Drawing Your Characters for Free!! (temporarily closed)

What the title says!!

Please be as descriptive as possible and include a section on the character's personality.
You can use images from the internet if you'd like. If you have a character page for your character, also feel free to link them!

I'll be doing one request at a time—first come, first serve. If you'd like to request that I draw a small character group or couple, I can also do so.

Current Wait-list:

@Axel
@Avhira-The-Eldritch-Horror
@Axel (pt 2, Electric Boogaloo)
@epitragicosity
@valerie!

Think of this. A character who's limbs do not connect to the body, but float around him. Arms and legs. His body and limbs are sharp, his clothes like TADC colors, and he always smiles. Also, he does not show his eyes, because they are covered by a top hat.

This sounds super fun to draw!! Could you tell me a bit more?

i.e. What does his face look like? What color hair does he have? What kind of hairstyle? Fashion taste? Skin tone? Is he tall or short? Does he float, or is it merely his limbs that float? What do you mean his body and limbs are sharp—is his character design very geometric or cartoony (you mentioned TADC, which I'm assuming is short for The Amazing Digital Circus), or is it a case of prominent bones?

Also, what is his personality like? That'll help me get a feel for what kind of pose he should have!

Well, he has pitch black flesh, a turncoat with multiple colors, and he mainly floats to move. His joints are very sharp, as well as his body, making him seem quite geometric. He is quite tall. And very fancy. But he's also very silly, and has the act of a very kind and gentle guy. But he does look a little creepy with the big grin that takes up half his face. Basically, think of a ball, then draw a curved line across it. That's his mouth. He has a very big mouth.

Hey hey, I threw together a quick sketch! Is there anything I should change to make him more accurate before continuing?

Well, he has no organs. In fact, he looks kinda polygony, sharp. He looks almost alien. Take this for example, and use this form with your sketch. Expunged origin form.

Hmmm, I'm having a hard time visualizing what you explained, and I'm afraid I don't know what "expunged origin form" means. Can you think of any other existing characters or references that might help give me an idea? Maybe photos that you could link, or that I could otherwise look up?

I'm assuming he's at least a humanoid. Is his body similar to some of the crystal gems from Steven Universe, maybe?

Absolutely!! I started this thread to help combat some of my recent art block, so I'm all for new subjects ^^

You can add your character info whenever you'd like!

@Dayzed
Let me know what you think!!

@Avhira-The-Eldritch-Horror
You can send over/post the character info any time! I can't say how long it'll be (Axel's is still the priority), but if I have the time I'll work on yours while I wait for them to get back to me ^^

Sorry about wasting your time. The drawing you made was perfect. Could you color it in? And one more thing. Could you make a drawing of him interacting with another character? Like Pomni? The two basically act the same way.

I've never posted on Notebook.ai before so hopefully this is formatted correctly but if you wanna draw my OC Mara; here's her turnaround https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ESleWJ1qg/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
she's chaotic, teases people, and protects her younger siblings on a misguided quest to return items stolen from the government :D

@Dayzed I'm so happy you like it!!!! And of course you can add him to your page! It was a gift ^^
Also my signature is hiding somewhere in the image, so don't worry about adding any extra credit unless you really want to. As long as it isn't reposted somewhere else, we're all good!

@Avhira-The-Eldritch-Horror Creative freedom, nice!! I've looked through a couple so far, but I'll definitely let you know more when I get to it c:

@Axel You're not wasting my time at all!! I was a little stumped, sure, but the idea of drawing a character that isn't traditionally human was super exciting! The only reason I asked a lot of questions is because I want to get him right. If you're sure you're happy with the sketch, and not just settling for what you may think is my benefit, then I'll go ahead and polish up what I have! Including adding color.

And I'll happily draw him and Pomni (whomever that is that I still have to Google). Though, I think I'll treat it as another instance altogether, so it will have to wait until after @Avhira-The-Eldritch-Horror and @epitragicosity get a turn. Just to keep things fair!

@epitragicosity I love her turnaround! And I very much look forward to drawing her ^^

@valerie! I am more than willing! Thank you so much for the submission ^^

On that note, I am going to be temporarily closing this thread while I catch up with everyone's drawings!! The current wait-list is as follows:

@Axel
@Avhira-The-Eldritch-Horror
@Axel (pt 2, Electric Boogaloo)
@epitragicosity
@valerie!

I'm going to try and make some progress on these ASAP, but for my own benefit I'm not going to give any estimated times, as life has been far busier than planned at the time of creating this thread. Just a heads up, seeing as I will get to ALL of these eventually!

@Axel I'm not great with cartoon styles, but I hope the bolder lineart and saturated colors makes up for it! Let me know if this design is okay to use on your next drawing, whenever you get a chance!

(@Dayzed, I was a little sneaky—while working on Axel's character I stumbled across my drawing of Jake and realized the perspective was pretty off. Originally I sketched him looking upwards, but throughout the rest of the process he ended up looking straight forward and I never ended up fixing it! Long story short, I made another version and replaced my previous link with it. I think it looks better that way, but it's entirely up to you whether you want to use this one or the original! I have a copy of both just in case ^^)
