Cordaiter

Postby Shiko Hayashi » Mon Jul 09, 2012 8:38 am

Well umm... This is Cordaiter, which if separated into 'corda iter' it literally means "heart's journey' in Latin.
Cordaiter, or Tora as I like to call her, is a Scout for the WoI's. She's quite good at it too.
Unlike her hot, fiery colors, Tora is actually quite and interesting character. Generally, she can be quite amusing and a great friend to be around. She doesn't mind a large group, but she prefers having her close knit friends. She's not hostile towards anyone, but she's not a daisy pusher either. She knows how to be nasty. She's quite good at her job, and is one of the stealthiest scouts among the WoI. Able to move without a sound, she's light on her feet and a swift runner.

EDIT

Thanks to everyone who helped with her design!

Her new design is underneath the old picture. I accidentally hit color in instead of edit.

I'd love to help with some suggestions ^u^ Have you based her off of anything, is there a specific purpose behind her markings, what colors do you want incorperated....I could go on forever xD

Sweet.

Well, when I first started her design, I was thinking warm. Deserts, African, Sahara. Just all together warm things.
And then the new game for Playstation 3 inspired me even more. It's called Journey. Feel free to look it up. I'm not sure if my explanation would do it justice.
I really wanted her to be a natural, and yet unique design. I hadn't planned any other colors beyond what are shown above.

    Some really pretty designs I've seen tend to start out with 2 or 3 simple colors. And since your going for natural, I'd start off with a natural reference. Such as, if you wanted her to have a natural wolf coat you'd find a picture like this and then, add some twists on it. Like, I really think the stripes on her neck and the marking on her paw is cute. So I would keep that, and try and mend it into that. ^^''

    I'm not an expert at designs, but it seems as if most designers do this. ^^''
basically quit lol

Yeah. I have two customs. Adonis and Cordaiter. I got permission from TWG90 a while back.
