Okay, Okibi has asked if I will make the Daemon portrait a regular thing so Im planning on doing another one in a few months. The main problem with the last one was that I didn't have much time to plan it, so parts of it felt rushed. So to counteract that, this thread is to get as much information as possible before I start the portrait. This thread will run for a while before I start it, so you guys all have time to reply. IF YOU DON'T REPLY TO THIS THREAD, OR EMAIL ME WITH THE FOLLOWING DETAILS YOU WON'T BE INCLUDED IN THE PORTRAIT IM AFRAID. Sorry, but thats the only way Im going to be able to plan it properly before actually putting pencil to paper to do the final portrait. So what I need you guys to do is to reply to these questions before 31ST OCTOBER (!!!) Thats 2 months, so those people who don't post much will get a chance to answer, and those people whose daemons haven't settled yet can let me know their most common form nearer the time. Okay? So, you can either email, PM me or reply on this thread. If there is someone you know whose daemon you think should be in the portrait, but is unable to post, please send me the following information about their daemon and I'll see what I can do. Heres what I need: 1) Your User name 2) Your daemons full name 3) Your daemons most common nickname (if any) 4) Your daemons settled, or most common form 5) Your daemons most common pose and expression(I will try to incorporate them) 6) Your daemons eye-colour 7) Your daemons fur/feather/skin colour (in as much detail as possible please) 8) Any distinguishing features that your daemon has 9) The daemons or forum members that your daemon and you feel closest to on the forum (I will try to place them together) 10) What kind of style/personality your daemon has eg: claen cut, gothic, scruffy, sleek, etc. I know it sounds weird but if I do this portrait in mixed media it will really help. The only other question I have is this, as the portrait is for you guys I'd like imput on its style. I can either do the portrait as I did the 1st one (pencil and pen on watercolour base), or I can try something different (mixed media etc). It would take longer to do it mixed media but I don't mind having a go. (Theres a sort of sample of my mixed media work here: www.emma-rupert.com/sketch.jpgLet me know what you guys think.

Youre a great artist Maia! But as for the watercolour base and mixed media thing, I don't know. They both seem really good.
1) Username: Cat 2) Dæmon's full name: Pandareos 3) Dæmon's most common nickname: Pocket 4) Dæmon's most common form: Slender mongoose 5) Dæmon's most common pose and expression: There are a couple ... I'd have to say his sly grin is my favourite, though. He usually stays on all four paws for that one. 6) Dæmon's eye-colour: Black, but when light hits it, it's reddish. 7) Dæmon's fur colour: Pocket is sort of dusty-gold. It's a little hard to describe. It's not dark, but I wouldn't call it light-coloured either. Just gold-ish. The tip of his tail is black. 8) Distinguishing features: Pocket wears a red collar with two gold tags on it. 9) Dæmons that your dæmon feels closest to: I can't really think of any right now. There might be certain people on the forum that I feel closer to than others, but Pocket doesn't really talk much to the other dæmons. 10) Style/personality: I'd have to say ... clean-cut and sleek. His tail might be a little ... fluffy, say, but the rest of Pocket is smooth and svelte. And as Pocket just put it: "They don't call me Slender for nothing!"

Thanks for that Cat. It doesn't matter if its the forum members that you feel close to rather than the daemons, they're the same person after all. If you can't think of anyone (or don't want to say) thats fine.

1) ice 2) Lassut 3) Lass 4) Snow Leopard 5) The expression that you did in the first dæmon drawing of her, for the position, sphinx-like 6) Orange 7) white all around; blue dots with black rings around them (no space between the rings and the dots). 8) The colour says it all 9) Hmmmm... we share a similar interest, so you (if Jim's going to be in the picture, then him) 10) Posh/clean, with a fluffy tail Wei can't wait until this comes out! Shot a lot!

1) SNLObsess/Ali 2) Tribalthos 3) Tyb 4) Swan goose 5) Sitting down, nibbling at something with his beak 6) Deep green 7) www.zoo.ru/Moscow/pic/r_3_2.jpg Those are his exact markings, but with more black and silver near the wingtips. 8) paler white breast, more black/silver throughout markings than in the picture. Also larger than the average goose. 9) Ra and Keira's Rome and Kirjavi, according to Tyb. *waves* 10) Rugged/Outdoorsy extreme athelete. Weirdest description ever, but thats his style. And as for the mixed media thing, I'm in love with that style, I say use it!

Now that I think about it, I feel quite close to you, Maia, and Pocket likes Mox. And, also ... though this feels weird to say ... he also very much admires Ra's Romulues.

1) Your User name: Ra 2) Your daemons full name: Romulues 3) Your daemons most common nickname (if any): Rome 4) Your daemons settled, or most common form: Black and silver wolverine. 5) Your daemons most common pose and expression(I will try to incorporate them): A blank expression, sort of like he's deep in thought, and just lying around lazily with his head on his paws, and his paws crossed. Just like in the first picture. 6) Your daemons eye-colour: Deep, forest/emerald green. 7) Your daemons fur/feather/skin colour (in as much detail as possible please): Well, he's mostly black. He has silver ears, and a silver semi-circle on the top of his head, reaching down to his cheeks. And a silver stripe down his back instead of down his sides. Just like you drew him the first time. That was perfect. And his paws were so cute. ^^ If you can, I'd love it if his paws were the same. Here's the best picture I could find. www.canadianbiodiversity.mcgill.ca/data/sppphotos/mammals/wolverine.jpg 8) Any distinguishing features that your daemon has: Besides the colour, not much. He's also a bit more bigger than the average wolverine, not by much though. 9) The daemons or forum members that your daemon and you feel closest to on the forum (I will try to place them together): You and Mox xD and Josh/El and Tyb and Ali. 10) What kind of style/personality your daemon has: Scruffy, sort of grunge-looking. His fur is like bristles, very rough. Not smooth at all. In his human form, I see him as wearing black jeans, and black tops, with spiked hair and chains...I don't know how to describe his style, grunge/punk, I suppose? But definatly not gothic. If that helps any. And Maia, I think it would be really pretty to see some watercolour background, maybe clouds or grass, and have all the dæmons in pencil crayon. You guys are so great. ^^ -waves to Ali & Tyb and Pocket & Cat- Edit: Rome: -total ego trip- -grin- I feel loved. You all rock.

1) Zed 2) Panaka 3) Naka 4)Eurasian Lynx 5) universitelyon1.free.fr/lynx-par-romain-et-hicham/htmls/images.gif/lynxeurapf.jpg Did a Google search and found this Panaka sits in this position a lot of the time, except his head is turned straight towards you and his head is slightly tipped to the right. His expression is... watchful. A little wary. 6) Blue - like I always *insist* on adding, intense blue. Dunno why, but that detail always seemed important to me. 7) It's pale golden, with black spots... I'm sorry to be so vague, but in your recent drawing the markings were great! The lynx in the photo I put in a link for also has similar markings. 8) His blue eyes are the only thing. 9) Well... Cat & Pocket - wei've always felt a little close, for some reason, to them *blushes and waves* Perhaps because the first thing I remember Cat posting was how Pocket raced her, and I was so pleased to have something in common with someone. You & Mox - you guys welcomed us in here as an 'official member', lol and even though we don't actually talk together, wei still like you lots XD SNLObsess & Tyb- Because you guys are cool, and you're LOTR fans! Plus (and this is a a big admission for Mr Ego *pokes Panaka*) Pan really respects Romulues. 10) Kind of bizarre, a little off-the-wall, a bit scruffy but cool. Also, y'know the surf-skate-snow labels like Quicksilver, O'Niell (sp?) and Oakleys? Well, that's what I imagine Panaka wearing in human form, if it's any help. Edit: The mixed media is very cool, but I also liked the sort of... united feeling in your pic of all the dæmons...

1. Kavandi 2. Rhokath 3. Rano 4. Rano isn't settled, but I'm sure he'll stick with this form for quite a while: It's the shape of a red panda. He's got a 2 flaps of skin, like a flying squirrel, between both sets of front and back feet. Though I can't really see them when he is sitting normally. 5. His expression says 'really' alot. You know, the one eyebrow raised... Though slightly confused at the same time. The expression he had in the last picture he has a lot too. 6. His left is the same deep green it's always been, and his right is the same teal... Like the last portrait. 7. Yayses! I like his fur! It's a redish black at a glance, but at closer inspection, the red has more colors. Such as gold, brown... lots of those colors... The blackish is blue and purple at the same time that it is black. The markings on a normal red panda, on him are faint, faint silver. The legs too, and almost none on his tail. 8. Two silver eye thingies. They are like the lines that went over his eyes last time, but more like a cresant moon, twisting out ward. The points face the outside of his face, and the outside curves face each other. Like this... ) (. 9. Joshua and El, Ra and Rome. Okibi and Rookie too. 10. Sleek...yet scruffy? I think you should use some oil pastels in this one... actually Rano wants you to, not me. He has an obsession. Don't listen to him. Though I'm sure it would look great with oil pastel. It'd look great with anything, actually. I dunno enough about art to know what you mean by 'mixed media' (which makes me feel bad because I've been taking art for as long as i can remember. After school art classes too...) but oil pastels would look very good! Then again watercolor would too. Both? Is that what 'mixed media' means?...
