So...I had an idea. And I think I'm going to have to do it to keep myself drawing and in practice consistently and often. I'm going to start a 'Magazine' titled Azeroth Monthly. Each month, its going to feature a new lady or gentleman from the world of Azeroth.
But I can't pick who its going to be every month, so this is where the Word of Warcraft gamers come in.
YOU are going to be the models for this magazine. Yes, you, on the other side of the screen! This is across multiple websites for entry, so EVERY ENTRY COUNTS. The character may be male or female, and of any race (though admittedly I will struggle with Tauren and Worgen). I would rather they be original characters instead of in-game characters, and I have a few guidelines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am going to need:
Player Name: The name stamped over your characters head when you log on (example, Amytenchi)
Character Name: The name you have given your character independant of the player name (example, Amytheil Liferoot)
Server of the Character: The server you play this character on, as well as if its US, EU or Latin. (example, Suramar)
Race and Faction: Simple, what is it? (example, Alliance Night Elf)
Sex: Male, Female, Futa, other? If there's any extension of this, feel free to include it. (example, female)
Age of Character: It sounds like something that shouldn't be said, but if you expect something sexual, they have to be over age in their designated race. If you don't want to calculate say...young adult Dwarf, specify your using 'Human years' (example, 256 in Nelf Years, or young 20's in Human Years)
Physical Appearance: I love reference. In game models on the armory, drawings that some one else has done, sketches that you've done...I'm flexible, but I'll get much closer to what you expect with more examples. If you want a special armor set, robes, or clothing design, include images or descriptions of that as well. (example: I have images of Amytheil on the scraps in my gallery, as well as her in Tier 2 from the Darkmoon Faire, with distinct antlers growing from her forehead and golden yellow eyes. Pale blue-violet skin and rich violet hair. Two red 'claw' tattoos. This is highly abbreviated.)
Personality: How does your character act? Do they have any rational or irrational fears? If you've ever done a RP with your character, you can include some of that for reference. More wordy the better, it'll give me a better understanding of them. (Again, this is abbreviated for Amytheil. I'm expecting...a wall of text. She loves animals, refuses to eat meat, and likes to cuddle. She's innocent and thinks she's a child in every situation. She is afraid of anything that bites or shows harsh aggression towards her.)
Situation: What do you want your lovely lady or gent doing? Is it sexual? Is it cute? Based on the month, is it WoW holiday themed? There is a holiday almost every month anyways. If you have no opinion or ideas, I'll use holidays, since I'm going to make the 'articles' based on what your character is doing. (Amytheil loves the winter holiday, she's big on opening presents and knowing her naivety and the fact that she sleeps in the nude, she likely would get overzealous and just jump into the pile of presents and go to town. With a Santa hat on even.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something like that. The first one I'll be doing is for the New Year, January 2012. The first holiday in that month is the Night Elf New Years, the Lunar Festival. Also there's snow, mountains, Winter activities... The like! So take your pick, post here, Deviantart, Blogspot, or email me at AmyTenchi(at)AOL(dot)com! Keep in mind, you can only enter ONCE per month, and I'll be picking the character at random out of a hat. If you want to add more information or have suggestions of what else I might need, you can post that too :)
