You know what? Forget my previous statements about needing a certain style and full figure.
Am I still in time to request my Agents?
Kinda bored. Kinda artsy. Need the practice. So, I thought to myself "Why not ask the good people at the PPC?". And thus, here I am opening myself (hopefully unregrettably) to no colour bust requests of their own OCs and what not.
Anyone wanting?
I think I can scrape together a description or two :) If you're still taking requests, that is.
If that's the case, I'll happily take a picture of either (or any) of the following:
Agent Bookworm: Male, thick glasses, often looks menacing (sometimes unintentionally). 5’4”. He looks like a teenager, as in, just over twelve years old, although he claims to be fourteen or fifteen. Spiky blond hair, brown eyes. Carries Klingon weaponry and a trophy--a Sue’s sparkly, urple bag.
Agents Naergondir and Gurnirel: Both are Tolkien Elves, so very tall, leaf-shaped ears, and very similar in build. Naergondir is male and has dark hair and grey eyes; Gurnirel is female, and has golden hair and grey eyes (so sue me, every Tolkien Elf has grey eyes. What can you do.) They both probably wear tunics or warriors' gear of some sort. They're very close, although not romantically, and are often (but not always) found looking rather sad. Both probably have long hair, with various braids in it.
I'm very much enjoying the sketches you've been posting (and will now continue to look through them!) Keep up the good work! :)

But could you draw James (Agent Apollo) pre-PPC days, his 'costume' is described here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PLF4LTW0BqfmJdqqm8s33rwyqybsAEMts5gDKLTloms/edit?usp=sharing
with a quiver on his back (because I partially forgot about it when I wrote the scene).
Thanks

...I'm merely fashionably delayed.
If you've still got the time and inclination, I would humbly request a drawing of the boundlessly energetic Rachel Calendar. She enjoys coffee, well-written slash fiction, and high explosives.
MORE COFFEE!
She looks suitably gleeful, not to mention suitably caffeinated. Thank you very much!
I'm a glutton for fanart, so if you don't have too many requests at this point, I'm in. ^^
I think I'd particularly like one of <a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/JenniferRobinson#Appearance">Jenni and Henry Robinson together, 'cause I haven't done one of Henry yet. You can find my most recent drawings of Jenni here, though.
If you feel like taking a crack at my other agents, go for it—Ilraen is an Andalite and Derik has some extensive facial scarring that might be fun if you're looking to stretch yourself—but I won't be greedy.

Here ya go~
Heh, you do like drawing them on the larger side, don't you? It's an interesting take. I kinda wish you hadn't gotten to it so quickly, though—I hadn't realized you have a preference for verbal references over visual, and I could have given you a lot more detail than what's in the wiki articles. Alas.
*gleefully adds pic to her collection*

This is Dafydd Illian. He could be described as tall, thin, with long black hair and pointy ears. Grey eyes, and if you happen to get down that far, he has no right hand. These days he tends to wear light-coloured open-collar shirts with a tunic underneath, simply because he can (being long since retired). He also has a miniature bronze-coloured dragon who sometimes perches on his shoulder, but I doubt you want to draw that. ;)

Enjoy!
On the plus side, the vast majority of the picture is really good. I like the hair, and I'm really impressed by the way you've defined his clothes in just a couple of lines. I also think little Ilwion on his shoulder is absolutely adorable.
But... well, for one, that ear terrifies the life out of me. I'm not sure why - I think it looks a bit too 'spidery' for me. It's scary, either way.
And his face... again, I don't know why it bothers me. There's nothing I can point to and say 'that, right there, is totally wrong'. Just the whole overall effect... I don't know. I think it might be that the mouth looks like it's a 3/4 shot, while the nose and eye say it's a profile. Playing around a bit in Paintshop, I think you might also have his eye a little high up, or a little large, or possibly both.
But like I say, that's really impressive! And the simple detailling on the clothes has me entirely stunned.

I'd like to request a picture of Gaspard.
His TekTek avatar is a pretty good cartoon representation of him and there should be a decent description of him on his page. I'm not too sure if it matters or not, but I'd just like to add that he's of mixed ancestry: his mother is Caucasian and his father is Chinese.
Nope, totally not Matt Smith. Enjoy!
He looks exactly as I imagined him. Hats off to you!
Now that you mention it, he does share some similarities with Matt Smith...
You know what? Forget my previous statements about needing a certain style and full figure.
Am I still in time to request my Agents?
But please understand that I can't do just any styles
And no, you're not late, but some simple text description is good enough for me, guy/gal/bot.
I'll take a picture. I need an update of Marco for an RP profile.
Best I could do; I picture this look but clean shaven with brown eyes and looking to be about 18-20. As for clothes a black T-shirt with the Floater's flash-patch and blue jeans.
If you do hands put a Scorpion tattoo on the top of the left hand as well.
One, a written ref would've been nicer, and
Two, busts don't go beyond the chest.
What you have there is essentially what a bust is.
But
Here ya go.
It's what I'm used to when I hear Ref actually. A long time friend of mine is actually a professional artist and tends to use pictures for basic looks and poses. So it's kinda my fault I could adapt the pic though; looks wise say that he lost his good looks when he joined the PPC
Y'know, I've needed a headshot of my character Zerenze for some time.
So yeah, I'll go ahead and ask for one.
So essentially, Zerenze is a Sangheili from the Halo canon. So here are some references:
Sorry for the multiple references. I figure that with a design like the one the sangheili have, you'd need quite a few references.
Don't worry about the armor in the second reference: essentially, I just want this Sangheili done up in little more than a shirt. (Since it's a bust, I'm assuming it won't go below the chest, so...) Zerenze is more of a techie type with a bit of a personality that isn't usual for a Sangheili, so I think for the facial expression you could go with that. Or something.
I hope that strikes up your muse!
Not really, I don't think. Aside from his posture, I can't really think of any personal details that should be mentioned that'll apply to a black and white image, so...
As much as you really want that bust, I'm afraid this is rather out of my league. Sorry.
And hey, I appreciate the honesty. Thanks anyway.
I don't know if you are familiar with the comic Homestuck, but if your aren't, here is a link to the particular species I would like you to draw.
http://viria13.deviantart.com/art/Homestuck-trolls-346627056
As for my agent: Short cropped black hair, Small, thin frame, Female. Usual PPC uniform, DoF, streamlined horns, ( think Loki's shrunken and turned upside down, or Ava's Demon style :http://www.avasdemon.com/pages.php?page=0002 (she'd be the one on the left))
Thanks for offering, and I hope I didn't make it too hard.
And now she's just troll.
Someone who can write and draw. I can do neither.
As for the topic...I don't think I have any agents.
But I've been drawing for years, and I'm not sure if that natural talent or just trained.
If you need assistance in drawing them, feel free to message me. Since Nano is finished now, I can scratch my drawing itch again.
I mean, I have rather a lot written, and could probably put some descriptions together, but...it's kind of exam time.
Some other time, perhaps (that is, if you're still doing this sometime in the future when I have no exams)? This sounds pretty awesome :)
Good luck! And have fun.
~DF
That would be awesome, thanks. :) You can see who my characters are on my userpage. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/User:EileenAlphabet Two of them are anthropomorphic and the other two human shaped, so you can pick who you think would be fun or challenging.
Enjoy!
Aaawww, I look cute! :)
I need a picture for Marvin anyway. Let me see here... I know I have the descriptions of him somewhere...
Aha, here we are! Here is Marvin's wiki page, just updated slightly to fit with my further development of his character. I would ask for Jumper as well, but his appearance is not concrete in my head at the moment, so I won't bother. I need to write something with him soon...
But I hope you enjoy!
I mean, I imagined him a little skinnier, but you know what, I like it this way. He's like that big, warm teddy bear that could be scary, but he's far too happy to be mean.
Thank you so much!
This is mostly because it would be interesting to see how other PPCers picture her.
A description of her current form can be found here: http://cyba-zero.livejournal.com/2019.html
Have fun!
Because You might not like what I got in store.
However, she does have a wiki page: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Cyba_Zero
The picture on it isn't perfect, though. The description probably describes her better.
To clarify, the description in question is when Eagrus takes a closer look after taking Cyba to Medical.
It just occurred to me that I may not have been specific enough about where the description was in the linked mission.
Here you go?
I wish I could draw like that. The detail is fantastic! I personally imagine her hair and chest slightly differently, but that's mostly a stylistic thing. Were I to imagine her in a more anime style, you would be pretty much spot on. (And as I said, I was interested to see how others pictured her, which you have done exceedingly well.)
The expression is completely right: pleasant enough but with the underlying danger of succumbing to residual hive influence. You also did the implants very well, particularly the neck, eye and foreground arm. I love the little details like the veining on her forehead and the dish at the back, too.
All in all, excellent job! I really like it! Thank you. :)
I need full figure image. Oh, and what style do you use? Two are from anime continua, and the third has no defined style so far (Agent!Sergio came from a crossover with a bit of everything in it, but it's going to stabilize into anime too after my next project) so drawing them in a realistic style would be a no-no.
Busts is still better than nothing, after all.
Sergio Turbo
His clothes are that of the wiki article, black jacket worn open with a t-shirt under it, black trousers with bug, cargo pants-like pockets on the legs and an utility belt with a pistol holster on the left side, with the pistol's grip pointing forward). He wears regular glasses (the ones with wider-than-tall lenses) and a red Rambo-style bandana. It's quite the contrast, but he needs both: glasses to see and bandana to keep the sweat out of his eyes.
I'ts kinda tricky find a good reference, as he's an old Gary Stu of mine reworked into a plausible character. As such, I want to avoid making him look like myself, but at the same time I don't know exactly how he would look like.
However, he shares some visual traits with several Card Captor Sakura characters: Yukito, Eriol and Syaoran
Yukito Tsukishiro
Eriol Hiiragizawa (the one looking like him the most)
Syaoran Li (Good source for his expression, but take care: Nikki says that Sergio doesn't look like him, so avoid using him too much)
Nikki Cherryflower
She's a clone of Sakura Kinomoto from Card Captor Sakura, so the reference is easy. Just bear in mind that Nikki is much older (17-18 years old against the 10 to 12 timespan of Sakura's life CCS covers) and has longer hair, reaching below her shoulders. The hairdo is simpler though, with no hair decorations. Feel free to decide if those big-as-a-fighter-jet's-intakes bangs have to go or not.
Her clothes are pretty much those of the Wiki article, a black coat over simple jeans and sweater. She also has her Device in standby form (a star-shaped blue gem) hanging from a simple string worn as a necklace.
Simple clothes and a like-Sakura-but-not-quite appearance are pretty much the staples of Nikki while in the PPC, as subconsciously she's still not sure about who she is.
Corolla
As an Unison Device, the best reference in Reinforce Zwei from Lyrical Nanoha. However, her hair is a different shade of light blue (slightly darker than that of Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica) and held up in two pigtails. Her clothes are that of the wiki article image (it's rather outdated, though, so she still has brown hair in a ponytail). so a typical anime-style skirt, white thighs and a blouse. She really likes to look cute (and act like a ditz)
Keep in mind that Corolla, being an Unison Device, is just six inches tall.

Forgot that you don't color them.
Question, though: in the case you do them, is it fine if I try to color them to use as Wiki article images?
But enjoy? I think??
The bandana and expression are wrong. I actually meant the headband kind of bandana (my fault, should've been more specific), and he's got a bit too much of a Cheshire cat smile, but... that's him. Great job!
