Hello! My name is Ivan, and I used to have an art shop. Turns out, I don't like doing art for money ( a little backwards, right?) And I've been in a terrible slump lately, and with no inspiration for my own OCs, I want to draw yours!
Rules!
Examples!

I know the thumbnails are small and wonky i just clipped them off my photobucket, bear with me Also my Art blog with a ton of extra examples!
[edit] Changed the rules a bit! Just post with your refs and stuff, and if I choose to draw your OC, i will get back to you! It's been too stressful trying to promise everyone something >_<
hey I've been pinged here about 5 or 6 times for the freeart group. just so you know! (if you do any edits don't forget to separate the hashtag from the name before you save)
WOAH O.O nice arts! would you like to draw my ha? O.O
I hope one of these inspire you, sweetie ❤️
Samir, he should be dancing while listening to music through his headphones. He is 20 years old. Akinori, he is like the typical British butler (even though he's Japanese) that does everything with pride and dignity. He is 30 years old. Neil is a battle mage that specializes in fire and light magic. He has a short fuse and should probably be in a battle pose of some kind. He is 30 years old. Dreamclaw is a futuristic rogue and should be in a stealthy/sneaky pose. He is 21 years old. Echo is a gem golem that is several thousand years old, but looks more like a 20 years old. His skin looks sort of like normal skin apart from the gems protruding from it, and the glowing almost vein looking stuff that can be seen close to those gems. He should be wearing a loincloth and vines should be wrapped around his hands and feet. He should look happy and calm.
OKAY. Here's the sitch. I'm writing this story about a girl named Gloria, right, and she's a lesbian and she's hecka punk rock and the story is about how she starts a band with some friends at her new high school where she just moved. She plays electric guitar. Her Skype username is "gloryhallelujah' and she really digs tea. Her mom is the head of Human Adjustment at the local university. I don't really have any idea what she looks like.
SHE ALSO makes friends with this kid named Alex, who lives in her new neighborhood. He's the first member of her new band. He's probably got longish hair because he needs it for headbanging at concerts. He's super scruffy. It's a punk thing. He works at the local guitar shop. He plays bass guitar. His Skype username is "alexhale" because he's dreamy but ultimately uncreative. He learned to play bass in South Africa one time and is thus a year older than Gloria (who is about sixteen or seventeen). He has an indeterminate but large amount of younger brothers.
SHE ALSO has a crush on a kid named Cora, who wears a violet dress shirt during their first meeting. Cora is a year younger than Gloria, as a sophomore. Gloria tutors Cora in science. Cora changes their name to Cayenne at the end of the story at a Name Changing Party and Gloria gives them a container of cayenne pepper. They do a little bit of acting on the side. They have a crush on Gloria as well. The only description of Cayenne that Gloria uses has to do with warmth-related metaphors. Their Skype username is verypeppery. They've been planning out their name change for years.
GLORIA ALSO has a pretty destructive relationship with a girl named Jane Harris. Jane plays cello in their punk rock band. She works at the local theater company as a stage manager. Jane is a lesbian and also deeply homophobic and hates herself. She kisses Gloria a lot. It's very passionate but also pretty unnerving. Jane has very very long black hair until the end of the story, when she hysterically asks Gloria to cut it all off. Gloria does a terrible job of it. When Jane asks Gloria how her hair looks, Gloria says "fucking metal". Her Skype username is "janebydesign".
YOU COULD: draw art of them, or not draw art of them, or pet your nearest furry animal, or take a nap, or eat some cookies. Or draw a card. That was a great pun. I don't have any references of them, because I don't really know what they look like. IT'S UP TO YOU. In the meantime, enjoy this emoticon of a slice of cake. It's your favorite flavor. <|
[Also you can hear some of the songs I wrote for this fictional band at godyouresoindie.tumblr.com.]
Okay, while all that was really cool, enlightening, and interesting, you did not.... give me too many... visual details xD; If you could just give short, but detailed physical descriptions, or perhaps some pictures, references, face claim, etc, etc, of the lot of them, that would make my job a lot easier, since i'm doing free art, not free designs. ( Also thanks for the cake, wish i had it IRL guhh )
OKAY SO. Lordy. I love them all. You may expect me to comment you with more art sometime, but for now I want to give other people a chance too, rheheheh. I /really/ love fantasy, especially sci-fi, and magical stuff. ( My HA is my necromancer!) I just hope that I did Neil some justice, and if not, well shoot, I might just have to try again. ;) Either way, I love your OCs, and if you ever have an itch to talk about them, feel free to shoot me a comment, or an smail. e u e
@ Actor Hi :) Do any of these kiddos interest you? Dann, airship captain Da, chinese empress Lyal, normal guy with a weird obsession Cheri, tree lady Ebony, african tribal priestess Gustavo, conman Kitt, postapocalyptic alien-killing babe Or the guy to the right on my forum set (unnamed), he is a descendant of a line that has dragon blood, so they turn into dragons! :D --> click for bigger / original face ref
Thank you so much for considering! Your art looks lovely.
He looks great. You definitely did him justice ^_^ Aw, that's so sweet of you. And I'll keep that in mind if I do get that itch ❤️
hello!! Hope you have not problems with... skulls! Here you are the Bocksten Man! He's a bog body of XIVth century, and (I don't know why) he has become like a mascotte for me (I'm a re-enactor of his period). So I really desire a drawing of him u.u I'm quite fond of his history and it touches me a lot. ...yes, it's an hairy skeleton, allright. With a medieval outfit and shiny gold locks. For body refs, there are pictures of his clothings (yes, the body was found in a swamp and it's the best preserved in Europe): One and Two and Three. And for hair, there's a facial reconstruction of him, but I really prefer him like a skull with hair :P feel free to play with his "expression": it's a skull, allright, but also skulls have feelings :P Other artists have tried with him, and you can see their works here! Would you draw him?
You may want to ping a mod to the other boards so they can lock them :)
Here's my giant list of OCs in case one of them sparks your interest, your art is lovely C:
Humans: This girl is Jenn. The image currently on her profile describes her well, but I'd like to also have something fitting of her story for her personal page. Think flannel, writting, introspection, and a love for nature. This guy is Johan. Similar thing, I absolutely love that image of the two of them but I'd like them to have separate images for their pages. Think rugged, flannel, witty, and bearded for him. Remiel is in dire need for artwork. He's an Angel of the Lord. I'm thinking four to six wings, large blade or staff, big heart, introspective smile. Lillyth is a demon. You pretty much have free reign on that one because her story is very loosely constructed in my mind. She's sorta based off characters from supernatural (the show) but I'm thinking of mixing it up. Jeremiah is a pastor. He's got a big beard, a sleeve (tattoos), and a huge heart for God. I'd love to see something kinda like this but holding a bible like he's reading it or preaching from it. Alex is a run-away backpacker. I don't know if you've ever read/seen "Into the Wild" but that's where his character really comes from to me. Addy is a zookeeper. Dark hair, green eyes, big smile, obsession with animals (especially giraffes!) Or you could draw Abe Lincoln for me :)
Animals: Kamots Reference:x Chemukh Reference:x Juneau Reference:x Disney Fluffy magical creature wearing a Mickey Mouse ear hat :) Chewwie A little ferret obsessed with numerous book, movie, and t.v. series (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Supernatural, Sherlock, Hunger Games) Attenborough He's the guardian of nature. He looks the same, but I'm really hoping to get a better pose for him. Birches is a fawn. Timothie is a stuffed horse. He looks very similar, just very squishy and has a tan mane/tail. His saddle is green with a red center (he was a Christmas present).
Oh my goodness I know that was a terribly long list, xD
No problem, no problem. In fact, I am just impressed you were able to double post. O_o Here is your doodle!

Maybe smth of my Haakon? Although you can look for a dif character from my charahub... The sections "Most Precious" & "Monster boys" is what characters that are most important to me now— ;o;....
Gosh, all your OCs are so cool, I had a hard time choosing. e - e Anyway, Here is your artwork! ... Okay, just kidding, that was the base sketch, but could you have imagined that it'd have turned out like this??
Aaand it's finished! I loveeee skeletons and the like, and I wanted to give it sort of an almost wood cut like feel so, here it is!
I chose Timothie, and I just love drawing toys and plushies so much. There's so much love represtented by a little plush animal! Here is your art, sweetie.
