Caddris (Sep 13, 2005)

This is Caddris (using the "dd"="th" sound from celtic origins I believe), my screen-name sake. And yes, I look nothing like he does. . . he is, in fact, a he as where I am a she. He's an elf. And before you start railing against the stereotypical Tolkeinian elf I would just like to say that I dislike those ever so depressing the-world-is-ending-but-we're-still-here-untill-we-all-die-out type elves too. Unlike his austere cousins, Caddris makes it a point to be as irreverent as possible. Besides which he's really quite vain. ^__^ I take a weird sort of pride in my characters' personality flaws.

I'll finish later but right now I have to go dissect a cat in my anatomy lab. . .

Oh, wow! I really like this linework. This will be a great drawing once it's finished! And bah, some of us like our elves angsty XD

And perhaps you should make his forehead a bit higher; it seems a bit too short/pushedback/sloped.

Cool character! I like that he's not perfect, it gives him more personality. As opposed to other people's chars that are just there to be cute.

Blah. It took me how long to find a good skin tone? I have serious artist and writers block right now. ;__; I just need to take my time and finish this one slowly.

And thanks for all the comments. ^__^

Yay! Lines! And yay! Glasses! :D He's cute. I'd date him even if he was a vain prick. >>;; Maybe I'm just weird.

But I think he's tre sexy. XD

It's almost done. . . in the sense that the semester is almost over. . . Anyway, I decided to be fickle and completely changed his skin tone after spending nearly an hour last night finding the previous one. But look! I have shading too! o.O

o.O Hair! And look, he has invisible glasses! e___e; I just need to clean up the lines, add glasses, decide if I like the mouth the way it is, think of an interesting bacground, do said interesting backgrund, and then I'll be done. Hopefully by then I will not have run out of space. -__-;

Cleaning lines. I'm still at a loss as far as backgrounds go.

It's finished now. The background's still weak but it was the best I could come up with. ^___^; Oh, well. The text is actually Caddris' profile. I find that writing out everything I can on a character helps me get a stronger sense of his personality and who he is. My characters be come very much real to me. Really, there isn't much that separates a real person from a fictional one. After all, if I can be like Decarte and doubt the existance of everyone but myself then there really is nothing that separates reality from fiction.
Ooooh, I'm being pseudo-philisophical. e_e;

Anywho.
Geez. Sexy elf. XD He's so cool. Those glasses=spiff. Seriously. He's awesome. And the hair looks like hair. >>;; I can't draw hair.
