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."

"Who...are you?" Lily said, her voice barely a whisper. She hadn't seen a being like this before - the serene white wings stirred both feelings of fear and tranquility in her. The being was slender, and somewhat effeminate looking, but most certainly a humanoid like her. They hovered a few inches from the ground, making them tower over her. Lily wanted to shrink back, but found herself frozen. Their hair was beautiful, the colour of a gentle blue sky - a shade not far off her own - and decorated with an array of beautiful flowers. Their face, gentle and pale, looked down on her with a smile, and warm, blue eyes. They seemed open and inviting in their body language, as if urging her to come forward and talk to them. Clearly, this being meant her no harm.

"...What the hell?" Peter muttered as he glanced at Ronan. Staring at his features and the green glow his body emitted, Peter wondered whether or not he was hallucinating. He had never seen anyone like him before - the green lines marked across his pale blue skin stood out to him the most. Similar green markings were lined around his black hair and added to the soft glow around him. Peter also noticed his black body suit. It was accented with the same shade of green seen throughout his body. "It suits him," Peter thought as he chuckled at his own pun.
"You aren't from around here, are you?"
Caesar frowns. Not to say that his expressions were made up of anything other than some kind of grimace, but it was particularly the man in front of him that had the king's lips pursed. He certainly wasn't used to running into people of Peter's caliber, per se. His fashion sense was certainly new to him- it was, after all, what Caesar's eyes were drawn to in the first place. He wore simple clothes- ones Caesar hadn't seen before, but simple nonetheless. Some kind of gray jacket, denim pants, that was all. He seemed a simple man, Caesar thought, setting his eyes upon the man's face.
He certainly wasn't ugly. Caesar wasn't attracted to many, but he could find a distant admiration in Peter's features. He had sharp features- surely a trait attributed to his distinctly refined jawline. With it, was stubble- certainly nowhere close to a beard, but not peach fuzz. He had a florid complexion- light skin, making it painfully evident to see the flush on his hollow cheeks. Caesar folds his arms- the man had gorgeous, green eyes, certainly- the deep kind of hue that he quite liked. He pauses, though, made curious by the bags that hung under the young man's eyes.
The man was tall- not as Caesar, naturally, but tall enough for Caesar to certainly recognize it. He was a man of stocky build, certainly well-accompanied by his muscles. He notices the unkempt nature of his hair, and can't help but scoff.
No matter. The king was used to this, picking out the details in people. It was something he was used to doing himself. Blinking, he finally shifts his judgmental gaze from Peter. He speaks- his voice icy cold, "Get out of my way."
(ahdsfdsfsd just a note i describe peter's clothes like that because caesar has Never seen a hoodie and the man has No fucking idea what jeans are LMAO)
