Here is you main subject...Myself ^_^.
As you can see he comes in many forms, but trademarked for his cap and black trench. This does not mean you are restricted, by all means no. With all these prizes and I own one pair of pants, lol yes my wardrobe is small, so, put him in a dress?, better clothes, what ever you like, go for it I know and have seen many that find it hard to draw males.. so.. draw him as a female... cant draw humans?, then make him an animal.. I give artists alot of free reign, I dont wish to restrict any talent out there, but here is the four total models for the art, with character descriptions, brief history/background and some examples.
The Poison Arrow
The middle aged human 5 ft 8 male covers almost his entire sleek like body in black clothing. His gloves, boots, leather pants, long sleeved button up collared shirt, cloak, even his wide brimmed hat is jet black. Only a space is left bare to let his slightly illuminated sinister emerald eyes see, a tight cotton mask hugs fron the bridge of his nose, down around his neck, letting his facial expressions known.Under his cloak appears two belts, one draped over each shoulder. The one on the left carries liquid filled vials, the right, throwing daggers.A crossbow appears on each wrist and strapped to each thigh, all notched for the ready. A short bow hangs off his back, along side a quiver, filled with green arrows. His only other item is a ring on his right hand, which has a jade arrow embedded in it. When his face is revealed, it shows his face looks of a roguish charm, almost lazy like with his roughly shaven face with a devilish smile. A scar appears over his left eye, like a star surrounding it. Shoulder length brown hair flows roughly around his neck.You may notice he has two shadows, one his own, the other is of a larger figure, demonic looking.
Examples
Example 1
Eample2
Story: Poison is an incredibly eefil assasin, cunning and ruthless, and a womaniser. Most likely to spend the time to learn of his target for weeks before killing them, he's not afraid to wait patiently amongst the shadows for the right moment. Paranoid about keeping his identity a secret, he does what it takes to make himself unknown, a ghost, leaving no trace but the poisoned green arrows embedded in his victims. He even went to the point of removing all that knew of his past, including family. His eyes always glow with an eery light, from adapting to the plane of shadows, his home. and steadily loosing a battle within with a shadow demon that wishes to make his body its own.Tresspassing through this demons realm constantly and always managing to elude this demon,caught the demons attention. A race that deals in the rading of souls, thought he could capture the assassin for a grand prize, if not, use his body as a vessel to travel to the mortal realms. When caught treasspassing the demons place again, Poison was given a simple deal. Fight, win and he would have the demons soul, and all that he owned, lose and the soul and body of the assassin were the demons property. Poison saw no choice so fought and won, when it came to paying he told the demon to keep it, but sworn to an oath the demon forced his essence into Poison. From that day he has had to struggle to keep control of his being, every moment a battle to remain in charge.This creature bares the same green eyes, sinister creepy large toothed grin, blacker than night and looks much like this:
DEMON IT IS THE BLACK WINGED BEING
Poison also bares the symbol of Mask.. a god of cloak and daggers, shadows and illusions, on his back, almost a branded tatoo. This is not something Poison asked for
SYMBOL OF MASK
Artist notes: This Poison is a medievil based character, and is rather dark and disturbing, Id hope to see some done with the demon involved, as its part of who he is. Look at Sabins siggy, you'll understand what i mean, Poison is in a similar situation, i'm hoping to see some really good pieces of this one, especially those of nightmarish looks. He usually features with his bow and arrows, as he's an archer.
Sticks
Sticks is a mid twenties human male in fit form. standing bout five and a half feet tall, sea blue eyes, and bronzed skin covered in a variety of tattoo's.. ranging from : A snake running down his left arm, a shark on his right, bear paw prints on his chest, a skull and cross bones along his abdoman, apair of bone like wings on his shoulders blades and a phoenix on his back, in between various other smaller tattoo's and runic markings. His undercut flame red hair is covered ucually by a red bandana, his other clothing consists of worn brown trousers, faded in the sun, a pair of black leather boots and again in fingerless gloves. He carries with him a long adamantite bo staff and two batons strapped to each thigh of the same material, also from his belt hangs a gourd containing some liquid.
Examples
Example 1
Example2
story: Sticks cares for only three things in life, Fun, Fighting, and Fornicating. A complete a** and jerk at times, lack od respect for most, you would find him drinking nearly everyone under the table at the local tavern. A pirate by trade and nature, Sticks got his name for his skill in staff like weapons, he also is quite adept at drunken mastery martial arts, which he uses to start trouble where ever he can. A firm believer that he should go out with a big bang, he pushes life to the edge and over, always the dare devil and often said to be completely nuts. He's the type to kiss a queen on the lips just to see her reaction.
Artist notes: Go nuts!. lol have fun with this guy if ya like, he's fun to have roleplayed, so do what you like
Orbben Avuna
Orbben is a rather tall drow( or dark elf), standing 7ft and built with muscle, this veteran fighter wears many scars of battle, much over his body, arms, chest, back, and face. His broad shoulders and chest lay bare though he wears long loose fitting tan trousers and brown leather sandles.His weapons rest off his belt, three swords, at three different lengths, ( nodachi, katana and waka something, please excuse my horrid lack of culture) held in well crafted sheathes.Orbbens white hair is pulled back into a pony tail that flairs out into spikes, his face covered in the same hair with a goatee. He can often be seen in samurai armour, baring the mark of the spider, dark and shining.
Examples
Example1
Example2
Story: Orbben is a rather good creation of mine, a hugely sized muscualr dark elf samurai. The reason being is that he had forsaken the ways of magic, even in his inate nature, to train his body into a better more powerful form. Orbben is as loyal and honourable as you can get, and strict, always training, his mind or body. But Orbben has a flip side to the coin. In drow his name means " Spider's Fury" , the name derived from his terifying rage in the heat of battle, he's known to take cuts and blows that would put others down in one hit, and yet the sheer madness of his barbaric frenzy keeps him going, wading into battle with no fear, sometimes his cries send others running. He has trained his mind well to control this, but there are times he snaps, and even friends should not get in the way.
Artist notes: as you can see in the examples, he wears the armour of the samurai, but not ALL the time, so feel free to have him bare of it, he is still as normal a man as a dark elf/drow can be
Gaia Poison Arrow
This would be me, in my avatar form. You can see above i have many looks but this is the main two i use, simple and easy...
Examples
Example1
Example2
Story: the nick obviously came from the dungeouns and dragons character above, so i kept the shadows and glowing green eyes, but apart from that, he's just your average modern day fun loving punk, though eefil, a massive flirt and fun loving. Artists can do what you like here. Sometime featured with bows an arrows
Graydorf Griffin
A mid thirties human male, standing 6'5 and lean muscular build, looking as if a sea farer of sorts. Long shoulder length dark blue hair, knotted into fine braids, trails down his neck, a black goatee surrounds his chin and mouth. He wears a black trench coat, worn and patterned withcurled waves, open with a sky bly shirt beneath with a ship emblem, this is open to reveal the blue sea dragon tattoo on his chest, His deep blue leather trousers hug his waist and are covered to below the knees in black boots. On his side his carries a pair of scimitars. His eyes are a hazy green and his left eyebrow, both ears and chest are pierced with small golden hoops. Around his neck hangs a medalion in the shape of a curled dolphin, coloured in sea blue
Story
Gray, is the captain of the ship , The Black lotus, the fastest vessel on the water. A pirate by nature, but a gentleman at that, quite the ladies man he likes to win hearts of many and believes that life is like the water, ever flowing , and he is riding it, he is a decent swordsman, but is a cleric of an aquatic elven god , as well as a good sorceror, he is adept in both devine and arcane magics, but never abuses it,prefering to use his hands and lips to solve a problem first. Gray is also sticks's captain
Artists note
Well I never had a pic done of Gray so feel free to bring to life the vision in your mind, id love to see what you come up with, ill be adding a catergory for gray as well
POISEY V 2.0
Story: This is just my avatars new look, i liked it so much I decided to try and get some art work of him
Artists notes: Do what you like, if you're looking for ideas, just think of him as the olden day Poison arrow in Ninja form, couple throwing knifes or a green glow round him is some ideas
