Can I make a request for one of my chars? I can give a very detailed description ^_^

The following character is from the modern/realistic genre. An extended profile can be found at this page if the below one doesn't provide enough detail.

I need to return to edit this. The linked profile has all the description details. . . I need to write a personality.

:EDIT: :EDIT: :EDIT: Yup. It's been edited. Again, see the other link for extensive profile and far more information. It's something like 8 pages long printed.

Name: Tahira Ali
Age: ~61 (for when the novel concerning her takes place)
Appearance description: The description in the other profile is more of 'fact sheet' kind of description, because it follows the format of a police report. Let me see what I can add to that: Tahira Ali is a petite woman with a vacant gaze (her eyes usually seem blank and without emotion), and her grey hair is going white, and it hangs limply around her face. Um, I think I could think of more, but I don't feel like writing purple prose and I need to go again. . .
Character's personality: Tahira Ali is quiet, shy, and introspective. She is the kind of person who thinks badly of herself, but wants to be loved and accepted, and possibly forgiven, if such a thing is possible. She excels at mathematics but has a problem with words and language and expressing herself to say what she really means. She hates to hurt others.
A brief history: Born in 1950, Tahira Ali was raised by her aunt, an Evangelical Christian missionary, in an Islamic country, and was sent to a Catholic school. In August 1968, she fled her nation while a full-scale revolution against the European colonial government broke out, and began murdering people, until in December of 1968 she was the first woman added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. No one has seen her since, or at least, no one has admitted to having seen her.
Any extra information: I don't know? What kind of things are you looking for?
Format: Whatever you think is best. They all sound good to me.
Style: Realistic, dark, serious. . . that kind of tone.

I have some work I've done with this character here and here if you scroll for pics with Tahira Ali's name in the title or description, but your work by far is superior to mine. Perhaps my work can give you an idea of what I'm going for. . . but not quite achieving.

Name: None really, in the orginal story she remained nameless though many of the characters called her different names.

Age: Relative really, but she was perhaps 7-8 years of age, perhaps older.

Appearance: A dirty body covered in long ragged stitches that skillfully reconnected the white features of this once beatiful stuffed cat. The feminine clothing that of a nurse,its white torn and ragged beyond much use, while the little paws, with pink leather at each part where flesh would be, was sullied from the ground for each step.Curiously more-so underneath her back legs, suggesting the figure walks on two legs.

Her sleeves are frighteningly stained with dried red, most likely the crimson water that fills most creatures, yet this marks the dolls purpose of being a caregiver.

She carries a small pair of scissors in a tiny silken belt of white, along with several small medical containers filled with sewing thread and various knives, tiny to adapt to the small creatures front paws that mixed brown and frightening red splatters.

Her eyes are a luminous green, the matieral used in them shining brilliantly in the slightest bit of light. Small and narrow, they are never the less the product of a skilled artist, displaying infinite kindness and a warm compassion in the fading darkness of her world.

Personality: Kind, yet lacking words. The character couldn't talk in her story, so all of her scenes had to be "Acted" out. The detail of my work with her had to put alot of emphasis on body movement. Most of the time, her own thoughts (a tool I used for describing some of her actions to the reader) was often sad and thoughtful. She is generally a very belovent character, helping wherever she could.

A good example is that, being a stuffed doll, she really had no use in the story during many scenes (yet she was the main character), particularly in the area of combat, in which she would be kicked aside. However, it never stopped her from being brave, even when faced with her greatest fear, which was fire.

History: In the darkness of a twisted childs mind, among the many ruined twisted memories that made up the alternate world that lied ever so close to our own, the stuffed cat was given what reality had denied her, the very essence of being..

As she moved and saw for the first time, her existence, among the small illuminated flowers that over-ran the infinite darkness of imagination, that she was no longer touched by the loving touch of the child, she tried to carry out her duty, a innate desire to heal despite the hatred of the childs heart that made up her reality.

As such, the cat-like nurse suffered in a world where morality was only insanity, and kindness was a chest locked keep in the childs heart.

Being unable to age or die, yet not devasting in body and having no such thing as a spirit, the cat-like nurse seems to simply exist in her world, not even filled with hope...

Yet somewhere inside her, a secret wish.. she longs to be with her child... to love her and give herthe most important thing to the sanity of the young.

Happiness.

Any Extra: I submitted her for the character creation contest, and though she didn't win, I recieved some private messages that hoped that one day they could see her in art. Unfortunately, im a horrible artist, (my stick people view me as a sick goddess of creation >.>) so I never had the chance, hence my request.

Format: Personally, I think the character would look best in a simple 2d format, with a background. I belive her detail would be lost in CG (no offense meant) as well as the semi-realistic feel I wish to give her.

Style: I have no particular one, but Im hoping for a very serious picture when it comes to the character. As a artist, I feel you need as much room as possible to do that, so i'll leave you be!


Thank you very much, I hope that you decide to work on her. If you wish to do any more requests, I would be honored to have some work done for other characters as well. Please PM me if she is suitable.

-Tig, the grateful no matter what cat!

I know nothing of 3d or art! *smiles cutely to get away with her ignorance* but from what your telling me you have gotten really good at CG (and I already thought the Sophie one was pretty good!) practice makes perfect I guess. Its like when I look at my old writing and cringe >.>

Just felt I had to comment,

-Tig, the really eager to see the characters when finished cat!

Kai wrote:Just to touch base here, though... Ylanne, Tigeress, and Nyghtfang: A quick (albeit not the most exciting) update for you all. This week I am finishing up my current character request and will be starting in on yours very very soon so expect new sketches and fun stuff coming your way I know I've said it before but thank you for letting me work on these characters. I'm really looking forward to it and hope that I can do them all justice.

Thank you again Kai for all of your hard work and effort. I definitely appreciate everything you are doing!

I don't want to seem like a nag, but do you think there is a possibility to have palpable progress over the next two or three weeks or so? Right up into the New Year, that is. I'm much looking forward to seeing what you will have to share with us! I'm very excited. You are very talented, and I'm hoping that I will be so enamored with your final artwork that you will permit me to display it on my writer's website (with your name clearly credited as the artist, of course) and/or on other print or media for personal use (again, with your name clearly credited as the artist, because I too hate thieves).

Anyhow, I'll stop typing and leave you alone so you can work on our fantabulous art!

Blessings and peace,
Ylanne

Great kai! It is much obliged! Character art is hard to come by and somone so interested in the subject is rarer. Im definately riding on Ylanne's coat-tails, but thanks alot

Looking very eager towards these!

-Tig, the grateful gato!

Kai wrote:I'm glad to hear that you're so excited about it! It's giving me inspiration I've already started doing some small concept sketches and gotta say... Yours is going to be a different kind of a challenge for me, Tig. I haven't drawn animals too much in the past. Luckily I got a pet cat and a bunch of stuffed toy cats at home to reference so that will definitely help out.

Oh... Ylanne: Would it be alright if I pulled a couple of pictures from your website to use as a starting point on your character? The drawings that are titled "Tahira Ali Takes The Stand" and "Tahira Ali Testifying on the Witness Stand: Cross Examination" would be particularly useful. I don't want to stray far from your original concept so I want to reference the front view and the side profile to get the basic proportions down.

Well, I'm off to sketch some more and maybe find a book or two on cats at the library. Yay research

Stay tuned!

To be honest, I wasn't particularly thrilled about the way that either of those drawings came out, but upon taking another look (I just opened my own site in another window), both views of Ali will probably provide good guidelines for you to work with - the only thing that really makes me cringe is in the latter of the two drawings you mention, in that I think I messed up the proportions with her nose and hairline. . . because I haven't ever been really schooled in art, and I'm not exactly the best at it.

I actually have about 50 drawings drawn between October and now that I need to scan in and upload to the site, and some of them could possibly be useful too. That might happen this Sunday, or perhaps tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you again!

Kai, I love you. You are my new best friend.

I like the first one the best, the top left one. I also like the bottom center one, but I definitely like the top left one the best. The top right one I find rather dizzying, if you know what I mean.

I. Love. You.

Let me repeat: I love you.

This is like Christmas two days early for me! ....Oh wait. It is two days til Christmas. Oh yay! I am a very thrilled writer and roleplayer at this moment. You are making me beyond thrilled. A very happy child.

Thank you, thank you, thank you again! A thousand times, thank you!

Haha, this looks pretty good Kai, though she reminds me oddly of "Aya" from the game "Parasite Eve" correct me if there is no similarity

Makes me so eager to see any concepts around my kitty!

-Tig, the playing with the tinsel cat!

Haha, perhaps I didn't mean it so much as in the matter of him looking GIRLY >.< *raises hands up innocently*

YAY SKETCHES! *tackles kai* oh.. tommorow >.>.. or today rather... right... >.> sorry... But seriously, thanks for doing this Im so eager to see!

-Tig, the apparently gender confused cat!
