Greetings, my friends

It occurred to me, some moments ago, that I have not a Fan Maren, as they seem to be called these days.
It was then that I was struck with a revelation: Why not have the lovely denizens of the NiGHTSintoDREAMS.com forum draw one for me? Here's how it will work:

First and foremost: It is of cardinal importance that my new Maren be... how shall I say... "Human," in form. I'm not looking for some sort of dream furry; I want a character who will represent me. *I also don't mean Human. A Human-like nightmaren like NiGHTS and Reala is what I'm looking for... "Humaren" I call them.

Secondly, I will describe some of the constraints you will encounter upon choosing to design pour moi.
I like the color VERMILLION. This does NOT mean I want an ORANGE Maren, simply that i appreciate fine and subtle traces of this reddish orange throughout any piece of work designed to suit me.

I DO NOT like green eyes. Mine eyes are GRAYISH-BLUE and so shall be my marens'.

Furthermore, upon completion of your design, you may post it here, while maintaining the option of noting it to me on DeviantART.

~~~~~~PRiZES~~~~~
Depending on the amount of submissions, there will be anywhere from NONE (heh) to THREE winners. The winner(s) will get a free, full color commission from the artist formerly known as Petit-Chou on DeviantART: Our very own Chlorine.

Does this sound appealing to you? Then hurry up~! I've not much patience these days.

I like Crabs, Caterpillars and Centipedes (I know they're not an animals)
I suppose Bulls, Goats, Sheep, Snakes, and Skunks are my favorite animals.
I also enjoy mystical creatures like harpies but I don't associate myself with them.

Heh, I still consider crabs Caterpillars and centipedes to be animals. XD Anyway, it gives me something to go on. Don't worry it'll be human, but animals help me base the design around an idea. :(

Humaren, like NiGHTS. Not human...

Kato,
I like some of your designs so it isn't disqualified. I didn't make myself clear enough I suppose.

It's a humaren, I just draw them differently from everyone else. We each have our own style. Mine just includes necks. And arms.

I don't want to be nagging, dear, but when you say humaren, you mean NiGHTS-esque, right(You've seen my 'Maren-- body-styled like them)?

Plus do you have a picture or color reference of Vermillion? Just so I know I have the right shade. I don't want to be miles off. If not that's perfectly fine, so don't worry. :(

Any other specifics, or should I just run from these?

Color of the left is my Favorite and is a variant of Vermillion. The color of the right is the Exact color of Vermillion. Either is fine.

Ah...boobs. Forgot about those. I can get rid of them if you want.

Though I would like to note...Reala's got pecs. So I don't see why a female maren wouldn't have boobs.

No it's fine. lol NiGHTS has pecs too but people fail to notice that. *points to poster in room*
I like the design more I look at it. Don't change anything. It surprised me tis all because I don't have any boobs. haha!

What does this have to do with designing?

well, just askin' 'cause i was wondering how many thingymajiggers i should put on the hat. and i most likely am not going to like putting more than three on. i have an idea for three, though i'm not sure i could draw it very well. and i'm not as good with details as kato is(if i were you, i'd go with that one) so expect a pretty simplistice fan maren.

Try your idea... this isn't an art contest it's a design contest... don't worry. I had a feeling also, thats what it was.

Hope ya like it. Sorry, it's kinda messy... I'm lazy with the linework >_> bad habit.

oh, and the torso looks kinda long because I put the head too high... it should be safely nestled within the collar, not floating above it like that >_>

lemme know if you want something tweaked! XD

i started working on it, and i almost finished a sketch of her(what are you naming her?) but i'm going to have to start over because it was just too terrible. anyways, so you can tell me if i'm going in a good direction, i made the hat have two thingymajiggers('cause i couldn't get three to work for me) and they go down diagonally away from the head and curve up. she has the same face shaped as nights, but she has large metal thingies covering the whole of her eyes and extending backwards over her head. she has a collar like the old nights design, with another metal thingy over her chest like nights' ruby thing. she's wearing a coat with two small sections that hang down past her waist and a large section that comes down at her back(isn't my vocabulary the best?). her arms ore the reason i'm starting over. if you go to the oekaki and look at the arms of my fanmaren, you'll know what they look like. i didn't realize that they were the same until i had completed them. her legs i hadn't gone to detailing yet, but they had more metal thingies at the toes.

i've really had the urge to do something more robotic lately(thus the metal thingies), so i couldn't help myself.

I like the sound of the metal things and naming it/him/whatever will come when a winner is announced. I have strange names so don't be surprised. (I name my orange Pac-man ghost plush PICKLES) And if you mean you drew them similar then I don't see what the problem is because it's a design not an art contest... however unless you meant they were the same design then... I'm sorry.

i'm sorry, you confused me. i think you're talking about what i said of the arms, in which case i didn't mean for them to be the same. i'm trying to find a site to upload it for you to see(it's hard to find one 'cause so many sites are blocked on my comp).

and i'm very surprised you like the idea of the metal thingies. i guess we'll see how you feel after you see it though. this is the first time i've drawn metal like this, and i did a little bit of shiny which is also a first for me.
