Description SO I GAVE HIM A POSSIBILITY TO SAY SOMETHING! And I read somewhere that doing character sheets is boring...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NATHANIEL

n_________n


More characters:[link]
- - -


MOST OF THE TIME HAVING WITH HIM:
(And in a shoulder bag this time. Bottomless pockets are O's specialty provided by his tailor.)

- Notebook/diary.
- Pen.
- One kind of a small penknife.
- Often some book.
- Map.
- Some coins.
- Often bread and carrots.
- Little stones, leaves, cones, feathers, acorns and so on. All kinds of small-sized, collectible objects.
- Often empty glass jar(s) (for to be able to catch bugs for a short research pause or collect berries or herbs during his explorations.)

PERSONALITY:
Nathaniel is calm, observating person who doesn't really seek place in the spotlights though he can be very decisive when really wants (to achieve) something. He's loyal even to that point, where he would more likely to spare the people he cares from further problems/worries almost by any means. Nathaniel is usually quite reserved towards persons strange to him but he has strong intuition and at times he's able to conclude whether some person is "better-to-stay-as-far-as-possible" or more or less "good" person just by being some time in this person's presence.

Even though Ophiopogon would easily just mention his apprentice being a silly little boy with scattered mind and a bit clumsy manners, Nathaniel is actually an example of that people so rare who can turn his mind. And though Ophiopogon likes teasing Nathaniel with names like "Young Mister Burdock", "Shorty" and "Flea" he still somewhat enjoys Nathaniel's company. So far he goes, that he even wants to teach Nathaniel some basics of chess - nevertheless Nathaniel's disinterestest towards this specific game.


ABOUT THE OUTFIT:
- indoor/working clothing this time
(out, out: [link] )

So as you can see, the outfit is pretty simple. Normally he's wearing some sort of shirt (mainly white, usually only the type of collar varies), light walking around shoes, trousers and cape or long jacket (either name preferred to use). Nathaniel also loves hats and he actually keeps collecting them where ever he possibly can. Most of them are from Ophiopogon (Nathaniel's Master) who rarely uses nothing else than his felt hat and is therefore willing to gift Nathaniel part of his collection. (Ophiopogon tends to "storage" everything = forgot them as they are, wherever they are).

LIKES:
- Animals (and especially birds and all kinds of dogs even though dogs are rare where they live).
- Sea.
- Drawing.
- Writing.
- Hats.
- Reading.
- Friends & his family. ("Family" referring to all librarians, not only Ophiopogon's household. : )
- Carrots & tea
- (Hot/) chocolate (Seems like he'll never learn to spell this word correctly =_= Other similar word is "an octobus". He has granted each of them with one common name "Inklegs".)
- Ice-cream.
- Bugs (spiders not counted).
- He also wants to point out Sebast, Fégo, Mr. Fritzz (weasel, Scarlet's acquaintance) , Knottie (toy hen) and Nokiki separately as they are his top favourite animals.
- Old part of the city.
- Library.
- Polishing spoons.
- Being short.
- Chess.

DOESN'T REALLY ENJOY:
- Spiders.
- Shakseraggs. (One kind of creatures living at the Library.)
- Firio's "company".
- Scarlet, when she's being nervestaking dominating.
- Cold. (Winter really do share his opinions.)
- Some of the Ophiopogon's whims (like for example having a lesson in the park in the middle of winter.)
- Polishing spoons.
- Being short.
- Chess. (Ophiopogon can never decide whether he wants to play with whites or blacks...)



- - -
Once again at least I had fun.
- - -

Sorry, Sebast. You really look pretty fat in the picture. D :
.
.
.
and Ophiopogon, I afraid we're all having "antennas" here. So at least you're not alone.

It is such a great character sheet indeed... I am absolutely in love with it. I looked at it several times, but can't stop being amazed.
I like the imitation of the parchment... and all the small details... like bugs... and it has humor, yet, it really gives an idea about the character. I looove it.

Thank you. n_____n

It's nice it served you some entertainment. : D There are quite a lot of things i would have liked to add (especially now later on) but as a whole I'm even by myself pretty content with how it came out.

:"D Imitating paper was hard. (They're not exactly using parchment but different thicknesses of papers. And some of the paper-types are made tougher by adding cotton or lignen fibres when the paper is made. : D ) First I tried to work out by using only watercolours, then I came up with testing tea on it, eventually coffee (I don't drink it so I had to wait for a while before anyone made some xD ) and then again watercolours and inktenses. xD And in addition all the textures on the papers, shadows and so on..

Haha! Actually before I started workig really, I made a list in my mind what I wanted to have there: bugs, hats and the notebook.

n_________n I hope it's useful to you. I was lazy enough not to draw him from every possible directions as in some sheets Ive seen, have been done (I did background investigation too xD ).

Coffee, hmmm! I will try it next time when I make "old paper". I actually had a nice experience of making paper look old just a bit ago. I made a map for my boyfriend's birthday present. First, I worked with this map, but as it was rather big, I had to make tea in the basin. I used a lot of tea bags for it. But then I needed to write down what is what on the map, and I wanted to do it on small sheets of paper which I would glue to the map after. So, I made about 30 pieces of paper old. Though I didn't work with such small details as you. I just teared them apart and rumpled them. And then I dried them in the oven. But coffee... I never tried using coffee, only tea. Interesting! By the way, I don't drink coffee or tea.
I actually somehow like it very much that you did it with tea and coffee... It sounds like more real. Though paper doesn't really look old because of tea and coffee in real.
And I still like this painting very much. I hope I can paint Nathaniel soon as having such a good character sheet to look at I feel necessity to do so.

D : I just spent four pullas, a good ol' 30 minutes and a lot of banging my head to the wall when I took my time to go through all of this. Or at least what my tiny manatee brain can handle.

First of all, this is the best and most unique and personality-abundant character sheet of ALL TIME. NO ONE CAN ARGUE, ROAR. You have the ability to make everything look like ... well, you? Not concretely, of course. : D

And this piece just makes me ashamed of drawing Nathaniel today at class. x_x. I'm not doing him or you any justice. XD

Anyway! I love it. :3 I really love your usage of the white gel pen. ^^ <3 I don't know why.

sherega In reply to Mechantece [2009-08-19 16:53:05 +0000 UTC]

pullas xD headbangs?(!) And please, don't take this as an offense, but I think your brains are relatively big. : O At least your thoughts got to have enormous amounts of pathways there. YOu're always thinking so fast. It's increadiable. : D SO your having relatively large manatee brains filled with thought pathways. *nod, nod*

n___________n Thank you! I'm now making you pleased and not starting arguing on the subject. So I say I'm content with it but can't even think seriously doing same kind of thing for Ophiopogon in the very near future. (So submitting it tomorrow... Not really. O.O" )

Now you're having two possibilities here. First, tomorrow I take your notebook and cut your cute little drawing of Nathaniel to be save, or (2nd) you promise to keep him in safe and I cut it for me anyway. I love it. n__________________n You did fine work!

Haha! It's the mysterious power of a white gel pen! I'm near to be able to start a fan club for my white gel pen. You're the second one (+me) who've said that. ': D Gel pens are amazing. They are able to become famous, even...

: D That beanie is having a great mission. To keep your mind save over the winter.

Hovercraft. That's for sure. (So, that was the source of the noise in the night...)

Our poor headmaster. I think he's mostly doing well. Except that aamunavaus running between two buildings.

XD It's an ikuisuusmissio. My brain is suicidal without knowing it.

Yep. Isn't it crystal clear noW? 8D Leave it to Mania-Mecha-Manatee! The great prophet.

Yeah, but I think that he just wants to unite the school and reduce the amount of prejudice the people have against the IB students. Not that I mind the isolation. *hermit*

Really? O .O Such a personality your brains are!

I leave! O' thi griet proppphet!

*sigh* He tries at least. But really, it's like we running there and in the next moment running of. Finding anything humorous here?

RIBBIT RIBBIT! DDD :
I just remembered I was supposed to comment that if/when you submitted a deviation starring a frog. xD And that came to my mind now.

But you are right, there is nothing humorous about running here and there. Unless you can watch and others run in turmoil. : DD

I never remember that right! %(#Q/%?)Q/!!!

I have to draw that frog soon! Grr...

xD True, true. Maybe our physics are wished to improve. We're forced to have a walk every Tuesday! O.O (Why can't we take activity from that...)

I love the colours you used here! And all the little random stuff around the pages, too. Aww. He looks like he's a bit lost all the time. :3

sherega In reply to Nightroaming [2009-08-19 17:40:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! : D (I love random stuff. My weakpoint.)

And I afraid he feels a bit lost most of the times. He's not that good with places. Neither with people, really. ^-^"

Thank you!
It took several months actually. I was asked to do it and so I ahve to go through my files and all kinds of pieces of papers to find my random sketches I wanted to include here. And after it I had to draw plenty more, and then combine them all as a one picture before even having a good line-art. Finally Ijust drew it on proper paper and coloured. (Some weeks - I was sloooow.)

Nice you like it! I'm also glad with how it came out! n_______n

HAHA! Don't know about that! My pauses took days with 0% progress every once in a while.

But it was my top projects for some time (=summer) and I today (finally) found out the rest of the painting. Sometimes it takes time to see how I want them to seem like... But as it took just a moment I also decided to put this here alreasy.
