Been working on an internet persona for myself.

...what is says in the title, really! Here's the thinking behind it:

Previously, I'd used the image of Liëkadeer as myself. However, as I gained more deer, and some deer became more prominent than others, this became rather obsolete.

I began to have a separation.


(^terrible old picture, but you get the idea)

Then, one day, I couldn't sleep at night. This is how most ideas of mine start. xD
As usual, I began to doodle in my diary.
This is what happened.



On looking at this in the morning, the idea grew. I decided to think it out more, decide on clothes, colours, how much of the real human me I wanted to come through.

For those who are interested in the character-creation process, it goes something like this:

    - Let the idea ferment in the mind.
    - Suddenly and out of the blue decide to doodle (with a biro. No rubbing out is very important) the first things that come into your head.

    - Annotate the hell out of your doodles.

    - Repeat the above as many times as necessary.

Here's the editors cut of the biro doodles:

(if you can't read anything, I can translate! Laughing out loud) (and if you're unsure as to why the pose is familiar, I was thinking of this and this)


Then I decided to do a more srs drawing at school.

And I was really pleased with it.

I loved it.

But the STUPID EVIL SCANNER took away the quality, BLURRED IT, DULLED IT and CHANGED ALL THE COLOUR.



This isn't a final, I'm still in the planning stage. But imagining something really not very far off from this. 8D ...only I wouldn't constantly have a frying pan. I just wanted one at the time. That goes for all the extras, except for the glasses, because I've decided to come out of the speccy closet. Laughing out loud Glasses can be great. Vic Reeves and Greg Proops have taught me such.

And a vital part of the planning is feedback and ideas. What do you think? What do you associate with me? How did you imagine me before?
Any and every comment is useful, so PLEASE do! Any thoughts at all!

Very interesting process

Very interesting process Liëka! I've been thinking of drawing a persona for myself too, it has been a while since I had one. I dumped her, because she wasn't really me anymore. I don't know you that well, so I can't really say if that's typically you. But I can say that it's an unique character, haven't seen anything like it! Laughing out loud

Did you leave out the wolf tail? I actually found it quite charming XD

Yeah, I decided against it

Yeah, I decided against it as a permanent thing, but I think it could depend on the drawing whether it appears or not, I'm not really sure. I think I'd go for not more often, but depends on the mood. Like the top hat, gentleman's walking cane and frying pan, I suppose. Sticking out tongue
Thanks for replying!
