Author Topic: Personality through pictures (Read 14174 times)

Ok, this is an idea I just thought up, that'll either go decently well or completely flop i'm guessing. :V This thread is a kindred spirit to the 'Favorite Depiction' thread, except a little different.

Explain what you like about your favorite characters, except with a catch. No words, but up to three pictures that give an good impression of the personality depiction that you like the most (Or even three completely different interpretations that show their dynamic nature!)

Nazrin:

Suwako:

Sabino · « **Reply #1 on:** June 10, 2010, 05:26:06 AM »

Like this?

Kanako:

Yuugi:

Nobu · « **Reply #2 on:** June 10, 2010, 05:36:32 AM »

Yes! Though something seems to be up with that second Yuugi picture's link.

Really, a picture is worth a thousand words, and it's way easier to show why you like a character as opposed to saying why.

The last one DOES have a special meaning, but it is esoteric like hell, and yet is the closest I can get to describing my favorite

Alice inclusion unintentional. If you prefer, you can ignore all three of these pictures and just use my avatar.

Nue:

I'd do Kanako, but someone else already has and I'm feeling lazy.

Fix-edit: Second image is down already? That's pretty poor even for Imageshack.
Fix-edit2: Ditto for the 3rd one.

Oh, good thread Nobu. Hndfgjf, if I only weren't at school atm. I'll get back to this thread this afternoon.

Nobu · « **Reply #10 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:57:54 AM »

We figured you were being held up because you couldn't decide which three pictures to post out of the scores of Remilia you have saved. :V

I knew that would come up at some point.

An interesting challenge, I accept. I only need one image here. Granted, I could do 2-3 but it's more "fun" this way:

Oops... seems to happen when I upload stuff with japanese names on it, wonder why

Ah well, it's an extra picture of our beautiful goddess Kanako.

Hmm, this is quite fun :3

I think I'll deposit another set for Kanako

and one for Reimu:

Grand Octopus · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2010, 09:25:06 AM »

nm, Kanako was easy:

Nazrin is Near? This is intriguing...

As for my favorite character...

This one picture should suffice...

I need one picture to display Remilia's personality.

And of course, the original nuetongue. :3

Goddamnit, three pictures is too few. :<

Sapz: That's the challenge, and part of what separates this from 'Let's post pictures of our favorite characters!'

I might actually try posting Chen when I get home, because there's a particular depiction of Chen I like that you don't see very often.

This thread idea is exce-cool. Unfortunately I don't really browse thru Touhou images so I can't reall conjure up some to do what I'd like.
Hele's Remi shot is indeed good, but it lacks her potentially friendly charisma too. The same kind that won patchy's hard to win (and flan's) heart, along with Sakuya's abnormal loyalty IMO. I'd offer one that captures that aspect well, but...yeah >=(

And as usual, Haniwa delivers.

Insert obligatory danbooru warning here.

A few posts don't quite make an obvious impression of character. As far as I can tell, the three pictures are supposed to portray the three best aspects of a character's personality, or at least one interpretation of it. Posting three awesome pictures... doesn't exactly do that. There's a reason why we don't just post all these in the "lol touhou pics" thread.

Helepolis · « **Reply #24 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:10:10 PM »

Drake is right, this thread has the purpose to express your feeling over the character in pictures. No need to post three times the an image where the character only shows the same.

Actually I tried to find a childish picture of Remilia acting like a little bitch. But I couldn't find one aside from the overload of moe-moe stuff which is not in my perspective her canon form. I don't see any friendly Charisma in Remilia, as she is a spoiled childish brat. I'll add one more picture now that I brainstormed, which might fit Remilia.

I'd explain why I chose the picture I chose, but that would defeat the purpose of the thread, wouldn't it? :/

My Gengetu pictures DO show the traits I like. Not my fault only I can see them. :<

Bias Bus · « **Reply #27 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:30:23 PM »

I figured that was the purpose of this thread from the beginning. So I handpicked a few things that I believe got my point across.

Trust me, I didn't just pull any random Luize or Shinki pic off my majhost for this. Then again, it's not exactly easy with Luize since there's barely any art of her :/

Drake is right, this thread has the purpose to express your feeling over the character in pictures. No need to post three times the an image where the character only shows the same.

But, I like the three picture thing and how you get to express three (possibly) different aspects of the character you love so much.
Since, if it was just one picture to show that you like the interpretation of the character, wouldn't this be the same as "Favorite depiction of Touhou characters" thread?
...Although I do agree that you might want it to be three pictures pointing at different aspects of the character.
But then again using words to fulfill that purpose seems to defeat the purpose of the thread...
