I got tagged to share 8 facts of an OC by CinnaMonroe who chose Kareen, my demon OC.
[RULES]:

1) Post these Rules
2) Post 8 Facts about your OC/Character
3) Tag 8 other OCs/characters
4) Post their names as well as their owners
5) (( NO TAG BACKS XD ))

1. Kareen was originally designed in my Intro to Animation class in my early years of college. I had drawn a back view of a demon girl with a tail so that I could learn overlapping animation (like a tail swinging, a flag waving, etc. etc.) I liked the pencil drawing so much, I took one still of the animation and colored it in. Thus Kareen was born. (image below)

2. Her attire was based off a video game character, though if you were to ask me which character I wouldn't be able to tell you. I was having a hard time thinking of an outfit for her when drawing her for my class (and, being the procrastinator that I am) I didn't even start the assignment until 11pm the night before it was due. And at the time I was on Skype with a few friends and they sent me links to female characters they liked from games they played and one of them just struck a chord with me. 

3. Her name was just something I just kind of made up, I think lol. I noticed that I tend to lean towards names that start with M, maybe it's because my name starts with an M...anywho, I kept looking at M names for her and thinking, "I need something else. Something almost...plain." Karen is a pretty plain name (sorry if your name is Karen, it's a nice name but it makes me think of soccer moms who go for Sunday brunches and compete with each other over whose kid is better and passive aggressive post-it notes) so I just added an "e" in the middle. Perfection. She doesn't have a last name. she might get one later idunnoyet

4. Kareen likes watching humans and their interactions. She finds watching humans to be almost better than TV. (she really, REALLY likes those overly dramatic daytime shows.) Her favorite hang out spots to watch humans are nightclubs, libraries, college campuses, and high end restaurants. She has a belief that those are the four places where the most drama happens so that's where she is a majority of the time. House Parties are another, though she'll only go to those if she gets an invitation. She respects boundaries so if she isn't invited, she won't go.

5. There is a demon hierarchy that is generally followed to a T, but sometimes demons veer off on their own course. I'd explain the hierarchy but it's kind of long and complicated so to make a long story short: there are 5 classes of demons. A, B, C, D, E and S. Imagine A-E is a ranking of 1-10 and S is 11-20. There are sub-classes in S, but I'm trying to keep this simple Kareen's parents were a B and S demon. Kareen's rank is currently unknown. No one really knows what to make of her. The B class parent died when Kareen was very young and the S class parent never acknowledged her leaving Kareen orphaned. A C class demon who found Kareen took her in and raised her as his own.

6. Kareen likes to be seductive just because she can. She likes to make men, and sometimes women, squirm under her charms. It's another form of entertainment for her, really. She uses this to her advantage as well; making someone fall for her so they'll buy her new DVD box sets of her favorite shows or get her new electronic accessories. she likes to be up to date with all technology although it took her 5 years to finally understand how a smart phone works

7. She absolutely adores cats and will never say no to anything cat themed, no matter how dumb it is. There's just something about cats, y'know?

8. Kareen doesn't like big open spaces. Small empty spaces are fine; those are almost cozy. Just large, open fields with no one but her and the wind for miles is something she isn't fond of. It's the only reason she doesn't like flying; the open skies are too open and blank. She'd rather walk or lightly flutter around near the ground instead.

TAGS:
I don't really have anyone to tag, lol.
Whoever sees this and wants to do it, go for it!

Hey there all!

This is my wishlist for EmilssH's secret santa! >><da:thumb id="559337134"/>

I'm willing to draw anything, really, except for anything hard-surface (like robots) or entirely furry characters. Ears and tails are fine! I'm even willing to try out an automail piece here and there, if your character has it.

I'll be submitting a full colored image, seeing as it's Christmas. Going all out!

Any gender is fine. :D

What I'd like to be drawn for me are my OC Kareen:

My OC Inari:

Redraw Thingy by CovertMermaid  Virtuoso by CovertMermaid

My OC Keiichi:

Keiichi and Eri by CovertMermaid (he just has regular jeans and some black vans. Sorry there's no reference for the bottom half of him, yet)

Or any merman/mermaid. I'm just a huge fan of undersea creatures. :3

Just any one character is good! You can change their outfits around, but try to keep the same color scheme UNLESS you're going to put them in Christmas-y attire. That's about it! Thank you and have a wonderful Holiday!

Yo!

I've not been drawing a lot recently and I want to change that ASAP so I've opened up some art trades! What I provide will be the same level you do: sketch for a sketch, bust for a bust, full body for a full body, etc. SO HIT ME UP IN A NOTE OR SUMMIN'. 


Peace.

Since it's Christmas I'm willing to go all out for The Secret Santa's present! Meaning: full body with color and some light shading.

I prefer drawing girls, but I can totally draw men as well. I'm fine with animal parts, examples being: ears, tails or possibly even feet. Just nothing entirely fury, please. I've also never really drawn older persons (I'm thinking more senior aged characters) or toddlers, so anything in those age ranges I would like to avoid if only to make sure the gift is actually presentable rather than mediocre.

What I would like drawn is my OC, Kareen.

Or 


Any type of mer-creature. I really love under the sea type of characters and would love just about anything that has fins or a tail.
