CAW advice (creative block SUX!)

[Dean Maddoxxx]

So earlier today I was scrapping one of my '09 CAWs in order to start fresh. I have a fair amount of male and female caws (20 males, 1 Tweener and 7 females) and want to make a female heel, but I don't know what kind of look to go for.

You guys are the most creative when it comes to CAW so any suggestions or ideas from anyone would be appreciated.

Whenever I make a new CAW I usually base their looks on real wrestlers. My main heel CAW (Rebecca Rave) is based on Melina and Rosa Mendes. Her wrestling attire is black and red and street clothes are most of the time leather.

lol that's what i do to.Base my wrestlers off of real ones but i put a unique twist/look to them so there not a copycat.

When making CAWs I usually try to visualize celebrities or any other people like friends, family, etc... But really with that you want to start thinking of the kind of character they would play, Psychotic Heel? Bitchy Heel? Almost all different kinds of gimmicks have a whole different look. For example, Katie Lea plays a goth heel, her character would not fit the look of Velvet Sky who is the bitchy heel... Well I could really rant on and on and on about this, but those are usually the two things I do... But if all else fails, just go in to CAW mode and go with the flow! You really never know what you will get out of creating off the top of your head, I've gotten some pretty good CAWs off of doing that. So basically, just consider her character, people you know of, and go with your ideas!

Hope this helps!

Off-topic: ^^^Katie Lea is just recycling Shelly Martinez' gimmick. She just needs to be the female version of Paul Burchill, brutal in the ring and doesn't give a sh** if you like her or not. That's how I remember her in her "Nikita" days from SHIMMER.

As for CAW writers' block, start thinking randomly...that's how I get half the CAW ideas for my CAWs. And like how Showbiz said, using your friends as inspiration always helps. Just like how I'm going to put my bud Matt on steroids for his remake/revision in SVR10 LMAO, even though TB has banned me from doing it....

My CAWs have been inspired by celebrities and other people mostly. I need visual aids before I go create something, if I do something from the top of my head it wont turn out as good.

Delta Madison was inspired by Christina Aguilera during her dirty phase, her wrestling attire is based off a costume she wore in her concert tour.

Amiee was firstly inspired by Lita but when I found Dulce Maria I thought she was the prefect image. Her character was inspired by many other things such as my friends, TV show characters and my own imagination.

Thanks peeps! Your help has definitely come in handy!

After reading all the replies so far, I've managed to come up with someone who is about Lacey Von Erich's height and build. I'm still working on an overall look for her though I'm torn between a "Dark Angel" gimmick and something that Maryse would wear.

As far as facial features go, Im choosing from a two really good formulas of Katie Lea and Beth Phoenix (for some reason, I keep seeing their jawlines in my brain as Im tinkering with Face Morph atm).

Thanks again and keep the advice coming if there's any more that is!
