hmm, what about drawing poster for potential movie-prequel to TV series?

Oooh, I have an idea! How about "draw a background character?" These are characters in the movies or TV show that don't really say anything (one or two quick lines at most) but appear in the background to add diversity. I think it would inspire people to look at the largely ignored characters of the series, and maybe even give them stories of their own

I could get behind that idea! Perhaps I can give my Elsie idea a try.

Okay, I'll make it official then.

The new prompt is to draw a background character. These are characters in the movies or TV show that don't really say anything (one or two quick lines at most) but appear in the background to add diversity.

suggested by DarkWolf91, good one

Since the first round has already taken too long and we're already in the middle of April, I propose that we'll let this run for a few weeks and then I'll ask whether anybody is still working on their contribution and deciding thereupon how long this second round will take, okay?

Hoping for more participation this time and I'll try to get my lazy butt on an entry too this time

PS: Oh, and I think Elsie would count as such a character even though she has a little more than just 1-2 lines but characters like Mo, Ali etc. would be too much "Foreground"? I dunno :unsure:

Sneak · **Reply #24 on:** April 20, 2017, 05:31:27 PM

background character? I have one. VERY SPECIAL one...
(does it count if he appears only in 6 seconds in single movie?)

Ducky123 · **Reply #25 on:** April 20, 2017, 06:49:44 PM

Yes, that counts. In fact, that's exactly the kind of character we are looking for now

Yes, I think Elsie could slide since we don't know anything about her backstory and she only appeared in one scene, but I do think Mo/Ali/other recurring characters who were central to their movie plots have a bit too much story and personality already associated with them for this prompt. They are more like "supporting characters" than "background characters"

EDIT: And I would also say that most of the sharpteeth "villians" can be included in this prompt too... since they don't technically have speaking lines we can understand

yay! can legally draw Sharptooth from first movie! ^^

What? He's just some background insignificant character... :blink:

I'm not sure about the Sharptooth from the first movie. He kinda is a significant character, isn't he? :unsure:

Hmmmmm, that's true. While I would prefer to see people draw more minor characters, I think Sharptooth would technically be allowed, seeing as there is almost no official information regarding his history, motive, personality (other than obsessive and bloodthirsty, haha), etc. In a lot of ways he is treated more like a malignant.force of nature than an actual character, which is an issue that many people have addressed in fanfiction

fail
it was just a joke.

Sharptooth is one of seven main characters in original movie. Of course, calling his "backgroud character" will cause his anger toward you. You don't want he comes for you, right?

Ah, I see!

Yes, I imagine he would not like that very much

Sneak · **Reply #33 on:** May 18, 2017, 09:49:08 AM

c'mon, guys and gals.
can't wait to see at least single art responce! :3

Edit:

offtop question: I wanted to tell an idea about new forum competition(s), but I was afraid to unintentionally spam Rock Circle folder.
So here is the question: is there on the forum special threads for suggesting new ideas, games, competitions, and other stuff?
thank you

ADFan185 · **Reply #34 on:** May 18, 2017, 02:05:55 PM

People must be extremely busy to submit there art work to this thread so be patient with them

Thanks for the bump, is anybody working on their entries? I know DarkWolf is pretty busy but what about the others? As for me... art block <_<

In case of doubt, the Rock Circle is the place to go... if it's more like a project, maybe the projects forum? A quick PM to one of the admins is usually helpful too (I can tell you I had quite a few of them when asking where to put my Civ 4 story

) rhombus and nick are most active so chances are highest if you contact them

Sneak · **Reply #36 on:** May 20, 2017, 04:03:03 AM

thank you, Ducky.

DarkWolf91 · **Reply #37 on:** May 23, 2017, 02:36:11 PM

I'm still working! I have a convention to get through this weekend, but after that I should hopefully be able to post something

ADFan185 · **Reply #38 on:** May 23, 2017, 04:25:55 PM

That's good take your time no need to rush at all your life is more important. So don't feel like you need to feel like this is the most important thing in your life.

Ducky123 · **Reply #39 on:** May 24, 2017, 05:50:06 AM

Ah okay

Anybody else working on something (or planning to?)
