Monster University Project

This is the topic for my visual novel, Monster University.
--- Concept Art --- (THANKS to MewBerry101, the creator of said concept artwork!!)

Uniform Sketches:

Flat and v1 sketch

Textured and v2 sketch

Character Sketches:

Atsuko Hakurei

I'm really glad you like the uniforms Are there any characters or anything you were wanting me to draw?

Well, next one would be a character. I would like it to be Atsuko Hakurei, but I'd like it in a style where it like the following, only with expressions.
She has the following features...and BTW, she's a junior.
Megurine Luka figure
Ice blue eyes
Orange that changes to white on the tips
A tomboyish expression
And she and the other female students will have the summer uniform on. She also has white panties.
And here are her expressions:
Happy
Determined
P.O.ed
Dissapointed
Impressed

Sorry, I'm having a little difficulty understanding ^^;
~When you say 'Orange that changes to white on the tips,' what exactly are you reffering to?
~When you list her expressions and the other girls' outfits, do you mean draw many people in one picture? I mean, not that I wouldn't love to draw alot of your characters from this book, but I only have the time to do about two or maybe three

1. It has a gradient from orange to white when you reach it's tips.... which by the way, is a short, tomboy cut.
2. You are only drawing Atsuko today.

Thanks for clarifying c: Also, altogether, how many characters will I be drawing? When I said 'I only have the time to do about two or three more' I meant that long-term; I actually have alot going on at the time, so I'm afraid I can't do too many. But I'd be fine with doing a few!

Only 2 more... Kyuri Oda, and the main person. Of course, I can hold the main character till you are free again.

Alright, I'll get Atsuko Hakurei done ASAP (cool character design, by the way)

Fun fact: She is a Kitsune, and her hair clues you on this, and she also is the main character's childhood friend!

Monster Universtiy sounds like it would make a great anime, too, lol (i know the characters are anime style, but i mean like TV show anime)

Awwww, thanks! I might be able to do that once I find the proper people to do voices and make the cel work. (I don't want you to do everything art related, I just want you doing the concept art)

Haha, if this becomes a real anime, I'll definitely be watching it ^^ And it's really cool that I get to do the concept art, I've never done that for a visual novel before c:

I'm glad you like doing concept art.

Okay, so I know you said 'short tomboy cut,' but I was just curious which hairstyle it was more like.

(the character above is not a boy, she's a girl)
or

(I do not claim any of the above pictures as my own)

Also, what kind of shoes will she be wearing?

Atsuko's hair is more along the lines of Haruhi's hair style. And her shoes will be high heels in black. (the school allows customization to a degree.

P.S.
The thing is, I'm kinda trying to get these girls out of MMD because I can't clothe MMD models well. I'm trying to get concept art done for those people who'll do the visual novel's cutin grapics.

Yeah, I totally get it ^^ I actually have the sketch of the concept art for your character almost completely done, now all I have to do is redefine the lines and work on the colors. I actually think it's coming along pretty nicely! Btw, thanks for answering all my questions.

I am glad to help! Hehe.

I've had the sketch done for a little while now, and I'm halfway through the lineart. If there's anything you want me to change, it'd be most convenient if you told me now ^^ The picture is big (thats just the way my printer scans,) so I'll just give you link to it.

I would like a gold band on the left leg, near the skirt, but not quite under it. It looks semi regal, like lace.

I understand the rest, but what exactly do you mean by 'semi regal, like lace?' I looked up lace patterns, and if that's what you mean-- which is perfectly fine -- do you want the pattern to be on the edges of the band, or basically the whole band itself?

It's basically the whole band, and that is what I meant- patterned like lace.

Gotcha :>
Just because I figured you'd want an idea as to how this is coming out so far, heres a link to the lineart (I haven't put a lace pattern to the band on her leg yet, I'll do that in photoshop)~

For some reason, photobucket (that's the website I upload the pictures to) isn't doing a very good job of showing the high quality of the pictues. I don't know why, but it's probably something to do with condensing the size. If you want, when the whole picture is finished, I could try to put this on mediafire (a downloading website) so you can download it at its highest quality, but that's up to you

That looks nice! I'll also change the main topic post on the first page so you can see who's in the game, and some basic information on them, if you'd like to voice 1.

Thanks for posting the character information, its really interesting ^^ And thanks, I'm glad you like the lineart. I've got all the basic colors down, now I just have to shade. So, about the expressions, do you want me to just write those out, or to draw them?

Draw them, please.

I finished it Here's the link!

She looks AWESOME! I can't believe you brought out the apperance I tried in MMD so well! Thank you SO MUCH!

Thanks and your welcome! I'm happy to help So who would like me to draw next?

Kyuri Oda is next. Could I ask of you to stick the Oda crest somewhere, as well some features that look like you'd see them on a kappa? She's a freshman, if you must know. Oh, and here's her expression list:

"Uu-!!" (a.k.a. Happy Loli)
"Buuu...." (Unhappy Loli)
Serious
Scared (would be nice if it was like the scared faces in Higurashi)
Nipah~
Crying

She's also shorter than Luka...around Rika Furude height.

Okay, so I understand most of the emotions, but I have a couple questions (I bet you were expecting this )
~I don't really get what you mean by 'happy and unhappy loli.' Do you think you could link some pics of what you mean (if you can't, can you just describe them the best you can?)
~Kappa features are manageable, but I need to know the specific features you'd like her to have.
~What should I draw for her hair (like, color and hairstyle) and shoes?
~What color are her eyes?
And, uh... thats pretty much it ^^
