Background Characters Needed

[PaulDevers]

Hey there! I'm in the process of drawing the next chapter of my comic, All Good Things, and I'm in a sore need of background characters. So I figure I might as well leave it up to Tapas! Anybody's welcome, and I'll honestly do as many as I can (it's a pretty crowded location). There are some rules, though:

• Look Human Enough
  • Your character needs to either be human, or look human enough to pass in a crowd.
• Be Okay With Looking Normal
  • If your character wears an outlandish outfit, they'll probably not keep that outfit here. (The comic takes place on a 1970's Earth). They may need a new outfit if applicable. If your not able to provide one, I can grab some 1970's fashion to stick them in, if possible.
• Have a Reference Image
  • If I don't know what they look like, I can't draw them.

Those are pretty much the only rules! Now, my queue of comics is pretty long, (at least a month or two), so it may be a while before your character appears in the comic proper. If you give me the character here, then I can save your name on a list and maybe notify you via the forums when the page your character appears on goes up?
Now, these aren't going to really be anything more than cameos, but I figure this is still a fun way to grab background characters.

Do you accept if the character is myself. First drawing for the face, second for the heart sweater (it says shit on the heart).

From my comic Kurt in Samara

You did know that “Smilies” and “Happy men” was invented in the 70’

So I think that “Blue” might fit in somehow

Jeremy's everyday outfit wouldn't look too out of place in the 70s, I reckon. Thanks for opportunity.

@DistortedWho @snowy
I'm okay with both of these as picks! I'll save the reference images and notify you (via an update in this forum or PM I don't quite know which) when your characters appear in the pages! I'll also add your names to the main list.
@jensrichard77
Uhhh, a little harder as Blue's lookin' a little... non-human. But I'll see if I can do something with them?

[silacinnamon]

Maybe my Rosa could work? Her design was very inspired by 60's futurism so idk it would be ok without the helmet and maybe the gloves?... but I'd be happy to make a 70's version of her outfit if you want to!!

But I'll see if I can do something with them?

Blue's real name is Paul?

[jensrichard77]

Blue's real name is Paul?

Nope. They are going to be translated into @PaulDevers style

[PaulDevers]

Okay, honestly; I like your gumption. I now plan on including Blue in the comic; probably not as a character walking around, (His design is a little minimalist now, so turning him human may lead to him being unrecognizable), but I am more than likely going to include him anyway. Probably as an ad on the side of a van, or some sort of other cameo appearance!

@silacinnamon Added!

[jensrichard77]

If you were from the 70’ you will know what this is

Blue is just... the modern version

[aqua03]

Ah, okay then.

[MaggieW]

Feel free to borrow Ahra if you want~ I'm curious to see what she looks like in your style

[PaulDevers]

@MaggieW Gotcha, added!

[imiogri]

Hello! Maybe my boy, his fashion is mostly victorian inspired but his casual outfits could work!

It's also worth noting if you add him and drawing him in a crowd, he's super tiny (4'11")

[PaulDevers]

Gotcha, little boy, will remember! Added, by the by.

[ar-ninetysix]

Not gonna put in a character, just wanna say that you could put Blue in as a comic strip, newspaper ad, TV show, billboard sign, etc.. That way, Blue would therefore still be a character in the background, js

Boop, this is Jet!

Go for it
