Okay, so basically this is a Draw My Character contest like they have on Scratch and some other places.

Above are some depictions of my character (along with an additional torso picture.) More images can be found in some other places (consider looking around the "Other Places" listed on my profile.) You can do either a skin, a drawing, a 3D rendering, or some other art of my character and submit it.


Q = Question A = Answer C = Comment R = Reply

Q. When is this due?
A. June 31st, I guess. That ought to be enough time.

Q. What do I win?
A. A sense of pride and accomplishment I don't know really. Maybe I'll just let the winner decide the award.

Q. How do I submit my entry?
A. A good way might be to just reply to this forum and either link to something or insert media or whatever works. That's what I'd recommend because that way I can access the entries easily.

Q. Do I have to do it in a certain art style?
A. No. Do it in any style you want. And you can even do any other variations you want as well, such as an alternate universe variant or whatever. Don't end up losing the main focus, though.

Q. If I do a skin, does it have to look like a Steve edit?
A. No.

Q. Who the heck tucks in their jacket like you do on your skin?
A. I don't know. That was just the way I made it. I might eventually upgrade my skin so it's better, but this is what I have for now.

Q. Is your non-Minecraft form wearing any pants?
A. Debatable.

Q. Is that what you really look like?
A. Sort of. Not entirely. I actually have facial hair in real life (which the skin technically also has but only because it's a Steve edit), but for some reason I just left it out of my character. I think it's okay because the character is supposed supposed to be a bit of his own character rather than just an average Author Avatar, but he's still mostly based upon myself. You can choose to either put in facial hair or leave it out. Either way is fine.

Q. Is your head that big in real life?
A. No.

R. So do I.

Trivia:

• The jacket is based on a real jacket I have. However, while my Minecraft skin depicts it as a short-sleeved jacket, the real jacket has long sleeves. Also, the real jacket has a zipper, and I planned to put that in the "gritty" variant, but I forgot to put it in the final version. I had it there while it was a work in progress, but I temporarily erased it because I wanted to make it more accurate. However, by the end, I had skipped the zipper altogether. Oops. Oh well.
• The watch on my skin is based on a real watch I own. I don't use it anymore because it died in 2020, however. It's a digital watch in case anyone is wondering, and I typically used army time on it (I still do that with my phone and computer.)
  
• The image at the very end is my default Scratch profile picture, which is derived from an image in an animated video I made.
• I uploaded the additional torso image because I wanted to show that the blue things on the grey areas of the jacket were the edges peeling forward (I don't know if that's the best way to describe it, but hopefully that's clear enough.)
• Oddly, I don't think I have very many orange shirts. The orange shirt mainly became part of the character because a) I wanted to go along with a particular color scheme and b) I think I wanted to echo some Scratch OCs who have orange shirts (e.g., TNTSquirrel.)

Okay, that should be enough for now. If you plan to participate, then you know what to do. If you have any other questions, you can reply to this with said questions and I will try to answer.

EDIT: Fixed some spacing issues between images.
