Over the past year and a half I have been commissioned quite a bit to design original character concept art. So here I have put together a basic questionnaire list that you can submit the answers to if you are interested in commissioning for such a type of commission piece.
- Hair style (long, short, shoulder length?)
- If female, flat chested, big chested, or average?
- Are they tall or short?
- Are they skinny, athletic, chubby?
- Any particular theme for them? (Are they cat like, want a water theme, animal theme, plant theme?)
- Are they considered non-human?
- Roughly how old are they? adult, child, teenager?
- Any sort of background history on them? (this helps me figure them out, and how they would probably look)
- Personality? Do you know of the type of personality they have? Are they kind and sweet? Or are they mean and closed off? Are they more of a villain or a hero?
- Color scheme!, what type of colors do you want in their design?
- Eye color
- Hair Color
- Skin Color
- Do they have any sort of skin markings, tattoos? piercings? deformities? birth marks? scars?
- Clothing style?
- What type of weather are they dressed for?
- What particular time era should their clothes represent or bring ideas from?
