Well Galvestone's design is mostly blacks and reds, he has long and dark red hair which are so pretty tbh! They are basically below knee lenght :> He also has big red eyes with long lashes and his irises are well, not really human like, they kinda look more reptilian like tbh! Also he smiles a lot and has sharp and red teeth xD He mostly wears black elegant clothes! He wears well, it's not really a top hat but something similar but I just don't know the specific name but yeah that one xd And what's cool is that the hat doesn't cover his little horns because I love how they look and fit his design so well! Also he wears a very elegant suit, or tuxedo! Sometimes he also wears a black cloak too!
This is a bit of an experimental thread and I'm not sure if people will be interested in it, but it sounded fun so let's see how it goes!
You most likely have a vision of how you see your OCs which might strongly differ from others' vision of your characters. Some things that are obvious to you may not be obvious to others, and vice versa, so seeing what others notice most about your character can be an interesting read.
In this thread, you write a description of another person's character in your own style and vision.
Rules and guidelines
▶︎ Claim IC as the OC you'd like described before editing your post! That way you don't get ninja'd.
▶︎ Stay civil, don't insult the character or go beyond playful joking and IC judgment.
▶︎ Only use characters who have at least knee-up artwork! You can specify if only some artwork in their gallery is to be used for the description and to add design notes in your claim.
▶︎ I hate imposing minimums, but please write at least four sentences, preferably at least a decent paragraph. You can go all in and write as much as you wish for the upper limit.
▶︎ Up to you if you write something down to earth, something more literary, or a mix. You can even make your OC describe them!
▶︎ Posting in this thread gives the person you're writing for permission to use your description, if clearly credited.
▶︎ You can structure your description however you wish, no guidelines. But if you don't know what to write, here are some ideas:
▸Body: age; height, weight, and their relation to the character's fat and muscle distribution; shoulder, chest, waist, and hip ratio; notable scars, freckles, tattoos, and markings; body hair and/or fur; bodily health and cleanliness; extra or missing appendages; other notable features; poses, posture, and the story they tell through them.
▸Face: details about the nose (length, bridge, tip); eyes (shape, colours); jawline; mouth and teeth; facial hair and (eye)brows; ears; facial markings and tattoos; jewellery and piercings; resting and prominent expressions and demeanour you can tell from their art as well as the personality and attitude it radiates
▸Hair: style, colour, length, texture, highlights, cleanliness, care taken for it.
▸Clothing: prominent pieces of clothing worn; layers that are visibly worn above each other; fashion style and time period; personal style intertwined into it; weather they're dressed for; class; care for looks.
▸Other things: magic used; special objects they have with them; special effects like a glitch.
Some examples
(Using my guy Florence for the examples)
Down to earth description
"This man - named Florence, I've heard - is a small athletic built demon. He dresses for the cold, meaning that above his green wool shirt with olive markings, his green wool trousers, and that light brown battleskirt he wears around the waist, he also wears some equally thick pieces. A long sleeved shirt, the body is dark green and the sleeves are a lighter green in colour; a sturdy black leather tunic, its elegance coming from the horizontal layers of the leather and the metal parts that decorate the shoulders of the piece as well as the two insignias on the chest area; a dark green wool overshirt over the leather, and a thick cloak draped over his shoulders.
What is most notable about him isn't his clothing, but his face and his actions. He looks a bit older thanks to his goatee and prominent bags under his emerald eyes, but his round face looks more fitting for a younger teen. Long brown hair that's well taken care of partially covers his pointed ears, which together with his short black horns and a tail that ends in an arrowhead gives away his species. Should he take off his many layers, it'd be visible that he has well built arms and shoulders."
Literary description
"In front of me I see a young demon with a worn out face and a lot of layers to his clothing. Looks like he just got out of a blizzard, but I don't remember it being that cold outside. He must be tired judging by the bags under his green eyes and the slight annoyance to the tone of his voice. He keeps on his cloak despite being inside. Combined with his chestpiece, his overshirt, the pelt wrapped around his waist, those green wool trousers, and the thick leather boots, he looks like he's not far away from a heat stroke.
He looks rich, a little pretentious, judging from the leather and metal composition of the chestpiece under his cloak and overshirt that he refuses to take off. I've seen him pass a ball of light between both gloved hands in his time I've been observing him. He doesn't seem all too scared to use forbidden magic, and despite his height he stands proud and mighty, like he's above anyone he meets here."
