All right! Now that we have that cleared up. XD While thrashing about in the throes of art rut over the past few weeks, I decided on a lark to create some reference material for the characters I would have used if I were entering the Artists at the Ready tournament. (Seen here: )
This quickly got out of hand, and you see the result here. (And in the previous faux teaser I uploaded a bit before this.) But hey, art is art so why let it go to waste, eh?
It's a bit of a challenge creating ref sheets for characters who already have them, without sounding like you're telling simply the same information over and over again. And if you are, making it at least entertaining. Though one of these days I think I should make some sort of proper introduction for Oliver since he's never really been fully explained.
Some last minute details that didn't make it in:
Ree is from a story of the same name, no, it has not been released/published. Her song is "Ohne Zuschlag" by Din Stalker. She is a young girl possessed by hell itself and, in the ATR universe, would more than likely be mortified knowing that there are so many other characters in the 'young girl + demons' vein that she'd likely be begging me not to write a story about her.
Oliver is from no story, to clear that up once and for all. He was created for an OCT that never ended up happening. Now he is an orphaned character looking for a home with what is possibly the most frightening puppy dog expression a human being could make. (Yes, he's human.) His song is.. hell I dunno. Vindaloo? Look it up on youtube. XD
Rigg is from an old, old old storyline of mine entitled Jaoh or City of Jaoh. It never got too far along the lines, seeing as how futuristic stories aren't entirely my cup of tea, but he was a good character I enjoyed very much, and would definitely like to show more of him, his companion the Bug, and their buxom overseer, the Psycher Victoria. His song is the Hell's Laboratory theme from FF6. Haha.
I have a request to make - since DevART's gone through so many changes since this image was uploaded, this image's been resized so that we can barely make out the text unless our computer has a massive moniter. Could you give us a download option so we might see it in it's original full size please please pleeaaaseee??
For some reason I always imagine that scince Oliver dosent exist he would be Ree's concience, of course he would be the evil side and the good side at the same time, often debating with himself over what she should do
This image looks so interesting; alas, it seems to be suffering from Deviantart's fullview browser-resizing-thing. :C I'm sorry to bother you over something you did so long ago, but there's no way I can read it or even get a good look at it, which...defeats the whole point of the browser-resizing. XD Would you mind enabling download? (If you'd rather not, je comprends!)
You've really managed to flesh out these characters well in the way that you can get inside their head, think what they think, speak as they speak. I'm quite jealous of that because I haven't managed to give any of my OC's any personality. I think I liked reading Ree's the most because to me her story was fleshed out the best and there's something endearing about a normal innocent girl who just happens to have a chip the size of hell on her shoulders. But why in the world does Oliver have such tiny feet?
Love Oliver!
