Skira

Reference pictures (art quality's a bit iffy on the second one, but it does provide a good view of her signature weapon):

I may draw another picture of her soon.
Art by others:

[link]

Age: 19
Body type: Lithe, tall (5'11"), slightly muscular, athletic.
Eyes: Yellow, with blue streaks.
Hair: Bright green, transparent and plasma-like.
Skin: Medium gray-brown.
Other features: Dark lip color, and sharp, narrow facial structure.
Clothing: Her favorite outfit is a slightly skimpy black dress, which she wears when she wants to distract or discomfit someone with her attractiveness or seeming vulnerability. Other than that, she often wears; her battle armor (dark blue metal, with spikes on the knees, elbows, and helmet) or her casual clothing (loose light brown shirt tied at the waist, with brown pants).

Story: Skira is the half-demon leader of the demon rebellion of Akatria. Her human mother was murdered by a lynch mob when Skira was young, and when she was 15 her demon father was killed in the climax of the religious war raging between two human sects. This, and the way that demons were treated as animals by the humans, led Skira to foment demon resistance and defiance against the humans of Akatria. Taking advantage of the turmoil created by the religious war and the catastrophic disease that ended it, she ruthlessly slaughtered any opposition and led her motley demon army to victory, securing demons equal rights and representation in Akatria's new Grand Council.

Personality: Skira is cocky, confident, and clever. She acts fast and thinks faster. She often purposefully dresses or behaves in such a manner as to make those around her slightly uncomfortable. However, she is also merciless and swift to anger. She is incredibly determined and resilient, and will never back down from a position she believes in.

Other information: Skira is actually the antagonist of her story, but whether or not she can strictly be called "evil" for her war crimes (which one could argue are justified by the human's treatment of demons in prior times) is up the reader/viewer. She also has a favorite weapon– a spear-like object that has a twisted blade with spikes at it's base.

Request Specifications:
Visual media would be best, but if you think you can capture Skira in writing better than you could with drawing, that's fine.
However, NO NUDITY. You can draw her looking a little sexy (since she does that on purpose anyway) but no miniskirts or cleavage shots. I will accept low levels of blood/gore.

Who-ee. Sorry for the long character info. But the more there is, the better a picture of the character you can get! :D



Submissions due April 28th. Entries go in the "April 2012 - Skira" folder.
And remember to put "MonthlyOC" somewhere either in the title or in the artist's comment somewhere.

Deviants

Haven't sent this out since January. Eesh.


Please note that if you respond to your own comment, or to someone else's comment, I will not be notified of it. If you have additional information you forgot to add in your first post, please just comment again, otherwise I'll never get notified in my message center.
And please remember that you can ask to be added or removed from the list, or make changes to anything, at any time, not just when I update it. And as always I encourage everyone to check back here in case they want to support other group members in anything. :)


[If you commented and you're not on here yet, just be patient.]



[I found this neat commission guide a while ago, if you want to check it out: [link] ]


Do you take commissions? Open to requests or art trades? Always return llamas? Comment here to get your name added to the appropriate section!
-Be sure to comment again if you're no longer taking commissions, requests, etc.
-For commissions, please include a little information - "prices starting at $5" "100 points for lineart" "I'll do anything", that sort of thing.
--Unless noted, payment is listed in U.S. Dollar that means if you should tell me if your preferred payment is in a different currency

//If you no longer want to be listed anywhere or you have any changes to make, please comment again//
Oh look it says this twice for some reason.

And keep in mind that this is MEMBERS ONLY. If you're only a watcher, you won't be listed here.

If any of these people interest you, go ahead and check out their page. No need to contact the group about it. :)
When we upgrade to SuperGroup, we'll be able to post example thumbs here too

*Members are now in random order.

If you have a special request of something to be added, feel free to ask.
What I mean is, the RP section was only added when someone asked about it, because I totally hadn't thought of it.
And it doesn't have to be OC-related, either.

Well, welcome to the group!

The way the OC Poster thing works: Each month, there's an OC, anyone who wants to draws it. At the end of the month, the person whose OC it is picks their favorite of the other artwork, and if you're the one who drew that person's favorite art, then you're the Poster for the next month.

Like, Bob is the Poster for February, and then Bob liked Doug's art of Bob's OC the best, so then Doug's the Poster for March.

I hope that explained some things. ^^' I'm pretty bad at explaining things clearly in a small number of words.

Yep! You can submit up to three pictures of the same OC every month (although no one ever has), and you can keep drawing every month for as long as you want.

We also have a special event just for people who have drawn an OC of the Month but haven't been a Poster yet.
