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!

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-

Ayako

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.

Elliot in the Rain

Hahahaha, I did use the same profile. :) I would die of joy if I could draw 3 heads that similar, gosh! Thank you very much. B)

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

This looks good! I like the hair a lot.

Ayako

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.

Link to cover

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.

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.
Photobucket Photobucket
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.

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.

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.

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.

Her brother James on the left, obviously, for that second one. God, I hate not being able to edit.

Asuka Neko

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

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. ^^;

Just a quick wee sketch I did the other night of an idea for the look of my FMC. I love elaborate hair styles. Always!

My novel is a Steampunk setting as I adore the Victorian theme with clothing, tech and dapper young gents.

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;

http://bloodroseangel.deviantart.com/art/C-e-l-e-s-t-i-a-l-243465527

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

It's good that you have physical representations of what you want them to look like though. :) It helps!

Ayako
13882 words so far

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.)

Ayako
13882 words so far

I've only got sketches done in class (no full color, cleaned up, nice stuff) buuut...

Wren, my MC
Wren (twice!) and Storm, a potential love interest
Group shot! Most of the secondary characters

Hopefully before November comes I'll get the chance to do some clean sketches or full color digital art.

Elliot in the Rain
50085 words so far Winner!

Your poses are nice! I'm really fond of coloring but it takes forever, haha.

Ayako
13882 words so far

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.

Elliot in the Rain
50085 words so far Winner!

Always have that problem. Perspective, aghh!

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.

Elliot in the Rain

I like the hair on Gryffin. :D I like your character designs.

Marcus Serafin

younger

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.
