Anyone Want Drawings of their Characters?

PastMember · May 31, 2007, 02:37:41 PM

Well, as my life goes, I've gotten bored. One reason why I'm trying to get more and more into Triads. With one story waiting from approval from my Mentor, 3 more stories being written and a new 'sona waiting for approval... I've found I have nothing much to fill my days. (I have a job waiting, but since I got married and will be going to Houston, TX soon, I have to wait till the middle of June to start!)

Anyways, on to my point. I have 2 years of my Bachelor's in Illustration done and would love to continue to build up my portfolio. Yet, I have a hard time sitting down and finding things to draw. (I work better when there is a reason to complete something). What I would love to do is offer my services to all of you - for no charge. My only request is that I get to keep the original images for my portfolio.

So, if you would like a drawing (b&w or color) of your character, dragons/firelizards, etc... contact me and we can figure out exactly what you want. I will scan in a few of my past drawings and post them as soon as I can, so you all can see what I can do. But, I can to realistic, or more illustrative styles.

:D I'm just trying to keep myself busy.

Ohhh, that's wonderful! Don't make me request way too much from you! ;)

(On a random note, do you do people's original non-Triad characters as well?)

I sure do! Just let me know what you want and all the gory details and I can come up with a sketch, show it to you and you can let me know what you do and don't like. :D

Ooooh! I want! :D

What would like, Becki? Any specific character of yours?

I sure do! I can't draw a human...

Could you draw a picture of Aileyan?

as a hint, I always pictured her to look like young Wiona Ryder (like in Edward Scissorhands) but with much more hair.

Oooo! I'll get right on it. I'll even find a picture of Ryder in Scissorhands as a reference. When I get a quick sketch done, I'll post it here for you and you can let me know if you like it or not.

:D

Kate, have you sketched your own characters?

I've no clear view of any of my characters -- more their personalities than their appearances. For example, in Hartam's description he has brown hair tending to gray -- I can't see him in my mind, but his personality and mannerisms (particularly those while singing) are based on womeone I know who is about the same height but with a shaved head.

Actually... I wouldn't mind if you could do a few of mine. That'd be so cool. I'd post my art of my characters but I always look at everyone else's realistic amazingness and feel inadequate because mine are all anime style cause I can't draw realistic for crap. I'm good at dragons though.

I'll email you with specifics if thats ok.

I haven't done any for Triads, though I'm going to very soon, amongst the ones I will do for anyone here.

The one below is if a character I once had in a long dead Pern PBeM. She was a Journeywoman Harper named Elisbeit. And I'm thinking about using the image to represent a character I am thinking about adopting at Kadanzer Weyr - hence the file name. It isn't the best, since I didn't spend much time on it. The drawings I do for everyone here will be more finished.

That's really great, Kate! I have no arty skills so I'm quite envious.

Vix · June 01, 2007, 06:15:47 PM

Very nice, Kate.

I can draw turtles and butterflies that are recognizable to 4-year-olds, but that's the extent of my artistic talent.

Rochelle · June 01, 2007, 06:29:28 PM

Oooo. Kate, I love your offer! I've been toying with the idea of drawing some of mine, but whenever I try my art skills vanish.

You'll be hearing from me!

My mother is an artist and got her degree in Graphic Design. Art runs in the family. That, and when I graduated from high school... I knew that if I went to college for Art... I'd actually have a chance to graduate.

But, my school got put on hold when the hubby and I moved to New Mexico in Nov. 06. But, one day, I'll get my degree. *crosses fingers*

Until then, you guys get to help me keep myself in the flow and all. Hehe. For which I am eternally grateful!
