Character Adoption Addicts Anonymous v.25- SECRET SANTA

[Sunlitsecrets]

Hello all!

Pick a character and tell us 5 fun facts about them!
I'll do Karnal for this one.

• He has the most absurd dreams ever. I mean it. He's never told them to anyone because he doesn't want them to know how weird they are.
  
• He never actually learned how to be a detective, he mostly learned on the job because a detective was what was needed.
• Karnal really hates rain.
• He's actually a fairly good artist.
• Unfortunately he never learned how to swim.

I'm stressed out a bit as I have to babysit my neighbor's 8-year-old tonight and it's the first time I've ever done anything remotely like it. So I'm looking for anyone selling art. I can pay with CS pets, art in return, or FR treasure/gems.

In other news, I drew some art c:

of Basil, by me

of Basil and Stray, by me

of Gwen, by me

@Typewriter - good luck! :'D
@Tansy - I love Dimitri, their design is amazing <3
@bvrd - Valhalla is the most adorable guy I've ever seen.

@bvrd That character is really neat~

@Sixbane Lovely characters and art as always

@Aeryn; That's a really neat pixel ;v;

[Jericho]

Because I'm curious, I'm wondering if any of you can help me track down a character I designed and sold/traded away aaaaaages ago (we're talkin' years ago).

It was a LOST themed polar bear named Via Domus.

Managed to find his orginal reference and some artwork someone did but can't seem to find any more info.


Unknown artist

By me (oh god the horror of looking at old art ahaha)

I'm not looking to buy him back or anything (I wish this was a cute reunion story sorry) I'm just really bored and curious to see where this little big guy got off to.

Please shoot me a message if you have any info! Thanks! :)

[redhorizon]

Just made this girl and was wondering if anybody would be interested in adopting?


Click to be taken to the page :3

I'm really tempted to keep her, but I need money xDD

I'm also offering some 30 point pixels like these! Just shoot me a PM :3

Aaand some new characters I got :3

This is Pop, a very simple, fun design :3 Name is subject to change.


By unknown

And so I made some art of the lovely Pop xD



And then I got Pixie, but I have NO memory of how I got her, which is weird


By tahzik

And then I got some awesome art of Mark from Sixbane!



Then I doodled Akelia a couple times




And I guess I'll be taking two custom design orders like the one at the top of this post for 50 points each! Two slots will be opened, each person can order up to two and I'll be accepting two people if that makes sense xD

Comments:
@Sixbane - I love Okun's design! It's so unique! The colors look really good together, as well <3
@bvrd - Ohh boy, I love Valhalla!! He's absolutely beautiful, and the concept is absolutely gorgeous <3 I especially love the color changing fact - I'd love to see if he ate something crazy like pizza... Pepperoni and cheese colored innards? Haha!
@Tansy - Oh my gosh, congratulations on such a gorgeous new character! They're absolutely lovely~!!
@Sunlitsecrets - Your style s l a y s me, oh my~!! It's absolutely lovely, and I adore your use of colors! ovo
@CaesarHorse- I mean...? I guess that's not a bad character to accidentally end up with no recollection how, haha! I am also very tempted by glow-y eyes ovo Sadly, I do not know how dA or points work, and thus am poor, lol! I hope you find them an awesome home~!!

I'll use Kaelin~!
- His medical knowledge is outstanding, and he really loves helping to heal others!
- Kaelin, sadly, did not have a very good mentor - hence the scars and consistent anxiety
- His favorite food is strawberries!
- He is missing an eye, but he doesn't count a glass eye as an option (he thinks they would be too cold, and besides, he isn't quite sure his bandages would come off at this point anyhow)
- Kaelin really loves hearing stories, and although he is a bit jumpy and nervous around others, he loves nothing more than to listen to others speak about their lives

Also! This is a bit random, but I wanted to throw it out there - I'm a bit too new to participate in the Secret Cupid, but if any other newbies would like to do a surprise design trade, that would be really cool! C:

what is the hardest thing about being in the character community?
Honestly, developing my characters. I want to incorporate them into an actual, cohesive world so that they're not just... floating random designs, but since most of what's out there are just floating random designs ("here's a blue dog with star markings with a human personality! why is it like that? shut up it looks cool") it's hard for me to turn a lot of my characters into something more formal, haha.

Pick a character and tell us 5 fun facts about them!
Let's go with Sylvia:

(by reykat@dA, sorry for the large image orz)

• she's part of a species of god-serpents called silthians; their births are linked to the creation of the universe, and each one creates and destroys the galaxies that populate it. galaxies created by different silthians have totally different "atmospheres," kinda like the different planes of existence in d&d. it's unknown how many silthians there are, but it's in the range of a couple hundred.
  
  
• she creates galaxies shaping and molding them like works of art with her six [retractable] hands. once a galaxy is finished, she sheds her scaly skin and leaves the shed as a protective barrier around the newly created worlds. over time the barrier starts to crumble, and each scale becomes a minor god who presides over the solar system it falls into. the shed eyecaps become the two major gods who preside over the galaxy, breathing life into planets and acting as leaders to minor deities
  
  
• sylvia is normally a cold goddess, only answering to others of her race unless absolutely necessary and seldom re-visiting galaxies once she's left her shed and moved on. she is, however, susceptible to falling into a bestial rage and will devour galaxies until she is calmed
  
  
• galaxies that she creates tend to be vaguely magical, but not too terribly different from our own; an earthly human likely wouldn't feel out of place on many of her worlds. they can range from high fantasy to actually very earth-like to totally unrecognizable, but they generally lean towards humanoids and some variety of magic being present.
  
  
• sylvia has no offspring of her own (though silthians are close to omnipotent and are capable of reproducing), but she was one of the first silthians born and cared for many of her younger siblings as they matured. she's absolutely ancient from our perspective, but she's only just past her peak.

If you would kinda find out and know that you own someones dream character, would you give it to them? (for free, money, art, other chars?)
Not if it wasn't already listed for sale/trade. :< I don't appreciate people asking to buy my characters unprompted.

Do you like unique characters, such as monsters, or do you prefer more "normal" characters, such as canines, felines, etc.?
Unique characters, definitely. Honestly, I'm not super huge on cats/dogs that aren't realistic (even though I own a couple orz) and unique monsters are way easier to fit into my world (I made a lot of the lore set up just to accommodate them, haha). User-made species and stuff (CS/etc) is more iffy, cause there feels like there's less variation and I want freedom in revamping/developing characters.

________________________________

Here's a question for y'all who play D&D (/other tabletop RPGs and stuff):


Code: Select all

[b]How do you relate your D&D characters to your other characters, if at all?[/b]



To answer my own question: They're pretty much totally separate. I definitely use designing/developing skills I've picked up from the character community, and I draw them as much or more than my "actual" characters, but I don't treat them like my other characters in terms of art-ordering or development (since their lives are still "ongoing"). Though my current character, Ralphye, probably has the most developed backstory I've ever written. Even the DM said it was totally overkill, haha (i sent him like three pages of details up to his great grandfather's life over the course of a couple days orz poor guy).

One of the people in my party has also kinda fringed with OC stuff and is at least familiar (i think, i don't know for sure haha), and they say that the horrible things that happen to their characters during our campaign aren't "canon" in their lives. Like, their poor druid who died a couple months ago is still well and alive in their hearts in their own world. So in that respect, they could develop him as an actual OC who's just kinda inspired by D&D?

[happysparrow]

How do you relate your D&D characters to your other characters, if at all?

As a huge fan of D&D, I would love love love to answer this!

My characters and my D&D character are completely separate - whereas my darling Eirian is a chaotic-neutral rogue who enjoys playing horrifying pranks on her teammates and taming sea monsters, most of my characters usually don't fall anywhere close to a chaotic alignment. They're also much, much calmer, haha!

atticus
-he was born in a magical world.. with the ability to do magic
-oddly enough he finds magic boring, finds the physical world fascinating
-he cast a spell to make himself 343774%!$!24#@#523 times better at math
-he finds unending joy in simple nonmagical things like ... picking something up.. throwing something and watching its path... ... what the heck, kid
-also yeah he's really young, a mere child.. .

Do you like unique characters, such as monsters, or do you prefer more "normal" characters, such as canines, felines, etc.?
I like both!! As long as the design appeals to me

Anyways, I'm giving away free characters I feel bad about letting them rot
link
the only ones you cannot ask for are my designs, naumachy designs, Evils' designs, Ittam's ferret designs, and the Kia those are the only ones for trade ( you can offer art and maybe characters if interested in those? )
Anyways if you want them PM me with a name and gender for the character fcfs!
and
I wanted to answer some questions??
Pick a character and tell us 5 fun facts about them!
using Apollo ( linked above ) to answer these to develop her
• She lives alone in a cave full of jewels, gems, and other stuff she's found
• She's not very social but will talk to others if she has to
• she has small gills behind the tips of her hair so she can breath under water??
• worried/stressed almost 24/7
• she used to be a guard in a faraway kingdom but they betrayed her so she ran swam away and became a criminal??
Are there any characters owned by others you'd like to hear more about?
