Crackle character from Camilla Grow
by Eden Celeste and Tiffany LaGrange![]() One of the features at Portrait Adoption is the Submitted Description service. Someone seeking a portrait of their character - for a story, or a game, or even a fantasized portrait of themselves - inputs a character description which is shared with the Portrait Adoption artists. Any artist who wishes to may take a stab at creating a portrait for it. Sometimes, none of them are quite right. Sometimes, more than one is just perfect! The gamer or writer may select as many or as few as they wish to adopt. This monthly feature of EMG-Zine highlights one of the descriptions and shows off some of the artwork created for it, with permission of the customer and the artists.
For our phoenix-themed issue, it seemed natural to explore a fire character. Crackle is a slight, sweet-natured fire mephling, role-played in a modern/fantasy platform. Crackle by Eden Celeste Setting: Fantasy/Modern Gender: Female Age: Middle to late teens Race: Fire Mephling Hair: Reddish-black, fairytale curls. Eyes: Amber, almond-shaped, a bit large Skin: Reddish-bronze Face shape: Heart-shaped, sharp features, high cheekbones Build: Slim, slight Camilla writes: As dusk fast becoming night, her jet-black hair is tinged by a vivid red. Arranged in a low ponytail, then folded into a loose knot, diamond hairpins sparkle like the slowly appearing stars. When her mane is so restrained, naught hides her ears, which elongate into elfin points. Her forehead is adorned by a moonstone, the gemstone perched between her little horns and daintily arched brows at her ajna. Satiny flesh adopts a brazen red color, a copper-colored frame for a pair of luminous amber eyes draped with a heavy curtain of delicately curling, long black lashes. An aquiline nose and high cheekbones give her face a refined look, tender lips lending themselves to expressiveness, albeit they seem more naturally curled in a soft smile. These delicious tiers do little, however, to soothe the sharpness of her chin.
