Description The lovely cast of the comic that and I are doing and is currently underway. The top row of characters are hers, and the bottom row are mine.

A little different style for this than my usual CG. Mostly because WOW that would've taken a lot of time, but also because this is a little more comic-appropriate. I felt like this style suited these busts better, rather than going all out with in-depth CG just because I could.

The lovely full body drawings of these characters can be found in Vert's gallery:

Quick and crappy character descriptions follow. Vert is so much better at writing these, so if you want more info, check out her drawings of them. From left to right, top to bottom...

Sinead: Saucy and eccentric, Sinead would love to be the beautiful temptress and bad girl that all our parents warned us about, but probably couldn't keep a straight face long enough. She has a darker sense of humor that finds the uncomfortable situations she puts people in delightfully amusing.

Wyatt: Stern, practical, and egotistical, Wyatt has little conscience, and rarely gets attached to people. Weighing matters completely objectively without regard to people, he will make decisions based purely on what is best for the overall goal. If it means sacrificing a life, then so be it.

Dom: Despite generally being rather grumpy and edgy, Dom is actually an extremely caring person. Tired and paranoid, he looks much older than he actually is, and just tries to get through the day with as little surprises as possible.

Ethan: Made only within the last year, and clearly unfinished, Ethan possesses more personality and intelligence than ever intended. His accidental AI is still very childish in nature, but his intelligence is not. He may behave like a child, but he is far from innocent...

Isham: A devoted and horrible bookworm, Isham spends little time away from his studies, leaving his social skills with much to be desired. So focused on his studies, he is awkward and neurotic when forced to associate with people.

Kalle: Somewhat crude, but delightfully eccentric and self-confident, Kalle is very simple minded, and goes after what he wants with little planning or thought. Light hearted and somewhat immature, Kalle takes on the odd situation with surprising ease, and little seems to bring down his levity.

Aidan: If curiosity killed the cat, this boy would have been dead a dozen times over. Insatiably curious, Aidan has an overwhelming need to know - and touch - just about everything. Telling him not to will only inflame that need. He tries hard to resist it, but in the end he simply can't help himself. Incredibly kind hearted and gullible to a fault.

Raine: Small, but spunky, Raine is a good friend of Aidan's, and sadly does a poor job of restraining his curious needs. Inquisitive by nature, Raine finds the unknown incredibly alluring and beautiful, making it a subject for most of her photography. Overwhelmed by the odd circumstances, she tries to handle it in a calm manner, despite freaking out on the inside.

Great work!
I really like how the characters' faces match their personalities.
Thanks for posting this.
Now I feel I must make a character bust sheet and develop on their personalities as well!
Thank you! And... XD nice job once again.
I think your character personality descriptions are good. They're concise and descriptive.

rissbutts [2007-02-07 23:00:57 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic!
I love all of them, they all look so singular and different and full of a life of their own.
Despite the fact that I can tell whose yours and whose Vert's, they all still mesh together so well! It's just awesome! Gorgeous!

jakface [2007-02-07 05:00:39 +0000 UTC]

Your style is fantastic. Something I want to achieve you've already achieved, and that is making all your characters look dramatically different from eachother. You can tell who's sly, who's got a bit of evil in them, who's sweet.. it's fantastic. Love it, thanks for being an inspiration. All your characters are lovely. I especially love the sweet girl in the bottom right and the evil gal on the top left.

melem [2007-02-06 22:26:03 +0000 UTC]

Omg Isham and Kalle! I don't know why but seeing them again make me meh' so happy! XD Aidan and Raine seem to be a great pairing; both driven by inquisitive minds but polar opposites in addressing this drive. Dom looks like a down-and-out Hollywood character actor XD Both you two are so cool and I can't wait to see how the comic turns out... dibs on buying the first print!

Sairobi [2007-02-06 07:24:57 +0000 UTC]

Wow, faving -- I love good character design above all. And this is great stuff! I really like how each of them has distinct features and personalities; the boy and the girl on the bottom right are probably my favorites of the lot.

Kecky [2007-02-06 06:54:14 +0000 UTC]

Wow, these are awesome... beautiful designs and the whole thing sounds so interesting!

Looking at this is crazy because I've been working endlessly for the past several days on a group portrait of all the main characters from my own story that I'm working on. Only I'm doing them all full-body and there are ten of them and it's taking soooo looong and whyyyy do I do this to myself.....

can't wait to see the actual comic!!!

Phwaaaa~! *w* Would've loved to see the full designs of the characters, but just the bust shots are good enough for me! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ YOUR COMIC, OMFG.

I note the overwhelming majority of guys, and I hope for Bishies in the near future. 8D
