We have a lot of scattered character drawing resources here: Pohatu's got his own thread, I mine, and there's the Family Photos thread, but I was thinking it would be useful to have a single-thread reference point for all available characters? Nice little list-style post, with maybe some spoilers to organize by alliance. So I'd start it like: HELEN MERCURYMIKOHECTOR AVIYAN RYORA NYKTORIRHYS WHITTICKERand would be edited accordingly as we amass more drawings and characters. does this sound ok to yall?? i'm sorry if i'm coming across as annoying but i guess i missed ORP more than i thought and now i really want to get involved again! ETA: two points i overlooked: 1. Going through the Illustrated thread I'm noticing a few portraits being lost to the sands of time. As part of a preservation project should we keep a collaborative Flickr album or something to archive every drawing? 2. I want to include a little footnote system with this guide with vital information like artist and additional context, but how's the best way to go about it? ETA 2: Here's that Flickr album that link isnt working just use this then: http://https://www.flickr.com/photos/138215519@N07/albums POHATU EDIT: Fixed the link.

even better: i think i can just provide a link to the flickr album for each character, and we can provide any footnotes in the description.
if we go this route, may i ask that people provide me with a short description of each character to put in the album description? thnx in advance yall

Not actually my work, but my reference for Marius: And my own work for Valon:

DL: great job on the Valon sprites, but for Marius, we were thinking we should keep this album exclusive to art made by board members or related parties and portraits that are actually of the character. so no faceclaims or other reference pictures if needed, we can launch an incentive to get someone to do a portrait of a character for those who aren't artistically inclined, be it from me or lee or pohatu or someone else

I recently fixed my touchpad, so we may see a Flint very soon. At least, I'm aiming that.

People are free to create Exodus-genned art of Marius if they would like.

Oy, Pohatu, what's the odds you happen to have the drawing of Reba you did for that househeld animation? I'd rip it from the Youtube vid, but I feel that'd do a disservice to your art. (I find it notable; because I think it's like the only thing you've drawn without posting available links to the individual art on here?)
Also, there's a criminally small number of depictions of Emily here. I must remedy this.

What are those odds? Pretty good. I added it to the Flickr Reba album.

Thyra Russell: A Power orphaned in the Salcester Incident a decade ago. She's now founded Terminer Academy, a school to provide young Powers with guidance so they don't need to suffer as she did.
Miko: Emperor of the militaristic Summoner Race, he's been pushing his people to approach the rest of the world with peace and diplomacy... With very limited success.
Nopcsa: A smarmy mindreader from the Fascere Order, an organization that deals in mystical artifacts. He finds himself frequently at odds between the goals of his employer and the well-being of his friends.
Garth: A youth who stumbled upon the powerful Ophiuchus Amulet, he tries to do what good he can in the world, despite his powers slowly killing him.

Valon Lorsha: High Lord of Drakengrad, an eccentric king of the people with an abundance of power.
Marius Solidad: Lord Commander of Drakengrads Fourth Legion. A brilliant battlefield commander that can't fully cope with life outside of conflict.
Nessa Weir: A young Scottish woman with the potential to reshape the world, but at what cost will change come.
Ty Bolton: A youth trapped in a mans body, he walks an awkward path through life trying to find balance in his abilities.
These are the ones that I care about right now.....

the archive is really coming along, guys! one question though re: some of the one-hit wonders in the album: should we get rid of individual albums for characters like Haze and Summer and Cobra? they're pretty much in retirement at this point so i would propose we bundle some of these characters into a miscellaneous album, is this ok with everyone ETA: Beelzebibble I'm making a banners section but I can't find the banner for Photu's Phat Mixx?? could you please supply it or add it to the album yourself??

I agree about some of the retired characters.

Post by Tout-Perd on Jan 12, 2016 17:45:46 GMT -5
I'd consolidate Haze, Cobra, Joseph, and Summer under "Miscellaneous Summoners".

To preempt a likely question from Loogs, do you remember who did these? Vieve was a friend of yours, right? I don't remember that Rie drawing. It'd be nice to credit them in the gallery.

I've... got to be honest, I don't see the value in adding those character descriptions. This is just a visual reference compendium for our use, right? Who are we writing these descriptions to benefit?

Much like how I'm tidying up the TVTropes page, it's an attempt to make things more engaging and open to new readers/returning authors who've been out of the loop for a few years. These micro bios are helpful for people who don't have the time to go reading through a bunch of RPs to get up to date on the big movers and shakers.
