Description First of all, my computer has deigned to let D&Ds work in Snow Scene, so I can make dolls there again

To celebrate this glorious event, I used D&Ds to make a set of emblems, representing different social groups of Ydnel, the world of one of my own stories.

 Second, to practice more at making patterns in Snow Scene Maker, I am going to make some adoptable dolls
 
They would be based on the people belonging to the classes I described above. Is anyone interested?

Well, you should not adopt it if you do not really like it. Actually you can as just as request a picture of your OC or even of yourself in Ydnel. Or you can just make a creative suggestion and help me to find inspiration.
Whatever you decide, please state:
- gender (male or female),
- age (15+ please, it is impossible to make kids in Snow Scene properly)
- social group - choose one of the 12 above (do not hesitate to ask for more information)
- the kind of outfit (for cold/warm weather, everyday, festive/fomal, wedding)
- preferred colour(s), perhaps some special features/accessoires
- it would
add to the personality if you come up with a name as well, and please tell what this name means
- if you request your own OC, please give some info about them

Fulfiled requests:

a healer, a goldsmith, a noblewoman and a noble maiden ;
  a princess, a perfumer, a road guard and a painter ;
  a trio of outlaws .


Now to the emblems:

 Please enlarge for full view!

First row:  

1  travellers and explorers; messengers; other people engaged in transport affairs like inn-keepers, cab drivers and ship owners;
 I tried to picture sea - the sun and seagulls, waves with drops of spindrift and underwater creatures - snails, starfish and scallop (with a pearl just for the proper spirit);
Preferred colours - blues, greens, cream and brown;

2  herdsmen living mostly in mountain areas and steppes, engaged in animal breeding for food, transport etc;

Preferred colours - red, orange, yellow, rust, brown, grey, sometimes also a bit of blue and violet for decoration;

10  crimestoppers and guards;
 I tried to picture a bow and an arrow and a sword on a patterned swordbelt;
Preferred colours - red, rust, brown, black for guards in Erum; blue, white and gold for guards of Nidan; greens and browns for road guards in both lands;

11  people engaged in all kind of crafts, building and extraction of minerals, metals and precious stones (royalty of Nidan also goes here since they came from craftsmen);

Thank you very much! I am so glad that you like them !
 
As to your request:
- do you want his hair to be dark brown, light brown or dark fair? Skin tone and eye colour depend of that.
- a festive outfit sounds good, just if you would let me know about the preferred colours
- a jeweller sounds good too

"Very charming but shy"...
Oh, when you told this, I immediately imagined him falling in love with a noble girl whom he met at the ball...

As far as I see, the lighter brown refers to his hair colour, then his eyes will be light hazel.

So what about the colours of the outfit?

Oh yes- Warmer colors would be great- maybe a marigold and a hint of light indigo?

Arrelline In reply to falling-lights-3127 [2016-07-15 17:15:39 +0000 UTC]

Marigod... Probably then warm red, orange and yellow at once? Analogous colours would go well together. And a touch of indigo, for the sake of variety.

This looks like a fun idea and I have been looking for something a little different, so if it's not too much trouble I think I'll make a request too:

-Female
-21
-10
-Battle armor(?) or something she would have worn if she hadn't become a knight
-Gray and/or dark blue
-I was thinking Emmeline or Emmory
-She's a knight but only a few people know. Her family was killed when she was young so her entire village took care of her. She disappeared in her early teens, secretly training to become a knight. Now she's part of the army (or military, whatever it would be called) still concealing her identity although word of is spreading of a female in the ranks

This sounds like a really fun idea! I look forward to seeing where you take it!

Arrelline In reply to Rapunzel-Arj [2016-07-13 08:23:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, it is nice to know .
Now to your request.
- should her hair be black, dark brown, light brown or dark fair? Skin tone and eye colour depend on this.
- armour sounds interesting, I would prefer a full uniform in sky blue, silver and gold, but I can make a battle armour in dark blue and grey as well
- what could her name mean in Ydnel?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Rapunzel-Arj In reply to Arrelline [2016-07-13 10:48:10 +0000 UTC]

-I was thinking black or dark brown
-As far as color goes dark blue and gray were just suggestions, if gold, silver and sky blue are easiest, by all means please use those
-And if you discover that armour is too difficult, just make a dress instead
-Hmm, I suppose it could be something like "Legendary" or "Immortal" (although she's not). I'm not quite familiar with Ydnel yet so the possibilities are endless

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Arrelline In reply to Rapunzel-Arj [2016-07-13 15:56:31 +0000 UTC]

Then let it be black hair and eyes.
All right then, I will make her in armour. In Ydnel, she would be in the army of Nidan (unlike Erum, in Nidan people appreciate you for what you make good, regardless of your gender or origin). She may be even in royal guard, then I could make her a full uniform with silver armour and sky blue cloak, both with golden adornment.

𝒩𝑜𝓉𝑒 𝐹𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝐸𝒸𝒽𝑜 These are all so elegant and intricate!  I don't know how you do it!  Your stuff is always so amazing!  Sounds like you've created a pretty complex world too!  Could you tell us a little more about things that might not be familiar to people who don't know much about this mythical world such as... royalty of Erum, Chaos, Light, Great Balance, Reborn, lyde essence, royalty of Niday, and templars?  What are those things?  They sound like they might be related to some sort of religion or something perhaps?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Arrelline In reply to EchoesOfAnEnigma [2016-07-13 10:02:42 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I am so glad that you like them !

Well, yes, Ydnel is a world of my creation, and I am trying to make it complicated enough .
First of all, it is a fantasy, which means the presence of some kind of magic (a rarity for my stories, despite I like all things fairytale and fantasy).
Light (it is called Great Balance) and Chaos (respectively Ylenorem and Enortos) are two deities of that world, endlessly fighting for the rule over the world through its people.
Templars are a group of people with magical abilities (or you could call them supernatural - mind-reading, telekinesis, sometimes clairvoyance or shape-shifting etc.), they help to keep the balance and harmony in the world. They worsihp Ylenorem, the Great Balance, just like the vast majority of people, but they are called templars because of their supernatural abilities and the different appearance cause by them - unlike the rest of local people with tan skin and dark eyes and hair, templars have fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. Mixed marriages are quite rare, but enough to have a small stratum of people of mixed origin as well, they inherit a weak form of abilities which eventually fade through following generations.
Reborn is a person destined to be the fighter and protector of the world in dark times when Chaos becomes stronger. Reborn is born with the most powerful magical abilities in the world, being called Reborn, because a person like this appeared several times during the world's history, it had always been a maiden with the same face, which is portrayed in pictures and statues. The story's main heroine is a Reborn, at least it is what everyone, including her, think. Here is an old picture of her with some info of her character.
There are two countries in Ydnel, Erum and Nidan, both having a monarch (a king in Erum and a queen in Nidan), hence the mention of royalty.
And lyde essence is a famous perfume being made of flowers (called lyde) and fruits of nilat, a local plant inspired by earthy cherry-tree and almond.

Well, I am afraid, it is not especially original *sigh* but nevertheless it is a story and world my own creation and not just an OC for some famous fandom .

Arrelline In reply to EchoesOfAnEnigma [2016-07-18 13:08:14 +0000 UTC]

Well, thank you ! Although it is not that complex or original. I mean, there are like 100 millions of own "original'' worlds and stories created by other people. And this is just a 100 millions and 1st one... But it means a lot to me, because there is a lot of dreams, thoughts, meditations and planning put into it. Geography, nature, history, language, culture with its traditions and fashions, social structure and relations, the characters and story plots at last - five years of my life I dedicated to this. After that, being accused of being unoriginal is the last thing what I care about .

Well, it is not a big dedication really. I mean, during these five years I did not spend each day thinking of it, rather on the contrary, I thought of it quite occasionally, there were time periods when I did not even recall about it for months, being more interested in other stories of mine (and in particular Book of Lives which had grown into my current favourite own story). There is yet an incredibly huge list of what I should think about regarding Ydnel and its stories! If only I had more motivation!.. But still there is something set up and I like it!

But as to your request, I fear he does not fit into 8th group. I wonder why you decided to put him there, for to me he does not look like a warrior of Light . I may be mistaken of course since I do not know anything about him. But anyway they can only have golden blonde hair...

I do not know anything about him, how can I judge? So if you would tell more about him, and perhaps about other OCs that you had in mind. Then I would be able to tell which one would fit to which group .

Princess-Icicles In reply to Arrelline [2016-07-12 16:37:02 +0000 UTC]

Cassidy's personality: Cassidy is described as the most wildest, bestest “bro” one would ever want to meet. An incorrigible mischief-maker, Cassidy’s up for anything — joyriding, bungee-jumping, bank robbing, peyote dropping. He’s also a relentless conversationalist with opinions on everything from religion to politics to pop culture. 

I was also thinking about Trixie Newton, the OC from my 25 Day OC Challenge. 

Lastly I was thinking about my newest OC Edelle Nygma . Edelle is intelligent, calculating, kind, and caring. Her meticulous and observant nature makes her an excellent forensic scientist, often detecting clues and connections her superiors miss. However she is also narcissistic, being infatuated by her intelligence and enjoys telling riddles to prove this, much to the annoyance of most of her co-workers. She can also be awkward, unintentionally insulting, and selfish.

You can pick which OC you like the most

Arrelline In reply to Princess-Icicles [2016-07-12 19:38:29 +0000 UTC]

Well, he sounds like an alluring rascal . You know what? I have been already requested a thief, so they could make a gang so to say, together with Trixie, if you do not mind. I mean, I could make them all together in one picture, a group of outlaws (would be a whole new experience)...

Arrelline In reply to Princess-Icicles [2016-07-13 07:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Agreed! Just some questions.
- Their genetics. As far as I can say, they both have black hair, which is all right (I can make Trixie's hair dyed though, but in this case I would prefer darker tones). But then their eyes should be black or at least dark brown, and I would say, go for it - if I make Trixie with dyed hair, she will be recognizable anyway.
- Their outfits - colours, features, items to hold etc. What about cloaks and shoes?
- Their names. As outlaws, I think they would have rather nicknames - what nicknames you would give them?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Princess-Icicles In reply to Arrelline [2016-07-13 08:07:57 +0000 UTC]

Cassidy's hair is a really dark brown. Yeah she would be recognisable with her dyed hair you can make it darker if you like

- For clothes Cassidy is always casual and likes the colours blue, red and white. He might have something stolen in his hand. For cloaks and shoes they would probably both be red.

- For clothes Trixie doesn't mind dressing up and looking fancy. Her favourite colours are black, purple and green but she'll wear any colours. She might hold a dagger or something similar. For a cloak it would be a black shade probably and loves to wear heels.

- Cassidy's nickname would probably be Blade.

- Trixie's nickname would probably be Dagger.

As to making them, it is easy when you know what you want to get in the end. Or, in my case, you have some vague ideas and start putting random drag&drops to see if they would look good together .

Do you have a favourite?
Also, would you like to make a request ()see the details at the beginning of the picture's description)?

Aranel125 In reply to Arrelline [2016-07-11 18:43:57 +0000 UTC]

It is hard to pick a favourite, but let it be 3,7 (because I love nature, especially fairytale one, and these "landscapes" are so fairytale-like),8 (the very essence of purity) and 11 (it makes me think of something oriental and exotic).
As to a request, I'm not good at inventing my own characters, but maybe I'll think about it.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Arrelline In reply to Aranel125 [2016-07-11 19:11:09 +0000 UTC]

I love nature too . So usually it plays a significant part in my stories. For this story I am actually inventing my own world with its unique flora and fauna. For example, the yellow flower in the 3th emblem is altenlik, a five-petalled flower whose name means "a little star"; this plant has its place in Ydnel culture, being pictured at the coins, a symbol of luck and wealth, it is also featured in the 9th emblem as the symbol of traders.

I am glad that you like the 8th emblem, because ''the very essence of purity'' is what I aimed to picture, it is the symbol of light and justice, and of everything good in general.

I also like exotic things (especially the culture of India), and I adore patterns, so partly I made this to have a reason for making them, particularly in Snow Scene which has quite a handy set of drag&drops.
As to requests, actually you do not have to invent a character from a scratch. You could request some of your existing characters, or even a picture of yourself, how you would look in an Ydnel outfit.

- female.
- 19 years old
- Number six is said to be royalty, right?
- an everyday outfit is good
- pink, lilac (the color), and some beige. A larimar pendant and a birthmark on her left shoulder.
- As for the name, it could be Estelle.

Arrelline In reply to DarkQueen013 [2016-07-09 14:20:56 +0000 UTC]

Some more points:
- do you want her to be a princess or just a noblewoman?
- what should the birthmark look like?
- I can just make a pendant or a necklace with aqua blue coloured stones since anyway in such small scale of the game one would not be able to tell if it is a larimar, aquamarine, turquoise or light sapphire
- would it be all right if I change her name to Altena (it means "star" in the local language, the same as Estelle)?

DarkQueen013 In reply to Arrelline [2016-07-09 14:50:48 +0000 UTC]

-a princess is fine.
-like a small star if it's not too difficult for you.

-Altena sounds just as pretty as Estelle so yeah, you can change it!
