Medieval Forum Banner Collab Project: Signups!

[Shinko]

Alrighty everyone! I had an idea that I thought would be fun, but I'm going to need some help with it! I'm sure you're all familiar with the forum banners that circulate at the top of the screen? And a lot of you are familiar with (or participated in) the Medieval forum game that lingers on through roleplays and sidestories. Well, what if we made a banner for the forum with the Medieval characters? What if we made five? One for each of the main factions, and one for the unaligned NPCs.

Now that would be really cool, but it would also be a lot of work, especially for just one person. So here's my proposition; below is a list of all of the major characters, organized by faction or in the case of NPCs, the faction to which they are most closely aligned. If you want to help out with the banners, you can post below claiming any characters you would like to draw, and I'll put your name next to said characters. Then all you need to do is draw those characters, color them, and PM me the image with a transparent background, and I'll stick them all together on the appropriate banner!

Of course it goes without saying that you don't have to claim only your own characters. You are free (and encouraged to) adopt characters of the less-artistically-inclined players and draw them as well! If you didn't play the game but watched and want to contribute, that's fine too! And if you sign up for certain characters, then notice later that there are some lonely ones who haven't been adopted, you can always pen yourself down for more later. And if for whatever reason you don't want your character drawn, let me know and I'll give them a strikethrough on the list to mark them as off limits. Let's have some fun!

_{I haven't claimed many myself to start off because I wanted to leave everyone's options open; as more time passes I'll nab more characters to draw myself.}

Ooh, cool idea Shinko! 8D I'm not much of an artist myself, but anyone is certainly welcome to draw Rissa and I look forward to seeing how everyone comes out!

*looks at unaligned NPC's* Hmm... Shouldn't Briar Kidde be listed with the Shadows? The lists look good other than that ^^

(Also, that Karma bonus XD Someone please take up that challenge, it would be glorious)

A very good point, Briar has been moved~

[Elcie]

This looks really fun! =D I will definitely take my own characters to start with, and I'd be up for drawing Elin Ryer as well if Gelquie is okay with it and no one else has their heart set on drawing her. ^^

(Might take more if there are unadopted characters left later, because Medieval art is FUN!)

^^ Alrighty, gave you Xavier, Ilsa and Duval, and I'll jot you down for Elin once GLQ weighs in.

[Celestial]

83 You already know how excited I am about this. For now, though, I'll take both Stallionbros. Then we'll see who is unadopted and I'll happily take them under my pencil.

I would gladly contribute Kaldora and Ancel (seeing as they're, y'know, super easy to put in since they're modeled already), but the style may be really jarring, unless I find a way to really heavily post-process it into looking like a drawing. If that's fine (or even if straight-up render is fine), please let me know, otherwise I pass them on to someone else.

Half the fun of collabs like this is to see different art styles all lined up in one place. So by all means you can do a render for Ancel and Kaldora if you'd like.

Alright, good to know!

also, it is probably fortunate that there does not seem to be a way to have Ancel creep on Ilaria

Ahaha, yeah sorry I stuck Ilaria in with the merchants because

A) As a tailor she is one
B) Her writer was a merchant anyway and
C) There were way too many people in the NPC banner and the merchant banner was kinda empty.
