Description So I have a Nine fan character now, and his name is Pins.

Basically, I just drew him a lot and threw some words on the page because I was bored. So the song lyrics mean nothing more than what I was listening to at the time I drew this. Oh, and Six. I don't know why I drew Six with him. Probably because drawing Six is fun.

Stats time!

Number: None. He's been dubbed Pins for all the sewing implements holding him together.
Height: 7"
Weight: 3.4 oz.
Abilities: Physically weak, and impaired by his blind- and muteness. His long, willowy body would make for an excellent fighter if he tried, but unfortunately, he's hesitant from his impairments. His hands are made of long, sharp sewing needles. He can use these as weapons or tools, i.e. climbing up the side of an object. Since he cannot see he must feel his way around most everywhere. Unfortunately, this means if he were attempting to 'see' another stitchpunk, he might accidentally hurt them.
Bio: He was an early design for the newer stitchpunks. The scientist was experimenting with body types and structures to see what worked the best, but wasn't satisfied with Pins' design. Pins was discarded and used as a pincushion as the scientist developed the others. He's got no eyes, and his mouth is stitched up. He's both blind and mute. Pins is hesitant and shy due to his inability to see or speak, but makes up for it with curiosity and innocence. His hands are made of long, sharp sewing needles, which makes touching things rather hard without cutting them up. His razor-sharp fingers can be used as obvious weapons, and good tools for climbing, cutting, digging, or mending items or objects.
How he came to life: When the scientist gave the others his life, scraps and shards of his life force splattered freely, like stray drops of water. These were drawn to and collected in Pins ,and woke the rag doll after the life settled in his body.
Song: Sorrows Lullaby .

Hey; this is gonna sound weird but could i adopt this gut from you? I really like his look and abilites which gave me an idea for any character like this. if i can't adopt him (will pay points) than could i make a character similiar in looks and name maybe if i refrenceed back to here? I understand if you say no but i had to ask.

Thank you for at least asking! Thing is, I'm revamping him into a different character, and I don't think it'd be good to have two of the same type of character running around. You could always base a character off of him (with credit given, of course), but as for adoption, I'm sorry, but he's not up for sale!

So I could make a character based off him? Is it okay if I use the original design most but turn it female than if your revamping him? On a side note thank you so much for being so understanding about this. Now I'll just need a name for the character close to Pins but different; any thoughts?

Feel free to use some creative license when using the original design - for instance, it's not much of a based-off-of-a-character if it's the exact same colors and patterns.
No problem; I don't mind based off of characters so long as you give credit where credit is due. ^^
Nah, you gotta come up with that yourself! Be creative! There are plenty of online resources if you're lost.

I think it’s the idea of the hands and patched together colors for a body I like best about Pins here; so I’ll do my best to make a character similar but also with my own spin on it so that I’ll have my own claim to it.

Β 

But I will also credit back to you for the idea and make sure people know where it originated from. And I’ll find a name somewhere, thanks for the okay and I’m off the try my luck.

VERY nice character design. I really love how he has needles for hands, seems like a nice nod to Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands. He seems like such a tragic character too. He looks absolutely terrifying, but I wonder what his personality's REALLY like.

The only thing I would change about his design is to make his neckerchief... thing... the same color as the ribbon around his waist.

I very much love his elongated figure and long legs, quite different from the long torsos and short legs of the other characters.

Very wonderful design and bio.

Danke. ^^ I realized it resembled Mr. Depp's Scissorhands long after I'd drawn it. If it was a nod, it was an unintentional nod. Lol.

Oh? What makes you say that? The string around his waist is a leftover thread from a sweater the scientist had. All of Pins' pieces are different colors because he was a pincushion for all the odd scraps the scientist had left over from designing the other dolls. Therefore, the scientist didn't care what went where, and Pins is very mismatched because of it. ^^

Danke again! ^^

I actually really liked mismatched/patchwork stitchpunks. I think it suits him well. The only reason I say that is because I felt that the white was a bit too distracting, especially since the rest of him is a bit dark in comparison. I thought maybe making the neckerchief the same color as the ribbon, or maybe black or just a darker color, would be a bit less distracting.
Just a simple suggestion, though. I think either way, his design is simply awesome. ^^

Danke! I try my hardest to make characters as canon and believable as I can without rewriting the original script too much. ^^ I'm glad you find him interesting! I'd like to do more with him in the future, but as of now, midterms and work are consuming my life.

Danke! (: I'm glad I could make an impression. My goal was to create a character not of typical semblance used in Nine fan characters, while still keeping him slightly canon and possibly in the same style and make as the others.

I think I did okay.
