Hi! Making an article to explain myself since the post may be too long.


I'm trying to make fluffy fabric! A new thing I have in mind is to give sensations when you look at certain parts of the character, so you have a more specific feeling about them.

I think for some characters, the best hints are what that character itself is searching for in their outfit and that's also what a lot of real people do! For example, here Naoki is wearing a fluffy and cozy scarf, and it hints that he may be a person that searches for a lot of coziness in his life, like in what he wears, some hobbies and his opinions in life. Does it makes sense? I hope so

It certainly adds more expression and realism if you think about your OCs like they're real people, with hobbies, maybe a family, even blood groups!

Note that the character creation revolves around a lot of things that may have nothing to do with the story you want to tell, but it helps build a more realistic and "all round" character, instead of making up a fast, plane character that only serves for the purpose of your story plot.

Feel free to use these free advices for the creation of your OCs if you want I'm not going to tell you that it will be easy in the start, but you're gonna get used to making up ideas and you'll give your immagination and creativity a big boost.

And practice makes you perfect, they say. So, what are you waiting for?

Hello! This is the drawing I was talking about that took me several days (still wip)

So, I'm studying shades and lights so I can make my characters more "deep". After this, I'll try to color it with alternative ways in Clip Studio.

Let's see how it goes!

Hello! Listening to Caparezza while adding first layer of colors to an old OC design. Maaaybe I'll live him with the original features. Maybe.

This is Naoki , by the way. He may be gay, or just feminine.

Actually I may give him better eyes...

Hello! I finished Hana! You'll love her, you'll see. She's so precious and misunderstood.. She came out really well! I tried to add some light in the eyes too. Maybe I could improve it a bit, but for now I'm satisfied.

Hi! Redacting the choice tree. Instead of explaining what happens, I'll send all of it in the "plot explanation" sheet. Meanwhile, here I'll just turn everything into a "yes or no" choice tree, so it can be less chaotic and more organized. a little peek
