Need help with creating a character.

Postby Uriah » Thu Jun 03, 2004 6:31 pm

(Not sure where this should be)

I'm trying to figure out how to design his head, to be more precise. I can't figure out what kind of hair do to give him, the eyes, shape of the face, ect.

I'll describe the character. His allignment (Good, evil, neutral, ect.) Is like a chaotic good, (not chaotic in a crazy sense, he's a hero that doesnt care about killing evil people, sort of a silent, angry, vengeful person.) He isnt necessarily a cruel person, just hateful.

the rest of his appearance, he wears a black trench coat that reaches his feet, he's sort of tall, slender, graceful in movement. His weapons of choice are, 4 revolvers, 2 fighting knives, and 3 throwing knives.

Not sure if this is a very good discription, but could anyone maybe help me out here?

From ur description I picture I sort of triangular head. Larger at top with a narrow chin. Thin horizontal eyes with a "Dont mess with me" look. Black hair gelled into a side shade.

Is that any help?

i would just do a normal shape head like whatever shape you like to do. small eyes i agree with Skynes about the "don't mess with me" look. i say he should have long hair. maybe look kind of like this guy(look at picture)..maybe he looks too evil hmm when Kenshin is serious he looks like you wouldn't want to mess with him.

That's kind of funny, skynes, I was thinking sorta the same thing, I know I want black hair, I was thinking of something Like legato's hair cut.

These tips were a bit helpful, thanks.

Heh, the whole legato hair idea would make this character look sort of like he was from trigun. But I don't really see how else this would relate to trigun.

If you don't mind my odd style, I'd draw him as I see him for you and post it in the gallery. I see him with longer hair though, kinda like Eclipse from Demon Diary only his bangs cover one eye. Want a visual?

I'd go with Legato's hair, only black and longer than Legato's, about to the bottom of his face. Perhaps consider having his hair long in the back, about 6 inches below the shoulder. I'd go with vivid red eyes, perhaps concealed with silver mirrored sunglasses at times. A long, crimson headband or scarf would look awesome with the trenchcoat. Black leather half-finger gloves would complement his choice of weaponry well.
