Description Hng I'm going to be ultra lazy with these ref sheets. xD I should probably have turnarounds on them but YOU KNOW WHAT. I'M TOO LAZY. I might make some later but for now this is what you get. >8U
--
Name: Elliot Connelly. Not related to the actress. Lol.
Nickname: ....Elliot
Age: DFJSDKGSD ...he doesn't have a set age. Age him to whatever you want, bro. |D I usually draw him around 12-17 though. :u
Height: Shorter than most guys, but has a growth spurt around age 17 which leaves him a -hair- taller than Emily. Age 12= abouttt 4'6" Age 14= 5'3" Age 17=5'7". In other words, he's friggin short. 8I
Weight: Despite the copious amounts of celery Elliot consumes, he tends to be on the heavy side. He holds this pudginess until his late teens/early 20s.
Personality: Stubborn, hot-headed, immature, not very serious about most things
Some important things to know:
In the Dream World, he is the pilot of a flying tree and has two flying cats...whose designs are still under construction. Bear with me.
He has a fear of being ignored and/or left out of things, so often he's subject to peer pressure. Ruh-roh.
His family is pretty dang poor. So drawing him in a limousine with sweet babes and cool shades isn't entirely realistic. You could still do it for shits and giggles, though.
He's a closet geek. Doesn't admit he likes half of the things he likes because he's afraid of being a loner (not that he isn't already, which is why he hangs out with all of the other misfit kids, but he's in denial and just wants to be loved. :'c <3)
Likes: Being social, THE GREAT OUTDOORS... of the cruddy town he lives in, dancing (although he can't dance really at all), pretending pieces of broccoli are little trees filled with innocent squirrels and DEMOLISHING THEIR LIVES. DB
Dislikes: Dogs, puppets, silly teenage melodramas, being alone, being ignored, and Megan Fox (although he still thinks she's hot. He just won't ever admit it.)
Favorites:
Movies: The Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle, Star Wars: A New Hope, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Kick-Ass, and The Neverending Story
TV Shows: Robot Chicken = his addiction. Also Futurama, Dr. Who, South Park, The Office, and a bunch of miscellaneous things on the History Channel. :T
Books: Varjak Paw, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter
Songs: Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes, The Denial Twist - The White Stripes, Cousins - Vampire Weekend, Sheep Go to Heaven- Cake, Magic Carpet Ride- Steppenwolf, Safety Dance- Men Without Hats
Food: Celery, Celery and Peanut Butter, Celery and Peanut Butter Sandwich, Celery and Potato Soup, Stuffed Celery, Apple and Celery Bread, Cream of Celery soup, STEAK.

Other:
Shortly after Elliot's mother became pregnant, his father left her and broke off all contact with her. Elliot's grandparents, having disapproved of the relationship from the start, chose to ignore Elliot's existence. AND SO BASICALLY ELLIOT'S ONLY FAMILY IS HIS MOTHER~ his mother is a 'glass half empty' sort of woman who works at the local health food store and always smells like incense. She and Elliot live together in a crappy little apartment near the center of town. Elliot's bedroom is actually a walk-in closet changed and stuffed to the brim with furniture (tiny bed, dresser, lamp, shelf) so that it functions as his bedroom. There is basically no walking space in his room and the bottom drawers of his dresser are completely inaccessible.
Since Elliot's mother is usually out of the house and he's home alone, he spends a LOTTTT of time in town, at friends' houses or having friends over. Especially Emily. SPEAKING OF EM...
Elliot didn't attend preschool or kindergarten, and tended to be a pretty lonely kid. Finally in 1st grade he goes to school and... is a recluse mostly until THIS ONE GIRL named Emily, being the overly caring sort of 6 year old she is, makes friends with him. AND FROM THEN ON UNTIL LIKE 7TH GRADE THEY ARE INSEPARABLE~ ...but then life becomes overly dramatic like it does for all middle schoolers and things get a little more awkward between the two thanks to teasing and whatnot. AT THAT POINT THEY START LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AS POSSBILY MORE THAN FRIENDS... mostly Emily does. Elliot tends to be blissfully ignorant sometimes. Anywho anywho since both of them don't want to ruin their friendship they start putting blocks between each other via dating random people (mostly on Elliot's part, which really just pisses Em off) and being much less close in general throughout freshman and sophomore year of high school. But some more dramatic pivotal events that I don't want to clearly outline since this is becoming a serious wall of text happen in junior year which sorta make them realize they have been idiots for the past 3 years and REALLY SHOULD BE FRANDS. 8'D ...and THEN they just become steadily more coupley from then on out, mostly throughout senior year and freshman year of college.
-flails- I forgot where I was. Um. OH.
OKAY.
SO EVENTUALLY ELLIOT BECOMES A MIDDLE SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER. AND HE'S THE KIDS' FAVORITE TEACHER BUT A LOT OF THE STAFF DISLIKE HIM. ALSO HE STARTS A FAMILY WITH EM. AND THEN HE ENDS UP DIEING AT AGE 78.
YOU'RE WELCOME.


TL;DR

-goes to play psychonauts-

Elliot (c) Me

haha yes!! pfft I gotta say, when I saw Elliot and I read that he loves LotR, I was like ” SAM ALL THE WAY WOOT.”
plus they're both short (Elliot would make a great hobbit xD)
so you're actually into LotR?? I actually just finished watching the whole trilogy, my first time hehe ^ . ^ Sam's my second favorite character (first is Merry and Pippin, especially Pippin <3) and third and Smeagol/Gollum haha

Also besides the comment about his stature, I would like to add I really have always liked his chara design! Seeing characters grow up normally leaves me felling that they lost something, but you managed to avoid this! Good job!
