Favorite Characters You Never Get Art For

#79261 Posted on 2016-12-11 14:38:18

A good portion of my characters either aren't main characters or they're too difficult to recolor, so they never get any art. I have a lot of these characters that I actually really like. Some just haven't been lucky enough to get any art yet (since I'm under 13 and can't "binge-buy", as I call it, tags anymore), but others I've purposefully avoided getting art for... for various reasons.
This is where you can show off those poor chars who never seen to get art!
I have lots, so I'll just show my favorites that I neglect:

eevvvviiillllllll Kestrel boy, who I bought from Bela in a contest of mine a long time ago-

also eeevvviiiillllll Banditaro boy, who I bought from Cling Queen way back when... I got him a little bit of art, but then I lost his ref, and when it was somehow retrieved by some player that I've forgot the name of, the image was small like this so you couldn't even see his eye color anymore... so I had to edit it on-


and I'll maybe post more later..

Venoxoras has averaged one piece of art a year since I got him in 2014.



Design is a combination of Sora, Roxas, and Ventus of Kingdom Hearts.

I have this beauty from maple and kite:


It's more a function of recently adding him to my site so I haven't had the chance yet to get art for him, but he's no doubt one of my faves.

this is Didgeridoo who was given to me by hoofie, though I love him I seem to forget about him whenever I'm buying art (plus I strictly want him be used for pony art and that limits him to certain art pieces).


this is my favorite of his few tags though, I love it!


this is farran who I also love, but who rarely gets art. i am in need of a new reference sheet for him that doesn't need to be hosted on dA, however i'm worried that it would be too costly to find an artist willing and able to properly transfer him to a new reference sheet without changing his markings too much. so for that reason he rarely gets art. one day i'll cough up the cash and have him put on a new reference sheet at which time i will probably begin to use him more often.


this is my favorite tag of him!

I have this dude I got on the old EV. Though I have one that is similar to him he still holds my interest even tho he barely has any art and I never use him.

For me, it's definitely this bab. The design is a little complex so I feel that sometimes it's pushing my luck to expect a recolour.

I have multiple ones that have no art, but most is because they're new or don't have good refs. But, here's a few not so new ones, I barely use but love too much to ever sell.

This is Sasha and she only has one tag, but it's due to the fact I plan to revamp her. Just am thinking about the various design changes at the moment.


Amethyst also has only one tag, as her design is so dark it doesn't look good on most greyscales.


Brandy hasn't got much use due to the lack of Arab tags/art.

I have many more, but these three stand out most I think.

ugh, this baby.



i have maybe one? two? tags for that one. i either can't find ones i like, can find them and don't think they could recolor the design, or don't want to bother people with it because i know complex ones can be a hassle ;-;

also, my lovely boy carni.



there's certain colors he looks good with, so i have to keep a careful watch on backgrounds for his art. plus, he can be annoying to recolor and has little markings and things that can be tedious. he can be hard if you don't pay attention. there's certain artists i trust to recolor him. despite that, he has a lot of art but mostly from the same people over and over.

finally, mr. theodore.



again, certain colors look good with him. plus, he was the winning design for a contest of a character for my grandfather who passed away. so i'm very very particular about art for him because he is so special to me.
overall, he does need lots more love and art because he just gets forgotten a lot of the time.

This guy is my absolute favorite character right now. Sadly he proves challenging for most artists who are unfamiliar or haven't had lots of practice int he art and recolor field.

I've got lots of them! These, however, are the biggies...



This is Nightwalker. Before him, I was determined to stick to natural colors, but then I saw him and fell head over heels IN LOVE! I have managed to get three tags done, but I have never found a sig for him.


Then there's Savannah, for obvious reasons...




And we can never forget the Galaxies...finding art can be nearly impossible! Mystic Pegasus is probably my favorite, but I have never found more than one tag for him...






Finally, I have Good Ole' Bill, who I recently bought from Laney; I'm sharing insomniaglet's pain of difficulties with finding pony tags, where he is concerned, and ya gotta always love the gradient patterns...




But, ironically, there is one guy for whom it is almost more difficult to find art than all the rest, despite his simplicity, and that's my first charrie ever, Draft. I will never sell him because I'm way too attached, but the fact that he is not only a draft breed, but also one with feathering, really tends to limit what art works with him.
