Description I finally finished a ref sheet I'm happy with! I'm so proud of myself

So last week I ran out of paper for a couple of days, which forced me to work on projects that I've already started on. I decided to refine some ref sheets (because they all currently look like crap) for my characters and started with Slayer since he has a pretty simple design compared to my other OCs.

So a little about him not already covered on the ref sheet...

Personality: Slayer is a huge introvert. He's not comfortable with sharing things about himself, but he's always willing to listen to other's thoughts or troubles and give advice when asked for it. Teaching martial arts is his passion, though he is very strict with his students on how they should use the skills they learn from him - he will promptly ban students from his classes if he ever catches them abusing their strength to harm others. When he's not giving lessons, Slayer likes to spend his time either alone to quietly read or to explore other studies going on within the royal palace he resides in.
Brief History: Slayer is the bastard child of a Drakoen soldier named Shoman and the previous Jacar Empress Ezme. Drakoen and Jacar species are constantly warring rivals, and making love to the other is an unthinkable taboo (thus why Slayer does everything he can to keep his heritage a secret). His true name is Alyser Shomanson, though he doesn't learn this until near the end of his adolescence. Instead, he bestowed the name Slayer upon himself as an otherwise nameless slave child through games he used to play pretending to be a warrior. Although silly, he maintains the name Slayer since the name Alyser is a Jacar name and would reveal his identity. When he was freed from slavery, he went on to join the Navy and was discharged several years later after sustaining handicapping burn injuries. After these wounds were healed by a particular Celestial Guard dragon (which is why he doesn't bear any scars from the war), he went on to teach martial arts and earned enough recognition to receive a place within the royal court of the Empress. This is where he currently stands...
Abilities: Though Drakoen can't use magic, royal members of the Jacar can, so Slayer also inherited this trait from his mother. Slayer can change whatever object he touches into whatever he wills it to be, but since this can also reveal his true identity, he never uses his magic except for emergencies.
Weapons of choice: Bow and arrow or a sword. I was going to add this to the sheet, but he doesn't really have a signature weapon that he always uses.
Clothing: What is on the ref sheet is what he normally wears, but I decided to save the other outfits he has for a different ref sheet. Again, he doesn't have a signature design for the clothes he wears, so people who are going to draw him can dress him up however they'd like. Of course, there are holes on the back of his clothes for his wings and tail.



Phew! Character-wise, Slayer is one of my older and more complex OCs. His background is almost as crazy as Iahdo's...

I like the detail in it but I feel the text is too hard to read because its so small. I had to squint/strain and pull my laptop closer to read it ...

yeah, I tinkered around with the sizes a bit to try and fix that, but then I said the hell with it and allowed the fullview size to be the original huge document. I think you have to click it twice in order to get the fullview, or you can just download the image

Yaaaay for refs!!! (: And this one is like... three billion times better than the crap I've been putting out. XD

Now I can use this to draw Slayer for you. I should to a before and after. I drew him in his anthro form, what, three/four years ago? Fuuun.

nuh-uh, your characters are like 10x more spiffy than this guy.

You know, I was actually looking through your gallery to find that picture to add to my fanart collection, but then I saw it in your scraps and wondered if it would be too embarrassing for you if I showed it off xD I'm nearly done drawing Kya for you, but that's been an on and off project for me. Sorry for taking so long D8

Sirquo In reply to Jazz-Rhythm [2011-07-11 15:38:02 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh that picture is so oooold. xD You should wait until I do a better one. Haha! But if you insist, you can take that picture. It is interesting to see how much I've changed, though. Haha

And I need to work on Slayer. I've been so buuuusy. I hate summer classes and silly people drama and whatnot. I need to sit down and do some work! Don't apologize about Kya since I have nothing to show with Slayer either. XD How about we say we get the pictures done by.... the end of the year.

Jazz-Rhythm In reply to Sirquo [2011-07-19 01:16:32 +0000 UTC]

lol, once you finish you should put the new one and old one side by side in that before and after meme.

That's all understandable, so no worries. But end of the year sounds like a good goal 8D

And yes. End of the year. ;D

You should totally do Nicki next *nodnod*
But my ref sheets look really wimpy compared to this.... *sob* But then again, people look like people. You don't have to worry about wings and stuff-ness of doom

Jazz-Rhythm In reply to Saerif [2011-07-11 03:50:11 +0000 UTC]

I think I will since Nicki will be an easy one. And noooo, your refs aren't wimpy, they just don't require as much info because like you said, they're people. Everyone knows what a human looks like, so they're much easier to create refs for
