MP Comic Jam Character Thread

Writing Joamette Gil - Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 02:09

It would seem that no one has e-mailed me their character descriptions yet for the Comic Jam characters. Those involved know who they are. If sending an e-mail is too cumbersome, I'll open up this option here: reply to this post with a detailed description of what you want your character to look out. Make sure to mention any particulars you really want such as a certain hair color, outfit, or weapon and what-not. Post your own preliminary sketches if you have any. They are not required.

Let's get this ball rolling, people! =)

I've had a tad bit of work

Neila; Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 02:18

I've had a tad bit of work to get people communicating about the actual writing process. *shrug* Slow week I suppose.

I'm going to make a new character for this and use it as practice on my character creation ^_^ And I'll do my best to crank out some sketches tomarrow, unfortunately my brain isnt exactly cooperating with me at the moment when I try to formulate ideas. x_x I'll do my best to have some sketches and written descriptions by Friday's End. Sorry for the delay.

Basically I want my character to look like a wolf. Probably larger than normal and it can talk....so maybe it should be wearing a necklace or something to make it seem more human? I don't know...I'm not to particular.

Reiko Kitsune; Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 19:59

I'm working on a character sketch, it should be done today or tomorrow, but its just a quick thing and can is just concept art.

The only definite things about my character I want is overly large black fox ears and a long black fox tail, and black hair, those are the only specifics right now.

I'll post the art when its done.

I've never has a heart, Never know love.

Yet you expect me to care, to care about you.

Now you're staring at me, You stare at me as your love fades to grey.

The mummy...

quamp; Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 23:23

Well, I guess I should describe the mummy here.
He's been there, done that. At age 3,502 years, he's seen it all. He thinks he knows everything, and knows everything's bad. He's bitter, cyunical, and loves to scare people with the truth.
Physically, he's about 6 feet tall, and wrapped in dirty white bandages.

About the only good interaction I could come up for him was this:

Mummy: You wanna see something really scary? Take a look at these bios for the candidates in the upcoming elections.

(A kid reads some of the stuff.)

Kid: Why is washing money bad?
Mummy: No, no. That's money laundering. It's very bad.

Sketchies, horrible sketchies

Caramel; Friday, September 22, 2006 - 22:47

zombiekittykat's beetle. I decided I HAD to use colored pencils...

Early sketch of kilijoy's cat. But you said you wanted the bandages to be on the left, right?

I was bored, and I doodled this in Social Studies and Science. Me badddd...I first thought of Grim Reapers, then drew someone with a cloak like the Reaper's, then drew this. It's a bedsheet, though. The first two are black because I wasn't thinking, and ghosts should be white. Anyway, this is a lot better than my original idea.

More to come soon!

Anywho, she's got her work uniform, small paper hat, glasses, blondish hair that's long and stringy and shoved in a hairnet yet it sticks out of it alot. She's a girl, but could be mistaken for a guy (IE Small Bust).
Sorry I'm terrible at describing things/people. This week has been draining on my brain.

Lexy's picture

Meeps!

Lexy; Monday, September 25, 2006 - 16:17

Bit slow on the uptake, but here's the general description of my character:

PHYSICAL
-Tall if in normal form; 5'10" or so.
-Impish when flying; think chibi.
-Long hair. Red.
-Green eyes. Almond shaped.
-Heavy makeup. (Doesn't show up in chibi/flying style)
-Has wings when in normal form, but only for decoration. They'd be small.
-Horns, obviously. :P
-Pointy tail thing that all the devils seem to have.
Think: ============>
-Carries a pitchfork and a T-Mobile Sidekick.
-Wears a red bodysuit-type thing and boots.
-Pointy ears/feet.
-Long limbs. (Obviously not in chibi/flying style)
-Pointy canines.

PERSONALITY
Haughty. Brown-noser to her boss. Narcissistic. Meddling. Easily aggravated/distracted.

Narf. That's not very good... I'll have some sketches up soon so you can get a better idea. I just have to wait until I'm "legally" allowed on the computer. >.> *grounded*

Kez, make sure the writers know about your character over in the main Comic Jam thread and the writing thread. This is the first I've heard of her so she's not in the script yet...
What sort of problem are you having getting the sketch on the thread? Photobucket's good for image hosting for forums, and the tags for posting images here are [ img ] url goes here [/img] only without all the spaces... I think x_x I might have it wrong

More doodles...I did some changes in killijoy's character. I'm not sure wheter beetles in flight look like that, but it looks okay. Yeah, my handwriting sucks. DX Kilijoy's talking to her eyeball. She says "And where have YOU been?" and the eyeball replies,"Whaaat?" in the kind of tone a person uses when they complain about stuff.

I wanna make it look like they are students there, or are at least teachers.

If you agree to let me use our character in the picture, I'll also let you have a say in what they're doing, weather it be something like tossing a football around or useing the vending machines, whatever.
