This is the latest picture I've drawn of my main character, Zach and Emily, but since this is an old idea I'm re-writing, I've drawn them before: here and here.
I've also got some stuff on my sketchblog, along with tons of other stuff; I've got more characters than I rightly know what to do with.
Woah. Hello amazing shading on clothes. I /hate/ drawing patterned and plaid clothing and stuff because it's so hard to keep looking good over fabric wrinkles and such, you did amazing! -mindblown-
Please tell me you used the same profile for the start of all of them. Please. I'll hate myself /forever/ if you can draw that similarly three times in a row. And all with the same size head. I love the outfits. I want the top person's boots and the bottom person's cape. Badly.
Guaagh! I love your style. The colors, the noses, eyes! lol this is how I want to draw! And I'm just not saying that. I want to draw more graphic like!
I love seeing WIP characters. It's so cool to see them go from flat colors and such to amazing full color things. I like Greta the most so far, but your men are awesome! I love the old-fashioned-y clothing paired with Casimir's dreads! :D
I looked at that, then looked here, then looked back there, then back here and was like "OMG! Your avatar/userpic!" He's got such nice lips... I think what looks off is that his eyes would be the middle of his face, yet his hair looks like it may go up much higher than the same eyes to chin length [/crappy phrasing] I had to really look at it to see that though. I love his curls over by his ears, such a cute detail.
Oooh one of my favorite forum topics :) it's always fun to see peoples pictures! But I have never posted any of my before, even thought I have tons of character pictures, because drawing them is almost more fun the writing them ;)
Yesterday I did a sketch of two characters of a story I'm currently writing Robin and Jens, one with insomnia and one who was in a car accident accidentally killing his best friend, but it's not my nanowrimo story, please ignore Jens very non ambitiously drawn lumber shirt.
The story I'm writing for nano is a children's book and my younger sister is illustrating that one as she is much better then me at drawing! So if she will allow me I'll post some pictures from that one.
lol I'll see if I post any other pictures I don't know why but it feels weirdly intimate of posting my character pictures, usually I never show people them. I thought of offering doing character sketches for people but I know I will be to lazy to do them.
[Edited by moderator to link to oversize image :)]
I really love the art style, it just feels so intriguing to me. The one on the left especially! ...I really wish you were doing character sketches (but I know how annoying those things can get *is also lazy*)
I draw my characters a lot... so be ready for a gazillion and a half. Okay, more like five. The first two are your average character drawings, with the first being Erim and the second Sharr. The two of them are the fire magicians in my story (there are two for each element) and they seem to be my favorites to draw. Next are all the multiple-character things. First two are Sharr and his best friend Gavin. They're a fun time (loons, the both of them). The last one is all five of the main characters, (left to right) Aria, Lincoln, Gavin, Sharr, and Rena.
That one of Erim is amazing. Like such good anatomy and posing, especially with the foreshortening of her left leg! And your feet! Lookit those feet on her! -dies- I want your talent. I wants it all now. And as stated by Elliot, great hair!
This is the MC, Galen, in college, which isn't exactly relevant to the story, but... it's art! I had a lot of other stuff done, but it's all for a story I decided I'm not doing... sigh.
Galen looks like my friend Mattie! <3 Black and white art is so hard, I'm so amazed at how good you are at it. Me, I'm all over the whole shading thing. Plain black and white to color and I'm sooooo dead!
The Wyndham daughters, Sarah (on the left) and Catherine (on the right). Catherine is the FMC and, as the Wyndhams are your typical big, screwed-up aristocratic family, she and Sarah have a...complicated relationship.
Catherine again on the right, with her brother James on the right. James is the MMC, and him and Catherine are besties, drawn together by their bitterness.
Awesome! It looks great! You make awesome faces and they have the greatest expressions, smug and snobish. They look like characters with a lot of secrets! 8D
Here are two of my characters, both androids~ X3 The second is a WIP, haha, I really need to finish him. Actually, you guys have inspired me to doodle some more character art right now, even though there's other stuff I should be doing. X'D I drew a lot of art of my NaNo characters last year but this year I've been too busy to get round to it. ^^;
I wrote about androids last year. They're a fun time. I am LOVING the details on the second one! I hope you finish him soon~ I'd love to see it when you're done!
I love drawing androids. I suck at drawing androids. XD
I love the unfinished look of your second one. It's just gives it a really interesting feel. But at the same time, I can't wait to see the finished product!
Because of my current pitiful lack of character art for this year and the fact that I don't like most of my artwork from last year any more, I'm just going to randomly link to a couple of characters I plan to put in a future sci-fi NaNo story, because by the time I get round to writing it, I probably won't like this picture any more. XD;
I'm thinking the story will probably end up being a crazy crossover between a load of my previous stories - this year's, 'Wired'; my Avatar fan-story 'Pandora Dreams' and its sequel 'Pandora Wakes', and a new one. And maybe I will throw in some of the characters from my biggest series, Mythralia (not all 150+ of them though xD).
Oh, and also, meet my muse: http://bloodroseangel.deviantart.com/art/Chillin-213833335
That's Kirrin. :D The awesome LadyOfTheSeireitei on dA made me a plush of him, which you can see here: http://ladyoftheseireitei.deviantart.com/art/Art-Trade-Kirrin-Plushie-262237968 If it arrives in time for NaNo, something tells me he'll be my writing buddy! <3
That said, I'm working on a few doodles for my current NaNo story at the moment, so I'll put them up here when I finish them. :D
I'm not an artist. But I wanted to draw pictures of my characters anyway. Behold, my beautiful creations with disproportionate heads and weird mitten-hands.
You draw a lot better than some people I know! And figuring out how their hair and mouths are set is half the part of drawing faces, so good job there! And proportion... well who really likes that anyways? (I can't ever get my eyes symmetrical when I draw head on things. It drives me mad.)
Thank you! Poses drive me mad. Mostly because I want to be able to draw poses that I can't draw, so I'm focusing all my art lately on difficult poses. And groups. Usually, I put more than one person in the picture and they look off, one too big, the other too small, and such.
Aaaah, thank you! He has a profile-thing here, which isn't as good as I'd like it to be, but it's something. More drawings and odds and ends are over here on my blog.
I don't have character art for this nano, since drawing people in any not-horrible way takes considerable time and effort on my part. So here are my runaway children, from my year-round project, "The Asphalt Messiah."
Gryffin, a slippery little hustler/pretty boy, whose picture is unfortunately sideways.
...and Lucas Nguyen, the charismatic titular character, a runaway from a broken home. He either has magic powers or fast hands, but either way is always good for bus tokens. He's also supposed to be half Vietnamese, though my questionable artistic skills doubtless fail to communicate that.
Funny thing with him, he's stuck in the main characters head 90% of the story and without a body, yet he's the only character I've done any drawings for.
Post your character art!
Drawn your characters? Has someone else drawn them for you? Have any references for what you think they might look like? Post them here. :)
These are my two main characters, and a side character. I drew them myself. Here are their outfits, too. Post away!
Re: Post your character art!
The earring on the one that's in your profile picture is so cool!

Re: Post your character art!

Re: Post your character art!
Guaagh! I love your style. The colors, the noses, eyes! lol this is how I want to draw! And I'm just not saying that. I want to draw more graphic like!
Re: Post your character art!
Here are three of my characters this year. Hopefully I will get the chance to do more at some point.



Casimir
Svend
Greta (still a WIP)
Re: Post your character art!
Your character design is awesome! I wish I could do the same for mine. I have no idea what your story is about, but I already want to read it!
Re: Post your character art!
I love seeing WIP characters. It's so cool to see them go from flat colors and such to amazing full color things. I like Greta the most so far, but your men are awesome! I love the old-fashioned-y clothing paired with Casimir's dreads! :D
Re: Post your character art!
Oooh I love Greta's costume design. You have a real knack for it.
Re: Post your character art!
Those are all really good! I have one digital painting of my character's face; still doesn't look quite right though...

James in uniform, just for kicks (he gets drafted in 1916).
I actually have a few more drawings of James, including one of him with his lover Richard, but they're not entirely worksafe.
Re: Post your character art!
Her brother James on the left, obviously, for that second one. God, I hate not being able to edit.
Re: Post your character art!
Well, he's on her right, so it's all ok.
I really like the second one of James! He looks good in a uniform :3
Re: Post your character art!
Are you sure that's not James on the right in a dress? XD
I really, really like that first picture, it's so elegant!

Wren, my MC
Wren (twice!) and Storm, a potential love interest
