November Theme: NaNoWriMo Bonanza

What? Didn’t I just do NaNoWriMo as a theme?

Well, yes, but this is different. For October, I went through my own back catalogue. This month, I’m looking to share the fun. I’ve posted up a thread on the NaNo forums, and will be spending the month of November – in between actually writing my NaNo novel, and, you know, work, life and so forth – drawing the characters of my fellow novelists. If you’re doing NaNo and you want to get in on this, just head over to the linked thread and leave a comment, and maybe I’ll draw yours!

November 1: Lizzie Brightman

Okay, okay, one more of my own characters, but only through necessity – I posted the thread later than I meant to, and didn’t have time to wait for replies before doing a drawing. Now there’re a few responses, other peoples’ characters will start showing up here tomorrow. Promise!
So here’s my protagonist [...]

November 2: Dannae

TheGreekParvula: “Dannae is a brand-new character of mine, an elf from a sort of D&D-ish fantasy/medieval setting. She’s a court jester, but she does not wear the stupid hat. She does, however, wear one of those fancy masquerade-type masks (ala one of these things – but not necessarily that one in particular, [...]

Cadry: “Dr. Richard Ackerley Stratton

okaysparky: “Jasiel: Jas is an angel. Not the It’s A Wonderful Life kind of angel, but the full on righteous fury, flaming sword of justice kind of angel.

November 5: Bjorn Östergaard

Erandir: “Bjorn Östergaard– Six feet tall, or more. He has a near-permanent glare on his face, but he’s not angry or mean it’s just that his glasses still aren’t quite the right prescription and he’s trying to see clearly, it just always comes off as a glare and frightens a lot of people. He has [...]

November 6: Lir

EnigmaticReader: “He is 5′ 11′ inches tall with an amber skin tone, somewhat slender and very wiry, with a mop of dark red (red as in really red, not orange) hair that covers his ears. His face is somewhat pointed, and his eyes are grey (but have no lashes), his nose is short and his [...]

November 7: Ahlam

jordandroid: “…the second main protagonist of my novel is an eleven year old girl named Ahlam (which is Arabic for dream). Whilst the events of the novel are told from another perspective, Ahlam is really the key, the main event.

Morigale: “Name: Vi Fitcher

November 10: Dragon

Tenri: “My character is called Dragon, though at some point my MC really needs to give him a name. He’s actually a dragon, but in my novel dragons can shift into humans.

November 13: Genevieve

UndercoverGambit: “The next character is Genevieve. She is loosely based off of Genevieve Schatz of Company Of Thieves.

Her face is much more round, with big, innocent [...]

Which, in [...]

November 16: Kelledy McGee

pixelcurious:“Kelledy McGee is a 20 year old slacker elf. He doesn’t do magic or have a legendary sword; he’s just an ordinary guy. Mostly he hangs out with his friends, drinking too much and listening to bands. He can fall into gloomy moods a bit too easily, but he has a sweet [...]

November 17: Mae Ducasse

Qahne: “Instead of doing my MC, I’d love it if you could do my antagonist, edgy, friendly, psychotic schizophrenic escaped-mental-patient-come-psychic-phone-friend, Mae Ducasse.
She’s a tall, imposing African American woman, quite toned. She’s got a shaved head, and large, round, vivid green eyes, almost hypnotic, with an indescribable madness about them. Her lips are full and smeared [...]

He’s naturally fairly dark skinned, but living in the cold mountainous country of Antlonur as a slave since he was two has paled him. [...]

November 20: Tara

FlatRose: “Tara has golden eyes and fair skin. Her features are closer to sharp than soft and she isn’t afraid to look you in the eye. She doesn’t smile too much but isn’t frowning either. She’s just afraid of being hurt again as she has been hurt before. Her left hand is covered in scars [...]

November 21: Inspector Porei

Jeronimus: “About the character: Inspector Porei is a stubborn man. He claims to have resigned from the police force to become a private detective because their views didn’t correspond. The truth is, however, that he was fired, yet he never says this and constantly brags about his own worth.

November 24: Larkspur

RabbitinRed: “Larkspur is my fellow.
Because he’s a changeling, there’s something subtly off-looking about him. He’s too skinny, his smile is wider than it should be, and his arms are uncomfortably long.
He looks about twenty. He’s the sort of fellow you’d expect to see hanging about expensive coffee shops, wearing a lot of black and sipping [...]
