Fakku Character Design Challenge (CDC) Suggestion Thread.
0
Suggestion thread for the upcoming Weekly Character Design challenge. [color=red]Anyone can post a suggestion here, even if they aren't participating. Feel free to post multiple times if you get any new ideas[/color].
What counts as a Character?
It can be anything from a human, alien, animal etc. Try to keep it within the realm of characters IE not a Spider Minion / Flying Eyeball or something along those lines.
How do i know which suggestion will be used for this weeks challenge?
You won't, to avoid people getting a head start the suggestion will be chosen at random. I've chosen to not participate for that reason. At some point i will delegate someone else to pick the suggestion for the week (someone who will not participate). Even if your suggestion isn't used this week it may be used eventually, so post whenever you have a new idea.
There's no set rules but here's some guidelines for a good suggestion.
A suggestion can be short or long, as long as it characterizes something. I have provided a list of examples that have been used as challenges on other Art forums.
The Dreamthief: walks in dreams, taking those of value for sale in the midnight market.
Artist's Muse - A person or thing that inspired some of the great artists, for example, a fairy/demon that gave Leonardo inspiration, or a Dutch noblewoman who gave Franz Halz a concept of painting the wealthy.

Oye! What ever happened to this thing? This is a great chance to see some cool ideas and designs! Welp, if no one wants to say anything then I'll suggest something. Let's see, how about an air pirate?
In an alternate Earth zeppelins and blimps are king of the air, and our entrepid pirate is a new recruit in a band of 5 theives. He/she is young and green around the ears but eager to help out. All the action takes place high above the atmoshere so think about what costume and equipement are needed for such feats. I'll let you artists decide what time period it takes place in.
This will be due next friday, so come on Fakku sketchers lets get to work!

After discussing it with some people we reached the general consensus that there wasn't enough interest for it to really take off. But we might try it anyways just to see where it goes. This thread was meant to just gather suggestions, i'll throw up something in the morning based off the suggestions :)

I think this is a great idea but I have a feeling that more people might be interested in it if there's a prize or something? or if that user gets to have their name and their design up on the front page until the next competition's winner takes over?
EDIT: Thought of more to add, I just took a look at the momoka thread. How about doing a competition of Momoka fan-art with different themes ie. in cosplay, in lingerie, as different characters, pokemon themed blah blah. Then the winner and runner ups could have their Momoka on the front page and throughout the site, credits to them of course.

As much as i like the idea i'd have to run it by a mod or jacob first probably. The front page seems to be reserved for important-esque news. I can create a thread where we list off the winners of each design challenge but thats the best i can do.
Also i will post up the actual first design in about 30 minutes, will use a suggestion from this thread.

Spoiler:
Oh I was thinking the front page as in like, maybe the poll background or something - that'd make it more interesting too and won't take up space!

Still need more suggestions to keep as a backlog, since this will be done on a week to week basis.

The Prodigal Mage with Amnesia? there wasn't really a need to respond to it. There wasn't a question being asked and i didn't think the idea needed to revised or edited any further since it contained enough detail already. I was going to use it at a later date.

That was poor communication on my part, my bad.

May I suggest a character or creature that lives on a gas giant? A planet that has no solid earth, only atmoshpere. With no technology involved please

Sorry this is a rough sketch on my mind: What if a certain man that manipulate air for money, and money is the only thing on his mind, so people buy air from him, but met a girl in pain that turns out to be a goddess without knowing him, he saved her for free would she punish him or not...

How about a technology religious maniac who has undergone numerous surgeries, designed to replace the organic parts of his body with mechanical ones, and which claims that his purpose is to obliterate from the world the ones he consider inferior to him, or something like that.

I must be playing Dead Space, or something~ XD
Edit : Just a simple space marine, who had no idea what's going on~

I would love to join but i think restrictions about what 'type' of character is bad way to go. I think something like that just would stagnant creativity.
I think a better option would be something like "design a character that uses green". Rather than limit the creative capacity, a brief like this leaves much more room for exploration and diversity than "design a space guy alien". Everyone will have a different interpretation of what a green character can be ie, an alien, a tree lizard, a slime monster, or hell maybe it's just an ordinary character that uses an interesting green colour palate in a unique way. I find this leads not not only a lot more enjoyment imo, but also can help broaden ones own understanding in design and art in general.
