I decided to go ahead and try making some requests. First up is Qrlil, who some of you might recognize from the Character Development Threads in Writer's Block. Description, which I can add to if anyone wants:
If there's any way you can give her a "feminine" appearance without including obvious sexual characteristics (i.e. there should be no Non-Mammal Mammaries or the like), it would be good, but it's not essential.
Also, so as not to be all take and no give here, if anyone wants a drawing of their character in stick-figure style, I'd be willing to take requests, although it might take some time and I'd have no real idea how to upload them to the internet.
I KNOW IT SUCKS I'M SORRY
The last battle's curtains will open on stage!@fishsicles: Here it is my interpretation of Alice. not happy with the results but I learned a lot :D
Here it is my interpretation of Wilhelm!. This is my second attempt at drawing bodies so pardon my inaccuracies _(still learning) For some reason I thought of him as an Asian

This isn't the final version at (just a quick doodle) . I will use reference when I actually draw her for real and hopefully it will look 20%cooler

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.This is Alice for Fishcicles. I hope you like my interpretation.
Be not afraid...@Snowy Foxes, Fallen Legend, Yuval, Mr AHR: You make me feel all fuzzy and warm.
@Snowy Foxes: You really have an unfair advantage, having seen Alice's delightful breed of fun in action.
@Fallen Legend: An excellent start, though I'd be obliged if you did a bit of trimming. (My bad for not mentioning that earlier.) The delightful Psychotic Smirk, on the other hand, can stay.

-hugs Fallen Legend-
That's kind of funny, because I'm Asian and Wilhelm is an Author Avatar of sorts :P

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.Heh! I was worried when I saw the content filter, 'til I noticed it was "gore". Otherwise, that would've been... weird.
You're the second one to give her a Psychotic Smirk, which really does fit her more than the Slasher Smile I usually imagine. And thanks for paying attention re: assets, or lack thereof. :P
your welcome glad you liked it :D
Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.And I was beginning to worry nobody noticed the bloodstains! Never thought about her shoes, though. Boots are a pragmatic touch.
Once more, thank you all for reminding me why I have not yet built a super weapon capable of shattering all reality! (Well, aside from the cost and time it would take. You'd be amazed at the price of the materials involved, when you can find them at all...)

@nrjzll: I might have a go at drawing your character later this weekend.
Be not afraid...Thank heavens, and thank you - I was beginning to think I'd either been forgotten or offended everyone with my vocal dislike of manga-style art.
I think it might also be that your character is reptilian/alien? I don't know.
Be not afraid...You weren't forgotten don't worry actually I have been thinking how do it without ripping off Doctor Who Silurians . Yours will be a hard one for sure.
@Killer Clowns
I will edit my previos drawing and add that blood somewhere

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.I notice that nearly all the requests have been for pictures of humanoid characters. This one's for those of you who'd like to try something different: not so much a request, as ideas thrown out to the artists in this thread.
And so every year the day comes when the workmen remove the marble pediments, lower the stone walls, the cement pylons, take down the Ministry, the monument, the docks, the petroleum refinery, the hospital, load them on trailers, to follow from stand to stand their annual itinerary. Here remains the half-Sophronia of the shooting-galleries and the carousels, the shout suspended from the cart of the headlong roller coaster, and it begins to count the months, the days it must wait before the caravan returns and a complete life can begin again.
This is the foundation of the city: a net which serves as passage and as support. All the rest, instead of rising up, is hung below: rope ladders, hammocks, houses made like sacks, clothes hangers, terraces like gondolas, skins of water, gas jets, spits, baskets on strings, dumb-waiters, showers, trapezes and rings for children's games, cable cars, chandeliers, pots with trailing plants.
Suspended over the abyss, the life of Octavia's inhabitants is less uncertain than in other cities. They know the net will last only so long.
They rebuild Ersilia elsewhere. They weave a similar pattern of strings which they would like to be more complex and at the same time more regular than the other. Then they abandon it and take themselves and their houses still farther away.
Thus, when travelling in the territory of Ersilia, you come upon the ruins of the abandoned cities, without the walls which do not last, without the bones of the dead which the wind rolls away: spiderwebs of intricate relationships seeking a form.
All three from Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities.

this is my first vectoring attempt ever... Wow vectoring is such a pain!

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.Qrlil for Nrjxll. Hopefully that's what you were picturing.
Be not afraid...That's... pretty darn true to how I think of her, actually. The green robes are a bit jarring (I've tended to associate the qrtxians with the blue-purple-red spectrum), but that's an extreme nitpick.
Ah, sorry Green is one of my favourite colours. Do you think she looks feminine?
Be not afraid...Yes, though I can't put my finger on why - maybe it's the vaguely "eyelash"-like markings around the eyes?
(No, this is not a shameless bump).
Ahah! That's partially why I put them there.
Be not afraid...Available for a sketch or two. Samples available through my comic (in my signature).

@Loni Jay and Fallen Legend
Yay, thanks for doing it. I liked that both of you tried different perspectives.
