I need someone to draw me some of my characters because I can't draw for crap and none of me friends can either. It would be nice if you could do it digitally and I would love to see some other art that you have done to know if I feel like you can go by my crazy descriptions lol

@ninja_violinist

I'm up for drawing characters in general? Fair warning that I'm self-taught, I can't draw males to save my life, and I'm still sort of figuring things out as I go.
I've done character art for others before, in this thread specifically, so I guess you can look at that and see if you want to inflict me on your babies haha
(I will say that a lot of the stuff I do on notebook is way more condensed than I'm capable of. I mostly just do random fun sketches as I feel like it, so if you want super high quality painterly art, I could probably put in a lot more effort.)

I LOVE your art style! And don't worry most of my male characters are either book characters, which already have art done for, or are real people lol. And if you can just try to add a tad more bit of quality and I think they'll look great! I have a few characters that I need people to draw so I hope you don't mind.

@Court.At.Hogwarts

Sounds good! Ready whenever you are!

Okay cool, here are the links to each character description.

Joy

Clover

Courtney

I hope the links work.

@Court.At.Hogwarts

Have you made your characters public? Currently I can't view the links…

I'm sorry, I forgot about doing that lol anyway they should be open now.

@Court.At.Hogwarts

Just a heads up that I've started on Clover
She's far from complete but I've started

Thank you so much, just out of curiosity just how long will these take? I just want to know and not to rush you, I'm just wondering because I'm writing the story currently and I was wanting to release the character list, along with the drawing and photos, at the same time, but I'll most likely release them once you get me the character drawing. Again I don't mean to rush you.

@ninja_violinist

No worries about rushing me!
Unfortunately I'm not organised enough to have a good idea when I'll be done
Generally it takes a few hours per character depending on the level of detail (say like 4-7, maybe, for the level I'm aiming at), but these just get squeezed in after work and cleaning and cooking and stuff and are subject to how floored I am and how much other stuff is going on. I'd say Clover should be done within the next day or so
(though I mean now that I know you're releasing them I'll be like 200% more perfectionist with these so who knows)
Yeah, sorry I'm such a mess lol

No worries I just wanted to get an idea for timing

@ninja_violinist

So when I reached about halfway through this I realised that I don't actually know how lighting works
But I was too stubborn to start over
so….
have this super extra, over-the-top dramatic attempt at Clover I guess?? (Don't worry if you don't like it, I can definitely try again)

I love everything about this thank you so much! The lighting works really well! But do you think that you could just change her clothes to more of a black with red kind of Assassins Creed outfit? And may e make her hair a bit long and possibly looked a bit crimped? I hope that isn't asking too much

@ninja_violinist

Sure! I'd love to try this again lol
Surface googling Assassin's Creed showed up that it's a "hood" sort of style, but having a hood on kind of cramps hairstyle. Would you prefer an image with her hair visible or more with her hood on for maximum mystery?

I think that it'll be best if you leave the hood detail out because her hair is a very important detail in the story the design of the outfit is really what I'm trying to put into her character because I can't really find anything out that seems to work

@ninja_violinist

All right! This is hopefully closer to what you were thinking! (I only thought to google the meaning of "crimped" after I drew the hair so I already know that's not exactly perfect, but I hope it still works)
Quick note that I'll be traveling without my tablet the next few days, so you probably won't see anything from me for the next week or so. But if there's anything glaringly wrong, or if I should do a specific character next, do tell me! I can always plan ahead lol

I love it! It's just what I'm looking for! Thank you so much, I hope the other two characters won't cause too much trouble lol but have a nice trip!

@Court.At.Hogwarts

(bumping this because it slipped to page two - character art for Joy coming soon! Do you have any preferences for her outfit?)

I added another photo to her character description, but her style is very trendy and casual.

Sorry for asking, but do you think that you might draw my character? You don't have to if it's to much, but I was just wondering. Here she is! Invalid Character
