#the commodities oc

It's that band of five again. The title Midnight Sale is a name the group would like to call their first album. The picture may or may not be the album cover art, though.

Vrame is the primary guitarist for The Commodities. She usually performs as the lead guitarist, but she's actually said to prefer operating as the bass guitarist. She also serves as the lead female vocalist, a role she serves to great effect. Despite her eye-catching guitar and the highly-contrasting black/white color scheme of her clothes, Vrame is actually the quietest member of the group. She scarcely speaks, and usually relies more on "show, don't tell" to get her point across. This is contrary to popular belief about the other Commodities members, who are usually considered more silent than she is.

The keyboardist for The Commodities. She usually alternates with either a piano or a MIDI keyboard, while also playing around with sound mixing in both accounts. Zoe can easily be identified as the most vocal and emotional member of the group. People (to her dismay) like to compare her as a ship against a stormy sea--similar to how the ocean's turbulent waves rock a ship across the water, Zoe slowly but surely can drift from one demeanor to another. The other Commodities members don't deny this, but they are far more lenient about her swinging moods compared to the general public. Her instrumental skills, however, are widely agreed to be consistently mellow.

The drummer for The Commodities. She is partial to either making full use of a drumset or banging onto a small individual drum. She also is favorable to drumming with her hands as well as drumming with her drumsticks (though, of course, it depends on the drum in question). Despite her usually warm and bright looks and demeanor, Kolumbia is actually the most analytical and sharp-minded member of the band. She is the one you can expect to push forward the most inquiries available about a particular topic, until she's exhausted every inquiry she can think of. The other Commodities like to quip she can come up with questions almost as fast as she can hit notes. Kolumbia herself has asserted that's far from true--she says she can only come up with a new quiz every for every eight notes she hits. Stay tuned for the other Commodities members.

The Commodities' backup musician. Odonis is a jack of all trades, but he does have more of an edge on the guitar than the others. He also does vocals, but him doing so is relatively uncommon. Odonis could best be summarized as soft-spoken. He almost never raises his voice in his music, and even less so when not jamming. He comes off as rather unsettling to some who don't know him, as his voice rarely wavers from his usual tone. Odonis however feels people are suspicious of him due to his dull reddish eyes, rather than his vocal monotone. Other Commodities members still in the pipeline.

Title is exactly what it says on the tin, with the Commodities member Vrame (you say it as "frame") overlooking the shore. This was primarily a piece where I'm getting back to working with manually shaded colors (as opposed to using the gradient tool) and working with the colored pencil tool.

I've noticed that ever since I introduced the Commodities band a couple of years back, that I've never actually depicted them in color with their full designs / profiles. So I made sure to get the ball rolling on that with my new character profiles pretty quickly, starting with Kolumbia.

Other Commodities members are coming soon.
