Characters as Cartoon Avatars (part 1)

Bet you weren't expecting this to be the next post, huh.

I watched a YouTube video about it, and I felt like designing my characters on the avatar creator thing last night.

(That sentence was awful, sorry.)

I'm using this one lol

... umm ok.

Here are the characters I have so far (not in the order I created them):

-------------------------------------

Danny/Fierdan in story 2. Basically, story 1 Fierdan and Duke as one person (aka who he originally was). After the haircut. Because story 1 Fierdan's hair is long.

Ryen. See how his hair is black, so it's darker than Fierdan's. Ryen's hair is curlier. The brothers aren't happy. My phone's camera made the lighting weird; it looks like they have different skin tones even though I used the same one for them (and for the other Fierdan and Duke avatars I made). 

Duke. I didn't feel like adding his jacket. Maybe because the Danny/Fierdan one made me want him to dress up a little differently. I guess this is when Duke's hair starts growing out. The dot on the right side of his face is supposed to indicate that it's Duke (just Duke, only him. yeah ok idk). 

Duke in his torture arc. Where he gets tortured. How pleasant! Towards the end of it, probably. There's a shadow thing covering his eyes because he's kind of like evil and sadistic and violent. His head gets shaved, I didn't like the bald option, so I'm calling this hair look the type where the hair starts growing back. Duke's eyes are repeatedly stabbed at and turn black, so I feel like the black eyes with the tears fits him. I chose those eyebrows because he's still the victim at this point of the torture arc. And yes, there is blood. Duke loses blood. The background is supposed to represent the dungeon/basement where the graphic events take place. I'm not sure why his skin looks so pale here since I didn't change the skin tone. Maybe it's because of the lack of sunlight he's getting. 

Fierdan at the end of story 1. Maybe his skin looks so pale because he was stuck in black void land, Cincernum, for quite a while. There's a shadow thing covering his eyes because he's kind of like evil and is about to do a Violent Action TM. The blood on the side of his neck could be literal or metaphorical. Fierdan believes his body is always covered in blood because of the past how mentally damaged he is. He has long hair, but I didn't want him to accidentally look obviously feminine. He's not feminine, especially at this part of the story. He's wearing his black cloak/cape thing. The background is supposed to be somewhere in a forest at night because that is where and when the scene of Fierdan killing Duke (which is the Violent Action TM) happens.

Now onto other characters! (hahaha):

Dawn. I keep on drawing her hair looking straight, but I imagine her hair being wavy- especially the longer it is. Compared to the other ones so far, she is more gentle and peaceful and not entirely pessimistic (despite how terrible her past also was). I chose a lighter skin tone for her, but her skin looks darker than the others. Maybe it's because she's out in the sun more often than them. Yeah sure.

Stella (aka my other name for Twinkle) in the beginning half of story 1. She's still mesmerized that Duke entered (or forced his way into) her life. I think this is when they're in love. Maybe it's during a rooftop scene. Look at her. She's blushing. Aww. And I feel like the background fits her. 

Stella after she cuts her hair. Maybe this is her story 2 look. I should think about her more for that part, haha. The lighting is weird; I swear I didn't change her skin tone. As for short-haired Stella, she feels hurt. Dang, she went through a lot. Stella becomes cold and temporarily mean. She also becomes desperate. Stella has to grieve again, her home got destroyed.. she is just so damaged emotionally. She feels betrayed and has trust issues. 

Ardere. My sweet, sweet boy. Golden sunshine lightning child. I feel like the background fits him. He has yellow-ish eyes. 

-------------------------------

Part 2 coming up next! 

(Actually, I have two more. But now I think they'll fit better in the next part. Plus, this is getting long.)

(I'm going to make more characters, haha.)

(No, I'm doing other things too.)

... I also colored that young J___ school days sketch page. Check that out on the next post. 

(psst, you should tell me what you think of these,,,,,)
