Writing this journal, I feel I prematurely posted it. The goal was to get others talking about the writing process and how they approach it, but the emphasis became my work, which is a no-no! So with that in mind, here are some questions to take into consideration (and a silly one, because why not).
! Thank you very much!
Sketch: 20

What I intent to do:
Full beast mode AND robot mode in the one picture Backgrounds will varyPlease keep in mind the following:
I reserve the right to not draw a character. I have no idea how many (if any) people will respond to this offer. If I get very few, more chances are I will be able to do everyones. Others might take more time as I go back to university. If you ask for a request, I consider that you are obviously giving me permission to draw your OC (in a non-offensive manner)Perhaps most important to point out:
I am not the greatest artist, I am doing this as an exercise to improve while doing art I currently feel inspired to do. Artworks may vary in quality as I experiment, so if you want a Da Vinci go and pay someone - if my standards and experimenting is okay by you, then I'd be extremely happy to do some art of your characters!
Still interested? Send me a note containing the following: A single reference image of robot mode OR a written physical description; I would prefer it if your written description was limited to their appearance and a a couple of sentences of their personality (so I know what kind of character I'm drawing). I really don't want their life story, it takes me forever to read otherwise. You don't need a reference for beast mode if it is a normal animal. Fuzors and transmetals I would appreciate either a single reference image for beast mode or a written physical description.Note: For written descriptions, expect me to be more creative when iterpreting your character. I will do my best however to match your description.
And that's it, yes.
"Gone was the old blue and yellow color scheme. Green and white would suit his needs. His sleek alternate mode reminiscent of the sports cars of Earth was forgotten for something more durable, more suited for the hostile terrains terrorists and murderers liked to hide in: something tank-like, mounted on four independent leg-like treads. On the top he mounted a cannon-something to allow him to fight no matter what mode he was in. On a whim, he affixed a mechanical canine-like head to the front, symbolic of the lone wolf he was molding himself into. Despite the durability he aimed for in the design, he did not go overboard with the armor, preferring dexterity over bulk. His new design still retained a few influences from his Terran heritage, but not enough to betray where he had come from. As the design stage finalized, the computer automatically asked him if he wanted to affix a Maximal or Autobot symbol anywhere on his new body. He told it no."
Hope your having a good year so far!
The description is the form he took before taking on a beast mode. If you don't want to come up with a new design for him based on a description, using the preexisting pictures of him will suffice.
If you have the time, I recommend at least reading the final third of the story I linked you to. It'll probably make it easier to illustrate the character if you're familiar with his personality.
You know if I was still in Melbourne that task would be much easier coz I could just lend them to you (Beast Wars DVDs)
Rewatching is a good idea though, if we intend to start up a RP (the one I am yet to properly reply about
I'll probably have them sent in a note tomorrow, I need to call it a day XD
