I love his face Burt! I can totally see that face going good and evil.

**Moai** · August 5th, 2009

So, a few of the main character/race ideas I remember discussing a few days ago are orc/crayfish, elf/mantis, dwarf/molerat, and human/bird.
I've done the first two. Here's my stab at human/bird.
He's a beach-living character, and his class is probably a summoner. Again, no armor, but this time I think his magical and spiritual power makes up for that.
There ya go.

I dig the bird themed human sketch Moai. Has a bit of a Native American feel. very cool. Maybe give him that stereotypical Native American arched "beak" nose. I like his recessed eyes too. I've had someone tell me I look like a bird before. An eagle specifically. I think its the large nose combined with recessed eyes/protruding brow structure and eyebrow shape that makes me look angry all the time. I also have thin lips that have somewhat of a beak like point in the center.

EDIT: painted swamp orc some more. hes still in his undies though...

Here's a bard design.

I'm not so happy about her, looks too... ordinary, nothing interesting. I'm still not sure whether to go with conventional races or creating a new race...seems like everyone is doing some kind of hybrid...I feel more compelled to do something that's conventional but make it different somehow.

Cool sketches! The new sketches look a bit lower tech though. Do we want to go full-out tribal?

Sorry for the short comment - must sleep

Did a new quick and dirty turtle dwarf sketch - this one is probably the good twin.

great! really interesting designs so far!

OMG.... after 7 episode of X-files, half pack of chocolate, hitting my head to the wall several times....

I finally finally get the feeling I want!!!

ah....that feels good~~~~

I have a strong feeling this is the character I want to do, but let me sleep on it. If I'm sill feeling it tomorrow, then this is it~

**fluorine** · August 6th, 2009

face, good vs. evil... and as always, the evil side is just more fun!

**Moai** · August 6th, 2009

So, I was planning on drawing more of a dwarvish character, but I got sidetracked into reading about Japanese weaponry and the history of Middle-Earth on Wikipedia.

Reading about Japanese weaponry and mythology led me to draw this character. He's an Oni, an ogre-like being of Japanese folklore. The third eye on his forehead really isn't a traditional feature of Oni, but it's a common feature for gods and demons in Buddhist cultures.
On to the next drawing!

Worked a bit more on the face. I'm not sure with her skin color and color scheme. I think it's probably better to give the good version normal skin color, and some bright spring color scheme, and give the evil version pale skin, dark color clothing. But that would be too ordinary, something people expect to see. I feel that maybe, I can give the good nice vibrate color clothing, and the evil side pale skin, dark de-saturated clothing plus some vibrate red.

Moai, I like your orc, he goes pretty well with my assassin in style~~~

Burtzum, your ideas on Dwarf head structure are very similar to mine, as may (or may not) be evident in this sketch.

A dwarf! Like I remarked in our conversation today, his body is nice and Japanese, but his head looked like it came from somewhere in the former Soviet Union...Oh well!

So, yeah, I'm gonna be gone this weekend. I won't be uploading any sketches or chatting in Messenger, but I will probably have internet access for at least some of the weekend, so if one of you could post any decisions or major discussion points in this thread, I'd appreciate it.

flourine: coming along nicely! love her make-up. her hair seems a tad high (the front part that is pulled tight against her scalp). Really digging the colors.

burt: Nice facial studies! Funny... he looks like someone I know

moai: totally like the japanese demon guy. His horns reminds me of this deer thing with horns or fangs growing out of its face, don't remember what it's called. I really like the costume you have going on on the dwarf.

Still don't have a solid idea... more doodles.

Thanks, Nightblue!
Cool batch of sketches. To me, the sketches on the middle row are the strongest, both in design and in silhouette.

**fluorine** · August 8th, 2009

nightblue, I like the guy right in the center.

I'm working a different version of my character...then I'll alter the one I had and make her the evil side~~~ Hopefully we will all have a character by the end of this week, so we can working on bring them together.
