Minor character details

darthmongoose · Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 1:09 pm Post subject: Minor character details

The main character thread is dealing with the big details and character designs. But it occured to me that effectively drawing each other's characters can be hindered by drawing style. For example, I often draw Rocket with Black eyes, but they're actually dark turquoise/teal coloured.

So for each of your characters, I want a list of important things similar to the one I'm about to post. This will give us a better grasp of the character when drawing and writing them.

Elrekia Susan Lune (Rekki Lune)
age:18
height:5'3" (160cm)
build: Petite, but athletic.
Hair:Short, thick, very straight and blood red (dyed, naturally white)
Eyes:Green (note, they are NOT as bright green as FanDanGo Rekki's)
Skintone:Very pale. She has light freckles across her nose. Looks like if her hair was a natural colour, it'd be ginger.
other distinguishing features:Very straight eyebrows. A long, slim nose and a big mouth. Rather *cough* flat chested. Sharp featured face with striking eyes.
attractive? Not bad looking, not exactly a model, but interesting to look at, kind of cute when she smiles, but a little butch and pulls wierd expressions.
If she were an animal...A wild cat. Maybe an Oscelot?
Favourite food:Strawberry muffins. Likes strong tasting things and spicy things. Not keen on cold foods, especially not cold egg sandwiches.
Favourite drink: Coffee with two sugars. Also likes tea, if it's strong.
Personality in a nutshell Proud, wild, impetuous, firey, honest, straighfoward, blunt, independent, protective.

Rochette Lune (Rocket Lune)
age:15
height:5'1" (155cm)
build:petite, delicate and dainty, still developing.
Hair:Fine, but there's a lot of it, falls in stiff waves that flick outwards. Pure white all over.
Eyes:Dark turquoise, large and innocent, seem to suck you in...
Skintone: Similar to Rekki, maybe a fraction darker and less freckly. Her natural haircolour would maybe be honey blonde.
other distinguishing features: Looks a fair bit like her sister, but less sharp featured. softer, less straight eyebrows. Also younger, so has a slightly rounder face.
attractive?She's pretty cute, in the way a kitten is cute, you just wanna cuddle her....Not exactly a sex goddess...
If she were an animal...A rabbit. A little white fluffy rabbit.
Favourite foodwhite choc chip and raspberry cookies. Rocket likes delicately sweet things, like merangue, blueberries and rosepetal jam.
favourite drink: Either blackcurrant cordial or tea (fairly milky, one sugar).
Personality in a nutshell: Kind, selfless, naive, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, stubborn, loyal, hesitant, protective.

Sky McCloud (make fun of her name and she will KILL YOU. Or, you know. Knock you out, then tie your unconscious body down in a roller coaster.)
age:18
height:5'7"
build: Scrawny-ish. Lanky. Also, however I feel like drawing her at the time ;D
Hair: Brown with white fringe, in a disturbingly sonic the hedgehog-esque style.
Eyes: Right blue, left grey.
Skintone: As pale as you'd expect someone who is generally nocturnal or hiding in a warehouse.
other distinguishing features: Maniacal freakin' grin. Somewhat twitchy. Makes dramatic hand gestures.
attractive? If there wasn't OMG JUSTICE TO DO, she might actually focus on that. She can be cute, if you ignore what she's saying and/or doing.
If she were an animal... A chameleon. Or one of those tiny little brightly coloured poisonous frogs. OR A SPIDER MONKEY.
Favourite food: Curry pizza, BBQ pork buns, and unagi.
Favourite drink: Red bull and Frank's Red Hot Sauce.
Personality in a nutshell AVAST! THE UNDEAD FORCES OR ALIENS OR GUBMINT HAVE TRAPPED ME IN A NUTSHELL!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously- spastic, blindly optimistic, self-aware, confident, metaphorical, seemingly delusional, goddamn inscrutable. Loyal to her "people". Would do anything for them.

Character profiles! My specialty Very Happy

Cyrus Zanner
age: Twenty-five. Yes. And he's one of the younger ones ._.;;
height: Six feet even
build: Nothing outrageous. He has a healthy body size, no excess skin, but he's not particularly muscular either.
Hair: Black. Short. Doesn't often remember to cut his bangs ._.
Eyes: Blue. Nothing spectacular >.>
Skintone: ... I call it "normal", but I guess it's better described as "healthy". He's not abnormally pale or outrageously tan; a nice, normal, caucasian colour.
other distinguishing features: Sneers from time to time, almost spastically, just a quick jolt up of the top lip and a flash of a canine. And on the subject of canines, the point of his top right one is chipped to a flatten, but I'm not sure how much that'll come in handy :0
attractive? People have thought he is :0 Actually, that's just mysubconscious "talent" of making just about any guy I draw instantly mildly attractive. He's really nothing special; not hideously ugly, but not drop dead gorgeous either.
If he were an animal... ... he'd be a bear. Gruff, territorial, and... you... don't really want to go up to him and hug him ._.
Favourite food: Broccoli, and strips of beef covered in taco sauce and wrapped in a burrito.
Favourite drink: Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
Personality in a nutshell: Brash, anti-social, sarcastic, quiet, yet very protective over friends... though he'd never admit to having friends ._.

And who was the other one? Ah, yeah. Hikaru.

Hikaru Katai
age: Twenty-nine.
height: Five feet five inches.
build: Small, thin. Almost malnourished, but she does eat regularly.
Hair: Also black. Thin, smooth, runs down to the small of her back. Part rises from her left side.
Eyes: Brown
Skintone: Actually two-toned. Her face is a nice, sunkissed colour, though the rest of her body, constantly shrouded in an unnecessary bulk of clothing, is unhealthily pale.
other distinguishing features: Can't think of anything in particular :0 Though she is asian, which is something Charil herself continually forgets ._.
attractive? Not unusually. She's cute in a baby animal sense, but not supermodel gorgeous.
If she were an animal... ... she'd be a dog.
Favourite food: String beans in lemon juice
Favourite drink: Vanilla bean coffee
Personality in a nutshell: Obediant, loyal, shy; indecisive, especially on important issues.
