Welcome to the wiki! -- Me llamo Nalyd Renrut. TalkContributions 11:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad I could help. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:56, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I only use Paint for them, but usually I draw them out and then base my computer version off of the drawings (since I don't have a great scanner). I try to incorporate the TDI style as much as possible, without making them identical by using similar eyes, noses, body shapes, etc. I also draw them using lines (in Paint) instead of freehand, that's probably the biggest reason that they turn out. Being good at drawing and practice helps. I was actually going to offer to draw some character models for you since your descriptions are pretty thorough, but I have a lot of pictures to draw at the moment, so it would have to wait. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 21:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I'd be happy to. The only problem is that they might not fit your vision of what they would look like, but if you want me to make any changes after I show you the character model, don't be afraid to do so (even if you would like it to be a different character, or change colors of skin, hair, or clothing). I like making character models, and make up new stories for excuses to make them. >_< Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 21:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Reese was the first one I was going to make. I was just wondering what kind of outfit you had in mind for him. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

It sounds like my character Stevie's outfit, a little, so I'll change it just slightly. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:27, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Reese's pic is done (I felt industrious). The pic looked fine with the outfit you described, so I left it (It turned out better than a lot of mine do, lol!). Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I made you a second version, in case you like him with lighter skin. I can't decide which I like better. >_< Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC) Okay, that's fine. Sorry if I ever sound obsessive. Ha! Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I probably won't make any any more characters for you, tonight, but if you could describe some outfits you had in mind for some of the others that would help a lot. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure.

Tristan: Not overly muscular, more lean an athletic. White Baggy football Jersey with the number "26" printed on the front in bright red. Regular blue jeans and sporty shoes.

Francine: Since you like this character, I'm leaving the design completely up to you.

Quinn: Small circular glasses, short sleeved collared shirt, khaki's and sandels

Parker: Short sleeved shirt with a small UFO, tan cargo shorts, not very tall

Okay, sounds good (yay, Francine! I already have an image in my head). I think I should mention that your character pages are supposed to have a link to your story on them. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I made Francine, also. Yay! Her head started out huge, but I loved the way it looked, anyway, so I left it. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Rachael. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 15:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Good. She was based on a drawing I did for an upcoming character for a story I'm not planning. She was going to be labeled as a "Feminazi", and was going to try to force her opinions on everyone. But since I don't plan on using the idea, I recycled her model.

Tristan's picture should turn to a white jersey, soon. I had it white originally, then I changed it, forgetting that you wanted it white. It looks better that way, anyway. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 17:16, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Good (personally, I like Reese's picture). I made the pictures too large to fit in the boxes your now using on the profile pages (they can go in them, they'd just be made smaller, I believe), since you weren't using those boxes, originally. I think the pictures look better, though, because there's no limit to their size. If that makes sense. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 18:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Wendy. I'm dishing these out faster than I planned... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:29, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I made Charlie... I had nothing to do, today. He's probably nothing like what you imagined, and he's quite unlike any TDI character... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:53, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

The hat sets him apart... I didn't know where to put the eyes, so... No eyes! The pinstripes didn't turn out too well, but I like it better than plain... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:11, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I attempted to give him a single chest hair to make him more "in his own mind", it just didn't look like what I wanted it to. >_< Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Steven. He's pretty plain. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 04:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Laura and Andrew are done now. Both are based on people I saw, today. The girl's cap was facing forward, though, and the guy was wearing shorts. *stops telling boring details* Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:03, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it didn't look right the other way. I was thinking that the picture for Andrew would be better used for Steven. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll do something with the Steven one, or maybe not. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I recolored Steven and got Parker. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:06, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

His heart was originally going to be abducted, but it didn't look the way I wanted it to. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

You can guess who that is. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:44, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Should she have darker skin? Her name is based on Montezuma, I'm guessing. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:23, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

If you want me to change Zuma back just say so, but I liked it better this way, and to me, it made more sense (It might not show up right away).

Here's the latest one, sorry it's been a few days since a new one (only ten more to go). Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I started this one, and thought of the nodded head, later, and started from scratch. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:38, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I've been resizing the images so they fit the boxes without being blurry. Their width needs to be 150. Reese and Francine are beyond hope, though. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 03:53, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Any requests for who I make next (probably tomorrow)? Any more suggestions for outfits? Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 03:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Shannon. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Morgan. If there's any trivia about the character pics, should I post it on their pages? Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:16, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Hannah. Only a few more to go! Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:04, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Now only four to go, now that Edward is done. Anymore appearance suggestions or should I freestyle it? Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 03:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's Andrew. His scale is a lot larger than some others, but that's okay when they aren't on the same page... It's up to you but you can put up the original Steven pic on his page under the trivia section as his original design, like my Quintin page has. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 21:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Here is Nicole. She's based on Brittany from the TV series, Daria. (Andrew ended up looking like a movie star or something) Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

He does! I'm seeing some Nicolas Cage, too, now. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 23:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

All done! Yay! Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:11, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I hope you're satisfied with them... I can't decide whether Andrew or Kevin is my favorite pic... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 03:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I still liked it a lot. I'm sad about Reese's ankle. It's never good to sustain an injury on a "reality" show. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering if I could... Design the characters for Second Chance? I have some fairly strong ideas for several of them... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:23, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's Jesse (Just like old times). I did heavy experimenting with this model, giving him an elongated torso similar to Duncan, an x on the chin, as well as the pose. Hopefully it doesn't look too awkward. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 02:59, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I guess he is a little like Johnny Cage. He's loosely based on the guy from the recent movie, Fighting. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 03:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I never saw it, but there were countless advertisements for it on television. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 03:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's the pic for Ash. I hate to toot my own horn, but this has to be the best one, yet. I made Umi, too, but I'm entirely dissatisfied with it, and will redo it. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 15:58, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I shouldn't say this, but it took almost two hours. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:05, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

This one didn't take nearly as long as Ash, and I'm satisfied with Umi this time. Is it still okay for me to post trivia on the pages if there is any for the character design? Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 18:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Good. Thanks. Hopefully the trivia I put on Umi's page isn't too disturbing... I'm obviously trying to incorporate what they did wrong into their photos... Some are going to be slightly more challenging. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 18:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I have ideas for those two. I'm not sure how I'll execute them, but they'll turn out, hopefully. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 18:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's the one for Tabitha. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

You're a good guesser. ;) Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 01:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's Vince. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 14:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought he looked way better with black hair, so I'll ask if you can change his hair color to black, and then I'll recolor it. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I uploaded a second file with the recolor so you can choose which one you like better. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought the same thing, but I think it's only because he's the first thing I see when I go to your talk page. XD Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 17:01, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Hellen's up. This is the first one that I couldn't fit in the 150 confines... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 06:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

No new character model so stop looking for one. Lol! Anyway, I agree with your thoughts on TDI and TDA. If I didn't see Dodge Brawl first, I'm not sure if I would have been so obsessed with the show, as I hated Not So Happy Campers part 1. Owen was my least favorite character, and I think TDA is suffering from not having new characters. The only character development they're doing is making the characters more flawed. What I liked about the first season was the fact that every character had usually just one flaw. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Everyone is fairly different in season two... Trent and Beth are the only ones I like better, until Beth starts going on about her boyfriend... Blah. I don't view what LeShawna did as that bad, and I feel like her personality is the truest to season 1. She always went crazy over rewards, and would win challenges solely to get a reward out of it. She did deserve to win the getaway with her cousin... But yeah, the minor characters were some of my favorites as they weren't overexposed like some of the others. Oh, before I forget, the clown on your page is awesome. I don't think you would do that bad making your characters (not that I'm quitting, I'm just saying that you're pretty good at it...). Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

My main problem with Owen was his lack of interaction with other characters, his lack of skill at challenges, and... I hate farts as punchlines. What made it worse was that I knew he would win the entire time. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:29, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

So true. I was so confused about why he survived If You Can't Take the Heat, too. He wasn't even in the bottom two. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I intended for Bobby to be shorter, but I kind of just went with it as I made the pic. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 15:26, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

The Beatles look is very common these days. This is actually based on some random person (similar to the Leo one). I get a lot of inspiration from current trends... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 15:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Really? I see the moppy hairdo almost everywhere, and I live in a very small town. If you haven't seen it, watch the Disney Channel for a little while... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 15:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I really don't see any rap star wannabes in my town, anymore, but I used to. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

That sounds fun. We're more likely to be woken up by a cow. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 16:09, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Olivia is the winner of the oddest angle award... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 02:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I was on really late last night, but I usually don't stay up so late... Anyway, I saw a single post by you around that time that was 9,000 some bytes. I don't know why I assumed it wasn't another chapter... I was too tired, I guess. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 15:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay... Here's tough guy, Isaac. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 00:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Isaac took a while to figure out how to make. I did tons of rough drafts trying to get a good face... I tried forever coming up with a good hairstyle. I finally thought of the bandanna/headband thingy, and the rest of the picture fell into place... I always knew that he would be leaning, though, even though it forced a smaller scale...

Here's Kimberly's picture... Yeah... I had absolutely no idea how to make someone look like a drop-out, so I gave her a sweater with a cute cat playing a keyboard! Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 17:47, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Your picture turned out very well. I really think you could make your own characters. ;) I'll have a lot more tips on different body types and facial features and such, in the next lessons. I'm really glad to be a help. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 22:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I put a little gallery of the characters from my stories on my userpage. I was wondering if I could put the characters I did for your story on my page, as well, since I feel like they're some of my best work. It would be in a separate section and there would be links to your character pages and such... Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 19:35, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you fix the videos on my User blog:KoopaKidJr. page? -User:KoopaKidJr.

Never mind. -User:KoopaKidJr.

Thats alright. Did you check out my blog and theme songs? -User:KoopaKidJr.

I think it's a good idea that could use a little tweaking. Maybe they're just on a trip together at an extremely happy place, and good stuff happens to them that they find faults with. Kind of like a Debbie Downer skit. Sprinklemist Send me a message.Or not... 04:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
