Hello~! I am Shadow! And even though I love to draw, I have limits to what I can draw. Of course I am in college studying for creative writing (making a book). And my book is called 'Melancholy of the Demohost'
The book is basically a Futuristic, fantasy sci-fi holocaust era where people who do not follow the Christian ways will get killed or sent to gas chambers. And for normal citizens, in order to live in society they have to have the numbers 666 on either their forehead or their hand.
The main character is Connor Erebus, a girl who is disguised as a boy for unknown reasons. She is 12 years old, and she believes she is hiding as a boy to stay away from brothels...as soldiers of the president (or Nazi president anyways) kidnaps woman and forces them to bear children whom become soldiers. These soldiers are called Hell-Hunters, believing that killing people is God's message to bring back the Christ era
As a demon/faerie hybrid, she believes she was sent from Lucifer (meaning bearer of light) to reclaim back the country. During her 6 years expedition to bring back America she will meet many people with different problems but with the same goal: be able to sleep peacefully at night, and to show them what 'Christianity' really means.
Alright I got the whole situation down. So I'll introduce the characters, giving you a summary of each so you understand what to draw (maybe). If you draw one of my characters or all; I will give you 20,000 gold on each character you attempt to draw. In fact, I will give you an extra 10,000 if you draw two character together interacting. If you draw ALL of them together....good lord I will give you 50,000.
Here are the requirements for the drawing(s)
1. It has to look finished; it doesn't mean it has to be colored. In fact, a greyscale or black & white drawing will be fine (But I prefer coloring so I can imagine it better for my story). But I do not want to see pencil mark. I LOVE a clean drawing
2. Has to stay in topic. What do I mean? If I share what I expect Connor to look like....it does not mean you change her hair color, hair style, or even her fashion sense. If you have questions, feel free to PM me and I will be glad to verify. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions and are unsure about certain things.
3. Now what style do I accept? Well I love Manga/Anime but I don't want to restrict anyone. So if you prefer realistic or seme-realistic that is TOTALLY fine! As long as it follows the character guidelines.

Lol I do not have too much, so here are the character guidelines. I have 6 main characters in total for the story: CHARACTERS!~ 1. Connor Payne (Her real name is Tanya Erebus; She is a Demon/Faerie hybrid)
• Prized memory: Despite losing her memory at age 10, she has always cherished the memory of a ‘woman’ (mother) singing Japanese lullabies to her before sleeping. It comes to play later on when her ‘brother’ dies.
• Cannot Stand: She cannot stand people who think they are better than everyone else. Especially bullies; it’s the one thing she is happy to punch in their faces if she witnesses it. Her quote has always been: “School does not do s**t, so I do it since I know they’ll start listening when violent acts hurt them.”
• Description: She is a very tall person, being at the height of 5”11 when she reaches 17. Her height at age 12 was 5”6. Although strong, she is not curvy and is ‘straight’ down to 130 pounds when the healthy weight for her size is 155-176, so she is on unhealthy weight. Her hair is straight with some fringes on her face but not enough to cover the forehead. Her eye color is blue.
• Distinguish features: Being Russo-Japanese, she has narrow eyes like a Russian but her figure and face structure is that of an Asian. She always has her hands in a fist, as if expecting a fight. She is never calm and keeps an erect posture to not let her guard down. Another feature is that even though she is not gothic, she always wears dark clothes, especially black.
• Country of Origin: America…of course. Her mother came from Japan while her Father lived in America, even though his parents came from Russia
• Religion and Superstition: She has no religion, believing religion is the reason why hatred exists, especially Christianity. However, she believes everybody has a bad side, minor or major. She believes it’s best to know your limits before doing something stupid, so when you help someone you won’t drag someone down. Her superstition has been to always wear her ‘locket’ and never let it go; believing that the people who love her are able to protect her as long as the locket is worn by her.
• Favorite Color: Black and Red……dark colors
• Style of Fashion: She always wears boy clothes or anything that keeps her moving. She believes that girls who show skin are sluts and are asking for attention so she always covers herself up. The most skin exposed is when she wears a t-shirt and Capri pants. Her shoes are always athletic shoes. If having to be formal, she will wear dress pants, a dress shirt, and clogs if she must.
• One Q. to god: “Why aren’t you fixing the ******** mess your beloved followers have created in this messed-up country?”
• Living: She does odd jobs whenever she is traveling, mostly its stuff that has her moving around like delivery or food service.
• Default Emotional State: Angry, Alert, and Dangerous.
• What do you want?: To have a life after the Holocaust ends, to be able to sleep peacefully at night not worrying about someone going to kill her. And to also remember the memories she has lost.
• Stopped from what you want: The stupid Hell-Hunters that call themselves ‘Moral Christians’ and the White bigots that support them.
2. Kyle Kuvosky (He is a Lycan, so if you draw him have like a wolf in the background. You can design the wolf however you want)
• He does not have a Dad, but he does have a Mom and he loved her very much.
• Prized Memory: his little sister, and how she used to smile without a care in the world, unaware of the hate that is outside of her bubble.
• Cannot Stand: haters of the LGBT community. Like Connor hating bullies, he hates intolerant people and ones that just hate because they were taught, not be experience.
• Description: At 14, he was shorter than Connor but finally reaches 6”1 when he turns 18. He was severely underweight at 14 but soon reaches a healthy weight of 155 pounds due to his slender, small built. His hair is jet-black, not shining at all until the end of the reign of Hell-Hunters, his eyes cause confusion cause unlike regular black eyes like Asians, his slanted eyes are bright green.
• Distinguish Features:Being Korean-American, his distinguishing features is how long his hair is. With a ponytail on, his hair reaches his butt which Connor teases him lightly calling him “Rapunzel’. He always wears a beanie hat and wears a belt around his jean buckle that has a Chinese symbol for ‘Feng Shui’
• Country of Origin: His ‘real’ parents came from Korea after a nasty war between North and South, and had Kyle in America.
• Religion and Superstition: He has no religion due to him being Gay, but he follows Confucianism and Feng Shui to be the light of the way. Confucianism (except the husband and wife relationship) is an influence of his behavior.
• Favorite Colors: Like Connor, his are black and red. But it is for different reasons unlike Connor.
• Style of Fashion: He's a skater boy so he wears clothes that leave him room to do tricks. He mostly wears cargo jeans and loose t-shirts. Athletic shoes are a must including his beanie, which becomes important in the story.
• One Q. to God: “God….I can’t ask why I am Gay. But can I ask why you have not told them that everyone is still the way they were back then?”
• Living: He does not do anything for a living, but when Connor gets ‘busy’ he mostly babysits the ‘little’ brother Dante (until Dante’s death when he turns 14)
• Default Emotional State: His default emotional state is always that of quirky and cheerful, something that Connor wishes she had.
• What do you Want?: He just wants to ‘come out of the closet’ like most people in the ‘LGBT’ community.
• Stopped from what you want: The only thing in the way is ignorance, and bigot Christians.
3. Dante Payne (African-American, and I imagine him having a drawing of earth with people circling around holding hands, signifying peace)
• He doesn’t know his Mom, and vaguely remembers his Dad. He was raised by a loving Aunt and Grandpa until they died leaving him alone with Connor.
• Prized Memory: His most prized memory, although sad, was seeing his Father off to go to the Military…to never return alive.
• Cannot Stand: He cannot stand the stereotypes of black men; sagging, drugs, sex, rapping of drugs & sex, etc. So he decides to be different and test out the theory that people will like him more if he steps out of that stereotype.
• Description: He is a small guy, only reaching 5”6 at the age of 14 before his death. He had medium built which makes him weigh around 140 pounds. He has a shaved head (black hair) and his eyes are brown.
• Distinguishing Features: Despite not following stereotypes, he loves to wear the hat sideways and carry a pouch of a spray can to graffiti properties owned by Hell-Hunters, this becomes important to the gang after he makes the team logo on each sign.
• Country of Origin: He is the 6th generation of black people living in Orlando, Florida.
• Religion and Superstitions: He has no religion, but his superstition is that ‘Karma will come bite you in the a**’ if you do something wrong.
• Favorite Colors: His favorite color is blue and white, the weird thing though is the fact he usually wears red…probably to try to influence the likeness of the color like Connor, Kyle, and Komodo. But Moon helps him to wear blue efficiently.
• Style of Fashion: He does not sag, but like everyone, he has to wear casual due to the era they live in and what they do. So he wears fitting jeans and a t-shirt that barely touches the butt.
• One Q. to God: “God, when will everyone hold each other’s hand without hesitation?”
• Default Emotional State: His default state falls onto naivety and often times jittery as he is known to wander off if bored.
• What do you want?: He has always wanted to be the first rapper to actually speak something worthwhile instead of talking about women, drugs, and sex.
• Stopped from what you want? He dies at age 14, never reaching that dream. 4. Komodo & Matthew Agharna (Technically they are aliens that control the Moon and Sun, calling themselves 'Gods')
• Komodo and Moon barely see each other since they are ‘aliens’ (Or actually gods). So with Komodo being of Sun, he only knows of his Father while Matthew (He goes by Moon) is the Moon, thus only knows his mother. They are both conflicted about feelings for each parent since they never really understood the reason why they are separate….but equal.
• Prized Memory: The prized memory they both share is when they are able to hang out with each other one week of each month, telling the other how the month has been. It’s when they can bond as brothers. (Komodo is the oldest, and Moon is the youngest)
• Cannot Stand: They cannot stand the fact that they are gods, and like any teenager: they want freedom. They get it one day when their parents get killed and they have to flee from earth. With Komodo being 16 and Moon being 14 when they meet Connor, they have to deal with the decision between responsibility and freedom.
• Description: Komodo is a big built man. He stays at the same height of 6’3 and weighs a good 180 pounds. He is not Arnold Schwarzenegger but he has some good muscles. He has red spiky hair like the sun’s rays and his eyes are of a yellow color. While Moon is skinny, and no muscles, almost feminine like (often mistaken as a girl sometimes). He is only 5”11 and weighs 147 pounds. His hair is considered a very dark-blue color with ice-blue eyes like the moon. His hair style is of a straight, despite having a ‘curl’ feature on the end.
• Distinguishing Features: While Komodo’s distinguishing feature is rings in his finger and a tattoo of the Sun on his back, Moon has carved Japanese words that say ‘Moon’, “Dark’, and ‘Blessing’ with a Moon Tattoo on his back.
• Country of Origin: Komodo comes from the Sun, while Moon comes from the Moon.
• Religion and Superstition: They have no religion nor do they have any superstitions
• Favorite Color: Komodo likes red and Moon likes blue….nothing else.
• Style of Fashion: Before coming down to earth, their clothing fashion was inspired by Chinese-style fighting attire except Komodo’s dress was red while Moon’s was blue. But upon landing down on earth, Komodo changes his style that of a ‘boy-band’ style, with Moon influenced by Kyle and Dante’s attire. He wears a hat sideways like Dante, but wears loose clothes (no sagging) like Kyle.
• One Q. to God: They can’t ask God’s questions…THEY ARE GOD!
• What do you want? They both want freedom and a chance to hang out together more. Later on within the story, Komodo is more interesting in pursing Connor’s love (not told in the story, but has some hints) while Moon pursues finding a way to be independent and not be weak.
• Stopped from what you want: What is getting in their way is the fact the murderer of their parents is around, and the Holocaust they landed upon distracts them from their life goal. So they depend on Connor, Kyle, and Dante to help them. 5. Fiona Lawless <---(Yeah she is an Angel....an angel sent from Heaven to end the Halocaust)
• Prized memory: Her most cherished memory is her life in heaven bringing in people who deserved peace and happiness....even though she brought in people who had lives ahead of them like the Sandy Hook Children
• Cannot Stand: Due to influence of heaven, she cannot stand Satan and his 'warriors', preferably demons and also ungrateful humans. But when meeting Connor who is part-demon (and who also saved Fiona's life), she has to question on what she was taught
• Description: Although not as tall, she only reaches 5"6 at the end of the series. She weighs about 120 pounds with a very thin frame. Her face is pale and appears acne-free which confirms the rumor of angelic beauty. She can sprout out her 6 foot-length angel wings which help her fly faster than some birds.
• Distinguish features: For an angel, she has hair and eyes that is the color of fire. Her fire-colored curly bob hairstyle confirms she does not follow angel stereotypes with long gracious hair and bright blonde/white colors. And despite a 'flawless' face, she inhabits freckles which may have people question if she REALLY is an angel.
• Country of Origin: Heaven....basically. No need to answer this
• Religion and Superstition: She represents the 'real' Christianity, thinking that human's interpretation of it is bull-crap. She believes that God loves all creatures and is very forgiving if you are willing to be a good person. Her superstition (maybe) is that she believes things happen for a reason, even if it's tragic.
• Favorite Color: Her favorite colors are blue and white.
• Style of Fashion: Due to purity, she does not show skin (except her face, some arm, and hands). She wears a shirtwaist dress covered by a short cape. The ends of the dress and cape (including the collar of the cape) have fake white fur on them, believing to bring a slice of home on her journey. The sleeves on the dress are cornet sleeves, and it too has fake white fur on the ends. She also wears brown lace-up boots. If hot, she just takes off the cape and keeps the dress and boots on.
• One Q. to god: “I cannot do this alone, will you help me end this humanity war on our faithful religion?"
• Default Emotional State: Calm, Collective, and Curious. In another way: she has wisdom for a young angel
• What do you want?: To come back to heaven and stop the useless killings of children and innocent beings
• Stopped from what you want: To follow Christianity, she cannot kill and cannot fight back in the name of God. And it seems to be the only way to fix this mess.

I will really appreciate it if someone does the character drawings for me. It is VERY important so I can write the stories properly and not mix up the appearances and such. And of course I got limited amount of gold so it's best to ask me if you REALLY want the gold (If your doing it for free....I will have to thank you until the millennium) but I will still have to award you either way. The only other way is through my Nintendo 3DS or something like that XD. Or maybe become a character in my future stories (Since I am working for a bachelor's degree, more than likely to have a novel published =3)

I'd do it (I do all my art for free)
but I'm literally drowning in requests & trades at the moment....
Hosting a guild event and I'm offering art, wish I hadn't because now I have
no free time to draw for myself. emotion_facepalm
Is there a time limit that we need to have this done? I have, like, 7
more requests to do and then I'm free. So, if you can wait I'd try. :3
Oh, plus, are there any references of any kind? I mean, even a tektek?
Or are we supposed to make them up ourselves? o .o

Did you want full body or is mid/bust ok? Transparent, chibi, ect? I am fine with that, I just want a clean picture (like no pencil marks and a messy piece...is all). And my #1 favorite is if you do the full body and also a bunch of faces showing different emotions like this: If you cannot then I will accept a mid/bust picture with maybe a chibi to make it cute XD. Your choice, I am not that strict.
