Welcome to Gaia! ::

Types of art
Preference for Pencil, Watercolour or painter CG.
Likes fullbody or nice headshots/busts.
Realism and unique styles are better then generic anime.


What I want:
I'm not always looking for specific things, but below are some things to go on.

iPod style art of Kokoryta delos Sanch.

One possible set of pictures I'd like involves Frei/Valha and Keilan/Dahlia, basically I'm grouping my elementals into complimentary couple shots. For Frei/Valha's I'd like something like that "Gothic American" picture. Except that Valha is sitting and Frei is standing behind her with his right hand on her shoulder. For Keilan/Dahlia's I'd like a similar couple shot, but something dynamic (as they are the high energy ones).

Second possibility is the opposite of the above- basically Valha/Keilan and Frei/Dahlia, though this should be dynamic and showing each element with their respective element and interacting with their opposite. Feel free to make suggestions for this.

WP #2: Pirates
Artist (working on it):
Features: The Red Pirate, Morgan (with perhaps other crew members)
Setting: Aboard the Lucid Destiny (a pirate ship surprised )
Details: TRP and Morgan are with the crew in their daily pirate outfits, TRP and Morgan should be featured in the forground while their crew can be in the backround.

Age: 23
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 142lbs
Ethnicity: unknown (has both japanese and british features)
Eyes: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/kokoryta/OC/873s.jpg
Hair: long (longer bangs) and with chunky purple highlights, goes to about mid-back.
Body Markings: She has a yin-yang tattoo in the middle of her spine, double ears pieced and wears silver earrings.

Weapon: Her katana was given to her before she left Japan by the preisstess who raised her, she only makes use of it later in the story.


History: Kokoryta is a curvy individual, and is relatively muscular from her years of martial arts training. She does not know her birth mother as she was abandoned at a Japanese temple when she was an infant and raised by the head priestess there.
She now lives in New York city, moving from job to job while attending University for a double major in philosophy and Aisan history. It was in New York that she slowly began to devellop voice that she heard in her head, which she later realised was the begining of telepathy.
Her clothing style could be described as typical New York City, with alot of black, but in truth she likes any dark, somber colour. She never wears skirts, prefering to wear loose flexible pants and a shirt. She also usually wears large headphones with music blasting, which was her first attempts at drowing out the thoughts of other people, but now is mearly a habit.
She tends to be rather aloof and apathetic, with a cynical streak and sharp tongue. But that doesn't mean that she is not without her own honour system and strong loyalties to her friends.

Hair: light blond and shortish usually in a funky hair-do
Body Markings: Pierced ears and a celtic tattoo on her upper left arm
Sample Outfit: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/kokoryta/OC/d_top.jpg

Weapon: Even though she has no matial arts training, Dahlia develloped a love for all things pointy and thrown, namely a set of 4 prong throwning stars

History: People think that Dahlia in on crack, she is usually a bundle of energy and perpetually perky. Just the kind of person you are ready to hate because they seem so fake. But, she's not, she is just genuinely a happy person.
Her and her mother moved to Canada from Ireland back when she was 10 years old after her father died. She has had no easy life and there were often times when she and her mother would barely have any money for food. But, that has change in the past year since her mother had remaried.
Her sense of style often reflect her perky nature and her habits of shopping at thrift stores. She likes colours and unique cuts, her best creations (as she calls them) involves mixing vintage clothing with modern and adding a splash of clothes that she has made herself.

Keilan doesn't have a sense of style, he wears clothes that are practical and allow for easy movement. But he does tend to stick to reds and blacks.

"Red" Eve
Owned by: TheEveoftheNight

Full Name: Eve Ada Champney
Age: 25 years
Born: May 14th
Hair: Dark Red
Eyes: Green
Skin: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/kokoryta/OC/Red_skintone.jpg
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 100lbs
Nationality: Realan
Outfits: Pirate - She wears something very similar to this, but the bodice and blue overskirt are both read. Her shirt is white and off the shoulders and the underskirt is black. She wears boots like the black ones on the right.
Land Gown - She has very elegant taste, so her gown would be just as elaborate as this one. But the blue would be a dark emerald green. She would wear simple slippers that are black.

Appearance: She looks out over the sea, her numerous braids of dark red hair whipping slightly in the wind with a hat set jauntily upon her head. Dark green eyes look out, a scar running down the right one that is occasionally covered with an eye patch when ashore. There is a hard look upon her features, one with little care. Though she doesn't look strong, there is strength hidden in the slender female. A red ruffled shirt rests off her shoulders, revealing small, well-rounded, young breasts. A necklace is resting in the middle of her breasts that she is never seen without. Her hips are well rounded under the red skirt that splits up the center. Well shaped calves can be seen under the dark fishnet stockings and accented nicely with the low heeled shoes. A red and gold sash is draped over her shoulders and a whip wrapped about her waist. Aside from her scar, she is an enchanting beauty, but with a stubborn will.


Personality: Though her looks don't say she is of good-nature, she is quick to laughter and the first to joke, though they are mostly of the dirty kind. She knows how to keep the spirits around her up and knows what loyalty is, even if it's lacking in some pirates. Always the first to start up a cord of sea shanties with a wonderful, talented voice that makes all hearts swell. But when the need arises, she is a stone-cold killer and won't stop till the job is done. There is no changing her mind once it is set because she is just as stubborn as a mule. She is a fierce warrior and a knowledgeable ally.

Background: Piracy is in her blood. Born and raised near the sea, her father, Roger Ermenegilde Champney, was a fearsome pirate, looting the known seas. Her mother, Marthe Claudine Marceline Champney, was of the respectable sort, but feared her daughter would follow in the footsteps of her father. Her parents were divorced when she was six-years-old, so she lived most of the year on land with her mother where she learned things a lady should know and even that which was not to be wasted on females, such as history. During the summer she was found onboard The Damned Dream with her father where she learned to strategize, sword fight, and man a ship. She learned as much as she could about the trade her father had mastered for there was a love of the sea in her veins.

At the age of 14, her father's ship was taken by the Spanish and executed for his foul deeds. Her mother did not know what to do with the girl, so after two years of the girl's mourning she set her on her own near the seashore. The ocean called to Eve for six months before she ventured out to the docks in search of a ship needing crew members.

Not many would have a young woman on board fearing that the men would be tempted to use her for their pleasure. As skilled as she was, her dream to be on the sea was dashed captain after captain. She attempted to sneak onboard a few in her desperation, but was always caught.

Finally, after a year and a half of trying to finally venture out onto the open seas, she bought passage on a ship to take her to an island, an island known for piracy and those willing to recruit. She faked a shopping spree to look for the extravagant and that island was guaranteed to have anything that would be out of the ordinary. She was finally on her way at the age of 17.

When the ship docked, she departed company with the crew and captain and traveled into one of the local inns. She purchased to stay in one of the rooms for a night and quickly changed. Key stowed away safely, she made her was to the nearest tavern where a fight had broken out. A young woman was in the middle of the foray. The woman shot a quick look to her before calling out to Eve to come and help her out. Eve jumped into the middle of it, pulling out her whip and snapping it at the feet of the men. They both quickly pushed back the attackers and soon the tavern was back to its quiet atmosphere.

The young woman invited her to a drink. They sat down together and spoke casually to each other. She said her name was Esmeralda Grace Akaino and she was part of a pirate ship. Eve spoke of her father and the ship he called home yearly, The Damned Dream. It wasn't a well known ship and crew, but Esmeralda acted as though she had known them all her life. Esmeralda excused herself, saying she had to return to her ship.

Blue Eye Edward heard about the skills and femine qualities of the young lady. Esmeralda had said, "For such a girly-girl, she did know what she was doing." So he went to find this French girl, seeing how she was close to Esmeralda's age and could probably teach her how to actually be a woman.

Eve was still sitting at the tavern enjoying the cool brew that was quickly refilled by the men around her. She could feel the effects and slowled her drinking, making it seem as though she was having more when Edward came in looking for her. Walking up behind her, he whispered that he knew her father, "Red" Roger, and it was a shame the ending he met. He invited her to join him and his crew on the Lucid Destiny. Eve took on her father's name of "Red" and began her adventures with The Red Pirate.thing imaginable.

Lucid Destiny's cook and doctor, old salt. He's in his 50s with grey hair and doesn't wait until he's mad to swear like a sailor, some think that he might be adled as he often talks to himself while preparing dinner. However none doubt that he is the reason why most of them are alive either by his cooking abilities or his abilities as a surgeon.

Nationality: Parsah
Weapon: None, herbs
Outfit: moroccan/indian styled top with a high collar and simple pants, sandles
Anthony is the nursemaid, and apprentice to Gizmo. He is a rare sight as most Parsans do not leave their country, and moreso do not fall into roles of pirates. Anthony had left Parsah in order to explore the world, but he had been cornered by some unsavory characters in a back ally of Realan. Felir had come to his rescue but had been injured and Anthony had not only treated the wound but healed it without scarring.
Anthory, as most Parsans, can heal wounds with a mix of magic and herbs. So it was only natural that Felir take the boy under his care and eventually let him leave with Esmeralda on the Lucid Destiny. Since, as he said, he would be of the most use to the pirates who travel upon the dangers of the open water then to the pirate who attends lavish affairs.
