Description [edit2] Mini Ref

[edit] Filled example

The last one  is getting kinda old, so I thought I'd make a new one!

I wanted to keep the folder sort of look, but a little simpler and more friendly to use.  ^.^  So here's an updated, more streamlined ref template with slightly different questions but with the same basic idea.  

I also want to make a mini version, like a card sort of look that can just have any one image of the character put in it, with a few basic facts and a color palette.  And I want to put up some bases to use with 'em too.  But we'll see.  

Terms: 
You CAN: 
  • Modify this in any way except to remove the credit
  • Upload filled versions to your dA account (tag me, I wanna see!)
  • Use this as many times as you want
  • Upload this filled or blank to other sites  
    • It has the url of my dA page in it, so there's no real need to link back here.  It is nice though.
  • Review this in a video or whatever
You CANNOT
  • Remove or change my credit (the thing that says 'template (c) moon-apprentice'
  • Claim to have made this template
  • Charge money for this template/sell this template
    • You CAN, however, offer commissions to fill one out for others' characters


So, what's in the .zip file?

  • Photoshop file
  • MS-paint friendly png template 
  • All the layers separate
  • Printable text version of the questions on the right
    • in word, openoffice, and text-only formats

The template is 2000 pixels wide, and it's intended to be posted at a lower size, as low as 1024px even.  So don't worry too much about the resolution of drawings you put into it, because it'll be compressed down anyway.  

Oh, and please note - the 'white' paper, isn't white, it's gray.  So don't erase by brushing white over, or you'll have a bad time.  Use the color dropper instead.

What the Sam hill is a Briggs-myers type?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

moon-apprentice In reply to samuraivalerie [2018-02-08 18:26:10 +0000 UTC]

It's a way of classifying personalities, with four categories

For example, my type is INTP. 

I - Introverted, rather than extroverted
N - Intuitive, rather than sensing
T - Thinking, rather than feeling
P - Perceiving, rather than judging

The opposite type would be ESFJ.  

Explanations of each type can be found here
Funny/entertaining explanations of each type can be found here

You'll also find various quizzes to figure out your type online with a quick google search, though they aren't very reliable.  

Have fun!

Wouldnt it have been easier for that slot to say, personality type? or been a slot where you sum up the character's personality in three words? that's how my reference sheets usually work. (in all ways not just characters)

moon-apprentice In reply to samuraivalerie [2018-02-08 19:15:12 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps, but please realize you're talking to someone who made three different character ref templates because they thought the others weren't detailed enough  XD

I'm a sucker for (probably unnecessary) detail.  If the briggs-myers type doesn't do it for you you're of course welcome to replace that slot with something you like better.

If it dont work to get to the point it dont work at all.
That's how my resume works and that's how i keep track of all my characters for all my workings as simply as possible. the more you over complicate something the more it works against you.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, It's just a tip you might need later on.

Wow...i'm sorry you had to deal with such an incredibly rude comment. Simple is cool and all but it's also easy and easy is boring, detailing things is fun, character development is fascinating I constantly work to develop my characters further, it helps me think outside the box, consider things I never would have before. It gives them more depth and makes them more interesting, what's the point of writing/drawing if you're not gonna get detailed & creative? We're not writing text books for crying out loud. 

Detail away moon-apprentice! It makes for better characters & better writing. <3

Briggs Myers Type,Politics and Income can you specify those sections?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

moon-apprentice In reply to MelisSmallsourgeShip [2017-10-13 15:40:31 +0000 UTC]

The Briggs Myers types are common personality types made of four letters, which refer to whether the person is extroverted or introverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and judging or percieving.  Descriptions can be found here
By politics I mean your character's opinions about whatever government is in their universe
By income I mean how much money the character makes or has compared to other characters in their universe - it doesn't have to be a specific number, you can say 'working class' 'middle class' etc if you prefer
