- i started dabbling in character design and i'm on an oc reacquisition spree lately so this sounded like fun lOL
so welcome to my little booth! c4c = character for character - you design me a character based on my preferences and if i keep them i'll make you one based on yours! i think my preferences atm are very niche but hopefully i connect with more designs and styles starting with this <3
20241106 - been closed im trying to figure out what i can/cant draw again
if you have an existing character you think i might like in exchange for a new one/custom art of your character, feel free to shoot me a dm since it won't be c4c!
i draw:
humanoid, and i'm willing to try flatface anthro
hair, accessories, horns, wings, etc. that can attach to those characters are all on the table
can't draw:anything with primarily scales or hooves, non bipedals
full on mech/robots
monsters
i still have a hard time working with bright palettes but i'll absolutely do my best lol
what i like: please let me know if any links are broken
things i'm absolutely sure i like in bold with +, then things i think i might like. masculine/feminine/androgynous characters, simple/complex characters all ok! i only ask that they're humanoid or flatface anthro
my humanoid characters
flatface anthros i like
- ++ some combination of elegant, powerful, and/or dark themes, characters with a very clear theme/aesthetic
++ asymmetry with accessories/tattoos etc
++ victorian/1800s europe/steampunk style: huge for me, i like anything from newspaper boy aesthetic to grunge (pauper) to lolita to nobility like duchesses and dukes and knights to plague doctor
++ tasteful metallic/reflective details on the outfits or in the form of jewelry colors up to you.
++ distinguishing tattoos, scars, or markings anywhere- i like characters that are recognizable at a glance
++ in general, i like palettes that are pretty black/white/sepia etc monochrome with one or two bold, strong color accents gold accessories would be the other accent color
++ military/navy style (caps, capes, coats, boots) owari no seraph another one guren this guy him
++ weapons esp nonconventional stuff LOL surprise me
+ elegant wear in general like suits and gowns or uniforms, overcoats/trench coats etc
+ floating accessories and around-the-head ornaments (if that makes sense? like some sort of halo, hair accessories, piercings, etc)
+ the character's eyes either giving a powerful or apathetic vibe! characters whose personalities are pretty easy to tell at a glance
+ cyberpunk prefer grunge over neon i also love oriental-cyberpunk fusions queen
+ oriental - feudal japan/yokai/fusion with another theme like yui
+ historical - designs with inspiration from myths or ancient gods
+ OR pastels and muted palettes that work with gold accessories as the accent like this
++ cyborg/partial/full mechanical/robotic - paramilitary with gas masks and suits are cool
+ thief/brawler/gunslinger/ranger aesthetics
+ armored, cloaked, armed, or geared in some way (fighting!)
& more that i cant think of lmAO
my main universes are cyberpunk-dystopian, victorian-steampunk, 1600s eastern dynasty/pirates, and medieval fantasy. i may also have a home for wild west and modern/high fashion/organized crime themes
i'd love more characters that fit in those worlds!
what i don't like
- non humanoids (ears, tails, horns are fine! but i'd like them to have human faces/bodies and hair)
mage/caster aesthetic
-- tavern/dnd aesthetic
- sparkles/bubbly/cutesy/soft
-- dark sclera/too-unusual skin color like green or something
-- full palette of neons, or super saturated colors
-- scene, non cyberpunk grunge, or spooky goth designs (with too many stripes)
-- horror
-- skimpy clothing (can't draw it sadge)
