FANTASY CHARACTER CHALLENGE

Postby coelagirl » Thu Oct 08, 2020 2:29 pm

heavily inspired by .: fae :.'s star sprite challenge only i was like. hmmm what if this had a hundred entry category.


ANYWAY this is a fun little way to make a random character. maybe it challenges you to use design elements you normally wouldnt :)
There are two ways you can play this game!
    1. you can use the provided categories (birth month, initials, etc) to make the character personalized for you <3.
    2. for a completely random character, you can roll a die with the same number of sides as entries in the category! This site has dice rollers, with the last one in the list being customizable -- so if i wanted to roll for the first category, which has 13 possibilities, i would enter 13 into the first box and leave the second box as 1. If the result of that roll was, say, 5, then my character would be an orc :>
You can certainty skip categories or just choose if there's an option you really like, but where's the fun in that?

you're free to use my lineart or draw your own. just keep my signature somewhere on there if you use mine!!
