Description
I'm not entering ATR.
All right! Now that we have that cleared up. XD While thrashing about in the throes of art rut over the past few weeks, I decided on a lark to create some reference material for the characters I would have used if I were entering the Artists at the Ready tournament. (Seen here: )
This quickly got out of hand, and you see the result here. (And in the previous faux teaser I uploaded a bit before this.) But hey, art is art so why let it go to waste, eh?
It's a bit of a challenge creating ref sheets for characters who already have them, without sounding like you're telling simply the same information over and over again. And if you are, making it at least entertaining. Though one of these days I think I should make some sort of proper introduction for Oliver since he's never really been fully explained.
Some last minute details that didn't make it in:
Ree is from a story of the same name, no, it has not been released/published. Her song is "Ohne Zuschlag" by Din Stalker. She is a young girl possessed by hell itself and, in the ATR universe, would more than likely be mortified knowing that there are so many other characters in the 'young girl + demons' vein that she'd likely be begging me not to write a story about her.
Oliver is from no story, to clear that up once and for all. He was created for an OCT that never ended up happening. Now he is an orphaned character looking for a home with what is possibly the most frightening puppy dog expression a human being could make. (Yes, he's human.) His song is.. hell I dunno. Vindaloo? Look it up on youtube. XD
Rigg is from an old, old old storyline of mine entitled Jaoh or City of Jaoh. It never got too far along the lines, seeing as how futuristic stories aren't entirely my cup of tea, but he was a good character I enjoyed very much, and would definitely like to show more of him, his companion the Bug, and their buxom overseer, the Psycher Victoria. His song is the Hell's Laboratory theme from FF6. Haha.
Anyway. Back to work.

If Oliver go against Ree, he'll go into a permanent coma from the fourth legion of hell. I mean, one sane person is okay or a circus tent full of sane person. But you never know if a resident of hell only carry his mind alone or if he has a few screws looser than the psychopath looking in. Might survive one encounter but I don't think so with a fourth of hell where their job is break your mind, rebuild it and break it again only to rinse and repeat over and over until the end of existence it self.

Such a lovely character sheet! I love how original and dynamic your characters are, and the sheet displays their personalities very well. I particularly like the overall layout, and the questions at the bottom.
May I perhaps take a leaf out of your book and have a similar layout for a character sheet of my own? The overall skeleton of the ref is what I am talking about, and where everything is blocked in.

OMG I looked up Vindaloo on youtube and now I'm in even more love with Oliver than ever! (wait... so Oliver is English? somehow fitting)
Funny story how I found oliver/endling: I had a dream with a creepy guy in it and when I described him to a friend of mine he showed me Oliver's stat sheet. I was like OHMYFRICKENGODTHISGUYISSOCLOSETOMYDREAM IT IS CRAZZZY! (although he's not quite like my top-hat-wearing apparition of an imaginary "friend")

you know what? even though Ree isn't the only girl/demon combo i still find her very unique and by far the most interesting i have come across. Most people only get as far as being dark and awesome but you add a layer of comedy and personality to those little demons...
i like it. A lot.

My mind is blown.
I know I probably make a bigger deal out of artwork like this than I should, but still.
The uniqueness and personality you put into your characters simply bring them to life! Their whole concept(I mean storyline, personalities, abilities) wouldn't be possible in the real life, yet... the way you present them make them so gosh durn realistic! Simply amazing! ^_^
The problem with me and OCs is that I'm stuck in a rut at the point where all my OCs seem to be little clones of eachother. I mean, they're noticeably different, but they just seem like copies at the same time, you know? However, I've noticed that each of your characters is just so different from one another. Which is a very good thing! Because even in real life, people are totally different from one another, and your ability to separate personalities without making each character seem like a direct reflection off one another really shows in your OC artwork! Now I feel like I'm not making very much sense... xD
Also, one more thing:
The dialogue! I also have a problem with dialogue. I actually kind of envy your ability to give each character such a unique voice. As I was reading their responses to the interview thing, it's like I could practically hear each character's own voice.
Great job, with everything!
oh hey tl;dr OTL

What I would give to draw like you...probably a moderate monthly fee for art lessons, I guess.

I have a request to make - since DevART's gone through so many changes since this image was uploaded, this image's been resized so that we can barely make out the text unless our computer has a massive moniter. Could you give us a download option so we might see it in it's original full size please please pleeaaaseee??

For some reason I always imagine that scince Oliver dosent exist he would be Ree's concience, of course he would be the evil side and the good side at the same time, often debating with himself over what she should do

Gah...I can't read it because of dA's new version doesn't zoom out completely.

This image looks so interesting; alas, it seems to be suffering from Deviantart's fullview browser-resizing-thing. :C
I'm sorry to bother you over something you did so long ago, but there's no way I can read it or even get a good look at it, which...defeats the whole point of the browser-resizing. XD Would you mind enabling download? (If you'd rather not, je comprends!)

amazing! I really think your character ideas are just so cooool!!!!!!

You've really managed to flesh out these characters well in the way that you can get inside their head, think what they think, speak as they speak. I'm quite jealous of that because I haven't managed to give any of my OC's any personality. I think I liked reading Ree's the most because to me her story was fleshed out the best and there's something endearing about a normal innocent girl who just happens to have a chip the size of hell on her shoulders. But why in the world does Oliver have such tiny feet?

I love your reference sheets... they always give new insights into the character...
Seriously, I learned new stuff tonight.
Also, I noticed your art style changes slightly for each project you do, and each subject you cover. Is this on purpose, or do you just shift wityhout realizing it? I did notice that you changed the way these character's faces look slightly, and personally I like this way better, though the diffence between how you used to draw them isn't vast I love them both.
