The traditional October Patreon portraits call is here at last!
If you are new to my Patreon: every October, I make spooky themed portraits of all patrons who ask for one. Last year I even made a comic with them, when the theme was Gothic.
This time, the theme is Ghosts!, as teased in this short comic. I chose some fun archetypes to give you ideas, and asked for suggestions on Discord to complete the set. In the end, I left the ones that seemed suitable for recognizable portraits. I intend to use painted backgrounds, like the woods in the comic.
These are the character classes, I hope you like them!:
The October portrait game is open to ALL TIERS of patrons who are already subscribed (and Tiers 3+ for new ones that arrive after this post is made public).
Please note: In order to avoid assumptions, and the conventions of the more gendered examples above, I’ll ask you to use the following template:
I’ll ask for (character class), (variant, if there’s one), pronouns (pronouns). Add notes if you wish.
Examples:
-
I’d like the MANSION HAUNTER with the CANDELABRA. Pronouns: He/Him. Can he have a mustache?
-
Character class: PIRATE GHOST. Pronouns: They/Them.
-
SLENDER PERSON. Pronouns: She/Her. Note: I’d like her hair to be short/long/no hair, etc.
Beyond this basic set, this spectral challenge comes with special customizations available for upper tiers.
3+ Birds Opera Aficionado:
-
Can ask for green “night shot camera” effect on their portrait
10+ Earthquake Critic:
-
Can ask for additional ghost (partner, friend, etc)
-
or Ghost animal companion (from real reference, or not)
-
Or add an item (such as a bloody axe, an amulet, chains, a book) or an extra piece of clothing (a veil, a hat, a specific referenced attire)
-
AND ask for the aforementioned night shot effect
As usual, feel free to edit your pledge just for this month if you want these customizations for your ghost.
***
If you want your Ghostly Portrait done, email to gemeloperverso@gmail.com with the subject GHOSTS, follow the template above in the email, add optional notes and/or customizations and don’t forget your reference photo(s).
Please keep in mind, I may use some portraits in a social media post to promote this Patreon. You can let me know if you want to opt out of that, it’s ok.
Leave comments or questions below if you want. I look forward to this ectoplasmic Secret Knots Halloween!
