(tentatively) offering character sketches

[I just wrote a very long post and then I was stupid and accidentally deleted it, so hopefully this will work better the second time around. >.<]

There are a lot of lovely artists in this forum already doing character art, and I would like to join the party and offer my own. I recently got a tablet, and so this'll be a nice chance to get some practice. I draw in a rather simple style (see below), and thus the realism department (as in, lifelike portraits) might be a little lacking. I'm fine with drawing both people and animals, although anthropomorphisms are problematic, sorry. As for color, please specify whether you would like a sketch or full color; color obviously takes longer.

Here are a few examples of what I mean.

The tentative part comes from the fact that I am quite busy with school, and so things might take a while to complete. I'm going to try my best, and hopefully the wait won't be too long. ^^; And also, as previously mentioned, my skills with a tablet need practice.

tl;dr: I would love to do character art for you, but school-related circumstances may make filling requests slow. :D

So, yeah, if you would like to request something, please fill out this form; nothing needs to be very exact, just enough for me to get an idea:

name:
age:
hair color:
eye color:
face shape:
build:
general personality:
clothing:
type of drawing (sketch or full color):
other (is there anything I forgot to add to the list? any extra comments? if you have a PB/actor in mind, put it here; if there's a particular sort of facial expression/posture you have in mind that has not previously been mentioned, put it here!):

Could you draw my FMC, please? :D

Name: Macy Nova (Shadow)

Age: 14

Hair color: brown like this kind of hairstyle.

Eye color:Right eye brown & Left eye red

Face shape: Maybe triangle...ish?

Build: Strong, a bit on the skinny side

General personality: Recklessly brave. She cares a lot for her friends but often does not make the best desicions. She's kind of tomboyish and if provoked will get into a psyical fight.

Clothing: Black clothes. You can do that however you want. Macy isn't a fan of skirts and dresses though. :)

Type of drawing (sketch or full color): Doesn't matter

Other: Macy has a long smooth black tail that's as long as she is. It's shaped like a lizard/snake tail but flexable like a cat's tail. Could you add that in?

name: Lara

gender: female

age: 17

hair color: Strawberry blonde. (http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/transformation/2011-blake-lively-400.jpg) The kind of messy waves-almost-curls that are like touchable art, even when nothing's been done to it other than a quick brushing. A typical Lara hairstyle is a single messy braid draped over her shoulder. Fairly long.

eye color: Green-grey and wide.(http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/11/115464/42_2008/db8c3320d5cbb667___11_Final_eye.xlarger.jpg)

face shape: Bonnie Wright-esque features, but with a facial shape that's more oval/heart-shaped than Bonnie's. (http://i2.listal.com/image/1121048/500full.jpg) (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhktsrI8RV1qegnx8o1_500.jpg)

build: 5'6" and fairly lean (but not to the point of "skinny"). Athletic with gentle curves, and toned. Tall(ish) and long-limbed, she has quite slender hands and narrow feet.

general personality: She's always curious, and quite quirky. Isn't terribly mopey; loves to smile and tries to make the best of most things. Once she's awake, she's awake, and when tired, is either unresponsive or bouncing off the walls.

Clothes: She's not too concerned with that sort of thing. A cool graphic tee, comfy jeans, and a quiet pair of Converse are enough to make her happy. And, of course, a swimsuit beneath all that so she can dive into the pool when she wants to. (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/tshirts/time-to-prioritize-tee) (http://www.purple-oval.co.uk/lg_images/Lee_Leola_Boot_Cut_Jeans_BBJD.JPG) (http://media.photobucket.com/image/baby%20blue%20converse/tonyab4/Chuck%20Taylor%20Ox/6900-29582-d.jpg)

Notes: She was a smattering of very light freckles across her nose, and a fairly unobtrusive beauty mark high on her left cheek, near her eye, and looks quite beachy for a New Yorker. She wears a particular ring all the time. (http://www.etsy.com/listing/84237871/little-waves-sterling-silver-ring-100?ref=sr_9388fdfdbb184f198f2039aff23865b29ad1c0c1918152372e35e2d133d86e46_1322949419_14136064_ring)

Also, if it's not too much trouble, would you mind if i added a second character to my request to be with Lara? sorry, but i gotta know ;) NaNoMail me if you like, and thanks for offering!!

PS. for the record, your artsies are pretty awesome :)

I'm giving you two options! I'm not asking for both (though it would be spectacular if you have time), just offering them so you have a choice. If one of them is easier/less time consuming, do that one. :D Thanks so much. Your drawings are cute.

name: Mariana
age: 18
hair color: light blonde, not white but not yellow
eye color: blue
face shape: roundish
build: tall and thin, but not extremely so. Lithe. She wears a corset, though, so that helps the waist bit.
general personality: Mariana tries to be a proper lady-- she wants to be, sort of!-- but it doesn't really work. She likes exploring and being devious too much. She's extremely naive, and has a bit of a temper.
clothing: something Edwardian. 1900-1905ish. Know the Gibson Girls? A tame version of that
type of drawing (sketch or full color): either!
other: I imagine her looking like Anna Maria Muehe sort of. also, perhaps her look could be a determined sort of thing?

name: Julian
age: 27
hair color: brown with a red tint, though nothing noticeable
eye color: sea green
face shape: round
build: average. he's rather short for a man (I'd say 5'7") and not terribly 'fit,' though far from overweight. he's just average-- nothing too impressive, just your average guy.
general personality: Julian's very content. That's a good word to describe his life, up until he meets Mariana. He's a photographer, so he has an inate interest in a lot of things, but he doesn't go out of his way to get into trouble. He's friendly but easily frustrated.
clothing: His clothes are plain too. He usually wears dressy blue jeans and a dress shirt, with or without a vest.
type of drawing (sketch or full color): either way!
other: he's almost like a skinnier, non-bespectacled, non-bearded Colin Meloy.

name: Lizzie
age: 22
hair color: Blonde, curly
eye color: Blue
face shape: Heart
build: Short, quite thin
general personality: Bubbly, laughing, fiery
clothing: She is wearing a Victorian dress, under a red cape if possible
type of drawing (sketch or full color): Full Colour :D
other (is there anything I forgot to add to the list? any extra comments? if you have a PB/actor in mind, put it here; if there's a particular sort of facial expression/posture you have in mind that has not previously been mentioned, put it here!): Nope, that's it

Thankyou

Willing to draw a character in a scene? if not character is just fine :)

name: May Nicholas
age: 20
hair color: very dark brown- almost black
eye color: Hazel- but mostly blue and green
face shape: rounded, very tanned skin
build: athletic, not exactly super skinny- model type
general personality: stubborn, curious. Tilts her head a lot when she's thinking. Rolls her eyes when she thinks people are stating the obvious or she is annoyed. She also crosses her arms when she thinks she's going to have to argue about something. May likes alone time and being able to relax being who she is. By trade she's an archeological diver. She is currently working in the ruins of New York city (most of NYC is under 700 feet of water... only the tops of buildings remain above the water, and those have been converted into a new city with pathways between the buildings.
Things that are always with her when she dives are her breathing apparatus (steampunk-ish contraption she puts in her mouth) and he conversion board (a surf board that also can used to wind surf with a sail that collapses)
clothing: She wears board shorts, and a wick-ing rash guard shirt. both dark solid colors, with a twist- they might not look exactly how they do in present time as this story has a sort of Victorian steam-punk nature to it.
type of drawing (sketch or full color): I would love full color, if you have time, but sketch would be fine... as I mentioned if you could draw her in the scene that would be great. Specifically her on her board on the water with the ruins of the city around her.
other (is there anything I forgot to add to the list? any extra comments? if you have a PB/actor in mind, put it here; if there's a particular sort of facial expression/posture you have in mind that has not previously been mentioned, put it here!):

You can read the entire scene here if you would like: http://studyinfiction.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/nanowrimo-complete/

If you aren't too busy i would love one.

name: Coby

age: 15

hair color: Black, it is fairly long, straight hair that hits him just above his shoulders. his bangs would easily cover his eyes if he didn't sweep them to the left.

eye color: Smokey-light green

face shape: somewhat ovalish, but not to an extreme

build: He is fairly averaged height and fairly thin, but not too thin

general personality: He is pretty laid back, and just goes with the flow of most things but when it comes to it he's really independent.

clothing: He can always be found wearing a pair of loose fitting black and purple/blue plaid pajama pants. he also usually wears a dark purple zip-up hoodie with a black shirt underneath

type of drawing (sketch or full color): Full color would be great if you have time but sketch is fine too!

other (is there anything I forgot to add to the list? any extra comments? if you have a PB/actor in mind, put it here; if there's a particular sort of facial expression/posture you have in mind that has not previously been mentioned, put it here!):

Name: Damen Snow
Age: 24, almost 25
Hair Color: Damen's hair is a straight, black mess that looks like someone once took a kitchen knife to it. It's a spiky, chaotic mess that's very rarely brushed.
Eye Color: Pale greenish-gray
Face Shape: Thin oval
Build: Tall, around 6'3", and rail-thin.
General Personality: Mentally unstable, prone to wild mood swings and ferocious violence. When he's in control of himself, he's very cool and apathetic. He's very loyal to those he serves, and he's very good at his job, which is keeping people in line. He's starved for a bit of affection, so no kind deed will be forgotten easily.
Clothing: Long sleeved gray button-down shirt, dark jeans
Type of Drawing: Sketch, please
Other: If I was going to pick an actor for him, he would be a taller, thinner Ian Somerhalder. As for a pose, anything with him holding a pocketknife in his left hand would be great.

I love your art.
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. I squealed out loud when I saw your Lafayette drawing (Me=HUGE History geek)! :D Anyway, I would adore a sketch of one of my characters. I'm torn between these two charies, so please choose the one that tickles your fancy most- I don't want both! :)
Without further ado~

name: Ignatius Hamilton (Iggy, for short)
age: 13 (he was born in 1765)
hair color: Blond, shoulder length, tied back with a black ribbon.
eye color: Blue
face shape: Oval
build: Sturdy and well built
general personality: Cavity-inducing sweet, but is terribly naive and fails to see the big picture in any given situation. It's either black or white, and that's when he's being perceptive. Iggy is unusually innocent for his age; if around kids his age from nowadays, he'd probably teased for being a 'baby'.
clothing: He wears off-white/buff breeches, a white shirt, a Yankee blue coat with yellow buttons, and black boots (sort of like a mock Continental Army soldier uniform). He also wears a black tricorne hat, but it's optional.
type of drawing (sketch or full color): Colour would be lovely if you have the time~
other: In my story, there are 'three' Iggys: Ghost Iggy, Living Iggy, and Undead Iggy. All of them look as described above, except ghost Iggy is translucent and Undead Iggy is, well, undead and kind of shabby from being so. You can choose which one to draw. As for the mood, no matter which Iggy you do choose, it should be lonely.
~OR~
name: Ezekiel Thompson (Zeke)
age: 19
hair color: Black, long enough to be slicked back, and messy.
eye color: Greyish blue
face shape: Heart-shaped.
build: Average, but on the scrawny side.
general personality: Bombastic, loud, a bit of a playboy, and pretty obnoxious. He's more melodramatic than a teenage girl, but is a good friend under all his quirks.
clothing: 1920s suit, like so: http://www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/images/1920sjazz_suit.jpg
type of drawing (sketch or full color): Colour if you have the time
other): Not much. Here's a reference pic- http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4750214633_aae98915fa.jpg. The only difference is that his eyes aren't that blue and his hair is parted on the left. For a pose, something energetic- like standing on a chair or preparing to do a handstand or gesturing his arms like a European.
Anyway, thank you so much for even considering this! Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays!

Place Holder! ;)

name: Orin Odaine
age: 15
hair color: Black
eye color: Brown
face shape: Oval
build: Tall and on the extremely lanky side.
general personality: Orin, despite his young age, is severely corrupted. He is the bastard son of the Queen and a Knight, and has grown up showered in dirty looks and degrading comments. He struggles severely with his emotions and is battling within himself. One side of him is greedy, selfish, cruel, vengeful, and tries to murder Aiden multiple times.. The other side is confused, clumsy, awkward, and wants more than anything to be what people expect him to be.
clothing: Something very similar to this: http://armadria.deviantart.com/art/Watson-Stephan-189574963 He would also have a short sword in his hand/on his back, and multiple daggers strapped to random places.
type of drawing (sketch or full color): Full color would be nice, but a sketch is ok too.
other: An actor to play him would be Colin Morgan. I would like for him to look utterly beaten in every sense of the word. If it helps, his theme song would be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qOvNgEsZ9s

She has a small scratch under her left (if you're facing here it would be on your right) eye. She also wears this turquoise necklace that looks a bit this Only it's simpler just a chain and a rock.
And can her facial expression should look a bit like this.

I'd love it if you could do one for me, I really like your art. Thanks!

Heyy are you still doing these? I love your drawings and I'd love to see my character :$

If possible :D

name: Saffira (Saffy)
age: 16
hair color: Long, dark, quite tangly, like she doesn't bother looking after it much. Normally she'd have it covering both ears cos she's self conscious about them, but could you have it side parted and tucked behind one? She's an elf, but for unpleasant family reasons had the tips of her pointy magical ears chopped off when she was only little, so now they're flat at the top and scarred from the amputation.
eye color: Deep blue.
face shape: Quite heart shaped & delicate.
build: Slender - verging on scrawny, because she's not quite developed her 'woman' shape yet, but she's getting there. So just starting to get a waist and fill out a bit, but mostly still a bit 'gawky teenager'.
general personality: She's quite tough and angsty - hurt but sweet inside. She's not the angry, yelling at everybody sort of angsty, so I imagine she'd do a bit of a shy smile for a photo :)
clothing: Oversized black zip-up hoodie. Apart from that, probably jeans... And there's this necklace she wears all the time. It's silver, old, antiquey looking, with a big sapphire.
type of drawing (sketch or full color): I'd love full colour but sketch would be awesome too, whatever you're able to do :D
other (is there anything I forgot to add to the list? any extra comments? if you have a PB/actor in mind, put it here; if there's a particular sort of facial expression/posture you have in mind that has not previously been mentioned, put it here!): I thiiiink that's all :) Thank you so much if you get round to this - could you NaNoMail me if you do?

Thanks, hope school's going well :) x

WOW I wish I could draw like you do...all I can do are stick figures. D:

name: Catalina
age: 17
hair color: Black
eye color: Ocean blue
face shape: Round
build: Slender
general personality: She's a cliche. She's the EPITOME of cliche (that's kind of the point in my novel.) Catalina is the typical virtuous girl who lives alone with her father by the ocean. She is innocent and idealistic. She often stands on the cliffs for hours on end to watch the sea and once stayed up all night trying to follow the moon.
clothing: White linen dress, like this: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=dark+haired+girl+ocean&hl=en&biw=1920&bih=922&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=zG3yfwIlWCdlEM:&imgrefurl=http://thawriterzsoundtrack.blogspot.com/&docid=u4VDrccpTUVzRM&imgurl=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qCKJjSqo0gc/TGHcbV7PEGI/AAAAAAAAAD8/6Wuq7Fmj230/s1600/ocean,sad,woman,dark,hair,dress,girl-f7237054f369aca58041b635c3bfa3d2_h.jpg&w=499&h=333&ei=IxEuT-CCJ-OdiQKX6JW_Cg&zoom=1
type of drawing (sketch or full color): I'd love a full-color.
other (is there anything I forgot to add to the list? any extra comments? if you have a PB/actor in mind, put it here; if there's a particular sort of facial expression/posture you have in mind that has not previously been mentioned, put it here!):
She looks a lot like this:
http://faestock.deviantart.com/gallery/33686878?offset=288#/d1v9bmr
or like the Selkie pictures here:
http://faestock.deviantart.com/gallery/33686878?offset=312

Thank you so much. Take as much time as you need.

Thanks a lot for the sketch! Good luck with everything.

:3 I love your art. Would you do me the honor of drawing for me?

name: Rachelle
age:17-19
hair color: a rambunctious unruly mass of reddish-auburn curls
eye color: blue
face shape: round if hair is back, oval if left down
build: tall for a girl, flirting the border between curvy and average.
general personality: energetic and mischievous
clothing: She's a pirate! Tricorn hate, fancy jacket with the fancy sleeves, leather boots (her boots have heels). She wears pants, tucked into the boots. She also has either an eyepatch or a monocle. I leave this to your discretion.
type of drawing (sketch or full color): Up to you! If it is a sketch though, could you make it blue?
other : She has a ferret! His name is Timothy, and he has soft brown fur. I leave the pose up to you!
