Finally, after three weeks of barely working, I finished Kida's character sheet. I'm still trying to figure out how to do cel shading decently.

Kida (kee-duh) should be around sixteen, but she didn't come out looking the proper age. In addition to the triangular markings on her shoulders and hips, Kida possesses similar ones on her wrists and ankles. Sadly, her daggers were supposed to be straight... As you can see, I cannot draw a straight line. :XD: It worked out. Also, her eyes are lacking an apparent pupil. I'm not quite sure at this point why, besides that it looks cool and makes shading them in difficult.

Kida's true name is unknown, considering she can't remember anything past the age of six from her childhood. Kida is the Praeklarri'en (pray-klare-ree-en) word for kid. (Kida's not even Praeklarri'en, the asshole who named her is) Supposedly, white hair and cerulean eyes are extremely rare characteristics that are a gift from Arisu (ah-ree-sue), the goddess of magic. Because of this, in addition to her heritage, Kida is rumored to have exceptional magical abilities, but this enigmatic young woman denies these rumors and claims that she is only capable of conjuring her daggers.

Just an ultra brief description of Kida. I recently noticed she's a complicated character, from her clothes to her abilities to her personality, but she has such a simple name with an even simpler meaning. I plan on doing some more character sheets.

Character sheet inspired by 's Iris' character sheet.

I was planning on a similar kind of character sheet for unicorn. But I wonder if I'll be as successful as you in pulling it off with the different views:) Btw your cel shading is really superb. You did a great job over all on the whole thing. I love your character design for Kida as I said on the line art. I love the colors and everything. It really shows you worked hard on this:) And!! It makes it easier to draw prezzie for you when i can hehe:) *huggles*

I love Kida's design, it's so cool. And the way you did the character sheet, wonderful!
:iconbeenz0:
Wow!!! Tis so cool!! O.O

I wish I could colour like this on the computer, and I want those knives ;_;
The only thing i don't understand, is what the bag-type thing is in the top left hand corner O.o

You know what? If I did digital art, I would totally do a character sheet for all of my charries. But since I don't, and since I don't know how to like...put two images on the same page in photoshop (yes, I am that digiart illiterate. It's sad, really. :( ), I don't think it'd work.

So for now I'm just going through and drawing the 20+ simple character profiles for JASEG. Although, I'm still confused as to why I didn't do Vigil and Maeve's first. They ARE the damn main characters...damn it! :XD: Oh well, the pair of them will have at least three separate profiles for the story since JASEG is over 400 pages long and the characters DO change, since it takes place over a 2 year time span. ...then there's the issue that I haven't drawn the ACTUAL JASEG versions of Vigil or Maeve in a while...>.<

Do you know how to put two separate drawings together on one sheet?

Okay, now to the actual drawing. That was the seroquel talking again. ^^;

I mean, what can I say? I love it. Since I myself have drawn Kida now (or attempted to, anyway), I rather like her. And Joseph. 'Cause he's hot. Or, at least he WAS before I tried drawing him. :D

I really wish you would write her story already. :( I like reading, damn it!!! And from what I can see, Kida's story will be fun. And Maeve understands what it's like to not have any memories. She can't remember anything before the age of 8.

Please write their story!! PLEASE!!! Your Kaia beseeches you!!

Thank you! :hug: Yes, tons of work. No one else is getting a detailed clothes design! Hopefully. :D I hope you do a character sheet for Unicorn; she's so cute. I wish you'd post some information on her!

I know how you can put two images together in one sheet. After scanning both images, you can either create a new canvas that's big enough to hold both of them and copy and paste both images in, or you can expand the canvas on one, then copy and paste the other in. Hm, hope that made sense. I can make a tutorial for you if you can't understand because I work with visuals. :XD:

My other characters develop personality-wise, but they don't change all that much in appearance. Especially Joseph. He's too damn stubborn to change his appearance. Kida, on the other hand, goes through four or five changes in the period of... well, to her it's one year but to the rest of existence it's two years.

Do you mean Kida's backstory or the story she's going to be involved in? I almost have a plot! Not quite there, though. I'm not sure if you'd enjoy a story I wrote. I can inspire and help people with their stories, write dialogue, and come up with some good stories. Unfortunately, I cannot write them properly. I am awful with words. On top of that, I'm a perfectionist, so I was writing their story once, but the first scene pissed me off so much I abandoned the whole project for two years.

Maeve and Kida, especially after she becomes an ninja-y assassin, would be an awesome duo. Together, they could rule the world. Or go on a mass murdering spree. Y'know, whichever.

I think a tutorial would be best. ^^; I'm a visual learner as well, and I have to say, I don't think I understood what you meant about copying and pasting the images.

Aa. And I understand the time fraction thing as well. My story is set in the Bermuda Triangle. :XD: Shh... don't tell anyone else!! It's a surprise that will be revealed in the second book!!! Therefor, what they identify as time is something entirely different from what we, in the "real" world experience.

But, in their time, JASEG takes place over a span of two years

As for what I meant about your story, I actually meant both. I'd like to learn more about Kida, and I can't wait until you finally decide to write your book. :D I think it will be spiffy!!

As for Kida and Maeve. Of course!! They would rock!! And then Joseph and Vigil can hang out and mumble about being slower and taller than everyone else. :XD:
