(Deadline: May 31st)
I'm doing a DTIYS art challenge for "Damsel in the Red Dress" to celebrate 100 subs!
The rules are simple:
Draw either Kattar OR Alicia in your style. You can submit as many times as you want, and you can draw either or both of them.
Share your DITYS on the Tapas forum or on your Instagram, tagging me ("leyellethecreator") and using the #damselinthereddressdtiys
No AI art allowed and all the drawings should be safe for work. If your entry isn't safe for work I can't and won't include it.
Please keep in mind the character's ethnicities and descriptions when drawing them (I.e. Please do not change their features/hair textures or remove their melanin) but have fun with the hairstyles and outfits. They don't have to match the ones they've used before in the novel. (And with Alicia's wacky fashion sense, you could pretty much make her wear anything, but Kattar wants you to know he will not appreciate it if you put him in plaid.)
Two winners will be selected. One for a drawing of Kattar, and one for a drawing of Alicia.
And now for the incentives (one of which has to be weird, because, you know me.)
- All entries will be shared on my IG and at the end of a bonus episode of the story, tagging/mentioning the creator.
And the quirky one (because I have to be weird.)
- The two winners will actually be written INTO the bonus episode. Yes, I'm going to make you into characters that interact with Kattar and/or Alicia, and will be relevant to a chapter. I think it'll be fun, so I'm really looking forward to the challenge lol. Don't worry, I won't make you evil (unless you want to be.)
So if that sounds fun to you, you can submit using any of the methods listed above.
I hope we get a lot of entries, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge of writing the readers into the story, (and no longer having the right to say "any resemblance these characters bear to people living or dead are completely coincidental.")
Character Descriptions:
Alicia is 4'9, with dark brown, curly (but not kinky) hair. It's closer to loose ringlets (something like large curls in the 3A-3B texture (Using Cosmopolitan as the point of reference, since nobody seems to be able to agree on anything) And her hair reaches nearly to her knees. She has a cinnamon brown complexion, and is rather hourglass shaped, with the exception that her waist is a bit on the thicker side, so it doesn't taper a lot.
She also has pretty thick and dark eyebrows, very thick eyelashes, and rather large dark ambery brown eyes.
(She considers herself to look like a curvy American Girl doll, so that probably gives you a pretty clear impression lol) She also has pretty full lips, and a round nose.
Post accident, she has a scar on the back of one shoulder that spreads toward the middle of her back, and a few scars on the back of her legs as well. (It's your choice whether you draw her pre or post-accident.)
Kattar is 5'9 standing upright, but because of his paralysis, he can't stand all the way upright easily, so he usually doesn't. (Again, your choice whether you draw him pre-or post accident.) His natural build is on the thinner side, even with muscle, with fairly long legs for his height, and his face is on the rounder side as well. Alicia regularly refers to him as being pretty or beautiful, and while he doesn't look like a girl, he is very pretty for a boy.
Pre-accident, he had his hair dyed chestnut brown, and it was long but not quite shoulder length. Post accident, his hair has grown out in it's original color (black) and reaches past his shoulder blades. He has very slanted black eyes and a monolid, thick eyebrows, and the complexion of peanut butter frosting, which tends to have a slightly golden-y tint to it when he's been getting sunshine (which he hasn't in ages.) His hair texture has just the slightest amount of waves (2A texture.) He has a pretty sharp nose as well.
If you have any other questions on design details just let me know. I'm happy to answer them XD.
Edit: for what it's worth, Kattar is super "hot"/"sexy" however that can be defined lol. I also forgot to mention that while he's pretty thin, pre-accident he had a fair amount of muscle. He wasn't jacked or shredded by any means, but he had pretty well defined arms and a broad back because he hit the gym. A good portion of that muscle he's lost now tho.
Alicia is also pretty hot/sexy too (hot hot mess is her representative aesthetic) XD. She's on the softer side, but not touching chubby yet. She doesn't really have any visible muscle, and no part of her frame is really firm.

I literally haven't taken an art class since I was in elementary school so it's been a while. I picked up painting almost 2 years ago and yet still cannot draw much more than a stick figure. I typically paint scenery like houses, trees, and flowers. I just find them easier than trying to create an accurate represenation of a person. Maybe this will be my incentive to learn how to actually draw a person
But I still don't plan to let it stop me, I've just been putting my painting and art stuff on hold since I'm busy with school and my novels atm. I'm hoping that I'll be able to focus on my hobbies a bit more after I finish with finals
