May 2008 - I'll Write You a Story + Contest

Journal Entry: Fri May 16, 2008, 5:22 PM
  • Mood: Hungry
:heart: EDIT 5.12.08: A couple nights ago, :iconluciole: asked me to make up a story for her pieces:

It's motivated me to to get back into writing. Suffice to say, my own original characters aren't providing me with anything. So, toss me something of yours and let me see if I can put words to it. You can add a description of what you'd like - say a myth for your world, a story explaining how a character got an item, etc (although, in truth, I prefer full freedom). In terms of writing, I am much more at mercy to my inspiration than I am when I draw, so things may be hit or miss.

Allowed: side- and back- stories of your original character/headworld , stories for pieces without them, etc.
Not Allowed: pieces with stories already (I don't want to be writing a prose-format version of something you already wrote), licensed characters (I am not a good fanfiction writer), poetry (I just suck at it.)

:heart: EDIT 5.10.08: One of my final projects got extended into con preparation week, so I'm extending the contest until after I come back from A-Kon - on June 3. Thank you very much for all the really lovely entries! T_T Haha, you all make me want to draw my own characters again.

:heart: EDIT 05.08.08 - Finals, finals, finals. I need to organize myself for the summer. IF I OWE YOU SOMETHING, AND YOU'RE NOT LISTED HERE, COMMENT. That includes: giftart, collabs, kiribans, comissions, what have you. Vector calculus has fried my brain and I can no longer remember who I owe what to - my room has become so disorganized that I can't find my commission notes anymore.

OUTFIT DESIGN CONTEST!


:bulletblue: CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Bohren of Tabir (fyi, Tabir rhymes with "saber")
Gender: Male
Age: 17-23
Ethnicity: Brennan (somewhere between German and English)
Body Characteristics: Tall, fit, athletic, and broad-shouldered build. Dirty blonde hair, a little sunbleached. Eyes change from black to brown to yellow to red. Caucasian skin. Adorable smile is notably best feature. Very boyish-handsome.
Personality: Works as a knight, employed by the royal family. Specializes in two-handed swordsmanship (one sword, both hands) and synchronized fighting with his best friend, Rivek, who he has a secret crush on (Tip: Draw them in clothing that works together!). Is brash and loud but light-hearted with very good social skills. Is also highly protective and gets emotional to the point of violence. Has Ward-mage abilities, meaning he can nullify others' magic within a certain radius. However, this power is really weak (he has to really be concentrating and stressed out to actually nullify anything, otherwise, it just hurts a little less.), so he's more reliant on his sword.
Likes: Alcohol, Dirty Jokes, Sweets.
Dislikes: Rascists, Math, Lettuce.

:bulletblue: ABOUT RIVEK:
His color scheme is blue, silver/gray, and brown (think peregrine falcons). His key feature is his scar. This is am immutable characteristic. It's on the right side of his face as seen here: [link]

:bulletblue: LOGISTICS:
1. You can do any media, digital or traditional. B/W and Color are both fine, but since this is design, the latter is preferred.
2. You can make any costume you want, from samurai to modern to his canonical armor. Feel free to play with his haircut and bodily markings, too. Please note, though, I obviously can't draw him wearing a kimono if I'm doing a story illustration.
3. Keep it in his scope of personality. No dresses, plzkthxbai.
4. Please don't change anything that's part of his genetics (eg - hair color, eye color).
5. Please credit me for the character. Again, for reference, his name is "Bohren Tabir" and mine is "Grace MingYun Fong."
6. Submit by uploading to DA and sending me a DeviantART Note. Entries will bu judged by as much design as by piece quality. Outfits should fit the character.
