Drawing Your Original Characters!

[Larua1997]

I'm new to Tapas and in the mood to get to know fellow creators and their characters! Drawing other people's OC's is always a fun experience, and I end up learning so much about people's stories.

Please follow directions and thank you for reading the guidelines! Preference will be given to those who follow guidelines.

Rules:

1. For now, you can request just one OC per person so others get a chance. Open to both novel and comic folk.
2. Make sure you fill out all of the description info below! It will help me in my creation process.
3. You don't need to pay or ask permission to use the work anywhere. Once it's made, you can use it however you want!
4. There isn't really a deadline and this will be an ongoing post that ebbs and flows, though I am aiming to get about 2-3 done tonight. : ) Sometimes I will stop drawing for awhile, and then return to the post when I am feeling it. I will take breaks and come back from time to time.
5. I will be going in order for everyone who follows directions.
6. There are some character types I won't draw...anything intended to be hateful/offensive to any group, cars/vehicles/robots/transformer type things, big monster type characters (humanlike okay), characters based off existing fandoms or real people, natural animals (anthro is fine!) I am looking to draw humanlike characters including fantasy beings such as vampires, fae, goblins, elves, etc.
7. The purpose it is to better know people in the community, practice art (sometimes it helps to practice other people's characters as I tend to get set in certain looks/poses) and maybe discover some comics or novels along the way!

Description Info to Copy and Paste:

For Novel Folk-provide quick bullet point descriptions about physical traits such as height, eye/hair/skin color, hairstyle, facial hair or any accessories such as glasses/tattoos. Comic Folk can attach a picture.

Options are anime (similar to my comic below, it's kind of a 90's anime style.) chibi anime (exaggerated big-head anime), and general illustration(kind of a kidlit/Disney hybrid)
