@chalice@obrian-of-the-surface-world Thank you, sir!! It was a combination of mental image + lots of reference photos. (Including a really old one of my dad, actually. š)

@erynneAnyone have a character that hasn’t been done yet??
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.

@chalice@erynne I do! It’s one of the last posts on page 8.
Also, I don’t think we’ve met before. š What kind of stories do you write? I write mostly fantasy and contemporary fiction and quite a bit of flash fiction.
(I love your quote, by the way!)

@erynneOh. My. Goodness. You did that?? That is absolutely incredible!!!!!!
1) Name: Either Luke or Brody
2) Age: 15?
3) Career/Role in Story: he looks like he would be a leader of some sort
4) Personality: he’s quiet and pretty serious, but protective and even a little prideful (the way he’s standing just looks like he could be prideful) and he’s also a troublemaker
5) Would you be friends with that character?: probably not…
6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: it looks like he has scars on his face. He may have gotten those from abuse or a wild lion attack in the midst of an African jungle
7) What would this characterās nickname be? Why? : He looks like he could get picked on a lot, so probably nothing nice
8) Characterās greatest strength: Eeesh… um
he’s really good with a skateboardĀI have no idea XD9) Characterās fatal flaw: pass
10) Phrase that this character is likely to say: “It’s not what you think”
11) Characterās favorite color(s): red
I know I’ve seen you around, but no, we haven’t actually met yet.
I like to write fantasy and romance. I’m currently working on a futuristic novel as well.
(Thank you! CS Lewis, I believe)
What do you like to read??

@rose-colored-fancyYour character art is incredible! I can see you’ve put a lot of time and work into it, it looks amazing!
I’d like to post another character, but I’m having trouble with the site, and I honestly can’t wrestle with technology right now, so I’ll try to post later.

@chalice@erynne Thank you so much!!
I’m sorry it took me a while to respond!
1) Name: Either Luke or Brody
Hmm… well, to be honest, I’m actually having a REALLY hard time naming this character. š I was thinking maybe something like Christopher…? but it doesn’t quite fit. (Why do I always have this problem?? š)
2) Age: 15?
Close, he’s sixteen.
3) Career/Role in Story: he looks like he would be a leader of some sort.
Not really… He is the protagonist, and he has some low-key vigilante vibes, heh heh. But other than that he’s pretty much just your “average” kid. š
4) Personality: heās quiet and pretty serious, but protective and even a little prideful (the way heās standing just looks like he could be prideful) and heās also a troublemaker
Dude, You got it! At least, for the beginning of the story. I didn’t think anyone would get it right, because I tried to draw him looking more lighthearted and happy. I think he’s actually an extrovert (and maybe has a goofy/ornery side), but some the things he’s been through have shut him down a little bit. And yes, he’s definitely got some pride. I wouldn’t say he’s arrogant though.
5) Would you be friends with that character?: probably notā¦
Haha, why not?? (Okay, but to be honest, I probably wouldn’t either. In fact, we would probably never even meet. š)
6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: it looks like he has scars on his face. He may have gotten those from abuse or a wild lion attack in the midst of an African jungle
*sigh* Yeah, my poor boy’s been abused, and beat up. He’s never been to Africa though, as much as he would love to.
7) What would this characterās nickname be? Why? : He looks like he could get picked on a lot, so probably nothing nice
You’re probably right. Aaand, I don’t know about nicknames, because he doesn’t have a name yet. But his Aunt calls him “kid.” Does that count? š
8) Characterās greatest strength: Eeesh⦠umĀ
heās really good with a skateboardĀĀ I have no idea XDYeah… I can see him being a skater… š I would say his greatest strength is his desire to help people and his ability to listen and understand.
9) Characterās fatal flaw: pass
Ya boi’s got anger issues.Ā šš«
10) Phrase that this character is likely to say: āItās not what you thinkā
Or, “Okay, don’t hate me, but….”
11) Characterās favorite color(s): red
Yes!
Well, this was a lot of fun! Thanks for making your guesses. It actually helped me think more about my character and do a little bit of development. I guess this game isn’t useless after all! š And by the way, it’s nice to meet you! (:
Oh, cool! Fantasy is one of my favorite genres to write. That’s neat that you’re working on a futuristic story? Do you mind me asking what it’s about? (If you do, that fine. I totally understand. š)
I love reading just about anything, as long as it’s good: Classics, Middle Grade, YA, Fantasy, Contemporary Fiction, Non-fiction… What about you? What are some of your favorite books?

@erynneHi Chalice! Sorry for the late response, life happened.
I assumed I didn’t do to well on er…him (come up with a name yet?), but I had fun doing him!
Haha, why not??
Well tbh, he just seems like one of those people that would get on my nerves lol (no offense). I’m probably wrong though.
I guess this game isnāt useless after all!Ā Ā And by the way, itās nice to meet you! (:
Oh well thank you! š To you as well!
Do you mind me asking what itās about?
No not at all! I haven’t gotten too much plotting done though. I’m actually going to work on that after I finish here. The MC is a teenage girl and she is basically trying to stop government control. I have several ideas for it, but I want it to be original. I don’t want this to be a remake of The Hunger Games or The Giver lol. I wish I had more details prepared for you! I will be starting a thread on it as soon as I get the plot set in stone. A ton of people have asked about it. Oh, I did however put the beginning of it on Brian Stansell’s thread about opening lines in Mystery/Suspense/Thriller if you would be interested in read it and giving me your thoughts. It’s the most recent post.
Ā What about you? What are some of your favorite books?
I like YA, fantasy, mystery, romance, and historical books. My favorite is probably (ok, most definitely) the Twilight Saga. I also like Lois Lowry books and I’m currently reading The Hunger Games. I am really enjoying it so far! There is so much detail the movies don’t give you (like always) and I didn’t realize how much I related to Katniss. After I finish it, I’m going to read The Fault in Our Stars and The Maze Runner. What’s your favorite book?

@rose-colored-fancySo pretty! I love that design!
Lemme see:
1) Name: I think something Celtic or Nordic. Caomhain? Ardan? Or maybe Killian or Rowan?
2) Age: Mid-twenties, I think.
3) Career/Role in Story: I think he’s a leader, maybe one of the protagonists, or maybe a love interest?
4) Personality: Serious, determined, responsible, may have a soft side, but I think he hides it well.
5) Would you be friends with that character?: He’s cool, but he kinda intimidates me XD Maybe?
6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: He’s wearing a cloak with a Celtic design and he’s in a snowy background, so I think he’s from a colder climate. I think his weapons of preference are probably the bow or battleax.
7) What would this characterās nickname be? Why? : I don’t think anyone would dare to give him a nickname. XD
8) Characterās greatest strength: I think he’s very good at whatever he does, and he looks like an excellent leader, and I think he’s very protective.
9) Characterās fatal flaw: Impatience, or being a loner.
10) Phrase that this character is likely to say: āI’m going to do it myself since I can’t count on any of you to do it right.”
11) Characterās favorite color(s): Green or earth tones.
That was fun! He’s a cool character!

@irishcelticredflowercrownHeyy everyone! Hereās another character drawing I did. I was a bit worries I did the wrinkles wrong cause sheās supposed to be one of those warriors who are hundreds of years old but also sort of youthful looking – ah well XD
