Squinky's Character drawing II, Electric boogaloo Options

[SpasticTeapot]

And now for something completely different:

Jules a male elf, in good shape although a little pale and skinny as a result of cocaine abuse. His hair is black, his eyes are brown, and he has a small handlebar moustache. He's wearing an old "Jetblack" T-shirt, some blue jeans, and a police-surplus armored jacket. He's got a pair of heavy pistols in holsters, a pair of those dorky polycarbonate glasses you always see people wearing on a firing range, and a pair of those bunny ears you always see obnoxious little anime fans wearing.

Betcha didn't see that last one coming.

I need to get a move on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is:

Greybrother's Obsidian

[GreyBrother]

Wow... that looks totally awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thank you very much

[Squinky]

No prob, I got to try a lot of things with it, thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is :

Coldhand Jake's Jake

Here is :

Coldhand Jake's Jake

The art is right on for the style, only complaints are that you can't really make out his wedding ring, and his hair's a shade too blonde... but all in all, so close it's scary, considering Jake's based on me, and it looks eerily accurate...great job.

[Squinky]

Woops, I lost the ring in the color stage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

All fixed, check it out, maybe better?

Oddly, I based the guy off me, bodywise. I don't have the hair though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just a lame buzz cut ehrn I feel like, so you beat me for cool factor.

Weirdly though, I wore that haircut in the picture for a good 5 years when I was younger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Coldhand Jake]

Looks great, can you tell me what's on the AR display?

[Squinky]

Mostly a bunch of crazy crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Inside the circle, their is a scribble of a woman's silhouett, their are some arrows, fake Asian writing, and their is a biomonitor display with hearts like on an old video game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is:

Kingmaker's Adrian

[Kingmaker]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) That's awesome. Really captures him.

[Kyoto Kid]

No Prob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks to everyone for keeping me doodling.

Here is:
Tsuyoshikensu's Thud

I meant to color this, and I also intended to put his helmet in his off hand, but I'm tired and I forgot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Not to mention I managed to get a shard of glass in my middle finger, right where I rest my drawing tools (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

...I so totally love it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

For my old Milwaukee based campaign, I had a segment titled Take the Chipheads Bowling.

[edit] lots of catching up to do...

No prob, I got to try a lot of things with it, thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is :

Coldhand Jake's Jake

...most excellent dude. Love the character and the depiction. (being a baroque music aficionado I really love the T-shirt - used to actually say that with the follow up "but then I'd be de-Composing wouldn't I?...)

I need to get a move on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is:

Greybrother's Obsidian

....nice composition and excellent work at getting both faces to match. I like the new "matrix" effect here and in Jake above.

Here is:

Kingmaker's Adrian

...ahh back to the basics. Nice touches to the rifle (especially the wrap around the stock) . Judging from his expression, anybody calls him shorty better be ready to back those words up.

...OK I am joining a new campaign that is sort of retro as it takes place before Super Tuesday (& yes it is 3rd ed). For my character, I have dusted off the original Violet who unfortunately had a brief carreer at the hands of a "Kobayshi Maru" type of GM. In her original incarnation she was a decker with yes, a real deck she built by herself. Still Victorian-goth in appearance and still a big fan of the Lemony Snicket stories. Her deck (on par with a souped up Renraku Kraftwerk) is encased in what appears to be a kid's tutoring computer (kind of like a 2050s version of the Leapfrog™).

Here is the challenge: Violet is very "dark" even though a babe in the literal sense (this Violet is younger, being sixteen years and eight months instead of nearly twenty). She carries herself as an adult, as like her SR4 counterpart, she was denied a real childhood but this time because she was simply so much smarter than the other kids. She fancies herself an inventrix in the mold of her alter ego (see below) and often retreats to her shop to tinker on some strange, yet useful device between runs.

In the matrix, her icon takes on the likeness of her confident and resourceful heroine Violet from the Lemony Snickett books. Each of her utilities manifests itself as an odd looking neo-Victorian styled apparatus (think HG Wells.).

Take as much time as you need on this one, I don't even mind if other character requests step in front of her.

KingMaker
Woot! Awesome, glad you dig it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Kyoto
Thats awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sometimes I wonder if you shouldn't get into writing as well.

...actually I kind of am. I have tonnes of notes from my Rhapsody in Shadow campaign and realised there is a real story lurking in there. I enjoy writing the fluff part of a campaign as I really want the players to feel there is a real world there. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I have been known to spook a player and even make an entire group of players sweat bullets now & then with a setting description. Part of my college carer was also spent in theatre and I am a big fan of old time radio drama. I actually enjoy listening to sporting events more on the radio because you have to make the effort to visualse the scene the play by play announcer is describing.

I basically have synthenesia which is the ability to visualise scenes, colours, etc from musical, verbal, and written sources. This is why once I pick up a book I cannot stop until I am finished with it as I can "see" what is happening as if it were a film. Similar with music I can sense light, darkness and colour and even temperature depending on the harmony, pitch, rhythm, and instrumental textures. I can often "play "back music in my head from simple songs to full symphonic works literally note for note and instrument for instrument (who needs an iPod?).

I have written a couple short works back in college (albeit unpublished) the best of which is titled Trans Dimensional Airlines (unfortunately a bit dated today).

...and then there are my character backstories: the Short One's is 110 pages (MS Word) done in narrative style. Leela...well hers is part of the whole RiS cycle mentioned above.

[SpasticTeapot]

I can't wait to see how mine turns out!

[Squinky]

Well cool then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here he is:

SpasticTeapot's Jules

I took a couple libertys with him, I really hope its okay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The bunny ears just took me down that road.

Kyoto
Wow, thanks a ton for the in depth comments on the pics. I really appreciate it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[SpasticTeapot]

Honestly, I like your view of him better than mine. Shadowrunners are invariably square-jawed badasses with a perpetual scowl on their face, wheras I've got a wannabe glam-rocker with bunny ears and the sort of moustache you'd expect on a german porno actor.

[Squinky]

Har! Thats awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thats the problem with interpretting things as an artist, you never really know what other people are imagining. Guess this time it worked out in, at least an interesting way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That said, I'm down to only two requests:

HeavyMetalYeti's Image that I have put off too long
And Kyoto's Violet request

If anybody out there is holding off, feel free to post a request (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I get restlessly bored lately if I don't have a project.

Ditto I make notes of campines and gaming groups and then use parts in short stories

Well if your really up for a challenge I could have 10 more pics for you but that's basically asking for your to draw every one in my PbP game and a group shot. There all here marksman included but if you take this job up then I'll have to get some more feed back from my players.

Edit forgot to link to the current descriptions and back stories

http://fieldsoffire.wikidot.com/char-list

If you want to take this on then wait a bit until i get full descriptions for all of them.

[Squinky]

Hell's yeah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Only thing is I may skip around to others as they come, so this bulk request doesn't make them wait forever.

So yeah, get some full descriptions and I am game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Dumori]

Cool yeah I't only somthing to keep you going they all have poker hand code names as well like marksman. I feel it would not only add to the wiki but the feel of the game if we had pictures as well.

HeavyMetalYeti's Roadkiller

[Kairo]

Heya Squinky, love your work. I'll throw my name in the hat to get a character drawing, if you have time.

Here are some descriptions...

Concept: Arcane Treasure Hunter
Name: Jason Red Cloud "Glyph Diver"
Heritage: Sioux and Hawaiian.
Hair: Brown, cropped short
Eyes: Brown
Physical Features: Toned build. Strong jawline. No tattoos although he has tribal designs on most of his clothing.
Notes: He's got the trademark Indiana Jones hat, but he's replaced the whip with a band of throwing knifes and an Ares Predator. He usually wears his smartlinked sunglasses at the excavation sites he frequents in Greece and Egypt. He's a mystic adept who uses detection spells to try and find magical artifacts. He has a cross necklace that is really a power focus.

That's about it. Thanks!

HeavyMetalYeti's Roadkiller

...I love it. reminds me of the time KK had to drive the rest of the team (none of whom had any vehicular skill...including her), while being pursued by a bunch of go-gangers (sucks sometime to have the highest reaction). A couple of them jumped off their bikes onto the roof and everytime she heard a thunk on top she hit the brakes (with both feet) then the accelerator.

When she was shoved in the driver's seat and told to drive her line was something like "I think I remember seeing how daddy did it" (requiring a memory test - thank goddess she had a high intuition).

[HeavyMetalYeti]

I LIKE IT!!!

Great job on the concept, it was just like I had in my headl.

Keep up the great work.

[Squinky]

Thanks man!

I guess I need to post that I may not be able to work on these images for about a month. I have a major art project that takes priority, but I will be back to catch up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
