This will be interesting! I'll update this post with the doodles in a bit/while then.


Update:
I read alot. Quite a lot.

Decided to add mecha to the ever growing list of things to learn.

So @Finnuval

ah I'm drawing blanks here. Usually if there's not enough chara info or another chara with them I do 3rd person view, like snippets of their lives. Problem with M is that I have no idea what type of Manic Sherlock/Robert Jr/Agatha he is to judge the state of his flat. So either need more info or another chara of yours. The only things i can do is ikemen him or make him into memes.View attachment 175588View attachment 175589

Okay some more indepth character bio then :
He has a good, somewhat rich, up bringing placing him in the upperr classes but he resents that. He has a need to prove himself to his peers that he can be succesful without his heritage coming into play.
He is very smart but can be arrogant to a degree that makes him almost oblivious to certain things.
His main ambition at the start is this need to prove himself. Later this will, based on early life tragedy, turn into a more driven ambition of justice and revenge. He is around 27-32yo (i think).
He just started out with his detective business and has no reputation to speak off as of yet. He clearly chooses to ignore cases brought to him based on his lineage opting to start with the real small and dirty Jobs instead.
He has a strong, tho Sometimes warped, sense of honor.
He is somewhat socially akward despite being very charming.
His physical prowess is non-existentant.
He is very detail oriented and good at reading ppl at a glance but can fail st this because of his arogance at times.
He has no qualms sending (what he believs to be) the right ppl to jail and can be pretty cold (bordering on cruel) about this.

Hope that is enough to go on.

Ps : i love the mask one. It's funny as heck! It is so out of character I could actually see him do that to mock someone xD

P.P.S. : i never turn down a good sexy ikemen either tho xD

I'm not pleased with what I've even managed to sketch out with M. Most of the things I dish out are rough slice of life tibits, like the dude is overlooking at a table with files or in a crime scene. Problem is that when I do draw him he looks like those old sketches of Victorian male clothes posters. I'll keep at it and post the ones I like but until then sorry

 

[Finnuval]

haha that's fine. You aren;t obliged to make anything and the main thing is you are having fun... if that isn;t the case just leave it. No sense in getting frustrated over it xD

@Citali


Hi i am currently building a Custom Char for my Project , and if you want to draw him that would be really helpfull, that way i could get a bust and face IMG..

About that char:

Spoiler

its a more or less undead Crusader, he is protecting the grail and therefor he is alive for long time allready.. similar like in the old indiajana jones movie, but more angry because the grail was stolen at the beginning of the Game, and he has to get it back..
Half body Bust (from head to belly) would be more than enough..

some refference pixel IMGs:
( i tried to make him a bit shiney Blue/tyrkies on the Helmet&Armor and Purple on his Sword&Eyes to show that he is keeped alive with the help of old Magic.. )


=> i could offer you a free pixel art edit in exchange
( best would be editing Walking Sprites, or build Selfmade/edited Magic Weapons i am pretty good on both )

.. Edit
For other chars where i have a generator made face, i am using this generator to build low quality Busts.. the base from this generator could be used as Base for the Bust, if you like..
(this is just incase that it saves some work, i would be fine with any selfmade bust base aswell)


=> i attached some editor stuff incase it might be helpfull

 

[Vis_Mage]

Thank you very much, they turned out really cute!

sooo Dark souls/destiny. Helmet or not helmet? Is he built like a body builder? Since he's a reanimated corpse thing does he have a neutral expression?

Thank you very much, they turned out really cute!

I'm glad then. No details on the clothes so the sheep girl so I went with whatever I could make out from the sprite.

I think I got something that might work but it became more self indulgent fan art really.
So lets see since this a rather rougher draft I'll explain what's going on in the image.
M is smugly standing front and center in a circular stage with tools and clues on the floor. the chairs will be different styles to signify the masked person sitting in it their social standing. On the top is the city turned upside down with people falling to further exaggerate that they can't hide from the detective, yet. The ship, carriage, and the blimp are modes of travel but I'm not sure if the models I'm using even existed during the era and I'm a rather lazy person to even double check. If you got any extra tidbits or suggestions let me know

 

[Finnuval]

I love it. Great concept!

 

[Bendyizzt]

Wow, I like it...the only error I see you made [I think] is that the scarf is yellow instead of black [or white] but now that I think about it...the yellow scarf can stay. I also saw that @Finnuval gave you his character's bio...would you like me to give you Drizzt's bio?

oops. no.

 

[Bendyizzt]

Alright...So, Unless this is not the finished thing and you want to continue working on it or if you want to do more of him, you can, but otherwise...I think you finished my request, I have no more requests at this point...and great work...

Helmet, thats why i attached the IMG with the helmets and the neon_color masks that i used to make the color effects on his face..
(parts of his face are Visible, mostly around the Purple Eyes)

He is not really undead its more that he never died because his body was magicly conserved, this magic also lets him revive incase that he will be killed in battle..that makes him kind of undead or atleast not a "normal human beeing"..

He is strong but not like a bodybuilder,and his whole body is under an Armor(legs/arms/hands/feet) and Chainmail(center).. His expression is a bit angry because the grail is gone and he is also a bit like a fanatic believer ,half of the game he will talk about "his duty" and "Gods will" ect..

I was planinig to use this free voicepack or atleast parts of it for him, that might help to get a better picture of him..

I see I see. Could've been specific on that detail. so does the bucket helm have only two holes and a mouth guard? Not sure what that thing in front is. its more helpful to have reference pictures with the specific part circled in red like in bait yt videos.

I edited the last posting added info about "undead/not normal human"..

About the Head:
mostly it needs only the helmet and the Purple_eyes (not much face visible), and i can add some neon Glowing effects with layers around the Eyes(purple red)&Gems(bright yellowgreen)&Crosses(bright yellowWhite) afterwards .. these layers will have low oppacity perhaps around 20%..


-The Gems can be in bright Tyrkies(green/blue)by default..before the neon layers are added

-And the Crosses in Yellow/Orange/Gold by default..before the neon layers are added

about the neon layers:
i am trying to hopefully make it look like magic glowing effects at the end.. similar how i do it on my magic weapon

 

[Zia]

hmm k. As usual I'll update this post with the draft or finished request.
Update
Right, so about the eye holes. Is it two holes or a surface rectangle cut out with the holes.
here's a quick scribble cuz

 

[Dopan]

Bucket Helm IMG link

https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/high-middle-ages-medieval-great-helmet-or-bucket-helm-picture-id1055416116

the shape ,similar like shown on the IMG link above, but with bigger room for the EyeHoles in the bucket



my edit is crappy ,its just as example

/(sry that i cant provide better refferences)

edit
I zoomed in on the Body sprite to give a better look on the body Parts, because the ealier imgs where small and full with the sword in front..

 

[Zia]

ok ok

 

[Ak0i]

That's super cute!!! I gotta make that into a scene now in the game~ <33 I know the perfect place for it!
Ty~

 

[Zia]

Is this mostly how it is? or is it lighter @Dopan

 

[Zia]

[Ak0i]
