Do you have an idea for a character? Send me your idea and I’ll try to make it a reality!
General Request Guidelines
- Licensed or insufficiently described characters will not be accepted. Seriously, if I have to guess too much neither of us will be happy and I may not be able to fill the request and I don’t want to infringe on someone else’s IP as a rule of basic conduct.
- All requests currently will be generated via ePic Character generator and done to the closest match possible to your request form. I will then convert the generated character into a vector and send it to you and you are free to use it for any personal/non-commercial project you choose. Character sketches as an alternate creation option are an incentive I have as a milestone on my Patreon.
- Please note that some options may not be able to be done perfectly via the character generator right now but all request forms will be kept and possibly reused in the future when I post sketches or create bases.
- There is no limit to the number of requests you can put in but depending on volume the requests may be taken non-consecutively to allow for other people’s requests to get done as well.
- Any requests deemed to be controversial,offensive,illegal or otherwise not acceptable will be rejected. You will be notified of this via e-mail depending on the situation.
- If the field is marked (if applicable) and you don’t need it please leave it blank. The form is detailed to allow for deep description but it makes the form a lot easier to read if you just leave the non-required ones you don’t need blank. Again, If it’s not a required field and you don’t need it the form will still send if nothing is selected.
- I am currently limited to what bases I have (adult male and female) and do not have a readily available base for non-binary characters or children. If you would like to request a non-binary character, please let me know in the additional character notes and I can try my best to piece together the character by mixing from different packs in the generator. It will still be pretty experimental and results will be mixed. I will also need as many visual references as possible.
- Please do not select more characters than what qualifies for your current tier. I will only take the number of slots applicable in number. For example, if you’re a 7$ patron and fill in five slots I will only process the max slots available for your tier and use slots 1-3.
- If you choose to suggest a character that is an unlisted or original race,results may vary and postwork will likely be required. Please be aware that this may increase the time it takes to complete your request and it will be the closest match but likely not a perfect one. If it is an original race, please provide as much visual reference as possible.
- I did the best I could to test the new form but please let me know by messaging me on Patreon if you find bugs or have issues.
- You can now input up to three different looks,hairstyles and props for your character. At least one hairstyle and outfit are required per character. You can also have multiples of and not the other. For instance, you can have three hairstyles but only one outfit.
- If you would like to request one character with multiple forms just choose the number of slots that fits the number of the character’s forms and specify in the additional notes they are all forms of the same character.
- If you are requesting 2-5 characters, it would really help me out if you specify what kind of group it is. I’ve tried to include what I thought were the most likely options that would apply but it makes it easier for me to create the characters if I understand their relationship.
- Please note that not all bases have the same clothing,prop and skin options. I’ve tried to indicate which options may have limited options like skins,clothing etc. and I will try my best to supplement the more limited bases in postwork when possible.
- Each look for your character will be put together by number. For example, the first look will consist of the first hairstyle,outfit and prop. Please keep this in mind while filling out the form and set up your options accordingly. If you have more of some items than the other I will use my best judgement or you can specify how you’d like it put together in the notes for the character.
- If your character is bald I will still need you to specify a hex color to be applied to the eyebrows.
- Any requests submitted by parties that pledge,send the request and then cancel their pledge afterwords will be thrown out. Character requests require active patronage to qualify.
How many characters can I request?
- $3 patrons can only request one character at a time
- $7 & $12 patrons can request 1-3 characters at a time
- Patrons $25+ can request 1-5 characters at a time
- If are not in a tier you can still request a character. Just go by whatever contribution amount is closest. If you are pledging under $3 for instance you can request one at a time. If you aren’t sure about it you can message me on Patreon and we can figure it out.
Here’s what’s New as of 9/12/21!
New render style available!-You can now get your character rendered to look like beautiful painted concept art.
- You can now request vector conversion or a concept art render on characters you created from the PSD file from previous character requests.
- You can now add a stand,token or card to your characters.
- You can now specify delivery,licensing and render options per character instead of having the same settings for every character.
Here’s what’s New as of 12/24/20!
- I’ve taken out any options that can’t really be done via ePic so you won’t be filling out fields I can’t actually use but left areas where you can still specify special requests like original races or options not on the form.
- I’ve increased the options for scenery items,props,outfits and hairstyles.
- I’ve created options for requesting 1-5 characters so you can request couples,quest parties ,multi-form characters,teams and even families as well as a slot to specify what kind of group/couple it is.
- I’ve increased the number of files that can be attached so you can put in more reference images.
- I’ve added an option to request a vector base set of your character which will be a nude version of the character with just the hair and any additional body parts like wings,tails etc.
- I’ve added an option where you can request to see a draft of the character before I do the vector conversion.
- I’ve changed the color selection to use hex codes for better color accuracy in your character request.
- I’ve added a slot to choose your vector preference based on what program you plan to use the files with.
- I’ve added a slot to specify if the character is a gift for someone else.
- I’ve added a slot to specify if you want me to share/post your request or if you want it to stay exclusive.
