Want Art With My Characters ?
4 years ago
General
Edit just to clarify, you're allowed to commission/draw things we've talked about too, provided we're both okay with the idea! That's a-ok!
Hello there! Maybe the title caught your attention, maybe not, either way, let me explain it regardless!
So, for a while now, I've been wanting to get more interactions going with my characters and other people's characters, because let's be honest, it's a lot of fun and can make for some interesting drawings, character relationships/developments and conversations, whether they're cute, silly, serious or something else entirely.
And so not too long ago, I was considering maybe doing a raffle of sorts, where you could partake to "win" a doodle with my beans. But I decided against it, because what if there was a bunch of neat ideas and dynamics, but only one could win, then what ? Would I just have multiple winners, thus kinda defeating the general idea of a raffle if everyone is winner ?
And secondly, because I didn't really want to attract the people that only partake in raffles because of the promise of "free stuff". I want this to be something BOTH parties are interested in, not just something you join because "free shit, hell yea".
So, with some help from
Endermoonfur I decided instead, that what I'd do is make a journal (this one), where you can essentially "submit" ideas (as many as you want!) involving one (or more) of your beans, and one (or more) of my beans, and then if we're both interested and think it would be a neat interaction/dynamic, we'd discuss it further, and I'd possibly get it drawn down the line.
So how exactly does this work ?
Basically, you can pick ANY of my characters (I'll list available ones further down), then you pick any of yours, and fill out a quick little form in the comments (just to make it easier), with what your prompt/idea is involving them, and then if we're both seeing potential in it, we'll figure out the details (you can also note me if you'd rather). Please don't be upset if I decline your idea!
Form would be
So just as what an example could be, going to use my own beans for this
Which is actually something I'm getting drawn, so even better. It doesn't have to be super in depth or elaborate, just the core premise. Of course, the more details, the easier it would be to tell if it's something I imagine could work, but that's also why we'd be discussing it after, to further develop the idea. Like, okay they're chatting, are they doing anything else ? Maybe it's like they're catching up, so there's some juicy gossip or interesting topics, maybe something happened they're excited to share with each other etc etc!
Hopefully that explains it, it'll basically just be us brainstorming together, and then I'll pick from the list as I want to/am able to commission things.
There's no real rules as to who can participate or what the ideas can be, though I'd appreciate it if you don't just join for the sake of getting free art. Also keep in mind, I might not get EVERYTHING drawn, just select things that I feel would work best (I only have so much money, sorry! </3). Of course, you're allowed to get things from here drawn too if you want, provided we're both in agreement on the idea! It's meant to be for fun, so hopefully it will be!
I've excluded a few characters for personal reasons, sorry if you had an eye out for them. Maybe later!
There's no time limit to this offer, it'll last as long as I want it to. Do keep in mind, there's also no estimated time for when I'll get things from it drawn, it'll sorta work as a library of ideas/prompts if there's a lot of interest.
And just to clarify, you're allowed to commission/draw things we've talked about too, provided we're both okay with the idea! That's a-ok!
Anywho, thanks for reading, I hope it made sense, and you're interested! Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Your OC: Phyress

Characters I have that would be available for this: (Please pay attention to what the character is like, info on ref etc!)
Arianda (she might see some development from it if all goes well, she really needs it!)
Ashura
Celina
All Forms of Ibby (3 links!)
And
PhyressI've excluded a few characters for personal reasons, sorry if you had an eye out for them. Maybe later!

I do have a pretty nice idea, though I'll let you decide which of your characters you'd think would fit more.
My Character: YuesheYour Character: Either Ibby in dragon form or Celina.Rough Idea/Dynamic: Yueshe is an old, wise drake, so I can really picture them just telling some tales or teaching Ibby or Celina as a sort of mentor figure. They can be absolutely absorbed by what he's telling them, in which case he'll happily tell them all the stories of the wide world. Or alternatively, they could be distracted, in which case he'll be bemused but have the patience of a good mentor and still teach them anyway.And ooooh, I like that idea! I feel thematically, it would probably fit Celina the best, she has that sort of energy to her, especially the getting distracted part, likely by a butterfly or a leaf flying by in the wind haha.
I'd love to discuss something with Eabha and one of your beans once her redesign is done ^^
My OC: Kyukyu
Your OC: Celina
Rough Idea/Dynamic: Celina and Kyu are having a friendly competition in his garden picking up flowers of all kinds trying to make the prettiest bouquet. When they both show each other's masterpiece they decide for it to be a tie but to Celina's surprise Kyu ends up gifting his bouquet to her being a gentleman who can't help himself but show appreciation to a beautiful dragoness for the good time he just spent with her.
That said!
I like the idea of gathering flowers, not sure how good she would be at it, I think she's too easily distracted by bugs and insects flying around though haha. Kinda like how a cat will chase around anything that moves suddenly!
The gifting part I'm a little iffy on, since I'd assume it would be the first time they'd have met, even it's entirely Platonic, but I like the overall theme apart from that!
It's a bit complex for a singular drawing though, so if drawn would need to be a bit more focused, likely on the gathering part I imagine (or trying to I should say!)
D'aww, Celina being too easily distracted would actually make the idea even cuter when I think about it. While Kyu is busy picking up flowers she could be chasing after a beautiful butterfly or being distracted by something else with some flowers of her own already picked up and being carried sideways in her mouth maybe.
Without much context I suppose it's true the gifting part would make the picture too flirty of an atmosphere, so let's scratch that part.
And as you said it'd be a bit too complex with that part in the scenario for a singular drawing, my main idea was the flower picking part anyway so we could stick to that part instead!
Glad you like that little tweak, I feel it's more fitting of her haha c':
And yea, that could work! Would also make sense for it if it's set in a flower field, probably a bunch of distractions flying around in a place like that <:
Yea for sure, it's really cute! I like it <:
I definitely like that tweak! After all like you mentioned we give out the starting idea and then flesh it out together to make it absolutely perfect.
And I'm really happy you like my idea.
Oh really ? You'll have to give me a poke on there, I'm not in that many servers I don't think <:
Yeeee for sure!
Thing is I checked the server in question but I noticed it's been emptied quite a bit. I fear the admin basically kicked everyone who was inactive there at some point...
A dear friend of mine shared with me your journal, and I'm glad he did.
I took a look at your characters and I like them. Also, I totally approve when you say that you prefer to get a pic with someone that is actually interested in splitting the scene because he/she enjoys your world, instead of casually "jumping on the promise to get free art" and not having a real attachment to you or your characters.
So, said that, the idea I want propose you is in fact something personal, I had it in my folder for a while, waiting for the right moment to use it ^^
I don't have sadly too much friends with feral characters of a certain type to make it possible, so I'll grab this occasion and propose it to you.
My OC: As a matter of fact I don't commission too much solo pics (not to mention refs). Like you, I prefer interactions with characters instead.
But to show you how my dragon looks like and his temper, I'll link a pic he shares with his two sidekicks: Prince Borgon della Verbena
Your OC: Phyress
Rough Idea/Dynamic: So, as said I had this idea for a while, I've just adapted it to your fine lady ^^
My dragon prince and Phyress in the early evening, some nice hills as a background (Maybe those of his princedom? (Link).
A cloud of dark smoke and fire coming from somewhere, announcing that maybe in the distance there's a battle or something like that. So they are about to move to that area.
Your lady could be serious but still not in her "enraged" trance, and my dragon prince standing close to her.
She could have her tail up, like a warning, flaming burning in the air. And Borgon would have his left palm surrounded by his healing flames (Link), which are green so they'd merge just fine with the red ones of your character.
This is mostly my raw idea. I have the tendency to write backstories for pics, so if eventually we'll share this one, you can be sure we'd also discuss about a reason for our characters to be there, etc.
Ah, p.s.: even if you're offering this for free, I'd be more than glad to split it half and half if eventually this idea suits your character
Oh thank you! And yea for sure! I don't mind raffles and people that just want the art, that's fair, it's just not what I'm going for here! Glad you understand <:
Something personal ? Not sure this is the best place for that aha, but I'll give it a read!
I'm assuming he's the one on the left ? <:
Okay, so your idea is pretty interesting, and I can definitely see a lot of story potential behind it, especially if you have a world established as is with him and all, but I'm not sure if it fits Phyress, just because of her personality and nature in general, not sure if they would be a good match. Sorry :<
