*shrug* I still think they look great! These are just making me more excited to see mine. ;)
Kitty? What's your opinion?

Kitty? What's your opinion?
Hi! So I've recently had a lot of work and I get the feeling that this weekend I'm going to want to just sketch for a bit to unwind, especially since it's a long weekend.
Ergo, free sketches! Or more specifically, headshot sketches, I suppose? Haha. . .
Some notes:
• I'm better at humanoids, though I can definitely give something more animalistic a shot. . .?
• Max of two characters per person!
• Depending on how I feel/how many requests I get it may or may not have some color slapped on, or some watercolor (because I've been trying to practice that).
• Because I don't want to be totally swamped, it would be cool to reply before tomorrow eveningish, say. . .3 or 4 PM EST? So approximately 3:30 PM EST on Friday, October 9th. 8)
If you want one, please supply me with either a pretty detailed written description or a reference image! Otherwise I will make it up or just skip it entirely, haha.
If I don't get a lot, you can probably expect most of them by Sunday afternoon; otherwise it'll probably be Monday, and if not then, then next weekend. Whatever the case, I'll definitely get to everyone's!
Here are examples, if you want an idea of what my style is like!
8)
So go forth and request!
Thanks so much to everyone who requested, and also thanks for any compliments!! I'm probably gonna cap it off here, though if you happen to see this thread tomorrow and reeeaaaally want one, it's no big deal.
Woohoo!
To start: posting! What I will probably do is a lot on one page, so when I finish all of them I'll comment on this thread with a higher quality scan so you can crop and use what you please. However, so you don't have to wait for me to finish all of them, I'm going to reply specifically to your comment with a lower quality iPod photo so you can at least see them as I finish them.
On reposting: you can basically do whatever you want with them! Websites, PPC wiki, etc., etc., are all fair game. I just ask that you don't somehow make money off of them (I doubt I'd have any trouble with that, but better safe than sorry) and some form of credit wherever you use it would be nice!
That's all! Thanks again!!
I am a sucker for fanart. I'm gonna have to put a gallery on my website at some point...
Anyway, my requests:
1. Human!Ilraen. I've only done one picture of him myself, and it's not very accurate. Also, I haven't managed to cobble together a decent description of his face in one place yet, which doesn't help. Lemme see... He should look like a combination of Jenni(1) (2), Nume(1) (2), and Ginger. Details I've bothered to mention in text: androgynous, large green eyes, fluffy ginger hair, thin mouth, willowy, but with filled-out chest and shoulders.
2. Henry Robinson. He's five and is the Mpreg baby of Harry Potter by Severus Snape. He's not the best-looking kid—I imagine he's got kind of a long, thin face even at this age, and I dunno what age the nose will really come in, but that's something he has to look forward to. He's fairly happy, though, which helps. He also has green eyes, which has nothing to do with genetics. His hair is black, and I don't have a solid idea of the style, just that it's thin and therefore difficult to control and prone to static.
Thank you!

...wait, what?
If it's not too late, I'd like to request a mugshot of Harris Frost and Tomoko Kogi of the DoI. Since neither of them have a proper wiki page to themselves (though Harris has a TekTek avatar on the Wiki), I'll just post a description of them here.
Harris Frost
Caucasian male, blond hair, mop-top haircut (think Beatles). Brown eyes, button nose. Normal build. He's got a baby-face, thus making him look like a young teenager when he actually is 19. Usually wears white dress shirts with a black vest, black necktie, and black trousers.
Tomoko Kogi
Japanese female, shoulder-length black hair with straight bangs, usually worn in a ponytail. 20 years old. Brown eyes, normal nose. Athletic build and quite tall to boot: 1.8 metres (about 6'). Her face almost always has a grin plastered onto it. Exclusively wears black t-shirts and black jeans/sweatpants (depending if she's going to hit the gym or not).
Thanks in advance!
(I hope SOMEONE gets that reference!)
Well, I hope it's not too late for me to give a request, being that it's October 10 as I type this.
Either way, allow me to break the pattern of PPC-Agent requests; I would like a drawing of one of the characters from my Pokemon/Bakugan crossover, please.
Here is a description:
Princess Regent Xenia looked younger than her forty-three years. She was fair-skinned, with blue eyes and flowing cyan hair that reached halfway down her back. A pair of rope braids went around the sides of her head. She was five-foot-nine and currently wore an elegant cyan dress over a golden bodice. The dress had flecks of silver in it that sparkled in the sunlight, matching the silver tiara on her head.
To give some points of reference, she is supposed to be the sister of King Zenoheld, (the figure in the center of this picture and the aunt of Prince Hydron (the figure on the left).
I'm putting in a request for Rina and future partner Zeb! Rina's description is on the Wiki (http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Rina_Dives), but Zeb is not. Obviously. Aaand I'm rambling. Shut up, me.
Okay! Zeb, in human form, is about a head taller than Rina, though he looks even taller because his dark blue hair is so spiked up. Think like a Luxray from Pokémon. He wears a black leather jacket, unzipped over a yellow t-shirt, with the DMS flash patch on the jacket's right shoulder. He's very slender and gangly. His skin resembles that of an Asian/Caucasian mix and his eyes are an orangeish-yellow.
*sits back with a silly grin to wait*
(What? All the cool kids were saying it)
I may be fairly predictable, but... can you do Kaitlyn and Selene? They both have pictures on their bios, but here's a few extra notes:
-Kaitlyn is based on the same person as Constance, (ie, Boarder!Kaitlyn), so you can use the Constance picture as an extra reference. She's rather more cheerful, though. And shorter, though I doubt that'll get into headshots... and her hair tends to curl. Actually, this might be the best 'Kaitlyn' reference (other than her bio picture).
-Selene is... basically that image, except that image is rubbish. So's her other picture. Um. The picture of Serenity on there is pretty good, though Selene tends more towards 'black leather coat' than corsetry.
Basically, she's a tall, thin Chinese woman with long, straight black hair. Since she's a vampire, she has mildly pointed canines, and a red hint to her eyes (which can just be plain red if you like, and if you're colouring). She currently has a steampunk device on the left side of her face, described as 'a tangle of copper pipes and brass cogs', that makes her look kind of like a Steampunk Borg.
Did that make any sense? I really need to make Sel a proper bio image one of these days...
And: I like your style. It's giving me a definite Art Nouveau feel, with the curves and naturalistic shapes - the agents' hair, the framing on the colour image. Nice stuff.
hS
You linked real-life pictures of people they were inspired by so I went a little more towards realism with these! So much fun. To be quite honest, I didn't see the steampunk device thing until just now, when I was typing this up, so I attempted to add it with colored pencil. . . and then realized that I put it on the wrong side of her face. Whoops.
So here's the I Tried image:
Comparing my art to Art Nouveau was the highest compliment you could pay, honestly- I LOVE that style and I've probably been trying to emulate it subconsciously for ages now, so thank you so much!!!
I hope you like!
I particularly like Kaitlyn; that's definitely going on her Wiki page. Selene I like... pretty much except for her mouth; I'm not sure what's bothering me about it, though. Possibly the fact that she seems to be poking her tongue out? I'm guessing that's blood on her teeth? I really like her hair - though I still prefer Kaitlyn's. ;)
I know it's been a few days since you posted these; I only checked now because I remembered that I'd not seen any. If you get the rest of the requests done, you might be best to post them in a new thread.
And: thanks!

Could you draw Kitty and Kay?
There's a picture for each of them at the beginning of their profiles...
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qnQtt78iOx7X4LzvF-jP9HQJgAyWsiMRJtZbo-56ioQ/edit?usp=sharing
Kay came out a lil funny looking? I don't know why. I might redo that one.
Thanks for requesting!
The rather blue shadows? Or... hm. I was thinking it's pretty low-contrast, and Kay seems to have light eyes, but that side of the image is a bit darker than the other, so that might be messing with it. ... Also, my laptop screen is pretty terrible, so I shouldn't even try to comment on issues of color from here. >.>
Could be that the features are a bit pinched, though?
Anyway, I don't mean to pick on you. I like your work, and as someone else said, I'm looking forward to seeing my characters. I know I'm last in line, and I shall be patient. ^_^
~Neshomeh, who has zero—actually, make that negative room to complain about waiting for art. >.>
*shrug* I still think they look great! These are just making me more excited to see mine. ;)
Kitty? What's your opinion?
Very nice. I'm resisting the urge to use too many smilies right now.
Can you please draw Agent!Des and the Librarian?
You can find a description of the Librarian at the beginning of this mission and a description and a sketch of him here in the wiki; Des is described in his page. He's also described thus (from an elf's point of view):
That someone was human, male, and slightly shorter than the 1.8-metres tall elf. He sported a messy, if short, reddish-brown goatee and moustache and short brown hair, and was currently wearing black pants with lots of pockets and a green shirt. He had some weird thing on his face – a thin frame that held two pieces of glass near his eyes.
This is still happening! Everything happened All At Once and it was terrible and awful.
I have prelim sketches and some basic watercolor down for most of them and I'll slowly be putting up the finished ones! Better late than never, I suppose, haha. . .!
So! Desdendelle! I. . . could not find a description of the Librarian's colors? So I took this opportunity to practice grayscale. Whoops.
Both photos are slightly tilted and the lighting isn't the best; sorry about that. I'll be putting up higher quality ones when I'm done with all of them. u______u; This is just kind of a glimpse, I guess?
But thank you so much for requesting!!!
The best I'm able to do is cartoons. I can't comment on how well they match Des' idea of what they look like, but they look spot-on to my headcanon. ;)
Also, I think this is the second 'Rats does art' post where I've missed my chance to actually request art. I should check the Board more frequently.
(Holidays and school, though. Oh well. Maybe next time :) This is definitely inspiring me to do some watercolor, though.)
~DF
I have no idea when the first might have been. Whoops.
Fear not, more will occur in the future, probably over my own school breaks, haha!
Watercolors are tricky. But fun! Glad to inspire!
It's entirely possible that the first was someone else; I could easily have seen two similar art posts spaced a ways apart and just assumed that since you did this one you also did the first one. Come to think of it, the drawing style was kind of different. Oh well.
Glad to hear there will be more! In the meantime, I'll continue my own (very slow) attempts at drawing my own characters...
Watercolors, though. Haven't tried using them for portraits in ages. I think it could be fun, though; it was definitely fun the last time!
