Character Sketches

SCENE, CHARACTER, COVER? : Character!Brief description on it: A girl of about 13 sitting by a stream with her feet in it.
In depth details: Ivy (The character) has long, straight, straw-brown hair that goes to the small of her back. It's usually in a messy braid, and spare strands usually fall in her face. She has bright green eyes that look like emeralds with a twinge of gold. She's sitting near a stream with bare feet, and her feet are in the stream. She's wearing jeans that are cuffed up to her knees. Her shirt is a lime green, with her sleeves cuffed up at her elbow. Also, her shirt is loose and has buttons on the front. She's sitting in some tall green grass.
Character's name: Ivy
Title of the piece: None, please
I know this is probably not an easy request, but I would love it if one of you talented folks could try.
SCENE, CHARACTER, COVER: Mostly character.
Brief description on it: A 17 year old young woman standing in a threatening position with dual broadswords.
In depth details: This character is on the small side: 5'4"-ish and skinny. She has limp, dirty-blonde hair that falls just a few inches short of her lower back; it's not quite straight, not quite wavy. Her nose is a little crooked, her eyebrows naturally darker than her hair, and she has pale green eyes with a little brown in the center. Her facial expression should be kind of hard or cold. She has scars all over her hands, mostly from training since she was a child. If she could have the dual broadswords crossed in front of her, that would be cool. This takes place in a fantasy world, so I guess her clothes would be something similar to a tunic, leggings, and boots. (If you're the black-and-white type, feel free to ignore my color descriptions.)
Your name or characters name: Her name is Ika.

CHARACTER!Ok, so I'm writing a book called Something Else Entirely and I'd like a picture of my character Patch Romero.
Patch is a highschooler, probably a junior. He has sharp features but soft expressions. He has very faded freckles (and only a few of them, not even barely noticable). BRIGHT green eyes. Spikey red (the color of leaves in the fall - NOT orange at all) hair (only about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch tall from his head - so, short spikes). He always avoids wearing green 'cause he thinks it makes him look like a leprachaun. He mows lawns for people a lot and builds a tree house throughout the book, so he has to be sort of muscular, but not the kind of muscular that you'd be like "wow look at those muscles." Very subtle muscles. He's thin and lean, and looks like someone who could probably run really fast. He wears jeans and t-shirts most of the time. No piercings, nothing like that. He's very sweet and always thinks of others before himself.
Here are some links to a few scenes with him in it, just so u can get a better idea of his character to draw him.
Meeting Patch - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
Second Meeting - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
Closer - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2... (this one shows way more of his character, so it's definitely something you need to read)
Halloween - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
So, yep! If you could read all this (sorry it's so much :P) and draw a picture, I'd love you for like ever. And if i can get more than one person to do these pictures, so i can see which one i think looks most like him, that'd be WONDERFUL!!
Thank you :D
sorry! i forgot about that privacy thing. i think i removed it so you can try again and i hope it will work!

Aw, I'd look, but it says your data is private. :( :(
uggh! it won't let me remove it from being private does anyone know how i can just upload the images into the discussion or how i can put them into the groups photos?
okay, try looking at the photos now. i changed somethings to my profile so you guys can hopefully see them.

So, i read you descriptions and drew Patch. He sounds really awesome and cute. i hope you like the drawing and i hope i got close enough to what he looks like and the right red for his hair.
http://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/1...
That's really good! Not quite how I pictured him (I picture him a bit more sharp haha). And yeah, the hair is the exact right color! But he doesn't ever wear green... hahaha. It's fine though. I appreciate this sooo much! You are an amazing artist! Would you mind doing my next character? I think I'm going to post some more because this is exciting me :)
CHARACTER!Ok, so I'm writing a book called Something Else Entirely and I'd like a picture of my character Tanner Knight.
Tanner is a highschooler, probably a junior. He has dirty blond hair (he looks kind of like this picture http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2iSSI8Mqc5c... only Tanner has a more square jaw and just not as soft features as this guy, whoever he is :P) and deep deep brown eyes. He's about as tall as Patch. He rides motorcycles, is super hot, all the girls love him. He's a huge flirt, can be either romantic or cold towards someone. Usually wears a white or black t-shirt under leather jackets or something.
Here are some links to a few scenes with him in it, just so u can get a better idea of his character to draw him.

Who Knows? - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
The Flirt - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
Ooh La La - http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
So, yep! If you could read all this (sorry it's so much :P But it's important you read all these so you can get a picture of his personality better) and draw a picture, I'd love you for like ever. And if i can get more than one person to do these pictures, so i can see which one i think looks most like him, that'd be WONDERFUL!!
Thank you :D

In depth details: He has this sly but trusting look on his face. His cheek has very faint scratches, due to an accident he had playing tennis. (Someone smashes his glasses on his face.) He looks to the left. He has a white tee and jeans, and has a racket in his hand.

Will you do one for me?
My character is named Merrilee. She has greenish-blue eyes (so kind of hazel, but leaning more towards the blue side) and curly black hair that hits just under her bust. She has a slight side bang to the right that sort of angles down and blends with her hair. She has long dark eyelashes. Also, she's wearing purple eyeshadow and can she have a giant white lily in her hair? Then for a shirt she's wearing a purple v-neck.
Thanks, much. :D

Destiny wrote: "Can someone draw this scene for me please?? http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2..."Katie, can you do this please?? and anyone else who's willing to try :)
sure! it may take me longer than usual, but i will have it up by monday or tuesday at the latest!
so, quick question is there anything in particualar about the scene that you want. Or do you want some sort of image collage? just so i know what part of it you really really really want drawn. Also can i have a quick description of jade, so i know what she looks like.
Could someone draw me a character? Just watever you wanna draw, I've a feeling seeing the character will give me some inspiration.. :) thnxs in advance :D
Katie wrote: "so, quick question is there anything in particualar about the scene that you want. Or do you want some sort of image collage? just so i know what part of it you really really really want drawn. Als..."oh yeah sorry! Ummm well at first I thought just the kissing part could be drawn. but a collage of images would be cool too. So, you decide :)
Jade has long blonde hair (probably half-way down her back) that she usually wears in a pony tail or braided. She always wears skirts or casual dresses. She has green eyes, but not as bright of eyes as Patch. She's a few inches shorter of Tanner. Same grade as Tanner. She's thin, pretty, has light skin. She straightens her hair.
In this scene, Jade is wearing a dress similar to this http://s2.thisnext.com/media/largest_... but with shorter sleeves and just a little bit different from this picture. And she has her hair in a pony tail
And so you draw Tanner right, from that picture you drew of him (which was very good, if i may add :)), Tanner's a little more broad shouldered and his hair is dirty blonde, not orange like it is in the picture you drew. And his leather jackets don't have the popped up collar thing. Other than that, it's great!
And i think just the kissing part could be okay. This how I'd like it, if you could do this for me :):They're standing on a sidewalk with the playground in the background to the left, a fence with a house behind it to their right, and a forest in between (well, it's behind the playground, too, but the part behind them shows just forest). If that doesn't make sense, just tell me what doesn't make sense and i'll try to re-word it :P
And I think I want Tanner's hands cupping Jade's chin and neck (like this sort of http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm3... only with Tanner's hands a little lower on her face than that.), both their eyes closed, her hands flat against his chest, high up like below his shoulders. And I don't want them to be quite kissing yet. Just a few milimeters apart haha. Like pictures like this http://www.naughty-kiss.com/wp-conten... or http://twilightguide.com/tg/wp-conten... (sorry I know that one's Twilight :P) where they're not quite touching yet.
Thank you!!

actually when i tried to post them the links wouldn't work. So just scroll up and look at he descriptions of my character Patch, Tanner, and my scene
three different drawings haha. one for patch, one for tanner, and then the kissing scene. thank you SO much for doing this for me :)
okay so....Character:Morgan, small 14 year old girl, red head. irish decent. kind of dirty (she's been living in a prison for the last few months). however, she's intelligent and strong her eyes should reflect that. maybe a plaid blanket around her shoulders? Also, she's had a rough life. thankyou!
Also....i am an artist...my mom is professional. and i would love to do some sketches for people. but don't depend on me too much. :)

SCENE, CHARACTER, COVER?: Scene Brief description on it: It is like the two sides of a door. One side has a boy and a girl knocking on the door urgently (they're locked in), and the other has another boy and two girls laughing.
In depth details: The girl that's locked in is thirteen and has black hair in a ponytail, brown eyes, light skin and freckles. The boy that's locked in is sixteen and has ruffled black hair, green eyes, tanned skin. The boy on the other side of the door is fifteen, blond and brown-eyes. One of the girls in the other side is seventeen and has frizzy blond hair and olive eyes. The other girl is fifteen, redheaded, freckly and blue-eyed.
Your name of the scene: Locked In

SCENE, CHARACTER, COVER? : Character
Brief description on it: She's a girl about fifteen with frizzy blond hair and olive green eyes. Milky skin tone.
In depth details: Her hair isn't explosive...more of like wavy down her back, although frizzy in texture. She smiles often and has dimples. She has freckles. She has a green waitress dress on. She handles a plate on her hand expertly.
Your name or characters name: Olive
Title of the piece: None.
Thanks, Ther. I was also hoping Katie could do Olive. She already did one for me, and it was great.
SCENE, CHARACTER, COVER: Character.
Brief description on it: Headshot of a sad girl.
In depth details: This character is almost seventeen. She has light red/strawberry blonde, medium-length hair that's pulled into a ponytail. She has bangs on the right side of her face, maybe some wisps hanging out on the left. Her eyes are green-ish blue. Maybe she wears a little eyeliner or mascara? The picture should only go down to her shoulders, maybe. She should be partly turned away, but not so she's a profile--more like a 3/4 view.
Your name or character's name: Je m'appelle Maxy. (My name is Maxy. The character's name doesn't really matter.)
