Description Iris - The Thief          
Age: 17       Height: 5'5"

Pack - used to hold all her stolen items and tools
Slim Jim Sword - a custom made sword she uses to pry open doors and locks. she also uses it to defend against attackers with bladed weapons. she is not a killer and the sword doesn't have a sharp edge on it.
Kitsune Mask - her favorite accessory to wear when breaking and entering.
Hair Clip - her lucky hair clip, never leaves home without it.  (yes, she stole it...)

Iris is small but very strong. she trains her body everyday to not only be a great thief but to be the best fighter. she loves to fight and is always looking for a new challenger. many times she will purposely get caught pick pocketing to provoke a fight. Iris hates using weapons and prefers hand-to-hand.

when Iris was a 11 her village was attacked and burned to the ground, she was the only survivor. during the attack Iris was trapped under burning rubble but was rescued by an unknown boy around the same age as her. the boy was covered in blood and deep wounds all over, he even had weapons still sticking out of his body. after the boy dragged Iris to safety he vanished into the forest. after the attack, Iris spent months looking for the boy in the forest but never found a body. she believes he also survived that day and has been looking for him ever since.

personality - very happy and kind. she is often playful and perverted. (like a dirty old man trapped in a girls body)

side note - both of her arms and legs are covered in burn scars and she has them hidden with her clothing.

Thanks! Would love to draw more of her but commissions keep me from personal work. Hopefully later this year I can get back to my own projects.

Very daring palette. Can't understand why a thief would like to stand out so much, but I like it either way!

hanakogames [2013-11-11 08:47:15 +0000 UTC]

It's a cute picture, but the design doesn't totally make logical sense for the character you describe.

(Feel free to ignore my nitpicking, I just want to explain my thinking here.)

It's reasonable for a grappler to not wear much armor, obviously - wrestling has often been done in the nude in order to prevent the opponent from having a handhold. But if that's what you're going for, then dangly bits (and ESPECIALLY a strangle-me scarf) don't add up.

It's reasonable for a thief who is trying to Hide In Shadows to wear soft, tight-fitting clothing in dark colors that allows freedom of movement rather than heavy armor. But if that's what you're going for, then having large expanses of exposed skin is a big no-no (as it will catch the light and reflect, screwing up your attempt to hide) and a hot pink scarf is even less sensible.

Her clothing says "Notice Me", loudly - Which, if she's intentionally bad at thieving because she wants to attract trouble so she can fight it, makes sense. But then she still needs to be ready for a fight.

My suggestion would be to get rid of the dangling hot-pink ties on the pants (as they're not useful for anything and get in the way of a fight) and remove or modify the scarf (to make it clear that she uses it as a tool and/or drops it when she gets into a fight)

And if she's supposed to ever get away with stealing, a black cloak to wrap herself in to hide her skin when she's wearing the mask would make sense (although again, she'd need to drop it when getting into a fight). That would also add some character interest by drawing a strong distinction between the hidden, shadowy girl and the very upfront, exposed, playful girl.

Your character, obviously, I'm just trying to explain why those details bugged me.

So with that outfit, I am to assume that where he doesn't have skin showing, she has burn scars, right?
