RE: Character References - SereneAurora - 08-01-2013

Name: Erisande Marchand
Race/Clan: Elezen, wildwood
Class: White Mage

Hair: Golden brown shot through with golden blonde strands.
Eyes: Ice blue
Height: Extremely short for elezen
Figure: Short legs, longer torso, slightly curved hips, a little busty.
Clothing: Gowns/tunics/skirts. Would not be caught dead in pants right now. Simple or elaborate fabrics.

General personality: Doesn't have a lot of fun unless she's forced into it, focused on her duties to her house and family. Well bred, impeccable manners and politeness most of the time. Has a temper that erupts when she's pushed too far - usually by her sister. Loves her family dearly and wants to take care of them, even at the expense of her own happiness. Tries to stay away from men, she's overly susceptible to their charms.

Possible Expressions/Activities:
  • Enjoying the woods of Gridania
  • Deep blush and/or avoiding men
  • Irritated beyond belief at her sister (but she still loves her!)
  • Intent concentration on a craft (any!) or ledger
  • Fledgling healing spell
  • Healing a small animal

Note: Although the eyes in the avatar might seem a little "harsh" I think of her as being a little softer, more empathetic. The other faces made her look too young than her 28 years, I thought.

RE: Character References - FreelanceWizard - 08-01-2013

No one ever draws my characters. Sad But should you get an itch to, here's the key data. Smile

Name: L'yhta Mahre
Race/Clan: Miqo'te, Seeker of the Sun
Age: 22
Professions: Anything magical (Conjurer, Arcanist, Thaumaturge, etc.).

Hair: Dark violet with slightly lighter highlights; long but usually pulled back.
Eyes: Bright heliotrope, nearing iridescent. No glasses needed, though she might wear them from time to time just to look "brainy."
Skin: Dark and tanned. Has the "tiger stripe" markings on her cheeks.
Height: 5' 5" -- very tall for a miqo'te.
Tail: Long, tapering to a point
Figure: Thin, lanky, and hardly curvy at all, especially in the chest. Somewhat muscular, but in a wiry way from running and dancing -- certainly not bulky.
Clothing: Highly variable; she likes robes, but she's also lately taken to outfits that show a lot of skin (such as short skirts, camises, or bandeau tops). She never wears heavy armor, instead using her magic to provide protection. The heaviest armor she's known to wear is a breastplate.

Personality: Wired. Smile Wears her emotions on her sleeve and is usually impulsive, effervescent, and nice (with little concept of personal space), but can be brutal in combat against the forces of Evil and Awful. Relatively naive about the actual world (bad guys wear black and monologue, good guys are always nice, power always wants to hear truth, etc.) Uses (abuses?) magic liberally and has a wildly inflated ego about her magical talents.

Possible expressions/activities: Bouncing off the walls (literally or figuratively); showing off her magical prowess (I have an idea in my mind of her standing with a wicked grin on her face, a ball of flames in one hand and an orb of ice in the other); completely ignoring any semblance of personal space people have; doing something incredibly stupid and arrogant, like taunting a dragon. In almost any circumstance, she's usually smiling or grinning with an altogether excessive enthusiasm.

RE: Character References - Kyatai - 08-03-2013

Name: Chiane N'Ardenté
Race/Clan: Duskwright, Clan N'Ardenté
Age: 23
Professions: Archmage (with preference to Black), Monk

Hair: Dusky blue-green with red-purple highlights, long reaching to her mid back. Long, thick bangs kept neatly trimmed around her eyebrow level.
Eyes: mid-light green
Skin: Creamy Bluish-grey, bears an angular scar on her chin, and a smattering of fine linear scars along her forearm, knuckles, shins: faded with age to almost indiscernible.
Height: 72.2"

Figure: Shapely, toned, athletic
Clothing: Well-cut, stylish soft leathers and robes. Colors are often darker shades, so as to compliment her skin- and to help her blend in. She prefers deep burgundy rose, shades of purples and greens. Yellow makes her look like she's a corpse.

Personality: Quiet, watchful, focused, private. She's more liable to stand and listen, gather information and get a 'bead' on a situation and/or assembly before opening her mouth. She can be a bit snarky and blunt, especially if one is behaving in a condescending or rude manner or judging her based on her heritage- but if one shows her respect, she reciprocates. She has a dark sense of humor and is quite intelligent. When she's comfortable with a person/group, she tends to open up and be fairly friendly. She does, however, value Duskwright Blood over other blood and will bend over backwards to help her 'family'... unless they prove they are not worthy of/don't need/don't want her help. She is quite fair and holds personal honor in high regard.

Possible expressions/activities:
* Crystal cutter/gem crafter. She is presently exploring the use of crystals to store information and aether, experimenting on cuts and accuracy of focii
* Often taking things apart, making notes, then reassembling in the attempt to understand how 'things work'... and maybe make them better. This primarily goes for tech/magitek... she's a tactile learner... but would not be above assisting in an autopsy or helping build things. Is presently working on several different side projects...
* Fierce defender of those needing help... especially Duskwrights.
Her personal code is: Honor before Self; Clan/Family before Self; Blood before Self.
* Has been known to raid Garlean encampments for 'source material' and magitek bits.
* Often travels alone, but might also be seen with a few Duskwrights of ...questionable... behaviour. At least in the eyes of non-DW's... *grins*
* Smirks/grins often, as if the world amuses her- though her eyes often denote soberity.

____________________________

Name: T'kyiah Soren
Race/Clan: Miqo'te, Seeker of the Sun
Age: 22
Professions: Lancer... heading for Dragoon, minor healing

Hair: Warm golden-red/brown with lighter amber highlights
Eyes: Heterochromia: R eye a warm whiskey color, L eye slightly darker/richer golden brown
Skin: tanned.
Height: 4'8 or so- she's a short little thing!
Tail: Fluffy
Figure: Slender, muscular/toned with a nice figure.
Clothing: Light, warm colors with a tribal flair (metal bracelets, anklets, hair ornamentation, necklaces/earrings; beads, stones). Loose clothing where possible, leathers when needed. She values free movement overall. Prefers sandals- or simply barefoot (esp when fighting). During battle or training... she naturally forgoes the "decoration."

Personality: Independent, strong, clever, caring, thoughtful, mischievous, flirty, loyal, protective. She is very proud of who she is and where she comes from, but is very driven toward achieving her goals. I hear Queen Elizabeth I's voice when I think of her "I am my FATHER'S Daughter!" She is not a meek and submissive SS female- she is comfortable in her own skin.

Possible expressions/activities: She is often smiling or teasing, or jumping ahead to 'prove' she's not fragile. She's not afraid to scrap- but will use her mind before her fists or lance. She's usually out adventuring- trying to uncover the meaning behind her dreams and the compunction she had to leave her tribe... and what the future holds for her. She enjoys flirting with males, but is not promiscuous- she just does it for the fun of it and to (sometimes) get what she wants. But it is done in a teasing/mischievous/lighthearted way- not a hurtful one.
She is also an alchemist with minor healing skills/knowledge (tribal medicine- but is seeking to learn of the more urban types too)

RE: Character References - Sounsyy - 08-04-2013

I've always wanted my character to be illustrated! I wish I had any artistic talent myself. I have so many ideas for my character. 

Sounsyy Mirke

Race: Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun
Gender: Female
Age: 26 (31 if you count the 5 years in the void)
Height: 5 fulms even
Weight: 130 ponz
Profession: Gladiator, Maelstrom Captain
Preferred Weapons: Sounsyy excels with both spear and short sword. But her weapon of choice is the Falchion. When using a Falchion she tends to carry a Scutum -type shield in her offhand.


Show Content

Hair Notes: The color and style of the hair in the pic is good, but it's a little longer in the back. Not flat like the character creator. Something more like this. So brushed back on top like the screenshot, just longer in the back pulled into a short tuft of a ponytail. Sounsyy spends very little time on her appearance, so her hair is usually messy.
Markings: She has three racial birthmarks on each cheek. On her left cheek is a small scar that runs horizontally through the middle birthmark. It's barely notice-able. 
Body: She's stockier than most miqo'te. She has slightly wider shoulders, stronger arms, and thick, muscular thighs. She isn't grossly larger than other miqo'te, just thicker. She remains very well proportioned for being only 5 fulms tall. She has small-ish breasts and light tan skin. 
Clothing: From her time on the Bloodsands, Sounsyy has grown accustomed to wearing a combination of leathers and plate mail. Sabatons, Gauntlets, and a plain breastplate overtop of an alpine war jacket and tights. 

If any artists wanted to have a little armor challenge, I've got some chest piece ideas. It's actually not too complicated.

Show Content

Personality/Demeanor: Sounsyy outwardly appears quite fatigued almost all the time. Though there are rare moments when her eyes light up like they used to. She has an odd habit of biting her lower lip without even realizing she's doing it. To strangers, Sounsyy can be unnecessarily sharp-tongued, but to her friends you will never find a more loyal or giving heart. If you met Sounsyy in a social setting, you might think her introverted or closed-mouth, and you'd be mostly correct. But as a captain on the field of battle, she wields sword and shield and voice with irrefutable authority.

RE: Character References - Dubs - 08-06-2013

I'd thought I'd give it a try and post a bit of a different request for those that have the free time.

I was wondering if anyone of our esteemed artists would like to give a go at drawing or conceptualizing a primary antagonist in my character backstory (link below).

Caernus nan Daegon a Garlean Inquisitor:


Physical description:
Basics
Ht :6 fulms 6 ilms
Wt: 230 ponz
Profession: Imperial Inquisitor
(Black & White mage)
Demeanor: Psychotic Schizo-megalomaniac

Faces:
Daegon has a helm that contains three facemasks which rotate to fit one of his three personalities. Here are the descriptions of each face:

Jubilation the Ebon Maiden: Black metallic smiling female kabuki mask. The eyes are lidless and white (Personality: Seductress, Sadist) White flashing eyes


Sorrow the Frowning Fool: Frowning white kabuki mask with smeared eyeliner  from crying. Painted tears flowing down past a open wailing frown. Eyes pitch black


Malice the Finisher: Malice is depicted as a red and black demon-like kabuki mask with numerous slit teeth (think marlboro teeth like) Red flashing eyes that melts faces.

Helmet:
Ornate helm that has an opening in the front for a face as well as the rear. No ear slits but there are four distinct metal horns that begin to grow outward when Malice is summoned. Almost medusa-ish.

Garb:
-White cowl with a white cloak and white feathered epaulets for the shoulders.

Armor is golden plated covering his entire body. Some red jeweled sections adorn the center torso and forearms. At the waist is a jeweled belt with a white drape-ish elaborate lengthy loin cloth (not sure if that's the correct fashion vocabulary) flows in the front and behind.

Important on the shape of his arms and lower legs:
Daegon has gone through so much Magitek experimentation / enhancement that his forearms are elongated more than normal very gangly looking as are his clawed fingers. His lower legs at the knees are fentlocked like a horse or almost saytr-like. Not really with hooves so to speak just beastman-like feet.

He has no weapons primarily because he's a caster but he does have 4 (two silver-two black) overly large and spiked vanguard automotons that have the same three faces as he does. They rotate simultaneously whenever his personality changes.

Again, just for giggles if you guys have the time, looking forward to what you come up with Bouncy

RE: Character References - Fearless - 08-06-2013

Name: Fearless Wynn
Race: Sea Wolves Roegadyn

Height: 7'5" ish
Weight: For a Roegadyn he is of above normal weight, it's mostly muscle though.
Body: Fearless has wide, broad shoulders, he has a well built body from the conditioning he has received from growing up doing chores around the family ranch, lifting heavy objects, mending broken items, and being a skilled axe-user but he isn't overly bulked up. His arms are think and muscular but they aren't huge like tree trunks.
Skin: A dark stony grey/green color, like a stone that has been covered with a graying moss. He's not Green green, and he's not grey like a stone... That being said. Fearless's skin is not hard or rough more like really soft leather.
Face: Fearless has red eyes but nobody ever really sees them because he wears goggles. No one can tell if his eyes are glaring angrily or shining with greed. A flat nose and a stern mouth make up the rest of his facial features. He also has the makings of a beard but he likes to keep it looking like it only came in a week ago.
Hair: Fearless's hair is wild and spiked in the front with a smoothed over normal short cut with long sideburns. Think the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. His hair is black with dark red highlights streaking through it.
Clothing: Fear is ninety percent of the time wearing goggles. The goggles have a leather strap that is attached to the outer-rim of the lens frame and wraps around the back of the head, the strap can be adjusted to be tighter or looser around the head, there is also leather padding around the frame to make it so that it is comfortable around the eyes. The frame is made out of steel painted black and the lenses are tinted black.
He prefers to wear shirts and jackets and dark colored pants. He is also comfortable in a vest. His style is almost that of a western rancher, wearing clothes that are comfortable, stylish, and suited for working long days under the sun.

RE: Character References - sanguineFenrir - 08-09-2013

I figured I'd add my own voice to this thread. I've never had any artwork done of my characters, but my wiki is bare, and I'd like to see what you can do if you've the time. (I've no real confidence or skill in anything but coloring, either.) If you do create some art of Kevaraan, please send me a PM so I know you did something (I don't always watch the art threads.) I can't pay you (in real money or in gil, as of yet), so I figured this would be my best and only way of getting artwork.

Physical description: Tall for a Miqo'te; pale and gaunt, lean with a bit of muscle. He has long black hair, at least of shoulder length but possibly longer, depending on work, and long ears and tail. They may be tinged with red, but it's fine to leave them solid black. He has large eyes, a long nose, and wide, thin lips. His eyes are a pale yellow green or grey-green, kind of large, and may often look piercing or paranoid, depending on interpretation.

Important details: Besides the ears and hair, he has a rack of five rings in one eyebrow, and a lip ring on the opposite side of his mouth. (I don't care what sides you use, because I'm guilty of flipping them myself.) He has no facial hair whatsoever, and no warpaint, but the markings around his eyes are red. You can tell he's male, but he has an androgynous quality.

His demeanor is reserved and intellectual, although he can be paranoid or neurotic (which may be fun to draw.) You can draw him wearing almost anything, as long as it isn't skimpy, but he typically wears a leather jacket, or the robes below if in Ul'Dah. Lots of desaturated colors or grayscale reds/blacks. (He's not really "fun" or outgoing, wouldn't be caught dead in a swimsuit, and doesn't show his teeth when he smiles, unless he's bluffing or losing his temper.

Please see my wiki, linked in my signature, if you need a bit more information. I've created a reference shot myself, using the famous "Afghan Girl" image as a reference, which is passable for his facial proportions (especially the face shape and eyes. It's not good, but the lines took me forever--I filled the colors in quickly so you have an accurate palette to go by, even if it's not detailed.

Show Content

As far as real people go, even though it's a bit cliche he does have some resemblance to Steve Jobs in his youth, when considering facial features. You could also say he has English or especially Scandinavian features, if going by realism.

Thanks for reading, and I'd be honored if you were to consider my character for artwork.

Ashren Snow - Ashren Dotharl - 08-13-2013

Figured I'd throw my hat in here as well in case I want to have art done (or if someone wants to do some pro bono for me).

Name: Ashren Snow
Race: Hyur
Clan: Midlander
Hairstyle: Shaggy, unkempt, white
Complexion: Incredibly pale, albino
Eyes: Steely gaze, partially blind in right eye, left eye is a light pink color (albino)
Distinguishing features: Legacy mark between his shoulder blades, 90% of his body is covered in scars of varying sizes and shapes, prominent scar on his lip, over his right eye, and across the bridge of his nose, tattoo of Nald'thal's symbol on his right wrist
Physique: Muscular, tall
Clothing: Most likely dressed in the Hyur racial clothing, or the level 50 Alchemist outfit with garlond goggles

A more detailed description of him as well as a closeup of his face can be found in his wiki article in my signature. I based his appearance somewhat on Setzer Gabbiani, so any artwork of him could be used as a reference as well.

RE: Character References - Chance - 08-14-2013

Thought I'd throw mine into the mix incase anyone felt like drawing my greedy lil' gil hound. He looks exactly as he does in game with maybe a few more cuts along his upper body, glancing blows from a lance maybe.

Name: Chance Vinders

Race: Highlander Hyur

Age: 27

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 240 lbs

Profession: Freelancer

Demeanor: Chance's default expression is a laid back smile, though he can often be seen trying to fiercely argue down prices on certain items in the shop, one of the few things that can break his sense of tranquility.

Personality: Chance is relaxed until gil gets involved in which case his mind becomes either as narrow as an arrow (Trying to obtain), as stubborn as a bull (penny pinching), or as furious as a volcano's top (Losing gil), either way gil is the key factor that shifts his mood. He is what most people call a 'gentle giant' at heart however, and treats others with the same respect he expects to receive in return.

Clothes: It all depends on the job or activity, as Chance is a busybody, you are likely to see him change looks on the regular. It isn't uncommon to see him in the hyur racial gear, or in some form of a long-coat with lots of internal pockets.

Murlona. Roegadyn Sea Wolf. Very, very tall. Scholar, gourmet cook, taxidermist. She likes to wear pretty accessories in her hair. Mostly mage garb.

If anyone would be interested in working with Murlona, I would be really honoured. I know I'm not on the majority servers so I can't offer much ingame in trade.
