Description For a while, I had thought that I could finally start "finalizing" character designs for my original story Time_Less . Here is the second set. Here is a [link] to the first.

These were intended to be drawn quickly... but then I started getting picky.. VERY picky on various things. While some aspects could use an improvement and corrections... I don't have the leisure to do so since I want to get as many characters drawn out as possible.

Also, most were posted in my blog beforehand.
Crea is the protagonist in her story but crosses paths with the story Charity and Harmonia are in.
Charity and Harmonia shares the same story~
Jikan and Aiyami shares the story after the above.

Charity Vell Valayno: (06/18/10) This is the first time I've finalized her design and color palette. I gave her green hues (uhh.. seafoam green) as her main color because I recall having few to no characters being dressed in green.

Aiyami: (07/30/10) She turned out to be a little more difficult than expected. However, her color palette remains the "same." Somehow, her appearance reminds me of an alchemist..

Harmonia: (08/16/10) Wow.. I knew Harmonia would be associated with sunflowers and stuff, but I hadn't expected this combination. Regardless, I like her color scheme and design (although, it's a bit complex). Somehow, she became one of the taller characters in the series. AND I drew her (unreferenced lol) bow that is currently taking up a lot of white space. Sorry ;;.

Crea: (08/19/10) Woow.. after making her in 2005 (I think), I never drew her regular design. Instead, I would draw her in her alternative design. I'm not sure sure what her shawl does.. but perhaps she can make use of the runes written on it to cast spells or something. Not many people can just the shawl in that way though.

Jikan: (8/20/10) Uhh Jikan was actually first drawn before Aiyami on 06/19/10.. but her design bugged me for some reason. It wasn't until today that I decided to redo half of her design and opted for a cloak to cover her shoulders because my repairs weren't going so well haha.

I could write more... but it would come out pretty long.
Well, now that the primary female side is finished~ yaay!
I can finally start on the male side and they're about the same number of females I've drawn so far orz.

Very awesome, great work! ^_^
I think I like Aiyami's design best, but you did an excellent job on all of them.

It feels like it's been so long since you posted any Time_Less pictures so it's really nice to see all the new designs. Love them all, gah, my inner cosplayer wants to do Jikan's outfit so badly but I'm just too busy now.

Thank you~~ I'm flattered to hear (er.. read) that Jikan's outfit appeals to the inner cosplayer in you. oAo

And it has been a while since I've made Time_Less pictures~ I'm still concentrating on getting the rest of the profile images done (now working on the male side) but once that's done, I can resume working on regular illustrations~

kariavalon In reply to capriangel [2010-08-22 07:06:28 +0000 UTC]

ahh thank you! >w< I focused more on coordinating color schemes this time because I noticed that some of my random schemes aren't very pleasing to look at after a while haha~ and I'm glad I was able to vary my outfit designs slightly. Otherwise, most of them still has some element that gets recycled such as collars and ribbons. xD;

Thank you~ owo

Haha, after I finished drawing all these.. I noticed that there's some patterns on how they dress like ribbons, collars, etc. It's not bad, but it makes me feel like I wasn't very creative lol.

I like the similarities- it makes the style for the story consistent. :3

kariavalon In reply to Beastiewolf [2010-08-26 05:20:39 +0000 UTC]

At the very least, these characters take part in different stories so they aren't together at the same time (therefore making the patterns unnoticeable unless the viewer has a keen eye for connecting things).

I admit that the consistency is going to help me. xD
I think the trouble with Jikan's previous design was that some of it wasn't consistent with some of the common elements. It also didn't help that it turns out that it was kind of cumbersome to draw too.. but that's another story haha. xD;

And I hope to talk to you on AIM one day~~ I think I have a good 'test' VN model and I'd like to discuss it with you ;u;

Beastiewolf In reply to kariavalon [2010-08-26 22:05:36 +0000 UTC]

That makes sense, then. :3 They do seem connected in a way, though.

Consistency is probably the most important thing in character design- if your characters don't stay consistent, then it's hard to recognize them. That's why I just say all of my characters are works in progress. XD

Oh! I wanna seeeeee! I haven't been on AIM lately because it's not working. >:<

kariavalon In reply to Beastiewolf [2010-08-27 05:29:02 +0000 UTC]

.. that's good to hear! oAo that means that the revisions I did to the plot line that has nearly everyone connected gets strengthened thanks to the designs I made for them.

Before this project.. I think only 1-2 had a complete design (including colors). The rest didn't have anything to work with which is kind of bad since the story was still "under development" for so long already.

Plus.. I'm going to look forward to fanart/giftart/etc someday and having references is a must for that to happen. xD

ahh DD: I hope you can get AIM fixed soon~

It's alright, just take your time- as long as you happy with them upon completion, you should work on them as long as you want. :3

I should do more fanart for you now that I'm no longer a crappy artist. XD

I trrrryyyy~ It works on my desktop, but not on my laptop. >:

Yeah~ I just hope I can finish the project by late this year though. That would be really amazing for me. >o<

fff you've improved so much and I would be enthralled to see one of my characters rendered in your style ahh~ *A*

That's a good goal, actually- I need to make more goals. XD

Sounds good! You should request someone. :3
