Ok, I had this genius idea, since I've been working on comic stuff, (Manga mostly) and some folk might need reference material for Heroes. Either that or they just feel like getting sketched...
So anyway! Here's how it works, you send me an image of you, I draw it Heroes/anime style.
Email it to me at
lildragonfeirce@gmail.com entitled
RE Heroes Sketch or I won't open the email.
The email itself: All the things below are required as well as if you want an an image emailed back to you, and if you want it resized or not. All sketches will be posted in this thread as well as emailed to the subject if requested.
Names: Give me your name in the email, your username first, then if you want a certain name, make sure that's in the email too.
RL Image: In black and white, it's easier for me to see what I need to draw. If your bandwidth can handle it, please don't resize it, I need details sometimes. If you do need to resize it, keep it like... 800x600 or in that area Please make sure it's a clear image, not blurry, smeared, etc. Also be sure that the lighting's good, if you want it shadowy, light and bright, whatever, make sure you let me know.
Clothes: Either wear what you want to be wearing in the sketch, or wear something similar and send me an image of what you want.
Powers: Tell me what your power is. And please, either explain it clearly in text, or send me a picture of a look alike for reference material
If you want to make all this easier, just send me your profile for Heroes along with the images. Try to keep things down to one email. If you need to make it more then one for some reason, label them 1,2,3, so on and so forth.
This is how it is:1. If it's part of you, but it's not in your picture, it won't be in the sketch. Sorry, but I have trouble fighting how to draw things I can't see.
2. Keep in mind these are quick sketches, keep it simple guys.
3. There can be delays on a one every now and then, due to health issues, but I promise they won't be extended amounts of time. I'll try to get each sketch done within three days of getting your email, but depending on how many emails I get, it could be shorter or longer. Trust me, I will get to your sketch
4. The closest to backgrounds I'm doing is if you happen to be standing on something specific
5. The only items I'm doing are the ones you are directly in contact with. The stack of lewt or anything else, won't be in the image, it's just your Heroes character.
6. Anything uber special you think should be in there that you're not holding, touching, standing on, I want you to explain it and send a separate image
8. If I ask you to give me another image because something is wrong with the current one, please do so.
I know this sounds pretty complex right now, but if you read through the rules, then follow them, it's really quite simple.
If anyone wants to help me with this by coloring the images, I will seriously bake and send them a box of cookies.
This is pretty much how things will turn out, but keep in mind, it might be different for each sketch depending on the person and what qualities I want to bring out. I'm doing the sketches in order of how they come in my inbox.
This is pretty much the art style and what things'll come out as:
The PictureThe sketchSorry if the sketch looks iffy, I was too lazy to go downstairs and use the scanner for a lowly example. Your sketches will be better quality. Things are also a bit disproportional due to a serious coughing/sick fit while trying to draw.
And Transcon, If you want to be drawn, we'll have to talk out how it works since it'd be a little difficult for you to take a picture of you in a gargoyle suit.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them in this thread.
