So, I've an idea.

I've got a character in my head that I'm working on at the moment. She's another Changeling: the Dreaming Nocker, but I think she MIGHT be universally attractive to other people.

What I'm asking for is for people to design her for me. Take a spin off of what I have in my head and give me your impression. (I already have things sketched out for her that I'm happy with, but I would LOVE to see what you wonderfully talented people could come up with.)

If I do get any sketches/character models/clothing designs (it doesn't have to be a full picture! WOO), then I'll look 'em over and for the ones I really, really like, I'll do a full-color rendition of one of your own characters for you in return! For those that I think are still awesome for effort or whatever, I'll do a head sketch for you. Sound fair?

Here's her description (I'll be using doll pictures for a reason that's obvious later):

Hair: white, long and wavy, down to her elbows. Resembles this:  www.rwor.net/dreamsinplastic/b…
Eyes: so pale blue as to be almost white
Skin: What little that shows is porcelain pale
Body type: Thin and willowy, seemingly tall though she's only 5'5".
Name: Keratin Jane

Background:

Jane began training as an assassin at age 14. Not long after, while learning the art of handmade exposives, Jane blew away most of her face (and probably much of her body, but no one knows how much, and she keeps that a secret). Jane took that as an extremely bad omen, and after the outer wounds healed, she left that lifestyle behind quickly.

Joining the sidhe house of Eiluned, she created a set of porcelain masks for herself and clothing to hide the scars, and now is a doll and marionnette maker... with a twist. Her ball-joint dolls can sometimes be infused with momentary life, proving to be great objects of terror or interrogation (of the room-bugging type). She gathers info for Eiluned, and has an extremely uncanny way of knowing what others are thinking & feeling by looking at them. (Not a mind-reader, of course, but just very observant). People are afraid of her-- she's very, very strange, doll-like, herself, speaking softly and moving with willowy, fluid motions with spiderlike fingers and odd tilts of her head.

Her knowledge of the fae court politics is immense, and she uses it to her best advantage.  She's also sometimes used as an interrogator herself.

She's lonely, but still dislikes most fae and people, so she creates her dolls and has become very, very good at her craft.  She's got one doll infused with what seems to be permanent life... until it's broken, of course... a sort of golem which can speak, laugh, cry, etc... And she's NOT pretty underneath the mask.

Clothing style Jane prefers white, though she's been known to add very light pastel touches here and there. Her clothing is a mix of a little bit of lace, buckles, leather, satin, and silk.  Almost none of her skin shows, except for her ears and hands, and it's been rumored that one of the latter is a construct, but no one is certain. Her nails are black. Her left long, pointed ear has a silver cap, made to hide the fact that the tip is actually gone.

Her clothes are a mix of Victorian, Renaissance, and Gothic Lolita, and a bit Cirque de Soleil to boot.

May I have permission to draw Jane? I'd love to draw her! Do you mind?
