Oh my, thank you Daft!
that is a phrase I have never heard of! lol
And I'm glad you like it!!!
it gives me the warm fuzzies.
For character backgrounds, I can give you Shihan's and Ana's for now. (Seeing as the backgrounds of my Pokemon OC's are a secret.... for now..
)
First off, these two characters are from a world inhabited by monsters and humans. The monsters in this world hunt people for food, so there are qualified monster hunters among the humans to keep them at bay. Ana lives in the capitol of this world, but it isn't all that magnificent. It has a run-down feeling to it, but it's still vastly large and has thousands of inhabitants. The President is kind of warped, and has these monster battles for the imprisoned monsters. The winning monster of these battles is spared its life if it wins. But of course that is never the outcome... they are killed anyway, but the citizens are oblivious to it.
Before I elaborate more on Ana, I need to tell you all about Shihan first. Shihan was the product of a monster and human. But it isn't your typical beauty and the beast story with his parents. His mother was offered up as a tribute to the monster king in order to spare their town from monster invasions and such. Soon after, stuff happens and wala! She's pregnant. But she dies giving birth to Shihan, which is sad.
So the monster king raises him to be the heir to the throne and to hate all humans, but Shihan was gentle like his mom and didn't want to kill living things. So his daddy had to resort to extreme measures to brainwash him. At a young age, he locked Shihan in a damp stone room with no windows all by himself, and chained him to the floor. He then forced him to eat human flesh for the rest of his life. Shihan never left that room, and slowly began to lose his mind. But, he managed to escape his prison one day, and ran away from his father. Although he has severe mental and traumatic issues, he still wishes to be like the humans. (even though a half-breed is considered an abomination...) So he now roams the back alleys of towns, roaming from place to place, trying to to get spotted by people. He found out the hard way not to approach people, because the woman screamed in his face and threw something at him before running away... But what I like about Shihan is that he never gives up, even in his mental state.
Now, onto Ana. She's an orphan living in the slums of the capitol with other fellow homeless and/or poor people. She has heterochromia, one eye is purple and the other is red!
She has a fascination with monsters. She believes monsters and humans can live in peace one day, but everyone is against her, saying it isn't possible. Even though her parents were murdered by monsters, she still has high hopes for this dream of hers. But once she runs into Shihan on her daily routine to the marketplace, worlds collide. It takes a while to break his shell, but she eventually gets him to speak, and eventually consider her a friend. She then begins to teach him human ways. This makes him want to learn more and more about his human roots, and more about his mother. It's a great risk for Ana to be with a mentally unstable monster, but Ana being Ana, she is extremely optimistic and believes in Shihan. Shihan has never been treating so kindly before, so he's not sure how to react to Ana.
Here's a pencil sketch of Shihan. :3 I'm really attached to him.
Sadly, The person I drew my last picture of Shihan and Ana for died last night... He was a good friend of mine, and I hope he's remembered through Shihan. They shared similar pasts (not in the literal sense. I'm sure his parents didn't make him eat human flesh). He lived to be 22 with Cystic Fibrosis. May he rest in peace. :'(
I might write a story about these two later, once I get farther on my pokemon fanfiction.... I'm also trying to work on a manga/comic of mine called Monster House. I created the characters for it a year ago, and I got a few pages in pencil, but I wish I had more time to work on it...
Here's a picture of them!
I drew this last summer...
From left to right is Anton the Vampire, Anya the Human, Eric the Zombie, Sam the Werewolf, Monique the Mermaid
Wesley the Robot, Thera (Theresa) the Witch, Simon the Ghost, Victor the Fairy, and Kevin the Alien!
Here's another picture of them! I put this one on a mug. :3
I am also debating whether or not to open commissions... I've been extremely busy these past few weeks.
but I believe I will be able to in due time.
wow, this is a lengthy post.... I'll post some character descriptions of my Monster House people a little later. :3
