Description Admiral Thomas Wilson
Birthplace: United States of America.
Birthday: April 16th
Age: 32
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 130 lbs
Blood type: A
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Brown
Weapon of Choice: assault rifle (doesn’t really like to fight on the front lines)
Family: Wife and two kids (or is it only one kid?)
Species: Human
Likes: Spending time with his family and Karino
Dislikes: Being at work for months at a time and rebels
General Info: A well mannered person, which is odd for someone in the military. Wilson was an excellent fighter pilot before Karino invited Wilson to join his cause. Karino’s hopes and dreams for a united world convinced Wilson to join up. Wilson met his wife during the war when they were invading France. Wilson’s loyalty and skill led to him rising through the ranks of Unified Earth, and when it became the Karino Empire, one of Karino’s first acts was to make Wilson the Admiral of the Karino Empire Fleet. Since becoming an Admiral Wilson has never lost a space battle. This is due to both his strategic brilliance and the fact the Karino Empire has the best space ships in known space. Wilson loves his family, thusly wishes he had more time to spend with them. Wilson is thankful Karino made him Admiral, but it is turning into more of a burden than a gift. Wilson is Karino’s oldest and most loyal friend.

I like that he is shorter than me. I must have some kind of napoleon complex.

I like it
But..... Well.... Maybe next time you could try to make more details to his outfit... He kinda looks like a bellboy, try to draw more medals and add some more details to his jacket and pants

That is a really REALLY red uniform XD Nice work.  I like the changes to the face you made it looks a lot better than when you first showed me so congratz on that

Suggestions time!

- The coloring is nice but I think I might have a tip on how to reduce smudging your lines.  After laying down your lines in black colored pencil, try layering on the color using cross-hatching and building up the color layer by layer until you get it where you want it; this way you won’t smudge and blend the black into your colors by pressing down so hard with your pencils.  Another method could be to put down your colors first (either by cross-hatching or your method of pressing down harder on the pencil) and then putting down your black lines after you have finished blocking in the color.  I know this method might seem strange since it is backwards from what you usually do but it could keep your work looking a lot cleaner

- Nice work on the hands and arms (as you saw with me hands are a real pain in the ass) I would suggest adding some wrinkles on the sleeves were his arms are bending, such as around the elbows.  Also, the line you have for part of his left sleeve would look a bit more natural if it did not extend all the way down the line would only extend down to where the arm bends.

- The buttons on his jacket are not aligned to the center of his body.  Since he is turned at a ¾ view to his left the center line of his body will also be more towards the left.

- The groin area also does not seem to be centered on the center line of his body judging from the seam you have drawn on the front of his pants.  Also, his right hip looks like it is pushed out slightly and is making his stance look kind of awkward; adding a slight protrusion of the thigh on his left leg could balance this out.  Perhaps, reducing the right hip and moving the whole leg in slightly could be another solution.

- (WARNING!  This is just a design suggestion; I know you don’t like others telling you how to design your characters but just keep in mind that I am doing so such thing these are just my own opinions; so just fair warning ) I can’t help but feel that Admiral Wilson should have the “Karino Empire” symbol (the K inside the box) on his uniform since he is the head of Karino’s intergalactic fleet.  Also, I feel he should have the stars depicting his rank pinned to the yellow strips across his shoulders (of course I say this because it is how it is done in real life with the army [not sure about the navy though] but it could be a nice addition to his uniform.   Basically, a lot of the information you had pinned to Sara’s vest in your “Sara The Palace Administrator Redesign 1” image could be added to this image as well.

That is all I have to say about his image; I hope you find this information helpful and good work

are you telling me i used too much color? thank you. thank you once again i didn't lay down lines with the black color pencil. the smudges don't exist, the scanner just made black where there was none. yeah i know you said that. but i see no point to it when he's wearing a military uniform. wait what? can you explain the star thing to me or show me a picture of what your talking about. this would be more navy like than army. since there is the Karino Fleet, which essentially is the Navy, Marines and airforce., and the army which is just the ground forces minus the marines. yes, Admiral Wilson can have a redesign. if this star thing you are talking about is interesting enough i might do it. i'm not going to do the K badge since he is military. you might want to note that so far the only people with the K badge are people who work in the palace.

Arekage In reply to EmperorKarino [2013-08-11 20:38:12 +0000 UTC]

No I was just saying that the red is really bright.

 I see...well you need to beat up your scanner XD

What were you referring to when you said "yeah I know you said that. But I see no point to it when he's wearing a military uniform."?

 You know how generals wear their stars across their shoulders to show their rank like a 5-star General for instance.  I was thinking something like that; however, I am not sure if they do the same for Admirals in the navy.

I wasn’t thinking about an entire costume change like you did with Sara but more of just adding on a few details to his current uniform.  Perhaps looking up some reference to military uniforms from around the world could give you some interesting ideas for your own unique uniform   or you can make up your own uniforms like in Full Metal Alchemist or something.  Now that I think about it, those that are in the military have a lot of different uniforms for different occasions, such as formal wear, casual, training, and on duty; so technically you could have a lot of different outfits for Admiral Wilson and any other military personal if you wish (just a thought to keep in mind ) Also, I was suggested you put the K badge on him because he is in the military.  Usually military personal from a particular country will have some specific symbol showing which country they are from; such as an Eagle for America.

well i'm not the one who prompted the change, you did. if you want me to change it you need very specific things, so you'll do the leg work of getting the references, or you can just put the changes you want on the drawing you are currently working on. if i like the changes then i might make them the official look. but i think he is fine as is. no one has complained so far.

I was just offering some suggestions to get you thinking if there was anyting you could do to improve his look; that is all.  Besides, has anyone ever complained about any of your work?

i think i've gotten a few complaints here and there, admittedly not often. or at least not about designs.

But you tend to just listen to the majority I notice.  Well that's alright I have voiced my opinions and that is all I can do.

yeah, i do cater to the majority, but i listen to you too. i drew sara without a labcoat that should show you that i listen.

True.  I guess I just feel this character could be improved but if you think he is perfect as is then I will drop the subject.

you don't have to drop it. like i said you can draw how you are picturing Admiral Wilson in your drawing of him, or you can link me some examples of what your talking about.

I suppose I can try drawing him, but I will do that later...I am already juggling a bunch of pictures at once.
