Welcome to Gaia! ::

I like the name Adrian or Kole.

HUZZAH! I return for a glorious moment, using slow, slow, slow dial up in the middle of a mountain home!

After wake boarding, fishing like nuts (and catching a 21 inch small mouth bass, if I might add), and having my dog licking my leg constantly to wake me up way too early for a vacation, I'm perfectly suited to use a slow dial up computer to read massive walls of text!

First things first; I wanted to tell you all that I've drawn up my own ideas for character designs, and will scan them as soon as I return home.

The character design for the girl is rather extravagant (huzzah for spelling failure!). I drew her with large, red eyes with long eyelashes, pale skin, a face that has a constant blush, pointed ears and sharp teeth. I drew her rather tall as well. Her hair is parted at her forhead but it curls up as it goes down towards her ears. Past her ears, her hair divides into two parts, with metal bands that seperate the hair and have shiny bells attached to them (spelling fail x2). I was imagining a semi medieval time period, so I gave her a tunic with tights, and high heeled boots that come up to her thighs. Her hair is black with silver tips at the end of each part.

The boy, on the other hand, is much more down to earth. I drew him with blond hair with bangs that constantly cover his eyes. He has tan skin. I'm debating the eye color, but I'm near decided upon silver eyes with long eyelashes that actually look rather bad a**. I drew him with huge shoulders, and very tall. All in all, he looks very cool and mean.

Now this is where I get to his clothing, and I'll explain why I dressed him like this later.

He has yellow rubber gloves that come up a few inches below his shoulders. On his neck he wears a silly dog collar that has "Fifi" imprinted on the name tag. He has a pink t-shirt, with little green flowers all over it. He wears an apron, which has a pink heart on it that says, "#1 MOM" on it. He wears dull colored pants and oversized boots that have several belts on them.

When I designed the boy's character, what I had in mind for the story was this. The boy had stolen a piece of pottery from his mother and was planning to sell it in order to pay for his secret sewing hobby. He made a deal on "YeOldeEbay" and was planning to meet up with the person who bought his pottery along the border of the Light and Dark realms. The person who bought his pottery was the girl, however, and she brought with her an honor guard while the boy came in the guise of a peasant. Scared shitless by all the guards, he attempted to run away, "which involved breaking a guard's nose, injuring a poor horse, and the untimely destruction of an innocent piece of pottery."

I then planned for the boy to be taken captive, and forced to be the slave of the Dark girl. My idea for the rest of the story would be the silly misadventures over which a total badass would be forced to serve a wimp, and over a series of hilarious events they would slowly warm up to eachother and perhaps become lovers (while at the same time the Light realm is furious over the abduction of their prince, and perhaps a war might be waged. I always do love medieval warfare razz ).

That's why the boy is wearing such rediculous (spelling fail x3) clothing: to degrade him.

I'd like to say that I'm slowly beggining to like the idea of the girl having a backbone. It would be funny to see the two arguing, since the boy would be her servant who would be supposed to do everything she says; yet he's the only person she's ever met who does the total opposite. I can see this being very funny (and perhaps explosive...*evil laugh*) and I'm happy either way with the girl being a wimp or being bitchy, because both can be twisted into a very comedic story.

As for the boy selling pottery for his kingdom...I'm personally going put out a thumbs down to that. Nope, not going to happen. I'm sorry, but seriously? If you were a prince of a poor and starving country, would you honestly think that the best way to solve the problem would be to sell pottery!?! Why not make contracts with neighboring countries? Sign pacts and buy masses of food? Invest in schools for educating the future generation? Give money to inventors to discover better ways of living? No. If this guy wanted to help his country, he sure as hell wouldn't do it by dressing up as a hobo and selling pots on the side of the road. When we talk about supporting a country, it takes a lot more money than that, trust me.

About the names. I don't really like the sound of Bianca. I like the meaning behind it, but when I read it the first thing that pops into my head is: "Biance." If this is going to be a semi medieval time frame, perhaps more medieval sounding names are in order? (example: changing "William" into "Willem")

______________________________________________

Sorry about all the text guys, but I REALLY don't want to have to sit through this dial up internet much longer, and I needed to tell you all my opinions.

I actually finished my character design ideas like, a week ago... I just haven't scanned them yet. I'm not using my usual cpu. But when I do, Imma scan and color the pics, hopefully somebody will like my ideas.

As for the names thing, I actually don't mind Cole, though I'm not crazy about it either. Indifferent. Bianca, on the other hand, may not match what I had in mind. the reason is that, before I read the continuing convo in this thread, I had already designed "Bianca" to look Asian/Indian, with brown skin. One of those pretty eastern princesses, whereas Bianca is more of a European name. It just wouldn't match the design I was thinking of, and I don't want to scrap my idea of an Indian princess. Hmm... maybe once I post my idea it'll make more sense, what I'm talking about. Then everybody will just decide whether they like it or not.

Okay, well I'm back from my vacation and ready to go! I'll scan those character designs in a few minutes or so.


Haha, ryhmes...

Hang on, I'll upload my character designs onto photobucket real fast >w<

I'll scan in my character designs as well. ><
I had forgotten for a while that I had done some designs.

Boy Design ::
In my idea I think that the boy would be tanned with a light orange/dirty blond hair. I dunno. It just strikes me as the type of guy he is.



Girl Face ::
In my idea, the girl would have brown or black hair, with fair skin.


Girl Clothes Design ::
In my idea, the girl would wear clothes similar to these when she is by herself. In the presence of the king/father and his advisors and such... she wears more layers along with the royal ring, and her tiara/crown.

That's fine~ Take your time, since we still need to wait for Miimie to finish page 4. :3
