[open] free sketchy customs

Posted 1 year, 11 months ago by ishka

I need to exercise my designing muscle, which has been rotting limp and frail for quite some time during my art absence, so what better way than a no-pressure free-for-all? 

Now, they will not share the same ‘quality’ of my paid for customs and designs, as per the ‘sketchy’ in the title. That said, I shall accept the unique challenges you produce, in spite of their aesthetics, concepts and details. Spare me no mercy! I have a habit of keeping to a particular comfort zone…

Before you begin, please note:

  • Due to the nature of being free these won’t be a priority to finish, and the chances of me fulfilling every concept are slim (here’s to trying haha).
  • You are not obligated to keep the design. If the unfortunate happens (no worries, no harm should it occur), simply state so. Rejected designs will be moved into my ‘free’ folder (father folder: ‘for sale’).
  • This is not first come first serve, so please do not be offended if I take yours on later, or not at all. 

Earlier I said no matter what concept you provide, I will draw, but here are some guidelines to save you time asking

 I am okay with the following (feel free to enquire if yours aren’t here though);

  • Humanoid
  • Anthro
  • Feral
  • Monster
  • Dragon
  • Mecha
  • Artistic nudity (naked bodies for the sake of anatomy, not sexual in nature)
  • Gore/injury (do not mind the severity)

I am not okay with the following;

  • NSFW/Sexual content
  • Intricate attire and jewellery 
  • Anything politically related

With that addressed, here is a helpful form (more likely to consider yours if you use it). There is no limit to how many you can send, so go berserk!!

SPECIES: (are they human? Monster? Go as specific as you please)

ANATOMY: (what are key points to their bodily structure?)

SEX: (Describe how you envisage them, whether that be feminine, masculine or androgynous. 

KEYWORDS: (If you do not have anything to write for in the section below (details) then KEYWORDS might help. Example: smoker/aggressive/winged, and so on)

DETAILS: (If this is a character concept you have pre-existing details for, lay them here! Anything you think might help flesh them out)

ATTIRE/AESTHETIC: (It would help immensely if you provided images of clothing and aesthetic you wish for me to emulate. However, if you cannot, writing it in detail or general idea will suffice)

AVOID: (If there are attributes you do not want included in this design, name them here)

MOODBOARD: (It is important to provide a moodboard, preferably one that carries the colour scheme and key aesthetics. You can also send a separate image for colour scheme to be accurate)

EXTRA: (anything else I need to know? Go for it)


Feel free to check out my profile to gauge my previous character designs and current artistry. 

Thanks for looking! :^] I look forward to getting to practice that skill!

Aurke

SPECIES: Monster with slight anthropomorphic canid and/or snake features, but you don't really need to have a whole animalistic look, it's just an idea of some resemblance to help ground the appearance in a few ideas of form. Just go bananas with what you think, really.

ANATOMY: Multiple eyes, bipedal figure, somewhat tall form with maybe some slight musculature, and maybe have the eyes be somewhat piercing? That last part's up to your choice, really. But I hope those few traits can help!

SEX: I envision them to be more of an androgynous type of body type and structure, with no real bend towards a masculine or feminine appearance.

KEYWORDS: Outlaw / Wanderer / Polar / Sci-Fantasy / Western

DETAILS: Overall the sort of idea that this character embodies is the idea of a Sci-Fantasy character mixed with Western if it were set in a polar desert rather than your typical desert aesthetic you'd see in those types of genres. I was also thinking maybe a potential post-apocalyptic vibe if you need ideas for how to blend those genres together, because I do know it might be a bit complex of an idea. Now the reason I mention the settings and all that is mostly so as to help with giving ideas for features that something living in that climate and genre could have, allowing for you to interpret my idea as best as possible. Though otherwise I just think that the emphasis on the polar Western Outlaw theme would be a detail to take into consideration, but that's it.

ATTIRE/AESTHETIC: e4ae913c32198a7725beeffd58c84f4c.jpg keepers_of_the_void__pallid_by_rob_josep

A sort of hybridisation between the two of these outfits is sorta what I was thinking if you're to do them with all the clothes and all. Like a polar aesthetic of clothing that also has the western outlaw sort of look. Of course I don't mean to emulate the amount of detail, but these are just two pictures I thought would best fit my ideas attire-wise.

AVOID: If possible, I'd not like the design to be too flashy and colourful on its own, not accounting for the possibility of things like clothes that could make them stand out more.

Moodboard. As for colour scheme, I'm sadly not really too well-versed in ideas for that, so I'm gonna have to leave that one to you if you wish to take me up on this concept.

EXTRA: If you need any additional help with things like details, idea-bouncing, or really just anything that could help the process of doing the sketch in the event you choose my idea, I'd be elated to help! But otherwise I think that's it.

I hope you enjoyed reading this conceptual idea, I would be honoured to have you choose my idea.

PuddinPaw

SPECIES: Humanoid, mostly human with ears and a tail

ANATOMY: A normal human with some animal parts.

SEX: Androgynous, bordering masculine. 

KEYWORDS: Sunset, desert, dry, eventide

DETAILS: I'm really into locs as a hairstyle on characters nowadays, and I love characters with two or more colors in their hair. I also love when eyes have two or more colors in them.

ATTIRE/AESTHETIC: I'm not picky with clothing, as long as it's more interesting than a hoodie and pants I am happy. 

AVOID: Adding paws or fur on arms/legs, cowboy aesthetic 

MOODBOARD:

EXTRA: I'm African American, so I would love if this character was black ^^ Please interpret anything I said however you want, I love a good surprise. 

Thank you much for the opportunity 🙏🏾 ❤ 

SilverSpade

SPECIES: Lovecraftian Hodag

ANATOMY: Mist / Obscured features, like in the face or around the body (follows the entity). Possibly dark like ashes or tainted mist.
Quadrupedal with Horns (bull-like), Downward Tusks, Long, Thick Claws, and thick Spines going all along the creature's back. Front facing eyes that, if not for the glow, would be completely obscured in the mist surrounding its head. Has opposable thumbs. May have eyes on other parts of the body as well, though not places that could easily be damaged.

SEX: Androgynous

KEYWORDS: Vengeful, Justicar

DETAILS: This creature was born of the cremated remains of animals, mostly farm animals, abused at the hands of people. This creature is known to come down and confront animal keepers, trainers, or workers who harm or mistreat animals to the point of sending off distress signals. It will run people away from animals, set captured animals and animal people free, and will fight people who do not back down. These creatures can lose themselves from extreme hunger or some other corrupting stimulus. They are considered monsters by the general populace, though few actually understand them.

ATTIRE/AESTHETIC: (It would help immensely if you provided images of clothing and aesthetic you wish for me to emulate. However, if you cannot, writing it in detail or general idea will suffice)

AVOID: Super Sleek or Super Bulky designs. I also don't want it to look small, nor super big.

MOODBOARD: Here is my usual spooky monster moodboard.

EXTRA: The creature will be used as a monster in my D&D games, and as a lesser deity or guardian beast in my stories.
