A tutorial going over some of the concepts I try to follow when doing species and character design. It's pretty general suggestions so that it can be applied towards different types of characters.

I hope you enjoy!

Edit: Holy crap. A DD! :la: Thank you SO much to =Sarky-Sparky for the suggestion and to `FantasyStock for the feature.

Of all the pieces in my gallery, I'm really thrilled that it was this one. I love creating characters, and I hope that people find this useful in making their own!

Tutorial: Character Design by *JNetRocks -- Suggester's words: It's a fantastic idea for a tutorial on a website filled with OCs. It has all sorts of tips on how to create a thoroughly detailed and original original character. This tutorial covers everything from species and skin texture to matching clothing to your character's culture. She even has tips on colouring and clothing in here. I honestly feel a LOT of people on this website can learn from this. ( Suggested by *Sarky-Sparky and Featured by `FantasyStock )

Wow!
I love how easy to understand the tutorial is, and how it goes into detail to every part of species creation. It'll help me bigtime for my sci-fi story that takes place on another planet ^^
