This is one of my characters for the #OYIC group! I'll be making one more that goes along with this character. I only lined her head shot and body in this picture. The head, face and hair on the main body are just the sketchy lines because line art just was not coming out right for me tonight.

I designed her using this method: [link] and it was a lot of fun!
The songs I ended up getting for her, in order, are as follows:
1. If I Die Young - The Band Perry, the Christian the Lion & Glitchdick Remix [link]
2. Hate Me - Blue October [link]
3. Leave my Body - Florence + the Machine [link]
4. Just a Little Bit - Maria Mena [link]
5. Crashed - Daughtry [link]

Okay! Character stuff:

Name: Holli Therda
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Occupation: Witch and traveler

Personality: Holli isn't exactly a people pleaser, but she isn't a big fan of confrontation or arguments. She is very polite, studious, cautious, easily embarrassed by the actions of those around her and very, very passive aggressive. She doesn't pick up very well on humor so she comes off often times as naive. She never works well under pressure and often gets nervous when people watch her do magic or tell her to hurry up about something. Because she possess no defensive spells she is a little bit dependent on those around her to do a lot of the dirty work, but that makes her very loyal to those who help her. Holli has strong convictions, and while she avoids confrontation at all cost if push comes to shove she will push right back, at least verbally.

Background / History: Holli was born in a world full of islands, trade and magic. She came from a middle class family of witches and wizards and worked very hard at being good at what she does. In her teen years Holli took up travel was a way to broaden her studies and eventually came to own a book entitled Universal Magic and How to do It. The book proved very helpful to Holli, though odd. The book itself was more then an ordinary spell book, for half the time the pages were blank, or switching order or in languages Holli couldn't read. When it began to fly around after her Holli realized that she had better use her bond with the book to teach it just as it taught her.

The more she traveled, the more Holli got the sense that she was being followed. It wasn't until she was almost violently robbed in a trade port that she began living on the run. She acquired a sail boat and began moving around constantly. She looked into the darker portion of the book's spells and found one that offered her powerful protection. Disregarding the warning the book spelled out for her out of fear for her own life she performed it.

The result was the inability to ever cast defensive spells again, but in return she had summoned a lanky, immortal, mythical creature of a man. Their personalities clashed terribly but he was bound to protect her and so now the pair travel her world, making a living and performing tasks the book sporadically demands of them.

I'll write more about the man later, once I create his character sheet~
The things I want to improve this year really are:
- Hands
- Noses
- Poses
- Male Anatomy
- Backgrounds

Hopefully this pair will help me do just that.

I am doing critiques tonight, not sure how extensive you want me to be? Heh he.

Her hairstyle is great. I like that you added a little style to it, partly pulled up and the little messy bun.

I like the colors you picked for her dress, I like that the top part is see through.
I love a girl with an hourglass figure!

Now this could be a touchy subject, her bust. Even girls will small breast you can still see a little bit of definition. You could do a sweetheart neckline [link] which would give her more breast definition without making them look bigger if you wanted small or medium size.

Also eyebrows, her eyes are really expressive, but I think eyebrows would help make her even more expressive.

I hope that was helpful and not like too much...

Ohh thank-you! I wasn't expecting to get one of these so soon.
You're very sweet.

I'll try and work on the bust issue a little, I'm sure there is a way to show she has curves while maintaining the look I want for the dress.

I'll take it all into consideration, thanks!

That is tricky. Doesn't youtube still have that random function when you play favorites as a playlist?
