Title: Character Sketch Requests
Post by: RoseHeart on August 18, 2019, 05:55:42 pm
Hi, I am always trying to improve my art skills. Here is a thread where you can request a character from popular fiction or an original character. It can also be characters interacting like a panel. If the thread isn't locked I will consider requests. This is not first come first serve, and if I can't think of anything for a suggestion I wont do it.

Now a group of sleeping dwarves waiting as one talks to another, probably in a beer hall.
Lets see how close you get to the picture in my head.
I actually had a similar idea for an artist and writer to develop their skills.  The writer tries to describe a scene, the artist tries to draw it, and they compare how close they were to the other's mental picture.

"A group of 5 dwarves in Steel breastplate with Steel horned helmets are in a beer hall.  The fire is burning in the brick fireplace.  Three are sleeping in wooden chairs.  One has their bronze two-headed battleaxe next to him on the ground.  One, a female dwarf with red braided hair has a steel mace at her belt.  The final male dwarf has his spear laying on the ground with a steel head.

A meager settlement, the dwarves are wearing brown cloth or leather pants.  Only the sleeping female has iron greaves strapped to her legs.  The two standing dwarves are male, one shorter with a small beard is talking to the taller one with the long but thin beard.  The shorter dwarf has on a pair of thin steel spectacles.  The shorter dwarf is talking with a beer mug in his hand and a cheap copper sword on his belt in a ragged leather scabbard.  The overhead lanterns are off, the roaring fire the only source of light.  The full moon is visible through the window. An Easel is next to the taller dwarf."

Thanks.  I had actually pictured them in the middle of the beer hall, but your picture makes more sense.  That should help in my future writing.

I think the up-facing side of the hilt guard kind of reads as the rear-side armpit, implying a flat chest. I also challenged myself to not use boobs as a defining feminine characteristic*, but this also helps the former misconception.

*I used to draw a comic for the high school paper, the characters were an animal humanoid-style like this (way before I'd ever heard of a 'furry' character) the principle called me into the office because a female character, a cat or fox or something, humanoid covered in hair, had breasts and he saw it as nude. My main character was a male vilocoraptor who didn't wear clothes(titular character of this 'Ryan the Raptor' comic strip set in highschool, and previous comics with Ryan hadn't been a problem). It was all very much in the spirit of warner bros animal characters like Bugs and Daffy. At least in my head, admittedly the proportions were more real. Anyway, I didn't really get in trouble, but they wouldn't run it, and it was in the back of my mind making this.

That all said, flat-chested women can be feminine, so maybe I need to work on bringing that out more next-time.

...apparently, you didn't catch the joke about your character being a Catboi.  Look at where the "sword" is being held

Ah yes, a dick joke. What a classic.  —________—

Me, as I am weighing if it is even worth pointing out the sword is extending from her left side, very far back and high, like I am back in the principle's office again. (https://youtu.be/GTKvngWnvDs)
