Fairy-Tale Traveler WIP and critique
-
Hi everyone, This is my first character sheet and I was wondering if I’m on the right track. Is there enough shape design to make the character unique? Do you get a sense of a back story and are the gestures ok? Any critique is welcome! Thanks.

@joosterwijk Are you going for old? I think the prompt says young and naive. Yours looks more like they are wise and could kick someone's butt. I still like her though.

@joosterwijk I love this idea! I am not the person to answer whether it's effective as a character sheet or not, but here are some reactions to the character and poses.
I'm getting pond lily pad or lotus flower from her hat, and maybe frog-ish from her body shape and big wide feet. I really love her duck mount. Is that a fish egg she's smiling at? I am not sure if that's the same round object I see on her belt, or not. She definitely strikes me as a determined, stubborn person, and not somebody to be underestimated.
In the seated pose, is she unhappy about her foot wrappings? I am wondering if maybe having a pose where her feet are unwrapped would help explain her, too. -
@chrisaakins HAHAHA! @joosterwijk I like the silhouette and the character but especially the oversized duck companion oh wait I see she is just tiny very cool
-
@chrisaakins I was going for determined, but not old, haha. I’m going to look into that, thanks!

@Valerie-Light Thanks, Valerie! I’m going to work on that sitting pose, maybe indeed show her feet more. The little fish in the globe will emit light and is the same as on her belt. Maybe it is one element too much.
-
@Asyas_illos Thanks! She is very tiny (but if you pick her up see will bite
)

@joosterwijk no I don't think it's one element too much- I think it'll be clearer once there's color. It's a cool idea!
