Description
A couple weeks ago and I were talking about doing one of these, and after bouncing around some ideas this is what we came up with. Basically, the idea is to draw any one character as they would appear in a variety of popular fiction genres. It's designed with original characters in mind, but you can really use any character you want.Download for the big version, but if you want a larger one let me know.
When you're done, let me know; if I get a good number of these I'll get a feature going. Also, please link back to the original here so other people can join in.
The first box is for your character as they normally appear; if they normally appear in one of the other genres, that's OK, use their regular appearance here and get creative with the genre box. The last box is your choice, pick a genre we don't already have (e.g.: superhero, romance, erotica, suspense, sports, children's - whatever you pick please label it so we all know).
If you have any questions about what entails which genre, feel free to ask; generally the definitions should be considered very broadly.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Have fun!
-D

It's kind of a martial arts fantasy setting. It's what you see in Kung Fu movies and Chinese costume dramas, usually pseudo-historical China, the way western fantasy is usually set in pseudo-medieval Europe.
For our purposes here you can really make it any kind of Asian Martial Arts though, it doesn't have to be that specific.

Nice! I'm glad to see the ol' meme still getting some love, when I get back home from LA I'll put another journal feature together.

Wuxia would be a martial arts adventure. Usually they're about a guy in historical China who wanders around righting wrongs (or getting revenge) with his awesome Kung fu skills. For the purposes of this meme it doesn't have to be exactly that, just something martial arts related.
It's explained in more detail here - [link]

Puld actually refers to the format rather than the genre, but I couldn't think of the right term for what I was looking for. Basically it's like the Shadow or Indiana Jones; the kind of late 19th-early 20th century adventure story that takes place in contemporary times but has fantastic elements that make it larger than life.
Let me know when you're done, I'd like to see what you come up with,

Very nice! Also congratulations, you're the first person to complete this. Once I've got a few of these I'll probably put a feature together.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Things like this make me wish I could actually draw my own characters cause I'd love to try something like this out.

For me, finding thematic fonts for everything was a big part of the fun. If you know an artist who's willing you could hand it off to them... 10 boxes is a lot, but people seem to like these things.

Well I DO have one artist I could ask about helping out with this. Hope you don't mind if the pics are in black and white though.

No problem at all - I want people to go with whatever style suits them best. Usually these things are just line drawings since drawing, and then coloring ten different pics is a bit of work. (I'll be coloring mine, since I color everything, but as it is I'm still less than halfway done).
