User blog:TDIwriter/Sprinklemist's Prize

Hey, Sprink. You requested a special prize, for being one of the winners of the audition contest. Since it was simple enough, I decided to grant your request, so here we go! For others reading this, Sprink requested that I rank my top 10 favorite character models, of his. I decided I would only rank his characters/his unused models, as I felt including my own would make the list a little too biased. Without further a-somethingorother, here it goes. I'd post the images next to their names, but wiki is gackin' on tweak right now... -.-

#10 - LukeI don't know what it is about Luke's character model that I like...but it works. I think maybe it's the little things, like the unique nose shape and the detail on the overalls. I'm not sure why Luke has purple eyes, as I don't think I've seen someone who naturally has purple eyes, but I like that detail as well. Honestly, it's a very simple looking character image, but I think that works to Luke's advantage.

#9 - Brad's Wilderness ModelOne thing I love about Brad's Wilderness image is how bizarre it is. I mean, it's a shirtless dude with a raised eyebrow. Crazy stuff, people. Brad's character model was instantly my favorite Wilderness model, when it was uploaded. To be fair, I think Brad was the second character revealed, but even as the other eighteen were revealed, his remained at the top. I love his shoes. They're bright and loud, just like Wilderness Brad. I like the frayed detail on Brad's jeans, as well. The spiked hair turned out really well, I think. And, who could forget Brad's heart-shaped birthmark?

#8 - Brent's Updated ImageWhile I always liked Brent's original image, it was never really among my favorites. However, Brent's updated image is. I like that it keeps with the essence that is Brent, while showcasing Sprink's increase in skill. The adding hoodie cords, pockets, and small details like that were cool to see. It's part of the reason I like seeing updated images.

#7 - Jonathan's All-Star ModelMuch like Brent before him, I always liked Jonathan's original character model, but it was never that high on the list. I really don't know what it is about his updated image that I love, but it just looks excellent. I think the colors go together really well, and the simple design makes it...more TD-ish, I guess?

#6 - Vanessa's BotB ModelI don't know what it is...but I guess I have a thing for girls who have short hair. I liked Vanessa's original model, too, but her expression was pretty harsh, and the colors were a little bland. Her updated model, however, is much more pleasant to look at. I love what Sprink did with her hair, and the colors. I think her figure looks pretty good too, specifically the shape of her legs and feet. I've always liked the claw-like fingers, and they look really well done, on Vanessa's new model.

#5 - Dreamweaver's ModelDreamweaver's model looks really macabre, which is kind of...hot. I dunno, I've always had a "thing" for that sort of thing. Anyway, she looks really eerie, but at the same time, very attractive. I don't think that's an easy thing to accomplish, generally speaking.  

#4 - Anneliese
What I really like about Anneliese's model, is her expression. I'm not sure how to describe it, really, but she just looks so freakin' excited to be there. I love how her smile turned out, and her eyes are certainly beautiful. The tiara is a nice addition, and the silvery color goes well against her dark hair.

#3 - Cloudburst, a.k.a. Brandon
Okay...maybe I'm a little biased, here...but it's not #1! I think the thing that really draws me to his image is that...I kind of designed it. It's always cool to see something like that happen, you know? You have an idea, and you get to see it come to life. I really like how Brandon's hair turned out. The trenchcoat looks really cool, and the power gloves are awesome. Especially since the blue glove is on the right hand. I remember specifically demanding requesting that.

#2 - Quintin's All-Star Model
Unlike Brent and Jonathan, I never really liked Quintin's original character model. The arms always bothered me, a lot. However, I really, really love his All-Star image. I think the small detailing on the shirt goes a long way, and his expression really makes me feel for the bro. I like what Sprink did with Quintin's hair, too. The shoes are really good looking...I'm not sure why. Again, I think this is another example of how a few well-placed details can go a long way.

#1 - This Guy
The only unused model on the list! I have wanted this character model since it first appeared on the wiki, sometime way back when in 2009. It was first used for a character named Paxton...I think in one of Jason's cancelled stories. I just thought this was the coolest looking character model on the wiki, and honestly, I still do. It may not be the best drawn, but something about it just really makes me love it. All of the details are really nice, and the jacket is especially cool. Not to mention, the blue mohawk. I'd like to see this one redrawn, just to see if it looks as good with Sprink's improved skill.
