Free for all AMA: Help us see your characters
« on: September 04, 2017, 05:12:41 PM »
I'm currently getting an art commission of my character done and have been loving seeing a visual representation of the character, so in the vein of the other free for all AMAs I'd love to see your characters!

To be clear this isn't meant to be specific for those who are artists or have commissioned art, though those will stand out everyone is free to come with a few reference images (This can be as simple as saying same hair style as this image or using a faceclaim) or use an online avatar creator.

A bit more of a niche topic, though I'd still love to see what comes out of it!

EDIT: Feel free to include any art for their symbols as well ^^

While I might not have the money to commission an artist, nor am I skilled enough to draw my own characters (oh how I would love to), I messed about with an online avatar creator and finally got a decent result. Sure, his face is a bit too wide for my liking, he doesn't have black irises, and his clothes aren't right, but it's a start.

The two emails I sent detailing Airi + her image
Airi: ShowHide
Age: 19
 
Height and Weight: 5’6” (167cm), 125lbs (57kg)
 
Appearance: Her body is slender and petite. She has soft-brown hair cut in a hime-style: her bangs go straight down to just slightly above her eyebrows, and the rest of her hair is just short enough to lightly rest on her shoulders. Her complexion is fair. She has white lion ears. Her eyes are colored amber.
 
Outfit:
Color/Style Reference 1: https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/3/35/V2_08_00035.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20140925233035
Color/Style Reference 2: https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/a/a1/IronwoodV4.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/240?cb=20161030180752
Color/Style Reference 3: https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/8/8f/Winter_3_3_2x1_a.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/240?cb=20170430133326
Handguard Reference: http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/20008/19090588_5.jpg?v=8D10797F7A4A810
 
-White knitted beret that covers her lion ears. Wondering if it would be possible to get an alt final image without the beret.
-Full-length open jacket with an exterior style similar to Reference 2 and a red interior similar to Reference 3. The red used can be from either reference 2 or 3, whatever you think looks best.
-Beneath the jacket is the underclothing from Reference 1 which just seems to be a polo and tie. Tie color can be either of the reds previously mentioned or anywhere on greyscale, whatever you think looks best. Polo should be short-sleeved.
-Not sure if the image will get this far down, but her lower body is covered with a fairly dark-grey skirt, school uniform-esque, with a lighter-colored belt.
-Wears a silver wedding band on her right-middle finger. Also wears a slightly larger ring on a silver chain around her neck. This is however concealed and only the chain may be visible if at all.
-Has two single-edged swords with grappling guns integrated into the handle/handguard. The tip of the grapple extrudes from the pummel. Inside the handguard is a trigger that fires the grapple. However, this cannot be done unless she holds down a button on the opposite side of the handle (close to blade).
 
Pose:
Having trouble thinking of one that would capture everything well.
 
Body tilted away from viewer with left side being closest to viewer. In the middle of drawing her sword, hopefully displaying the ring on her finger. Expression is neutral or focused.[/quote]

-----

As for the swords, I think it’d be fine to just have one of them on her person instead of two. That or both on the side that you currently have it on; I feel like it may end up making the image a little too messy though. I’ll leave it up to your discretion.
 
Handle Reference 1: http://i.imgur.com/d1G9Zz5.png
Handle Reference 2: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yv5Nc4QXd9A/maxresdefault.jpg
Sword Reference: https://static.webshopapp.com/shops/036200/files/012019660/single-edged-viking-sword-telemark.jpg
 
From Handle Reference 1, the red circle indicates where a trigger should be, no guard separately needed for it. At the purple circle is where the grappling hook tip (Handle Reference 2) should be protruding from the handle. The overall sword is a single-edged straight-blade similar to the Sword Reference.
 
As for the scabbard, the only concrete thing I have is that it should be minorly embroidered near the opening with some unspecific, fancy-ish design. As for colors, that’s also pretty in-the-air. Some two-color of dark-blue, white, black, grey, silver, red(secondary only), and gold(secondary) would be alright with me, whatever pair of colors you think fits best with everything else.

Each avatar creator is slightly different, so it's up to others to find the one that suits them best. I just checked the first couple links on Google.

Damn straight, looks amazing. Especially lucky since you're now part of the V5 character board :D

Maybe I should start making some inroads about getting my own commission...

Cannot recommend Piyu enough, incredible art, for stupidly low price, however huge competition to snag the slot.

She even included a doodle for free, just because she felt like drawing her. https://artistsnclients.com/uploads/2i/jobs/54816_Sorry%20for%20the%20delay.jpg?1
