Firestarter

Create a character with a fire theme!

Does your character have fire related powers? Are they made of fire itself? Are they simply a fiery person or tend to gravitate towards warm colors? Are they tied to a myth related to fire, or have a job that requires them to work with fire?

It’s entirely up to you, get wild with it- as long as your character has some relation to or theming surrounding fire, it’s fair game!

Create a character related to fire in any way you can think of!

We would love to know the thought process behind your character design choices as well, if you’re willing.

She’s lump, she’s lump, she’s lump (she’s in my head)

Meet Mono, my submission for the Rhythm and Rhyme character design challenge from @chaotic-crafters-dc!

The challenge was to design a character based on a song - Mono is based off of Monody by TheFatRat. He had a partner named Dei who disappeared many years ago, and he's been searching for her since.

Had lots of fun with this, and I'm excited for the next prompt!

Rhythm and Rhyme!

Create a character based off of a song!

Is there a song out there with lyrics so oddly specific that you can’t help but make an image in your head? Is there a song out there that simply has such a specific vibe that you can’t shake it? Is there a song that makes you think of a color, an animal, a type of person or anything else? Well, you’re in luck- now’s your chance to take advantage of that, and pick a song for our first challenge to make a character!

Create a character based off of a song- whether it be based on the lyrics, or just the general vibe. And be sure to share what song you pick to do so!

We would love to know the thought process behind your character design choices as well, if you’re willing! Make sure to tag your posts with #chaoticcraftersdc and tag us so that we can see your work. (We are on Instagram and Twitter as well, if you post there!)

Cozy Companion

This prompt card was sketched traditionally by me and digitized by the lovely @dragon-spaghetti

Create a character based off of a stuffed animal!

This challenge prompt is all about creating a character based off of plushies! Is it a plush you’ve had and loved for years? Is it one you saw in passing but wish you could have gotten? Is there a plush you’ve seen pictures of online that you love the concept behind?

This prompt is a tad more specific! We want to see if you can take an existing plush and make it into a character of your own!

Secret Identity

Create a character who has a secret identity or alter ego!

Are they a villain, a hero? Do they have a job they secretly do on the weekend? Are they a secret agent, a part time rockstar with a mysterious identity? Anything goes, as long as you create a character who has a secret identity of some kind, whether serious or silly. If you want to have extra fun, you can try to illustrate more than one version of your character- both in and out of costume, perhaps?

It’s entirely up to you, get wild with it- it’s all fair game, as long as your character’s story involves the prompt somehow!

We would love to know the thought process behind your character design choices as well, if you’re willing.

Have fun, artists- let’s get chaotic, let’s get creative!

A date has been decided on for the first prompt post and that will be APRIL 5TH!
