Description
Big file is big! Download to see full sized image!Okay, so several days ago I had this dream where a girl went to Ireland for some reason or other and the entire time she was there she was harassed by a leprechaun; she's a foreigner so it's easy. He pranks her so much that he becomes enamored with her, going as far as following her back to the states. I woke up when she stepped on him by accident.
This is him.
The extra information was added (name, age, personality) as I worked on this character reference, but his general appearance is the same as he appeared in my dream.
This is the first time I've ever made a character reference sheet. A lot of work goes into making these suckers!
At the beginning it was just going to be a simple two character picture, but it just kept growing and growing until it took on a life of it's own! I don't know if I will be making a reference for the girl, it'll be a little harder to put her down on paper then this fella since she comes from my subconscious. I'll give it a shot though!Tools and References used:

Y'know Tiny started out with the personality of a leprachaun. Only perpetually drunk and the pranks were trolling.
Goooood stuff! You should make 'em a proper character, all sorts of fun to be had.

I'm considering it! I'm gonna have to think a few thing over first, hammer out the details.
I'm glad you like him and the reference sheet!

Funny, I named my Bionic WOlfhound on Monstersgames Faolan.
Anyway, I like his design. Do you plan to expland this story further or did you just make the character sheet for fun?

Yeah, I've come to find that Faolán is a pretty popular name on the interbuttz, but I feel it fits cause of his dog like face. Woof!
It started out as something just for fun. I'm not sure if I'll be able to expand on the story, though I'd like to. I think it would be a little hard. I've never been to Ireland, and only know little bits and pieces about it. I feel it would kinda rude or insulting to just wing it, you know? I'd definitely would need some help hammering out the details.

I have no idea why, but I really like him XD I also like the premise of the story/dream. Fffff

Hee hee, I'm glad you like him! I kept giggling and squealing at how adorable his Leprechaun form was; it's like, one of those faces only a mother could love. xD He'd be super squishy too with all that fluff under his clothing. *HUGGLEDEATHSQUEEZE*
The more I think about the dream/story the more I'm charmed by it. It seems like a simple story, some comedy, some romance; a kind of story that many could relate to or at least hope to relate to someday.

I would love to read that story XD This is the type of stuff I adore - you know, cute, .... fluffy comedy with romance mingling within it. You should rp this. It's adorable.
But that's my .... supernatural romance muse talking here *has always loved that - would love to rp a ghost/human one too*

Oooh! You really would? Thanks for the encouragement I may consider doing both! If I do write the story I'll definitely need to find some help. I don't know the first thing about Irish customs.
I remembered you really liked ghosts!

Things don't change too much ;D
And yah, I meant rp out your dream, ffff XD

Pfffff. Oh of course that's what you meant. XD I'm so clueless sometimes! Well, how about I shoot you a note or PM sometime? Where are you more active these days, Gaia or DA?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Both about as equal, actually XD notes or pms on gaia are JUST as efficient XD so feel free to ping me a note here or a pm on gaia! You know my sn there.

Nice sheet! It's inspiring to see... Kinda makes me want to try my hand at one.... o.o
I love his outfit. <3

Thanks so much! Glad to hear it inspires you to try your hand at making one. I advise you give yourself a limit, least it take on a life of it's own. @o @;
His outfit was extremely simple in my dream. Very humble. Like the kind of outfit that's dated, but not super fancy, you know? A working man's outfit. It was fun to color. C:
