I've really gotta stop writing these at really stupid hours. I have to get up in like... 6 hours. Anyway! I got into round 1 of #FutureBattlesOCT (https://www.deviantart.com/futurebattlesoct) and I'm up against the ultra-fab :iconlulzyrobot: I'm so excited but so dead XD Her character is really, really cool and I can't wait to get started. It will be glorious. Side note, :iconhungergames-oct: is slowly reawakening. We will have more information about the new season soon, so check it out! Other note, :iconangelsascended-oct: auditions will be opening in early March! More information will be up later this month~

Belated update of OCT things~ Well, Bird Resurrection was apparently not dead! I made it into round two, and I'm really excited to get working on it. I've been busy with school and Future Battles OCT which I decided to enter. It was a lot smaller when I first checked it out, and now it's got some well-known artists, and as a writer that makes me very nervous XD But best of luck to everyone! I can't wait for the audition results skdfhasdfhsdf Hope you all had a merry Christmas! Why am I still awake. Why did I think now was a good time to write this? What is my life?

Thanks for reading, and good luck!
~Digital-Decker
Yessss, thank you for the reminder! I've had a bit of a crazy autumn but fear not! I am planning on getting back on this.
Hello~I am very sorry for the horrid delay I am answering to task 10(?) in the :iconoc-training: 
Now, let's get down to business (not to defeat the hunns, I am sorry... //shot)
The first picture of Runnis I've seen was telling much, but you really gave us some insight of her past, which I adore btw, because of my fondness for such characters. Besides, I like her style of dressing... cannot say why, but it really appeals to me. Also, I think you really improved on how to show us the different sides of Runnis, the shy and careful compared to the picture with the deer... which is also really fitting for her character. :3 Well, all in all, I kinda included her into my 'favourite ocs' folder in my heart... I hope you don't mind XD
Awwww thank you so much for this sweet comment :heart: (even though i'm super late to this party and pretty much fell out of the oc training)

I'm honored that you like Runnis so much! She's become very dear (lol) to my heart in the last couple months since her creation, and seeing that people like her gives me warm fuzzies *u*
So for the late 6th Task of OC-Training!

The first thing I noticed about your OC was that wild look she has. lol I felt it really stood out because it was such a dramatic difference between all the other people taking part in the training. She has a very natural look about her. When I first saw her design I knew she was someone who probably didn't have a problem taking care of herself. When I started seeing more pictures of her it really got me curious, because you introduced this woman who obviously survives in the wild, but there seemed to also be a sort of modern element to her as well (especially in the battle suit part of her wardrobe).

The only thing I would even mention that needs approving would be 1) more dynamic coloring/shading (everything seems a little flat) and 2) more practice of human anatomy. I only mention the latter because I felt that her prominently pronounced rib cage was a bit distracting to her design. To me, it makes me think that maybe she doesn't eat enough and has become incredibly thin. I know that finding enough food in the wild can be difficult, but she has this image of being able to take care of herself, and the thin appearance seems to conflict with that idea. If you were trying to show fitness, I would suggest studying the muscle anatomy of women.

What I really miss about what you've done is your participation in the group! I noticed Runnis is missing a few entries in the group that I would have really liked to have seen. Since her design stood out to me from the beginning I usually noticed when she was missing. I wondered what kind of animal this "wild style" woman would interact with.

Overall I really like where you're going with your art. I know the jump from writing (which I saw was most of your gallery) to visual art can be pretty daunting, but I feel you are handling it well. I look forward to seeing how you will progress in the future.
Eeeee thanks for this comment! You put a lot of thought into it and ahah mine seem pretty lame now, oops.

I'm glad you like Runnis! She's definitely my favorite wild child, and there'll be more art of her showing up of her after oc-training is finished (entering her in Walking City OCT).

ehehhe, those points are really valid, but her thinness was a conscious decision (at least for the most part). She has learned to take care of herself in the wild, but the first year or so of being in the wild were extremely difficult for her (she was 12 when she ended up in the wilderness) and she lost what little body fat she had. She primarily lives on wild greens and the occasional rabbit or other small game, and very rarely larger animals, all of which are rather lean and would build muscle rather than stick to her ribs ;D Her weight does fluctuate between seasons and years, but for the oc-training reference I chose her body type when she was 16 after she healed from a broken leg. She does eventually build more muscle and becomes a much more intimidating figure, but she always remains lean and not prone to carrying extra fat.
As for my lazy shading.... yeahhhhh. I've been rather pressed for time for a lot of these challenges (started a new job, been lazy, etc). Dynamic shading is something I really need to work on, but I always make the excuse "oh there's no background I don't need to do better shading"... which is bullshit and I need to practice jfc

I'm slowly catching up to the challenges I've missed 8D The animal task should be up in a couple days, and I've got some cool things planned for future tasks *u*

Thanks again for such a kind comment! I really appreciate how much time and effort you put into it :heart:
My point with the muscle anatomy was, if she is indeed just lean and not a lot of body fat, she either is very well built (with a lot of visible muscles, or she's starving. My suggestion would be if she does have a lot of lean muscle as you said her abdomen would not be as sunken in as it is right now. And lean muscle would prevent the skin from shrinking that far in. That's all I'm saying.

A little research on the matter would also go a long way! Looking up what living in the wild does to the human body would be a helpful resource in Runnis' continued development. It might also help you out in your Huger Games OCT.

 I can't tell you how many reference pictures I have, but more than once they've helped me improve.
