Please be aware, the first round is what I consider a warm up, and so will be very short. The deadline will only be a week after the round starts (19th July) so you have been warned!
Alright, it looks as if the maximum resolution for any single dimension in the free version of Open Canvas is 5000 pixels. Meaning I can only fit 10 characters vertically!
So I'll post the ten now, done in no particular order:
My quick notes
Frank: Sky-pirate, looks to be a little bit of a rich-boy trying to keep it real, thanks to his background and complex about said background.
Pixel: Originally the diffident look was misconstrued as a homoerotic pout (not aided by the gloves!)...needless to say I changed it slightly. Still looks like a fairly mellow character.
El Cholo & George: Enough said, really.
Chill: Basically copied as faithfully as possible from Cenere, since Alt approved of Cenere's version. I hope to get a more personal feel for him later on.
The Bananaking: No matter how I do this, Bananaking is going to look odd. But the version Zega provided was awesome, so I'm using that.
Dudeguy: Somehow the description led me to believe Dudeguy was quite...hairy >_> Also, head is round because I was incorporating the portrait done by Dudeguy himself.
Hokojo: Surly lurker kid ghost about covers it. The tapering leads me to believe he floats by default.
The Bullman: Is larger than life and takes pains to emphasise this fact to the maximum.
Firefly: Is slightly harder to capture properly due to the street-style being so central to the persona, but I have an idea that will make it work...
Richard and Garrett: Emo kid and pugilistic kid. Easily accessible characters.
I'll do another ten and post them! It'd be a few days or so, then hopefully by that time, the deadline will be approaching and the details of the characters will be finalised.
