I don't draw, but I do have randon OCs, that I write descriptions of every once in a while just to update their interests and powers. I have no interest in actually writing a story. It's more like doodling (except with words).
i barely started the video but i just wanna say, i have this town called Land Of OOF (loosely based on a minecraft world lol) and it's my go-to whenever i have a character of mine that isn't in/been added to any other story yet so the town is just a town for silly random guys, and that's the whole point of it now
@@Rosemadi.artist the only story i made up for it is this human guy (since most of the characters are anthro in some way) visits and just does stuff..?? idk still workshopping it, might make it a game or something
i had an oc named Jaylen who only exists because i wanted to draw a scene kid. now their in my cinematic universe that tells the story in double y split end narrative order (there are like 5 plots at once), now they attend student counseling because Jaylen's mom died at a furry con and the student counselor is only there for service learning hours (otherwise they are a living suicide hazard ), was killed by a witch and somehow ended up participating in a masquer against sinners, hellborn, a cult, and ohio residents. the funny thing is that they hardly matter to the plot
Jaylen has quite the resume and I'm happy for them, but you need to explain how their mom died at the furry con 😭 Is this a meme story, or is this taken 100% serious. Cause when I see the word Ohio, idk what to believe 😭 well your name is meme
What I did was put all my OCs into a fantasy world I’m building so there’s always somewhere that can put an OC- it’s a whole world with billions of people and thousands of years of history so I can have as many OCs as i want
I have 29 OCs and only like 4 or 5 have a story LOL and that's because I recently wrote them one even though most of them are years old... so thank u this is perfect timing!!
Reminds me of my OC I call School Girl. I draw her on my worksheets when I'm bored and just want to draw a quick little character. No story whatsoever, and her only consistent design is moles under her eyes and bangs. She hates algebra. That's it.
Idk why this reminded me of 8th grade when I forgot to put my name on the worksheet, so my teacher held up the paper and said "who drew big eyes over here" cause of course I drew on it but didn't write my name 💀💀💀 for some reason I imagine that's what your OC school girl looks like, but deep down I'm assuming it's probably a better looking doodle haha
Please PLEASE release Annoying Music.ogg into the world. I unironically think it bangs And I relate so hard, all my characters were just made entirely for funsies and now I don't know WHAT to do with them. They just kinda exist. What universe? All of them, who knows, who cares. They're just standing there
Omg join my discord and I'll send you the ogg and mp3. It's funny cause my editing software didn't accept ogg so I had to convert it 😭 anyways that's a bunch of my OCs as well, they're just vibing in the void
@@Rosemadi.artist Well Ive already created an entire planet with history, laws, its own inhabitants and stuff. AND I have some earth characters that help with my oc's EXTREMELY complicated lore. Recently, for eg, I wanted this dynamic (idk how to explain it but this short explains it well : th-cam.com/users/shortsvhq66X7rgHo?si=Nd9nFNPr-Gq3d88x ) So I just took one of my earth characters who had no lore rlly and gave him a girlfriend :D
While my OCs do have an established canon, I just like to draw them in silly scenarios or imagine them running around doing things outside of their story(ies).
6:40 "one of us has to change, and it's not gonna be me" 😂😂 also 15:45 is a really cool idea for super power! The only OCs I have are in my writing, I've never drawn any, unless my sona counts, but I do plan on drawing some eventually, since I do have ideas for them! Great video!
Honestly, the song is kinda awesome. Anyways, I love your artstyle and designs! And I really appreciate this video, makes me feel less weird for having so many OCs not in stories
Thanks, that truly means a lot! 💕 And that's what I strive for in these videos, just trying to find people who relate haha! Also I'll let my sister know what you said about annoying music 😭
Just wanted to say I checked your website out for the first time and I find the format you use for the webcomic really cool!! The combination of moving images and actual written content makes for such a nice balance that I’ve found myself really enjoying!
Awe that really made my day thanks so much! 💕💕 yeah I couldn't find an app or website that accepted both animations and writing to the format that I wanted so I thought to make a website where it was possible! I definitely hope to inspire more people to try it too cause it's super fun! Thanks for reading!!
I usually just create ocs without a story, but then later on I give them one. For example; my new ocs Andro, Gyne and Androgyne were made based off my gender presentation and now I just make Androgyne go through my horrors lol, Andro and Gyne just do whatever and Andro sometimes try to not get attacked by Androgyne when they're in their *FREAK👹* mode.
@@Rosemadi.artist Androgyne is the one with the FREAK👹 mode, not Andro and Gyne (just saying just in case, the A & G are normal guys). Anyways more infodump, Androgyne thinks of this guy a lot and what he thinks of her (he's still unknown by the way, I based him off of a guy classmate that I'm curious about). Sometimes she tries to get romantical with him, sometimes she thinks she's doing something wrong or making him uncomfortable so she may think badly of herself. Also Androgyne used to think pretty highly of herself until she got humbled, now she just sits in her trashed realm imagining fantasies then reality-checking herself. Also Androgyne likes meat a lot and may be cannibalistic at times
"until she got humbled" That sentence needs more explanation cause Idk those are like my favorite types of arc, a good old humbling. But anyways the story sounds pretty entertaining!
Omg this is amazing I luv how u just got ocs that can be used for anything! This helped me a bit cos I thought I had to make a large crazy story for all my ocs 😭 now I know I don't gotta do that. Keep up the good work! I luv ur art and vids :>
I'm glad this video helped! Yeah OCs can just be actors for the meme, nothing too deep when it comes to them and that's what makes them fun! Anyways thanks thanks so much!!💕💕💕
the not wanting parallels thing reminded me of my dm (the campaign ended two months ago but i dont knwo what else to call her) with her autistic scottish dwelf named Click who she thought was completely original somehow back when she first made him but every time i think of him i just i just think of how she showed us all of the characters he's been compared to and i don't remember them all but two of them were scrooge mcduck from ducktales reboot and bobble from tinkerbell and it's all i think about when i think about him. because i bet you can tell *exactly* what he's like now from that alone. so you're not alone in that ballpark lmao anyway all of my ocs are involved in a story unless you count the ones i adopted to make a story around in the future or the three warrior cats ocs i salvaged from the dumpster the other day and decided that i liked enough to keep. but even then some of my ocs are like side characters from a fanfic i wrote that i just liked enough to keep and i want to give them a story but i dont know what it would even be. though one of the ocs appeared in my dream last night and i married it i think???? i was going to cosplay as it for halloween then i think i wound up marrying it?? i dont know what that was about. but. i guess it's gonna get married 🤷♀
Okay, my OCs were in my dreams this week as well. It was so random, but they had to disguise themselves because they weren't real. And I gave them a hug because they were sad they were fake. I woke up like, "WTF am I treating them as real people now help 😭" but I rarely get fictional characters in my dreams, so I'm jealous of everyone who does anywayssssssssssss that makes me wonder now, if all your OCs are involved in a story, does that mean you make the stories before the characters???
@@Rosemadi.artist for a few, i did make stories before the characters! like for one of my fanfics i needed a lot of side characters to fit roles so when i eventually divorced the fic's general story from the source material, they just came with the story (still want to give them like spin offs though). but for others, like my with my sona, i made a couple of characters first (sona and basic love interest) then added a bit of story and made more characters i believe. idr it was like 2018 lmao. but i do believe i make characters with story roles in mind a lot of the time, at the very least. for another character i had her as the mysterious antagonist of a story and then i made her like near the end. then i gave her two separate other stories just for her and created other characters (do NOT ask how many) to serve the purpose of her stories. then i gave her sister a girlfriend. so i guess i usually build them up tangentially but sometimes i have a guy from before?? i don't really know or remember but i got into art specifically for storytelling so it'd make sense
That's extremely interesting that that's the relationship between stories and characters for your universe(s) You know, until your comment, I don't think I ever really questioned what came first. But Tbh it really is a case by case bases! I've tried both ways but truly most of the time I just doodle something and then decide to make them a character and then as the story evolves, I just make more characters for that universe!
I struggle with designing my characters too 🥲 so I create mood boards based on the kind of style I want my character to have Ex: If my character likes cutesy things I find outfits that I think are cutesy and draw an outfit based on that
That sounds like a reasonable explanation, Joy, but by doing that, I have to accept that these two will always be static characters, and idk how to feel about that. 😭😭
Someone once said my art style looks like Gorillaz and someone else said it looked like it was from Adult Swim which I didn't intend on any on those I don't even watch Adult Swim.
Yeah that's what always weirds me out. i feel like that's why the parallels happen. You can't be aware of what you're "copying" if you don't even engage with said content. But I digress
Okay, but why would anyone WANT to beat the Numbuh 3 allegations? She's cute and if someone were reminded of her from an OC of mine, I'd take that to mean they're cute 😂
I might sound like a dumbass since this may or may not be normal but YOU HAVE SO MANY ACCOUNTS BRUH💀💀💀, also right now I guess I could relate, more of an ambiguous story(that rn is waaay too similar to centaurworld) than outright existing in the void without any story. I swear what am i gonna do with some competitive teh tarik cincau drink(Jijau), hyperactive backpack/slingbag(and not in the way you think, Peony), a dollar-store omori pegasus(May) and a title called DisMay? Uhh unpopular opinion but the song isn't annoying to me lmao
Lmao take it up with my sister on the name of the song, she gave it that title 😭😭😭 but people are now asking me to leak the song it's crazy. Also no it's not normal to have that many emails, I'm just a nutjob. But anywayssssssss I think you've gotten pretty far with your OCs if you already have an ambiguous story lol
I had a charater with purple hair in a highpony tail Someone asked if she was based on the girl from overwatch which i never played ☠️ i did the "cut my hair meme with her the next day"
I can just imagine you running in with a pair of scissors 😭😭 no explanation just yaga! I did the same thing, I had to tell Caroline "get in loser we're going shopping" the moment I noticed the Numbuh 3 similarity
Yappalot warning teehee Tbh, I've watched you on the TV instead of my phone, so I've seen your vids but can't comment on it - buut that changes now ig lol. I _do_ have many OCs that just exist! I'm a user who jumps from fandom to fandom, and hyperfix to hyperfix. I just have... Nutcracker OCs. for no reason. I'm trying to give them a story but sometimes I just have the thought in the back of my head that they'll be forgor about again lmaooo. (I have so many OCs like this you don't even knowww) I make fandom OCs frequently on a whim, but when I wanna separate them from the OG fandom (and they already have a story given) I find it hard to replace and reexplain the thing in original. For example: Fallen London is a game I was introduced to via a musical by my favourite YT musician/content creator. From there surfaced a WRETCHED Fallen London OC, (He's not that bad, but I affectionately hate him personally) named Robin Banks (because of a sh-tpost on TH-cam shorts) is a guy. He is nicknamed Rob for confusion with another character! He meets another guy named Robert Rackett (I named them off of _another_ Fallen London OC, nooo) and Robert [I'll nickname him Bob]. Bob takes the involuntary nomad under his wing, buut Rob pays rent. _Yaaaay._ Rob pays Bob in Moon Pearls, a Fallen London currency. Robin also commonly dices for Glim because of how frequently he's asked of reality to buy of it (a funny inside joke whenever I play as Rob, and he draws the card where some random spy begs him for Glim in exchange for something cooler. Ig. Idk why Rob is st00bid enough to let that happen for so long he isn't even obligated to
That's funny cause I'm like why do I render my videos in 4k when everyone watches on a phone 😭 well I guess I render in 4k for you and your TV! And I find that interesting that you'd active get your OCs and jump them from fandom to fandom, I guess that makes sense. I kinda just make new ones for new fandoms but it's the same person with different names lmao And im sorry did you just say you have a Rob and a Robert 💀💀 I freaking love that. And then it's shrunk to Rob and Bob love it even more. But that's interesting lore regardless regarding your OC! I think that's a big thing for us creators, we kinda have to be the biggest fan of our own characters
@@Rosemadi.artist I'd like to think of myself as my OCs' biggest antagonist. I am consistently questioning their existence, and also making it harder for them! I've probably told my friend group about how much I hate my OCs lol, even though I made the goddamn sandwich. (I am glaring at one specific OC with a stupidly elaborate name that they canonically picked themself.) [The name in question is Syren Eris Ember Kaizer. It's so on the nose if you know Fallen London lore. and I hate it.] I only ever call them Syren or Sy-Sy to parallel to another OC I have named Byron. (Who HATES Sy. For Fallen London reasons.) [Byron Brimstone is a devil; Devils HATE stained souls. Syren has a stained soul; Sy is also delusional and still thinks Byron is his "friend." They usually end in disputes Syren barely comes back alive from!] My OC lore is so ridiculously intertwined and specific that one would be able to distinguish me if I yap about them elsewhere
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE TO BE YOUR OCS BIGGEST OP. but also it kinda tracks in a way haha. Idk why but your comment kinda reminds me of that old tiktok/reel meme where they're like "me if I was ever stuck in a room with my OCs and they knew everything that I did" and then it's just them getting beat up by their ocs 😭😭😭😭😭 I feel like some of my OCs would absolutely murder me
@@Rosemadi.artist WORD, BUDDY. ABSOLUTE WORD!!!! I love making my characters suffer... (Which, yes - it's one of the major reasons I watched your video on how to make your OCs suffer. I was somehow still surprised that I already have executed a vast majority of the silly suggestions and stuff that were brought up! I guess great minds think alike. :]]]) Y'know that TH-camr Melly Vuong? The Creator VS OC short they made is how I feel accurately describes my OC-Myself relationship. Even if I have like - 4 variations of myself as my personas 3/4 of those are _literal gods_ and the one I actually use as _myself_ me is just. A silly little h00man, whomst represents me with a blue cat ear headset I have irl. Tbh, I make my OCs either absurdly strong (and also simultaneously nerfed via trauma), manipulative as hell, inhuman or ridiculously tall - (Syren is the one exception. Because I hate Syren and he don't deserve intimidating height.) Betting my OCs in general can just pick me up and throw me in a lake or something
i do have that OC, except i can't pick a story for him for the life of me. i see something i like, BOOM, he has it too. something else, BAM! i might have to take my recent approach of him just living in a TV, missing his wife cus he can't see her rn. :,)
bro went from a ghost to a child to an adult to a babysitter to an entomologist to an entertainer to a storyteller to a TV host to a murderer to a ghost again...
Thanks for the sub but omg that's so relatable when your OC just happens tp have a laundry list of things on their resume 😭😭😭 entomologist to TV host though, what a career leap!
"Ocs that have barely any story and kinda just appear anywhere and everywhere" is exactly why the universal deathloop exists
omfg I buy into this so much rn 😭
8:15
"Wow! These are great!"
"Girl, what do you think you're doin???"
BAHAHAHAHA!! 😭😭😭honestly put those jeans DOWN!
I don't draw, but I do have randon OCs, that I write descriptions of every once in a while just to update their interests and powers. I have no interest in actually writing a story. It's more like doodling (except with words).
That's pretty interesting! I never thought about having an OC that is just in writing, but now thinking about it, I kinda want one now!
i barely started the video but i just wanna say, i have this town called Land Of OOF (loosely based on a minecraft world lol) and it's my go-to whenever i have a character of mine that isn't in/been added to any other story yet
so the town is just a town for silly random guys, and that's the whole point of it now
That is so absurd I love it 😭 Caroline and Diana need to go visit Land of OOF, it sounds heavenly LMAO
@@Rosemadi.artist the only story i made up for it is this human guy (since most of the characters are anthro in some way) visits and just does stuff..?? idk still workshopping it, might make it a game or something

i had an oc named Jaylen who only exists because i wanted to draw a scene kid. now their in my cinematic universe that tells the story in double y split end narrative order (there are like 5 plots at once), now they attend student counseling because Jaylen's mom died at a furry con and the student counselor is only there for service learning hours (otherwise they are a living suicide hazard ), was killed by a witch and somehow ended up participating in a masquer against sinners, hellborn, a cult, and ohio residents. the funny thing is that they hardly matter to the plot
Jaylen has quite the resume and I'm happy for them, but you need to explain how their mom died at the furry con 😭 Is this a meme story, or is this taken 100% serious. Cause when I see the word Ohio, idk what to believe 😭 well your name is meme
@@Rosemadi.artist a bus driver accidently crashed while the mom was crossing the street, the ohio thing was before the meme btw

I showed my sister this comment, now she wants to start making music again pffft
Id encourage bc i see potential @Rosemadi.artist

I might sound like a dumbass since this may or may not be normal but YOU HAVE SO MANY ACCOUNTS BRUH💀💀💀, also right now I guess I could relate, more of an ambiguous story(that rn is waaay too similar to centaurworld) than outright existing in the void without any story. I swear what am i gonna do with some competitive teh tarik cincau drink(Jijau), hyperactive backpack/slingbag(and not in the way you think, Peony), a dollar-store omori pegasus(May) and a title called DisMay?
Uhh unpopular opinion but the song isn't annoying to me lmao
Lmao take it up with my sister on the name of the song, she gave it that title 😭😭😭 but people are now asking me to leak the song it's crazy. Also no it's not normal to have that many emails, I'm just a nutjob. But anywayssssssss I think you've gotten pretty far with your OCs if you already have an ambiguous story lol
I had a charater with purple hair in a highpony tail
Someone asked if
she was based on the girl from overwatch which i never played
☠️
i did the "cut my hair meme with her the next day"
I can just imagine you running in with a pair of scissors 😭😭 no explanation just yaga! I did the same thing, I had to tell Caroline "get in loser we're going shopping" the moment I noticed the Numbuh 3 similarity
fr bro, all i do is just draw some of my "ocs" for fun and never really give them a backstory or a personality XD
Omg those are the ones fr fr, untainted by lore they're just fun to draw 😭
Great video :)
Thank you so much! 😭💕
Tell why did you have the same exact experience on Amino except I was 11 in 2018.
unsupervised internet access go brrrrrr 😭😭
Yappalot warning teehee
Tbh, I've watched you on the TV instead of my phone, so I've seen your vids but can't comment on it - buut that changes now ig lol. I _do_ have many OCs that just exist! I'm a user who jumps from fandom to fandom, and hyperfix to hyperfix. I just have... Nutcracker OCs. for no reason. I'm trying to give them a story but sometimes I just have the thought in the back of my head that they'll be forgor about again lmaooo. (I have so many OCs like this you don't even knowww)
I make fandom OCs frequently on a whim, but when I wanna separate them from the OG fandom (and they already have a story given) I find it hard to replace and reexplain the thing in original.
For example: Fallen London is a game I was introduced to via a musical by my favourite YT musician/content creator. From there surfaced a WRETCHED Fallen London OC, (He's not that bad, but I affectionately hate him personally) named Robin Banks (because of a sh-tpost on TH-cam shorts) is a guy. He is nicknamed Rob for confusion with another character! He meets another guy named Robert Rackett (I named them off of _another_ Fallen London OC, nooo) and Robert [I'll nickname him Bob]. Bob takes the involuntary nomad under his wing, buut Rob pays rent. _Yaaaay._
Rob pays Bob in Moon Pearls, a Fallen London currency.
Robin also commonly dices for Glim because of how frequently he's asked of reality to buy of it (a funny inside joke whenever I play as Rob, and he draws the card where some random spy begs him for Glim in exchange for something cooler. Ig. Idk why Rob is st00bid enough to let that happen for so long he isn't even obligated to
That's funny cause I'm like why do I render my videos in 4k when everyone watches on a phone 😭 well I guess I render in 4k for you and your TV!
And I find that interesting that you'd active get your OCs and jump them from fandom to fandom, I guess that makes sense. I kinda just make new ones for new fandoms but it's the same person with different names lmao
And im sorry did you just say you have a Rob and a Robert 💀💀 I freaking love that. And then it's shrunk to Rob and Bob love it even more. But that's interesting lore regardless regarding your OC! I think that's a big thing for us creators, we kinda have to be the biggest fan of our own characters
@@Rosemadi.artist I'd like to think of myself as my OCs' biggest antagonist. I am consistently questioning their existence, and also making it harder for them!
I've probably told my friend group about how much I hate my OCs lol, even though I made the goddamn sandwich. (I am glaring at one specific OC with a stupidly elaborate name that they canonically picked themself.) [The name in question is Syren Eris Ember Kaizer. It's so on the nose if you know Fallen London lore. and I hate it.]
I only ever call them Syren or Sy-Sy to parallel to another OC I have named Byron. (Who HATES Sy. For Fallen London reasons.) [Byron Brimstone is a devil; Devils HATE stained souls. Syren has a stained soul; Sy is also delusional and still thinks Byron is his "friend." They usually end in disputes Syren barely comes back alive from!]
My OC lore is so ridiculously intertwined and specific that one would be able to distinguish me if I yap about them elsewhere
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE TO BE YOUR OCS BIGGEST OP. but also it kinda tracks in a way haha. Idk why but your comment kinda reminds me of that old tiktok/reel meme where they're like "me if I was ever stuck in a room with my OCs and they knew everything that I did" and then it's just them getting beat up by their ocs 😭😭😭😭😭 I feel like some of my OCs would absolutely murder me
@@Rosemadi.artist WORD, BUDDY. ABSOLUTE WORD!!!! I love making my characters suffer... (Which, yes - it's one of the major reasons I watched your video on how to make your OCs suffer. I was somehow still surprised that I already have executed a vast majority of the silly suggestions and stuff that were brought up! I guess great minds think alike. :]]])
Y'know that TH-camr Melly Vuong? The Creator VS OC short they made is how I feel accurately describes my OC-Myself relationship. Even if I have like - 4 variations of myself as my personas 3/4 of those are _literal gods_ and the one I actually use as _myself_ me is just. A silly little h00man, whomst represents me with a blue cat ear headset I have irl. Tbh, I make my OCs either absurdly strong (and also simultaneously nerfed via trauma), manipulative as hell, inhuman or ridiculously tall - (Syren is the one exception. Because I hate Syren and he don't deserve intimidating height.) Betting my OCs in general can just pick me up and throw me in a lake or something
i do have that OC, except i can't pick a story for him for the life of me. i see something i like, BOOM, he has it too. something else, BAM! i might have to take my recent approach of him just living in a TV, missing his wife cus he can't see her rn. :,)
bro went from a ghost to a child to an adult to a babysitter to an entomologist to an entertainer to a storyteller to a TV host to a murderer to a ghost again...
this video is so real tho, imma have to sub.
Thanks for the sub but omg that's so relatable when your OC just happens tp have a laundry list of things on their resume 😭😭😭 entomologist to TV host though, what a career leap!
I always make new ocs 😅 I literally only have like 5 consistent ocs. I swear I have thousands of ocs that I only draw once lol 😭
Omg I feel I'm the same, I technically make OCs but they're always one and dones never to be drawn again 💀
Subbed
Thanks!! 💕
