Rate The Character Above You V.7 (New rule Pg 224)

[zelos]

9/10 ;; While I'm familiar with the lore, I'm not big on Undertale. That doesn't personally affect my rating, though, as I think this guy is wonderful, even outside of the game's canon. I looked through his gallery on TH and didn't actually realise how big he was, but he's literally a giant mountain of fluff. I really like that he kind of resembles a tibetan mastiff, too; not sure if that was intentional. In design terms, I'm typically not fond of all-one-colour characters. I get why he's all white to fit in with the lore and all that. Though, I do have to wonder, since the Lesser and Greater Dogs have armor and stuff, how come this guy doesn't? I think he'd be a solid 10/10 for me if he had some kind of accessories, even just a collar or a giant sword or something.

Circe? She is a witch who lives in a snowy, icy region called Vanune. She gets her magical powers from a curse that has been passed down through generations, but in addition to these powers, she is also followed by the restless spirits of her ancestors who constantly pester her. She spends much of her time hunting for ancient treasure from fallen civilizations that occupied the land centuries before. She also works as an informant from time to time, selling information in exchange for valuables. Her goal is to find and retrieve an ancient family heirloom that was stolen from one of her family's matriach's tombs hundreds of years ago. By returning it to its rightful resting place, she can finally break the curse that has followed her family for such a long time.

her design is so pleasing to look at! the blues just really drive home the whole ice theme, and i could totally see her in that setting! i love the contrast both her eyes and her little coat/cape add as well, and i like that her powers come at a price, it sort of grounds her more, though i would like to know what her powers are....
honestly my only gripe with her is that maybe she could have some sort of accessory that alludes to her being a witch? or just any of the valuables she gets as payment.
other than that, i just love her!!

how about hal?

okay honestly im just into shapeshifting but at a cost, so his deal is that he has to make his own masks and then "infuses" them with some kind of magical energy to either change his form more or less (which is why he can have two identical masks but they still make him look different) and he also gains the attributes for whatever/whoever hes trying to resemble (so e.g. hes blind and communicates telepathically as scratch)
hes kinda a self-insert for anything cosplay related i feel like drawing
anyways his neutral form is just a white shibe and just. has some flecks of blue/red on his body so i didnt add his full neutral form on here
art and design by me (except lil cal and scratch if that wasnt clear already!)
lil bit of info

6.5/10 -- Sorry for the lower rating, while the character is clearly very fun and I love the concept of being able to shift to match whatever cosplay/needs he has and I LOVE that it has to be from a magically imbued mask, I'm afraid that they are not my personal choice in characters. I love the little quirk about his height and how he hates that he cannot change it even with different magical masks, I think that makes him really interesting to me, it gives him something that even his shapeshifting abilities cant change and that's a really nice add on to me. I am also a huuuuuge sucker for eyes that change colors with moods or circumstances, and the idea of the consistency on whether or not he has eyes is interesting too. All in all, he's a fantastic character and would love to see more!

How about Suijin? I FINALLY finished his reference today, and would love some ideas/critiques on him! Character and art created by myself.

An unshaded version of his design is here.
Long story short, he was a koi fish spirit, when his pond and his life partner were destroyed, he lost all memories of who he used to be and became a god of rage and revenge. Without his partner, his other half, he became unbalanced and saw wrong and right, good and evil, as only ever black and white. There were no shades of grey for him anymore, and he sought to bring punishment to all who did wrong, even in the slightest bit. His life partner, though destroyed, still follows him in spirit, trying to remind him of who and what he used to be.
She was all white with red scales and a black dot. He used to be all black with red scales and a white dot. But as his rage and pain consumes him, his black koi designs, once representing his peace and strength, fade away. Soon there will be no markings left, his body fading to only white, unless he can pull himself back and remember who he was. The gold accessories are reminders of the things he stood for, they turn darker and duller with every marking that disappears, the orbs that carry his essence/good nature fading as well.

10/10 I just absolutely love Adolph so much! I don't know exactly what it is about him I like, but regardless he's a cool looking character. I love the color palette he has, the colors go together very well and I also like how the stripe markings are only situated on the back and not so plentiful, like how I've seen most characters with stripes as markings tend to be. It adds more to the main colors while not covering all of them.

I don't know if I'm right or not, but I'm guessing he's a soldier of sorts? If so, the choice of outfit was a good one. It immediately gives anyone viewing it the idea that he is a soldier right at first glance. Only little tidbit is that I personally would prefer the red color of his glasses to be a little brighter, but that's just me.
Overall, can be considered a dreamie. I would definitely love to learn even more about him such as backstory and such, he has my interest in that department.

Lure n' Bait (the tail)? By Beancaya


Lure n' Bait are basically two separate personalities sharing a body. Lure (the main body) is a mute, unable to speak but usually timid and cautious while Bait (the tail) is more aggressive and confrontational. Bait acts as the voice for Lure, and in exchange she serves as sight for Bait, who can not see (the eyes are real, they just don't function). While they have equal control of the body, Bait is more dominant, but merely by choice. Lure WILL control the body herself, but only if it is detrimental.

very cool idea! i love the execution of the ideas you put in place for the character. my only dislike really is the stripe color. it doesnt fit with the character at all. the way you described her, pink/blue does not match with her personality OR color palette. a suggestion maybe is, if you can, switch the stripes to the green on the antlers/eyes so its not so.. poppy? idk the right word?

also maybe only have the antlers/horns on bait? i feel like it would fit bait more as being the aggressive one and they look kinda weird on lure.





caulie? caulie is a saiyan/human from earth who died basically at birth. the gods took pity on this young child, and decided to bring it back and give it a chance at a fulfilling life, and this caulie did! because of this, it has the ability to fly with the pink wings on its back, and has a halo to show its past. it grew up with the gods, and met its friends for the first time there, on the gods planet. it was finally time for it to leave, as it was strong enough to fend for itsself. so it left with this group, the z-fighters. very adventurous, it has no caution and goes head-on with no thought or plan, usually gets the z-fighters in a lot of trouble. caulie is very aggressive in its fighting style and never holds back.

art + design by me! more art here

sorry for such the low rating, but this character isn't exactly my style. the concept and backstory of it is cool, but the colors don't really go well together in my opinion. the pink kinda clashes with the rest of the colors of the outfit and the halo seems a little random to me design-wise (but i know it goes with the story). the outfit is actually pretty cool; i like the bandana and skirt and stuff. the colors don't really work for me though and they dont correlate with each other all that well.

my dnd character, valcius?
design & art by me.

[Cruxich]

8/10 I don't know much about DnD (I should get into it, darnit) and had to do a bit of looking up, but he definitely fits the species and even the Class he's in! While I often see demon-ish characters with black and red outfits, on Valcius it is certainly an easy pass. It fits well with what he is, but the style of the attire is a little weird, looking more modern and doesn't seem to fit in with the fantasy universe DnD is in from my point of view. Maybe they contain the same color and shape of the outfit, but changed to look more oldish at least..or making it more fit in with the fantasy trope (boots could be some kind of brown or black leather, coat changed into a cape/cloack, etc.).

I do adore the gold rings on his horn though and glasses. The gold rings make his horns stand out a bit, and the glasses are charming. The location of the scar is placed in a common spot I see often, but it's just minor and not really important.
Overall, I quite like them.

Caramel? By Micool (She's missing her right eye)

(bio found here since it's a lil long.

[friday]

6/10
While I think her bio is adorable, the design itself doesn't really work for me. The bold orange-y markings on the light beige base throw me off a bit? I'm not fond of the other markings either. The brown streaks on the tail fluff seem a little odd, because they give me the impression she has multiple tail tips, and I don't think that was on purpose. I would like her a bit better if the main accent color was the darker red-brown on the ears instead of the orange-brown.

That said, I do love her kind of hybrid (especially the lil bird legs) and the slight tint of her eye! The missing eye is a nice touch too, but I think it would make more sense if it were covered up. A cute eyepatch might be nice

Doc? all by me
His real name is Morris Wright, but he just goes by Doc. He was a doctor who "had to" turn himself into a cyborg after an incident with a disgruntled patient. The procedure didn't go down too well though, and he tends to malfunction. His malfunctions usually just entail some sparks, but they can be more serious. He also had some memory loss. He still remembers his identity, but has trouble remembering the events that led up to him becoming a cyborg. He's not a doctor anymore but insists he still is.

The status light on his chest can change color with his uh... status. Green when okay, red when low on battery, etc. The status light breaks when he malfunctions, and has to be replaced a lot. He doesn't know how to paint metal properly, so the colors wear off frequently. He likes to experiment with different "paint jobs" though. The metal parts can be any color. (hair too, because he likes to experiment)

I like his concept! hes a very interesting character and has a very interesting story. i like it! i think most of my critique i would say would go towards him as a character, not his design. his design is good and fits him well! i really like that status light too. its really interesting and a cool concept! i think it would be cool to learn more about how he built his body all by himself as well. and how he survives LOL. i think that how he became the way he is and how he is designed is very well and interesting. hes kind of missing a personality though .? really all i know about him is he is a doctor who had an accident. it would be interesting to know how he would act now compared to how he acted before the accident. like, is he kind of crazy now? is he overly confident now or has he always been? is he just really depressed and wants to prove hes still a doctor? things like that. (referring that he insists hes a doctor even though he is not anymore) lol ! but i guess that can be nitpicking. ? but overall hes pretty awesome ! i like him a lot.

heidi !!

art and character by me ! some more pictures if youd like to look

heidi is pretty irritable and she likes to be to herself. she is tiny and feisty she can have a bit of a temper but knows how to rationalize if something is worth getting mad over. she is definitely not always angry though and loves to take naps and then take out all her energy by running around or something. she has a lot of energy, both negative and positive !! she may have her emotional problems but she has many ways to cope like feeling the need to exercise and run around when feeling upset, or maybe on another day do some nice relaxing yoga. lolol
