Describing what you want in a Design

 

If you are interested in commissioning me for a custom design but are not sure how to describe what you want, this section serves to provide you some tools and resources to assist with the process.

Color Thesaurus

Colors are hard to label—for instance, someone could say "a purple dress," but it is hard for two people to envision the same exact color. One person might think that the purple dress looks purple, whereas the other may think that the dress is actually blue.

The provided color thesaurus below is by Ingrid Sundberg.

Color Palettes

If you're not sure what exact color you want, looking at color palettes can spark some inspiration. Some color palette websites you can look at are Design-Seeds and ColorPalettes. You can also try inputting "purple color palette," or any other color that you prefer, on an online search engine.




Mood Boards

Mood boards are a great way to help describe how your character might look, without having any artwork done yet. A mood board is a collection of images that describes the aesthetic and/or color palette of your character. If you are not sure how to create a mood board or need inspiration for one, looking up the key term "character aesthetic board" on an online search engine provides some examples.




Characters or Specific Elements you Like

If you have a specific character that you like and would like me to take inspiration from it, please send me a picture of the character. For example, here is a character that I have created from taking inspiration from Razor, Cyno, and Scaramouche from Genshin Impact:

It doesn't just have to be characters that you can send me—have a favorite style or a certain type of decoration you want me to include? Please search up and send me a reference that I can work off of. Another good one is if you want your character to have a specific animal's characteristics. Send me a picture of the animal! 



Please don't ask me to design culturally inappropriate or hate oriented designs

Refer to my ToS for what I do and do not draw.

✨ Hope this was helpful! ✨
Best of luck and have fun figuring out what design you want for your character! 😊🍀
