The Art of Characterization

Greetings, friendly forest friends! As some of you may have noticed or participated in, there has been a trend going about regarding users looking for opinions and critique of their characters. It was brought up to me that maybe an advice blog on characterization might be helpful. I will say that I am not the greatest writer in the world, but I shall try my best to provide a few tips and techniques when it come to creating, defining, and developing your character. New information may be added in the future if people request for additional help or if anyone wishes to add onto my existing list.

Let's begin. My lovely example tonight will be the newest addition to my little family, Cypher, since Shiori's art work deserves to be shown and he has been the character I have dedicated the most time to for development.

"Wait...This was never in my contract."

Get over it! Moving on!

The title pretty much explains all of it because every art she has is when she was a fawn.So if anyone wants to practice their drawing or something can you pratice drawing Natali?Thanks =)

Natali woke up.Strangely she felt..different?She stood up and she felt heavier than usual and she was so much taller!"What has happened to me??"She thought as she walked to the Pond fearing what she might see in the water.When she reached the water she took a deep breath then looked down.There,looking back at her was a grown up Natali!She gasped and smiled a big smile."Finally!I'm grown now!I..also gained weight...hmm well for a adult I'm still slender.."She said to herself.She walked a bit trying to get used to her small hooves that had to support her long legs and long body.Finally she went to rest in the Old Oak and fell asleep.


"Hello!"Natali opened her eyes and rolled them at her biological father."Can I not sleep without you in my dreams??"She said."Well I forgot to tell you that I won't need you anymore.I know we said that we would meet again when you were grown.But since your mother already died I don't need your immortality.." "So you were just going to leave me defenceless while I'm still trying to get used to being a adult?I..I couldn't think of you as a worse parent ever...Just leave me alone from now on ok?Please..I just...*sigh* goodbye..."With that Natali stirred awake.

"Oh well at least I can sleep peacefully now.."She though before she went to the Pond for a drink of water.

Just a special request because Kaoori and Wesker really deserve it. I don't know how to edit screenshots so anything you'd like to do is amazing. There are three in total I took of them and I think they would be really nice edited in any way.

I can write you a poem in return if you'd like one.

Thank you!

SO my new internet router doesn't seem to be playing well with TEF. I don't know what I'm going to do. I hope I will see you all again sometime (er my deer will see your deer again XD) But I'm at a loss now. Sigh. I love this game. I just don't know how I'm going to play it if my pictos don't spread :| But please, don't forget about me!! I will do whatever I can to get the pictos to spread, which right now I can do nothing and only wait to see the outcome. So, always know that I will be following the community site. I hope that my pictos will spread sometime soon <3

my deer changes pelts more than a chameleon changes colors! XD
