For Cwalen (who asked publicly) and MelloYell (who restated Cwalen's request).
And thanks to the player who supplied me information on their physical appearances.
I present: Jessy and Sydnie Blue.
Image

A Brief Explanation of the Thought Process While Drawing:
I've always imagined Jessy as having semi-long wavy hair (based on the description, which implies that his hair is long enough to hide his eyes). I put the hat thing in there because (1) I wanted to be able to see his eyes and the hat provided a good excuse as to why his hair was out of his face, and (2) I was too lazy to come up with a hairline for him, which would've probably ended up more feminine than masculine anyway if I had, and that would be awkward considering that Jessy is, in fact, male. You can probably tell I'm not all that used to drawing men. I also envisioned him as having light hair, maybe a dirty honey-blonde or something (his chardesc doesn't specify), but obviously it didn't turn out like that (I feel like it implies brown more than dirty-blonde, but whatever).

Sydnie's supposed to be resting her head on his shoulder, hence the way her head and his head are turned. I don't know if this conveys that very well, but that was the intent. And as for my leaving out the blueberry stains, I just didn't feel like adding them (mostly because they would've probably ended up looking phony, and I wouldn't have been able to let myself show it here publicly).

I used two reference images (for things such as proportions, facial shapes, etc): for Sydnie's face, I used a small statue I was given several years ago at Easter. For Jessy, I used the man on the cover of a book I have.

Materials Used: Um...just regular paper that happens to be in a hardcover sketchbook, and a #2 mechanical pencil


....Maybe I'm adding just a little bit too much fanfare about this here. xD

Not enough fanfare to match my praise.

And you have the benefit of knowing the two characters.

Piscator showed me a sketch (that I hope will be shared) that seemed to capture them quite well as well, off a really basic data scrape and whatever they got through the forum.

Not so much forum research as lucky guesses I'm afraid.

I know. I'm still working on putting it together, and it's difficult because I'm on my phone right now. But I'm working on it!

You'll probably guess who'd sent me the description, but I'll leave the giving of further details to the person in question. :wink:

Seconded. I don't know why, but she reminded me of the children in the "Rule of Rose" videogame *shudders*
