Description For second task! 
All my OC-Training Works


 
Well... Denny's was my most straightforward and to the point guess who ever.  
He has the ability to see ghosts and people's auras!
Of course, there is much more to him than that.  You'll just have to find out more over the course of the round.
He could be described simply as the "Spirit Seer".

His three defining words are observant, dedicated, perturbed

He is 18 years old at the beginning of the story.
His birthday is January 9th, 1969. He is a Capricorn - with Scorpio rising and Cancer Moon (A straight-edge control freak with awesome sex appeal and deep mushy emotions.)
He is 6' [188 cm] and 162 lbs [73.5 kg].

Theme songs | [Spotify Playlist]  
spirit [era-appropriate tunes mostly]
"Dead Man's Party" - Oingo Boingo
"Somebody's Watching Me" - Rockwell
"5D (Fifth Dimension)" - The Byrds

love [this is the kind of music that he loves & relates to~ ;v;]
"I'll Hold You in My Heart (Till I Can Hold You in My Arms)" - Eddy Arnold *
"Walkin' After Midnight" - Patsy Cline *
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" - B. J. Thomas

insight [modern perfections]
"Dragonfly" - M. Craft
"Ghosts" - On and On
"Open Your Eyes" - Snow Patrol *

*songs that have to do with the girl he loves


Here is a detailed reference sheet (including the four expressions we're supposed to do):
 (his glasses and sweater have been updated since, though!)
And here are his (& everyone else's) body types:


---

Alright, now... who is this blushing brunette girl?
That's Fiala.  She's not officially enrolled, but is still participating this round...  
Here is her "guess who" picture:


You may (or may not) recognize her as the naked invisible stalker who was behind Shiden in the enrollment picture. (stop following me !!!) ... Well, she followed him right into the main round for this task!  I was able to utilize this picture to show their bodytypes in an interesting way rather than just being boring and submitting art I did many months ago.  (This will be their only combined one, but they'll certainly appear again in each other's tasks... )

Fiala is 16 at the start of the story.
Her birthday is 17 June (1971).  She is a Gemini, with Leo rising and Aries moon. (A flighty optimist and pretend egotist with, like, seriously fierce feelings!)
She is 5'10" [178 cm] and her weight fluctuates between 120-140 lbs [54-64 kg]

Her defining words are: gregarious, insecure, infatuated

Her main theme song has to do with Denny, so here's that... "Open Your Heart" - Madonna
more on her: Fiala Ratigan | Profile


---

You might also recognize the redhead between them as my icon. That's Holly (who was enrolled in the 5th round)--Fiala's best friend and the girl that Shiden loves...    Secretly. … but that's a story from another round.

The three of them make up the major love triangle of the story.

No worries!

Thank you so much!  It's so much more interesting to make a full picture instead of just having them stand their awkwardly in their undies lol.... I definitely should follow your example and do that again. XD

Ah, thank you!  I love that song so much

It's very interesting and a great challenge! Sometimes it's easier to just go for the straight profile though. Depends on how much time you have.

Well- THAT'S embarassing... Being followed by your stalker who thinks she's clever by shedding her clothes, only to you see her (kinda) anyway and know that she doesn't know. Yeesh... O///O


So Denny is her crush- eh? OwO Hmmm...

I absolutely love this piece still! It looks like an image straight out of a comic - the details of the background really make the piece feel as if it is a snapshot straight out of their lives. It's an amazing way to show both Fiala's as well as Shiden's body type, as well as show the way your characters' stories entwine with one another: Fiala watching Shiden from afar, Holly looking in slight shock at Fiala, and Shiden either watching Holly (hoping she'll look back) or pensively keeping an eye on Fiala... Ah, this love story keeps on breaking my heart. :') (Especially after this piece you did with a happy moment between Shiden and Holly!) I cannot help but fear their story/stories will end in tears and heartbreak. :')


I also enjoy the many different media you used to create this one. I especially enjoy the way you layered Fiala's hair (the shine looks so right).

Ah, thank you so very much Maeve!!
It is me writing their story afterall, so of course there will be tragedy...  but I promise it is not all sad!!  There are very happy and heartwarming things to come in their futures as well as great miseries  X'D

Thank you

MegaMaeve In reply to SunsetBlazer [2018-09-29 10:19:58 +0000 UTC]

You're always welcome! ^^

You being the Author of this particular story is exactly why I'm expecting bittersweet heartbreak. I must admit I am relieved to hear that it won't be all sad though (even though this 'love triangle' has such a great prospect for drama (which delights my inner evil reader )). I hope that each of them will find what they seek/need - and that Holly and Shiden especially will have some moments of peace and quiet to themselves, most of all.

Does he have any friends he can confide in?

SunsetBlazer In reply to StoryMaker91 [2018-09-14 15:21:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, I've actually be thinking about that lately. X'D  I noticed on a character relationship graph I have, that he's the only one without any 'friendship' lines.  He really doesn't have any friends outside of his family... Pushkari, Hana or Mamoru might be potential confidants (they're his cousins), but honestly... his mom is his very best friend. (Which I'll got into in the in-private task )

StoryMaker91 In reply to SunsetBlazer [2018-10-04 04:09:25 +0000 UTC]

I think family bonds can also be friendships. I consider my sister to be one of my best friends, but that's because I connect with her as a friend, beyond and separate from my connection to her as a sister.

charcoalfeather [2018-09-11 03:04:59 +0000 UTC]

Great work on the details in this piece, and the water as well. I like how Shiden is just staring at the two girls, not sure what to make of them. I like how Fiala is obviously blushing while looking at him and stalking him lol, and he just feels so awkward and probably knows about her obsession already.

SunsetBlazer In reply to charcoalfeather [2018-09-12 15:17:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much!!  Yes... he has a pretty good idea of how much she likes him.  And it is extremely awkward and uncomfortable... for all 3 of them.

Birdhousebirdy [2018-09-10 18:11:48 +0000 UTC]

What a great way to do both your Profile tasks! Pool party.
I love how Holly is looking at Fiala like "Hello..." and poor Shiden is avoiding them.
All the songs are so lovely. I feel ashamed that I didn't really recognize any one of them. Hurray new music! (Except Fiala's theme song...cuz everyone knows Madonna. lol)
Great job with the picture, btw. I love how bright and vibrant you made the 2 pool chairs.
