Just going to turn this into an OOC/note taking blog. Because I like my notes online but I'm trying to quit tumblr. Expect lots of random updates for nothing. Sorry if that's annoying if this is somehow on the front page for a while.
DISCLAIMER My character ideas are often disturbing to some with content about but not centered around blasphemy, drug and alcohol abuse, questionable situations, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, etc. Also cursing. Lots of cursing. Contact me at if you need something, or just wanna rp even. I check Hangouts most. I need to make one of those fancy pop up warnings.
Speaking of, how do CSS?
Character shit
Just ideas I want to combine in a character for now, until it somehow actually merges into one. Don't expect fance..
Name???
Aino?
Bailey?
Everything subject to change even after I ever decide to drop him in the Forest.
Will always be in development. Subject to the experiences he is put through. Will change and grow accordingly.
Design+colors: ???
quirks:
what's not overdone? fdjska
(Contradictory) Personality traits I have for them for now:
• Shy but flirty? in a way
• Outgoing despite the shyness. Always inserting himself into groups, for better or worse.
• Vulgar 0 to 100 in .5 seconds don't even test *
• Generous with care, selfish with attention. There for anyone who he thinks would accept his care. When not, he's normally found lingering around those who give him the most attention, good or bad.
• Easy to buy. Love him? He's yours. Whether or not he feels the same in return, at all.
• Eager to please. A bit too eager.
• Restless. Always moving when not with someone he feels owns him.
• Unloyal. Will linger with whoever, regardless of their common friends or enemies. One person may hate another, and he will keep friendship. He seems incapable of recognizing this as wrong or hurtful.
• Forgiving to a point it could be considered neglectful. Will take a beating as it comes. Will easily come to a recurrent source of pain if they seem kind. Never seems to learn.
• May never stand up to anyone.
* With people he is extremely close to and are accepting
feel free to throw ideas if you bother to read this far
Although shapeshifters are
>If you're not good at humanoid-faced, then maybe that is what you should do. As an artist, it is a great idea to stray from your comfort zone every once and a while to expand your horizons and talents. Additionally, humanoid-faced characters are becoming rather scarce to me these days, especially considering the game's original purpose was to feature humanoid-faced deer (although I see now that isn't at all a required thing whatsoever, nor is it even leaned on.) Maybe a mix of an animalistic/humanoid face? I dunno, experiment maybe XD
> Simple design all the way! I have seen gorgeous characters with the simplest of designs. When people make super-duper complex designs it kind of scares me away from the idea of ever drawing them. I feel characters that are meant to be drawn a lot should be appealing yet at the same time, simple; not too simple as the detault TEF pelt (but even then, I would admire characters that manage to be that simple and stay that way, I have tried many times and failed lol) but simple to the point they are relaxing yet exciting to illustrate.
>Quirks or personality traits that I feel are quite overdone are the intensely dark or aggressive, the depressed grumps, or the arrogants, or anything depressive/demonic or devious (which I find strange sometimes considering the game is so peaceful XD) Perhaps more friendly or light-hearted quirks, ones that can be troubled but not to the point that it can be too dark. Again, experiment and mix things up a bit! Perhaps focus on the personality traits after the physical design can be visualized, to see what you feel fits. ^^
I apologies if this was not much help. ^^;; I'll be giving this a curious track, though!
Sorry this took so long for
Mainly shapes gifted (with extreme limitations) because I'm not feeling anything but one or the other with this baby. Normally I can do combos but it just doesn't feel right here. If you get what I mean? My characters kind of make themselves. I just
torturebuild up their stories from there.Aiming for a simple design here too..pastel I guess. Blacks and whites are nice and all but hoping for something a bit less extreme, without being entirely grey either.
Human faced definitely an option though..I imagine he'd be able to switch from muzzle to human in either dog or deer form after thinking on it.
For personality, I like characters I can beat up. I'm always a bit of a sadist with them I guess. Not to a great extent, but I thrive on sads.
