Art/Character Musings
15 years ago
Blame my interest in uniforms (we could argue that it's a fetish, but that's neither here nor there at the moment), but Nikolai's now dual-purposed. Not only is he my Playboy, but he's also got the dual-history of having served in WWII, which, obviously, places him during the 1940s. And, really, Soldier!Nikolai is a lot of fun to play in RP... So, I'm kind of looking to flesh out his character design in that aspect a lot. Soldier!Nikolai and Playboy!Nikolai are one and the same person, but he's all-business when it comes to his job in the military, but still loves to have fun. Nik basically represents the balance I strive for. While I'm not so much a playboy in real life, I'm still working on that healthy balance of fun and work. It's getting better as I get older, but it's something I'm still working on and I know is there.
But, anyways... Soldier!Nikolai is an Air Force Choctaw Code-talker that is currently stationed over in France. He is a commissioned officer, likely a Lieutenant, but he aspires to make a career and get at least to Captain, if not higher. Born in the Northeast, Nikolai is 25% Choctaw, 25% British, and 50% Russian. And, yes, he has a slight accent that sounds like a fusion of Russian and British. Still working out how that sounds for when I start doing voice stuff with him.
Appearance-wise, he's a Black-furred lion with silver mane and belly, and sharp sky blue eyes. He's let his mane grow out so it's more like hair, and he usually keeps it tied back in either a ponytail or a single braid. He's a very handsome creature, which is part of what makes him such a lure for both men and women.
Personality-wise, Nik's a lot like me. He's very duty-focused, but knows when to let go and have fun. I often imagine him in a position where he's dominating someone sexually, as that's something I think he'd really enjoy. Then again, as I said, Nik's a lot like me (just more laid back). ^_~
Art! Normally, I like the toony-style art that most furry artists do, and I've gotten some fantastic pieces of Nik done, but I'm looking more at eventually getting some realistic pieces done of him in uniform or in his suits (sky blue zoot-suit or black tux)... So, I ask you, my readers, who your suggestions are for realistic fury art. I'm currently lusting after art from Meezer (RedCoatCat), Blotch, and Strype, but hell if I'll ever get a commission slot from any of them. x_x
So, who are your favorite artists to look at for realistic art?
