You know how the artists went and updated Aerin's sprite for b2? Not just the clothes, but his actual features? Well, I think it would've been neat if they'd also updated his nose to be crooked or have a bump where MC broke it, but then I guess that possibly didn't happen in every playthrough, and in any case I fully support them prioritizing the poor little meow meow pout

Moe ref I made today to sorta update its look, to how I've been drawing it lately (focusing on the face!)

Biggest update is getting rid of the bottom lashes, and giving it creases/just the eyebags instead... and also committing to giving it facial hair! So creatureful........ (the chin hairs make me think of goats... the little hairs beneath the side burns make me think of whiskers.....)

What kind of references do you provide for your kendis commissions? They always came out so well!

Everything under the sun!

In short: Picrews/meikers, the pinboard/moodboards, and the fc. And any other detail they might desire.

The first gives a look (as well as the fc) and the second gives hints on personality.

Then we work from there. I usually ask friend's who know the character second opinion -- like ask them to read over summaries I write about description on character's (not just Kendis') appearances/expressions/style etc, to ensure I didn't miss anything and if what I wrote was clear. Sometimes, they also help my indecisive self pick things when the artists gives me options.

I also think knowing the character helps. I feel I have a clearer vision for Kendis (and I probably would if I did an Andy one) commissions becausee their personality and style is [USUALLY, lmao] clear to me -- but even if you don't have years on your IC (like I would with them), fiddling with their look and personality helps a LOT and helps guide you. Like for example for my Lala request their look was clearer for me vs my Xhyera request where I know her personality/demeanor better than her style.

And dont be afraid to put a lot of detail! And to say what you do or don't (nicely please!!) like during the sketch part. It is rare that I have found an artist that did not give me a part of their process where I can state what I wanted to change -- actually I don't believe I have; even when I'm not part of the process step by step (mostly), they always ask me my input at some point.

Also below, here is a summary of what I sent for a joint commission I've had done. Hope it helps!:

[ About your portrayal! ] I love how it doesn't stick strictly to canon and it's built on headcanons and the art is GORGEOUS. Love your Rhys, would die for him <3

from this meme.

THANK YOU... i'm really grateful for all the conversations we've had about BL1 and atlas' influence there and comparing it to the atlas that we're given in BL3. of course the fact that rhys' arc in BL3 leading to promethea being more a sub-stage than a main location means that we aren't given a lot of his atlas to go on besides the way it looks / others talk about it, but i feel like i've been able to solidify more about rhys in that era thanks to all the shit we've discussed, ahaha

i just hope that my headcanons don't overwrite what we get in canon and are still more supplementary than trying to change canon!rhys :x and that at his core rhys still resembles what we see in the games lol

since i'm here and i'm thinking about it, here me out okay. i want arthur broken. i want the brotherhood decimated and him managing to survive, stuck in the commonwealth with everything he's been told his whole life is his birthright going down the like the hindenberg.

i want this, because i want to see if he will double down on the brotherhood's line of quasi-religious bullshit, or if he can still grow and change as a person, because despite, he's still a twenty-two year old kid. a kid that's been shoved into a position of power, yeah, and one with accomplishments under his belt, absolutely, but...still a kid.

The worst thing about bring a man is that sometimes you get this unstoppable urge in the back of your mind. An eternal, hard fought battle against the last, primal urge haunting us in this golden age of information and enlightenment. Calling you like a siren on the rocks, beckoning you at all hours of the day and night, slowly driving you to the edge of oblivion.

I speak, of course, about the male urge to grow a mustache even when we know that it won't look good.

It was close upon four before the door opened, and a drunken-looking groom, ill-kempt and side-whiskered, with an inflamed face and disreputable clothes, walked into the room.
