The first of the Arcana character sheets. Since many of you indicated that you want to know more about my characters, I'm going to do it this way. Major characters will each get their own sheet with some basic info and a character summary, and there's going to be some basic rundown of plot points in the future, which will be linked in the info of each character sheet. Just bear in mind, this is a PROJECT. It might take a while to get it all done. Hopefully you can bear with me and maintain interest.

Ah, thanks. She's a long-time favorite character, so I'm very pleased you like her whole deal. SO much fun to play!

Since this is her Character Sheet, I'll post it here. On The Mockingbird's Bower's comments was noticed the similarity between Rian and Satin's appearence.
Her traits are indeed quite similar to the Kidman's.
I just wanted to ask you if some other of your characters have a famous person as reference.
Just curiosity!!!Byez!

I hadn't thought about it at all, but now that a couple people are mentioning it, she really does look a little like Nicole Kidman... I think it's that somewhat feline look she gets sometimes. I don't really ever think about anyone in particular when I design my characters, just the kind of facial features that I like. If you happen to spot any real people that look like my characters, let me know!

Personally, I've always thought that Rian looks most like this lady: [link] [link] I have a couple other people that I'd have play my characters in the "movie version", if there ever was one, but I "cast" those guys WAY after I designed the characters. :3

I'd be curious to see the "real version"of your guys, even if you weren't thinking about them from the beginning...
Yes, the traits of the girl in the photos are actually more similar to Rian's...and sweeter than the Kidman's. But the eyes in your last work and the hair strongly reminds of the Kidman's

temiel In reply to raka-raka [2010-03-11 16:01:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I can definitely see the similarity.

I only have a couple people I've been thinking of as the "real" versions of my characters (I've got Rian, Farael and Malachi "cast", but nobody else, so no Pirossa yet... he is REALLY tough to peg!), but here they are anyway.

Rian I've been imagining as Evangeline Lilly, the girl in the photos I sent you already. Farael I've been imagining as this guy: [link] [link] [link] Even though they don't look EXACTLY alike, it's a whole screen-presence thing. Malachi, in my head, is this guy: [link] [link] [link] I can't remember if you were watching me when I drew the fanart of him as the vampire from that show Being Human... same guy. You know what's hilarious, when *rooster82 drew me a gift picture of Malachi she said that it started out being a fanart of Aidan Turner, and I hadn't told her that I associated him with Malachi at all.

OMG,I can imagine your happiness when she told you that!
I definitely support Farael as Prince Caspian!
I didn't know the other two vips(even if I heard about the telefilm).
It's cool to see them this way!

Unluckily no real Pirossa to drool after...

temiel In reply to raka-raka [2010-03-11 16:09:53 +0000 UTC]

YES YESSSS Caspian Farael. I own that movie EXCLUSIVELY for Ben Barnes eye candy so I can picture him being pretty battle-Farael.

Someday I'll figure Pirossa out. When I do, I'll let you know.

I love Ben Barnes...if only I had knew about this while drawing Dawn over a New World(aka Farael in trash undies)...That would have been a wonderful excuse to look for Ben's half naked photos!



I'll be waiting that day!

No, I haven't...cinema is becoming quite expensive lately(and despite the crisis you should book your place a week before, which is annoying) so I was waiting to see it at home...and procrastinated!
I'm sure he made the film worth to be seen!

omg, our conversation is reaching...masculine levels of perversion...

temiel In reply to raka-raka [2010-03-11 16:24:45 +0000 UTC]

He did in fact make it totally worth it. It was definitely more style than substance BUT I AM OKAY WITH THAT. Also, the costumes were amazing (when they weren't... you know... off. ). I really, really want my own copy of that movie, but alas, they haven't put out a region 1 DVD of it yet, so I was stuck watching it online.

Yes... yes, it is. But we've said it before... we're sad fangirls, and apparently unashamed to be so!

AWESOME, that's where I live now! We ended up picking Boston for the Urban Arcana plotline because that's where I was living for school, and it ended up becoming, like... the imperial capital city. When we move we are going to have very fond made-up memories of Boston indeed.

i like Rian, she seems like such a courageous and complex character, i would like to know more about her outside this character sheet.
oh, and i love the way you colored her dress, especially the texture. is it done traditionally or did you apply some texture in PS?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

temiel In reply to Lumysaara [2009-10-03 18:04:34 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks! She's actually fairly straightforward as characters go. Well-developed, maybe, but hardly what most would consider deep! You'll definitely be getting more info on her and her story soon, as part of the "giving my watchers info" project. Glad you're interested!

As for the dress, it's a little of both, actually. I had a pattern drawn on traditionally, but it seemed unconvincing with just the flat digital color on, so I put a sort of brocadey-fabric texture over and tweaked the opacity so you can see the sort of leafy thing I drew. I don't know if you can actually pick the drawn pattern out the way it looks now, but overall it has exactly the effect I wanted, so whether or not you can see the drawing is totally peripheral.

Lumysaara In reply to temiel [2009-10-03 18:06:04 +0000 UTC]

it looks great nonetheless, and there's something about it that does make me think of brocade and lace.

I like the layout of the character sheet. It's a nice balance between seeing and reading. It's also quite useful to understand some of your pictures better.
On a side note, you're really uploading quite a lot. I think you're uploading twenty pieces while I'm maybe uploading two or three. (And your drawings are way better, too)

Yeah, I do upload a hell of a lot. It's amazing how productive I am when I'm not at school!! I've been feeling the impetus to create a lot more lately, which I think can only be good!
