What is this I hear you asking? It is a mini unofficial DU challenge me and pondered over for quite a little while, one I think we should all have a little go at if you are willing and up for it... and if you also like music. The challenge? Make an Official Soundtrack for one of your chosen Deviant Universe characters!
Step 1: An album cover is needed for your character's official soundtrack. It can be any size really, just so long as its square to fit into a CD case! Album art is pretty important when it comes to making a soundtrack (OST) I feel, so make a pretty cool one of your character to suit the general mood of your OST if you can
Step 2: The songs! This part is pretty simple, though you can potentially make it as deep as you want. Search your music collection or search the internet to find songs you'd like to have in your character's OST. It can just be songs you like... or even songs you feel represent your character and their journey. Essentially you should make something of a compilation album to represent your chosen character.
But there are some rules to follow on your song selections! The same artist can only have two songs tops on your album. The odd Instrumental song is encouraged but not mandatory by any means. Also, the album must not extend over an hour. (I don't mind if you go one minute or so over if you really want to squeeze that special extra song in there. Mine goes about 20 seconds over an hour.)
As you can see, I've made a Blaze OST as a means to provide an example just above... I'm really pleased how the album cover came out if I'm honest... it might just be one of the best images I've ever made in my personal opinion XD
But yeah, you can optionally leave links to youtube to show off the songs in your album and let others listen. If you are up for this mini unofficial challenge, what are you waiting for? Go make yourself an OST for your DU character! Remember, roughly an hour long, and only two songs per artist just to mix it up.
Whilst not an official DU challenge, this has been approved by There is no time limit on this, so you guys can take your time picking your songs. I hope you guys get involved, can't wait to see what you come up with if you do
Blaze belongs to

Oh, since we're talkin' music, this rather old song inspired me to create Rufus in the first place: [link]
It will so be the first track on my OST!

I am not sure why this did not appear in my inbox
Anyway, the cover looks fantastic and I am sure the songs you pick suit Blaze's character. Awesome title for Track 4

Thanks very much for the kind comment. The tune is pretty awesome as well to be fair to match the title

Interesting idea. I've already started a collection of songs that I have felt would make a good SaberCat soundtrack, though they're mainly songs for myself to listen to while writing or drawing, to get me inspired. But I might take this challenge on.

Well like I said, it can just be random songs you like. Doesn't have to be deep meaningful songs that represent every step your character took. Some of the songs in mine do represent Blaze in some way, but others are just there cause I like the song XD
Interested to see what you come up with for SaberCat

Indeed. I hope it takes off and other people have a go at it. *looks directly at you* Hmmmmm?

I'd love to! My inspiration and characters thrive on music!
But ... I have nothing to make squared images
Just usual paper and an ordinary ( rather cheap ) scanner.

I already know a few of the songs that belong there. The only trick is picking the ones that aren't obviously romantic as the focus. While it's a secondary focus at times for the character, she's not constantly focused on her romantic entanglements... or whatever we're going to call the mess that is her 'love life.'

Heh. Well like I said there is no time limit, so you can take your time with this and go with what you feel is best for Samantha. Nothing else has to be set in stone either, I never said one cannot replace songs they are not happy with later on down the line

I agree that's a pretty sweet image. Also a really cool idea. I kind of already do this since when I'm drawing a character, I listen to music I think they'd personally listen to. Never thought of a character album though.

thedude255 In reply to Velthice [2013-07-04 10:30:24 +0000 UTC]
Yah... I'm proud of an image for once XD
If that is the case music wise, then there is no reason not to make a nice lil OST for some of your cool characters if you're willing The concept kind of came from that, there always tends to be songs we associate with our characters so me and Verti figured, why not make an OST/Album rather then just one or two songs. Gives a nice film feel to the character.
I'd like to see what you come up with if you make one too
Thanks for the kind comment!

I already have given a theme song and battle-theme song to each of my characters. Maybe I'll get into this.

Well that was where the concept came from for the most part. We all tend to have a song we have associated with our characters so me and Verti thought... why not go all the way and make an OST for our characters? This is what I came up with for Blaze. You should have a go at it yourself.
