had some trouble with the hair (I hope I got it right tho!). Also, THANK GOD HE IS EDGY TOO, edgy characters are always the most entertaining to write and I admit I giggled a little when I saw you literally wrote a list of his crimes, it can't get edgier than that and I'M HERE FOR IT BRO. Also, I don't know how much of christian influence you'll add in the story, so as an evangelical christian myself I can help ya with any doubts about the mithology, like, I saw the Angel of Death and I automatically love this kid depite knowing 2 facts about them in your plot. I was a bit concerned that he is a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle overpowered but I mean, he's the King of Hell, he is MEANT to be overpowered. Lastly, please warn me if there's anything wrong, or if the link isn't working! Also, "he's a glorified Rasputin" was singlehandedly the highlight of the day when I read his profile lmao

@sortaslightlysentient

YO here's Adelaide! Ok, I gotta say it I LOVE HER BACKSTORY SO MUCH. I'd love to read it sometime (although it might take longer because most of my free time goes to art tho). Also, I gotta say I think her personality is so endearing, she's a quite dark character but not in an edgy way, and again, I'm definetely here for it. Her design is also very pretty, quite simplistic but still very beautiful although I thought she was latina and not african-american at first glance, but you win me with the colors becaus they're very vibrant and with tons of blue so of course I'm naturally gonna love it lmaoo. Also, if I were to take a guess, I don't think she did it tbh, but of course I could be wrong! Again, warn me if the link isn't working, or if anything's missing! Also, I made her drawing on y sketchbook first and then I finished didgitally with my finger while waiting for my mom in a clinic, so I sent the little sketch as well :) GAH I JUST REALLY LOVE ADELAIDE I'M SORRY SHE'S SO FUN you must have had a blast writing her plot tbh!

@trainwreck404
I chose Henry! I started drawing him already (gotta keep going with the flow once I have some time available and start drawing, so sorry for not warning you sooner about that.) Do you mind making Simon? His profile isn't quite finished but I recently developed a fuck-ton of his backstory, just didn't write it down lmao
