What's this? Some awesome new artwork to post?! HELLS YEAH!

This is one of the main characters from my planned action RPG, Templar. Her name is Cecilia. Here's some info about Cecilia:


Name: Cecilia
Gender: Female
Age: 127 years old (Average life span of the people of Fryjal: 2000 years)
World: Fryjal
Class Type: Sorceress
Eyes: Gold
Hair: Silver
Element: No Specified Element


A seemingly underwhelming sorceress of the technology/magick hybrid world of Fryjal, Cecilia was born with abnormal coloured eyes compared to the rest of her people; while most are born with lavender or cerulean coloured eyes, Cecilia was born with gold eyes.

When a child is born with different eyes, it's believed by the people of Fryjal that they are to go beyond the norm in sorcery and teknomancy and become true masters of magick. However, the opposite happened with Cecilia, where she turned out to be much weaker compared to others.

During her early years, Cecilia was pushed far too hard to try and reveal her supposed latent ability. This included her beginning basic spell training when she was only two years old, even when this never began until a child was at least five years old. Being forced into it so early caused her to never really grasp an understanding of the basics and for spells to commonly end negatively for her, primarily because she was never even given the time to understand the basics. By the time she could understand something, her forced training would have continued on far ahead, always keeping her behind.

This forceful training, along with a lack of time given to her to understand basics, caused her to always lag behind and seem underwhelming. She was often ridiculed for her lack of skill by her peers, and some would even refer to her as ugly. The insult didn't speak to her appearance, however, but in how useless she was. To be useless was considered a sign of being ugly to the people of Fryjal. These things crippled her confidence and made her incredibly shy. This, in fact, made the problems with her sorcery even worse, as she never knew her powers were actually tied to her emotions and that sadness and lack of self-confidence made her weak.


Cecilia was designed and coloured by the truly awesome . If you're not watching her, you should be. She's insanely talented, and I was VERY happy when she accepted to draw Cecilia. Aurora's brought out the very best in Cecilia. I have no doubts I'll be commissioning Aurora again, hopefully with more stuff from Templar.

If Cecilia's look reminds you a bit of someone, you may be right.

If you like the character and are interested in Templar, let me know in this poll: [link]

Ahaha, thanks, but the actual "rendering" was done by =pastelAurora . She designed the character for me, based on some rather open design notes I gave her.

Glad you love it! The colour scheme was one of a set of options =pastelAurora gave me, and by far was the best representing. You should see more of her work since she was the one who designed this character for me.

Thanks. You should share those thoughts with the artist behind it, =pastelAurora ! She did a lot of work on it. I just own the character and hired =pastelAurora to draw.

MShadowy [2012-07-22 22:31:07 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. The linework is simple, airy, to the point. The coloring gives a nice sense of the volume and it's got a pretty decent sense of movement too.

I like this one quite a bit.

Took a while, but seems I did good to save this in my messages. The second character to be coloured was posted the other day.

[link]

It may seem a bit bland in colours, but that's because he's from a steam punk world where he wants to be a police officer, so he mimics the uniform they wear (with some alterations to not get in trouble).

I'm really delighted to draw Cecilia for you and the fact that you like it, which is the most important part. ^^
You've talented of creating such interesting characters, Cecilia wouldn't turn outstanding like this if there was no your deliberate concepts directing this.
^^ Most of all, I appreciate to work with you ! Thank you so much again.

It was impossible for me to not like this, because it was so well done.

I hope to work with you again in the near future, maybe with more from the project Cecilia's from.

In all the main characters in Templar, she's technically suppose to be the strongest. The only reason she isn't is because of how her powers work.
