Character Competition: Nightingale

Postby SpartanAmethyst » Thu Dec 12, 2013 3:15 am

So, after listening to a song after only Valtiel knows how many times, I've decided that I want a character based off of said song.
Yes, I love this song that much.
This song means everything to me; it's my calm music, what I use to soothe myself when I'm angry, upset, or just having a really, really bad day.
So, on to the nitty gritty details.

Oh, and thanks to Tali for the gorgeous lines <3

The song:
Nightingale by Yanni.
Explains the title, right?
Here's a different version, with Lauren Jelecovich doing the vocals:
[x]

So, basically, I want you, the artist, to create me a character that embodies this song.
If I hear the song, I want to think of him/her, and vice versa.
I'm basically giving you free reign; use the song as your inspiration and just go.
But to help, just a couple of preferences:
-I love natural bases; unnatural markings are more than welcome <3
-"Layered" and complex markings are more of what I'm looking for, but I don't want them impossible to recreate.
-The song itself is elegant and calming; I want the character to be the same.
-Leaning slightly towards female, but my mind is open to any and all designs.
-I love line edits and accessories. As for metals, I adore silver and platinum.
-One of the BIGGEST things: the design must flow. I don't want a bunch of harsh colors thrown together on him/her.
-The song was created for one of Yanni's Chinese concerts; maybe try looking up some Zen/Oriental sort of things?

This is to just give you a quick guide, but don't be afraid to just follow your inspiration. I really want to see your take on the song, and what you can do <3

As for now there will only be one winner, but if I like your entry enough, I may offer to purchase it from you. It all depends.

Just to be clear, do you want us to make something with the line are you have provided or can we create something else?
