Okay, I'll quickly note as usual that this looks a lot better in real life... only more so than the other pictures I've said it on. Why do scanners kill traditional work?
So this is a living example of "Why do I come up with <s>good</s> art at 01:00am?!" Seriously though why? I am so tired! But I hadn't a sudden urge to draw the totally rejected OC of mine *drum roll* Tye (full name IS Tyler, but seriously, NO ONE calls him that. If I ever write the story, I'd mention ONCE that his name was Tyler). He's my final Original Human Main Character to be drawn... mostly because he is SO HARD TO DRAW!!!!! Even this doesn't really suit my picture of him (though in some parts it's actually better than how I imagine him), but note he's supposed to be 20... failed miserably there xD I'm not used to drawing adults... well he can be one of those ones who look really young for no apparent reason!
I drew his face last, because I've tried like... 50 times to draw Tye but his face always fails so I throw away the picture. So this time to avoid the urge of throwing it away I drew his outfit first and then his hair... and finally his face. Hee hee, it worked; it took me a while to get it right but I didn't throw it away. I worked on the "You Raise Me Up" picture too; I'd worked so hard on it, that when it went wrong I was determined not to screw it up and throw it away. This is (obviously) the best his face has come out... I had no idea that it was so hard to draw a: serious, slightly emo, adult, slightly evil face... seriously, never.
His outfit was fun... though to be honest he looks like a bounty hunter... good look though, it suits him. He usually dresses in really dark and heavy outfits so this is a lot lighter for him. And yes, there is a belt placed randomly on his coat (there's more further down). I do enjoy designing weird outfits though, he, Ben and Emily are my favourites in terms of fashion sense because they actually wear the "weird" clothing you see in most animes... mostly because Emily designed and made it.
Character Bio: First time I've done this on a drawing; but here it goes. Well he's called Tye (really?) and he's 20 years old. His past was hard since he was rejected from his father when he was little and his mother was killed (not saying why though ) so he basically had too look after himself... well no that's a lie. He lived in a huge house where children who are going to live on their own live and learn how to look after themselves. The house has servants who look after it and cook for the child while they're still young, but they have to learn how to live in a home. Every year a test is taken and if they pass they are allowed another year free accommodation in the house. It's a pretty miserable living.
He met Ben and Emily when he was 11 when they kept him company at secondary school (Emily was 13, Ben was 15) so he's naturally very close to them. They were his first proper friends (though he was warm to some people at Primary school, despite his hard past he could talk to people fairly easily) and he never forgot them. Even when they both moved away -they were older than him- he attempted to search for Ben (who'd gone missing) and kept in contact with Emily. He eventually bought a flat near where Ben and Emily eventually lived together... he actually owns the biggest flat.
He is fairly rich because he is very talented. He is one of the best artists around, he plays a few instruments (piano, violin, guitar and clarinet) and is a skilled swordsman. However, he is only talented at these because he had nothing else to do when he was young. He relied purely on his hobbies to keep him going through the day. However because of his dedication he gets paid to do a lot of... stuff, lol xD Mostly art, as he can draw very realistically and accurately with only a couple of photos for references (l hate him....). That's why at such a young age he could afford to buy a flat and live in it comfortably.
He's pretty much the closest your going to get to an "emo character" in my story... even there he's more of a "Lone wolf" character... he's not even that lol xD He is fairly cheerful. He's a little aloof and will happily let others talk for him, he's pretty serious too, he actually probably had the sweetest smile though (apart from Sophie) as it changes his slightly gloomy appearance in an instant, he's close to people he loves, he's bi as he does harbour deep within him romantic feelings for Ben (but he would never ever split Ben and Emily up) and he has a soft spot for Sophie, he's pretty modest about his talents apart from his drawing... he KNOWS he's good at that, however he's polite too and never brags, he's the only person in the story who could probably happily go for a few days on his own, he's probably the most reliable of the group alongside Troy (crap, I realised they look alike lol xD), he has the darkest past... but not the saddest (Ben has that role), however his past doesn't haunt him... often xD He wouldn't make a good father but it the PERFECT big brother figure; he eventually looks after a baby dragon and treats her like he would a sister, he has a slightly weak chest so he has been known to collapse occasionally, he hates cold weather (that's when he collapses) as it makes him very weak. His powers are: Lightning Attack (which was given to him by Ben) and... I can't explain it... basically if her draws a movement his sword will memorise and perform it when he commands it, though he has no control over his sword while it happens (get outta da way!). Oh and he is the only character who uses hair gel xD
Art Comments: So who's noticed this is a sketch? Well done indeed! Yes... I was drawing this and I completed the sketch and thought to myself... I'm not changing this. Often when I do the line art if takes away the desired effect that was originally created in the sketch. I though it suited the image quite nicely. I thought it had a certain... charm to it which would vanish when I inked and coloured it. So I left it how it was. His hair came out more wild than it should of... but I actually like it lol xD Oh and his shoulders aren't square, it's his outfit
Thank you so much I'm so happy that you think he's well designed... and HAWT (well he is lol xD). I shall certainly draw more of him for you. Thank you very much for the fave too
Hehe he's like James 20 but looks much younger ^^. It s a thing that those with the hardest pasts tend to come out of it with quite a bit of talent at least in fiction ^^ Well you'll need sensible characetrs like hi mto keep the others in order and add comic contrast but also someone like him sounds like the others will need to look after if he needs it- emotionally, everyone gets lonely sometime right? Plus if he has a weak chest...
I have to say I really really REALLY like this picture, becuase its a sketch his clothes really work and the lines are different widths which work out great not to mention lovely blue eyes there =3 This is a great picture and again your improving all the time, you can see his and your maturity
You're right, he's exactly like James lol Hahaha, good observation there, it never occured to me xD I've noticed that too, people with the dark pasts are always really talented (crap, no originality), but that's usually because they've only ever been able to focus on their hobbies so they natrually excell at them Yup, seriously, he is probably the only really serious character... he does pretty much have the "straight man role", and the "Keep the other characters on a leash" role. It actually kind of adds humour, like you said xD
Though you're right, despite being one of the oldest and being really independant, he does need some looking after. He really does love his friends to pieces; and they often have to help him when his weak chest plays up... the pretty much have ot carry him when it's cold.
I'm so happy you like this. I'm actually really pleased with it, despite the fact it's jsut sketch quality. But this is what most of my drawings look like before I ink them in (only not quite as neat) and it can often... take away some special quality that the sketch had. Plus, I truly feel that there are some things that you can achieve with sketches that doesn't look quite as good with lineart and colour. Yay, blue eyes! I had to colour those... in the end it made him look a little less... evil? Thank you for your lovely comment
ha ha James. He get's annoyed when he gets asked for ID which does happen on a rare occasion but not so much in the last year though. The picture is really nicely drawn Renos-fangirl247. The blue eyes really do stand out which is a good thing. I quit like the jacket though. The body build is also really good. It's not out of per portion as I know some of your guys and girls have skinny arms he doesn't. You really are getting better! I'll be nice and give a 10/10 for good work! XD
