So here's some drawings of my Original character, Jack Winston-Wiley!

User Image


He's my second O.C. ever drawn (my first was an alien named Moonman Bob xd ) and I've been drawing him for about three years now and he's evolved so much since then!

History of Jack as my drawings:
When I first created Jack, His hair was all black, still covering one eye though). The one thing that stood out about him the most was he always had a skull floating over his right hand. The skull at first had rings around it (like saturn) because it was Moonman Bob's skull, but later on the skull lost the rings. After that Jack's hair became mostly white with black tips, like he has now. I wanted to write a story about how Jack was told to search for something and led on the journey by the skull. But shortly after that, I completely dropped the skull and the story. All that takes up about one year, after the first year Jack's design and his story settles down a bit. I decide his eyes are red-because his sister stabbed him in his eyes and they got infected. He wears glasses when he's reading or working on the computer and when he has his glasses on, he pushes his hair behing his ear so you can see both eyes when I draw him with his glasses on. His outfit never really changed from the first time I drew him, a black shirt over a black hoodie and black slacks (how origional xp ). Just a couple months ago I decided that he'd go to a private school and I've been drawing him alot in his uniform.

Oh, almost forgot, He has a spiderweb tattoo that starts just behind his ear and goes down to the base of his neck in the front and halfway down his back. He also has 8 peircings, one on his right eyebrow, one in the middle of his lip and three on each ear.

Wow that took longer than I thought sweatdrop

Now this is sort of the history of Jack and his family in all my stories.

Quote:

Jack was born December 3, 1983 on a large estate in the south of England. His family was the very rich and very powerful Winston-Wiley family, then only consisting of his self, his Grandfather, James, his father, Miles, his sister, Rosalind, and his mother, Elizabeth. They all lived in Winston-Wiley Castle in the seaside city of Brighton, East Sussex.

When Jack was young, he had a normal, happy life, his family was nice to him, he got along well with other children and he had access to anything he could ever want. They spent their summers in Paris, their Chateau in the Loire Valley, and St. Malo, Jacks favorite. They also often viseted Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, and South Africa.

Jack's mother was a beautiful and kind woman from the equally rich Cinderplatz family. She had waist-length blonde hair, which she often let loose, her eyes were pale blue and always off in the distance. She loved nature and animals, and while she lived in Winston-Wiley she added 12 gardens, 4 lakes, 2 guesthouses, and added onto the horses' satbles and hunting lodge.

His father was a very hansome man, with blonde hair, cobalt blue eyes and a trim body. He was almost always cheerful with an upbeat attitude about everything, he loved telling jokes and being the life of the party. He managed a small reataurant chain called The Drawing Room, that served almost every food the customer could think of.

James Wintston-Wiley was born December, 28, 1933, almost 4 months after the Nazi party was declared the only party in Germany. He was a child in the midst of WWII and could saw what war was like first hand. The day after James's 7th birthday, he went to london with his parents to visit some close family friends. They stayed for a couple hours and before they knew it, it had already gotten dark, and the friends insisted that they stay until morning in the guest rooms and the Winston-Wileys agreed. In the middle of the night there was a massive German air raid on london and the house they were staying at caught fire when a bomb hit the neighbors' house. Only James escaped, his parents died in the fire.

ok, this took longer than I expected, so there'll be more parts later



I have a lot of other characters too, but I'll deal with them later xp

Those are really nice, I love the history behind it too. Looking at your sig, Its very tender and close, so yes nephew would be appropriate. I deffinatly want to know more about why they look like they've bonded in some fashion.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like them.
And I'm planning to sometime write out all of my character's histories and their relationships with one another. Jack's nephew is a really new character and my sig pic is the only picture I've drawn him in, but I think he'll become one of my major characters soon because what I've made up about him so far I really like. Jack's sister (the boy's mother, I think his name is going to be Malo) hates Jack and has some mixed feelings toward Malo because he's a lot like Jack. She loves him for being her son, but he's just like Jack when he was a child and whenever Malo does something that reminds her of Jack, an overwhelming feeling of hate swells up inside her.
Now I've definately gotten off track, Malo looks up to Jack and thinks he's the coolest person ever and Jack adores Malo because a lot of reasons but mostly because they're so alike and Jack knows that he can help Malo become an the great artist he could never be.

Wow that was a lot longer than I thought it would. I suppose I enjoy talking about my characters too much. sweatdrop

I haven't had time to do justice in looking over your descriptions but the artwork looks excellent and professional although I would narrow that neck where the spiderweb tattoo is (where he's sitting down) to make it more natural and then I can't see anything else that would need more, though I'm sure you as the artist will always think of something! 3nodding heart

Edit: it's actually that headphone cord that looked like a line of the neck lol. My fault.

One of my friends thought that the spider web was coming out of his ear and that he had spiders in his brains xd

Jack...yup, just Jack.

This has got to be wow, around a year old xp I just found it and I quite like it, I've been finding a lot of my old pictures recently...and honestly, I think they're better than what I draw now, they've got a lot more style to them and they look so much more....origional (I don't know if that's an appropriate word, but I can't think of anything else).

Jack...again xp
Umm I had no real inspriation for this one, like most of my drawings, I start with the eyes and just keep drawing whith no idea how I want it to look like.

Which brings me to what I see as a real problem with my art, I can't seem to put any feeling into it. I mean, I work really hard on my pictures and they all mean alot to me, but if I'm sad and I try to draw something that reflects how I feel, it just turns out as any old picture. Its really frustrationg not being able to put your feelings into my art. I feel like I've got no why to express how I feel. I've tried writing poetry twice, but I hate those poems, I can't even look at them and there has been so many times I've wanted to burn them, but I just couldn't. And in my stories I write, I can never get any sort of mood put in there, they're never a happy story, or a sad story, just a story. I fear that if I don't put my heart into my work I'll never be truly happy with anything I draw, just a breif period of time when I like what I did, and then growing more and more unhappy with it until I eventually despise what I've done.

But I'm also afraid that if I do put my heart into it, I won't be able to show people what I've drawn, I'll just always keep it to myself. But thats getting off the topic sweatdrop

I don't really know what possesed me to type all that, I guess I just had to get it off my chest sweatdrop
