This is how I personally come up with a character: Name Age Appearance Hair Color Cut Face Eye Color Cut/ Style Outfit Top Bottoms Shoes Accessories Personality Family/ Backstory That's just my process. 😁
Lol it's funny, my process is completly backwards: First i do the personality and rol in the story, then the appereance and clothes, after that, the age and last the name xD
How mine are made: well I'll start out with a base idea then they just basically design themselves, really. Like, I know I want their hair to look like this, or their skin tone to be this, and then they really design themselves. I also use my OCs for writing. So personality is used a lot.
Bro- I literally have no plan- sometimes I could want to draw a human but end up drawing a waffle having a party with a piece of bacon- I- I’m hungry okay?
Inspiration strikes some folks in strange ways. And I always enjoy watching the process of how someone makes a character. My best friend listens to me ramble on about ideas I have for characters. I'm pretty sure he's just got a bag or hat that he pulls random thoughts out of to make me think of more. And for me, the process never stops. Realized I didn't have any characters with green hair a couple days ago, so that's what I've been working on.
One of my current fave songs is redemption... I am so glad that's not the only song I listen to while I'm drawing, or all of my characters would be like.... goth assassins...😅
I am an expert at coming up with random characters on the spot, I usually just think of something random and create a character out of it and Bam new oc
The way I make my characters is looking at specific features from other characters, taking what I like about said characters and combining it all into one thing Or just basing it off of some sort of theme like space or a timeline or something-
Wow, I make characters as kinda a hobbies in a way ngl. My inspiration comes from music and games mostly, a character always has a relation to something as nothing just comes out of the blue.
I have many original characters too!!! I can totally retaliate to this. I just wing it! Think about some type of animal, eye color, etc! And I just go for it! They usually turn out really cute ^^
I actually- have a character with a similar palette and based it off the same process of creation a few years ago. (Given your character looks nothing like mine so I'm not claiming anything) but it's cool to see someone with a similar thought process to character creation!
I usually create characters around two pillars: their personality and purpose on the story (if they are an ally, an enemy, or even important part of the plot they take base in), and then start creating their designs based around it (it works pretty well, I must say! But that's just my personal way of doing it)
Personally, I don't really have a 'process'. When I create a character, I think of what personaloty it will have and so I start drawing a design I think will fit the personality. I then go over a few detail changes and THEN I start thinking about color.
I base most of my characters off of other things such as objects and zodiac signs. I take the traits of the thing and then with a bit of thinking I create an entire life for them. Its kinda weird but simple for me.
How I make my characters (I'll use the character in my pfp as an example): I try to base my characters off of aspects of myself (think fears, anxieties, strongest emotions, etc.) Zenith represents the (fleeting) confidence that I have. I tend to design the clothes of my characters first and go from there. When thinking of confidence, my first thought was performers, so that's why Zenith wears clothing similar to those of ringleaders. Then, I thought of traits that could go hand-in-hand with confidence and I instantly thought of strength. Since I have a bit of an obsession with insects, I thought of ants, since they can lift 10-50 times their own body weight depending on the species. After that, it was just trial and error to find a design I liked. Not all of my characters are designed like this. Sometimes, I already know what they look like in my head and it's just a matter of drawing it how I envision, other times I'll have a dream about them and have to scramble to get it on paper before I forget the details. Sometimes, I just draw and I'll have a character by the end of it. Dungeons and Dragons is also a way I've made characters that I enjoy, so how you design them really depends on what you feel most comfortable with. Just have fun with it!
How mine are made: they are walking representations of something. So, my druid is a worshipper of Dionysus, for example. I'll have her have laurels in her hair and two curls atop her head to look like little horns. She'll be constantly drinking, and her color scheme is mainly earth tones excluding her fire hair, to show shear mainly calm but with a fire in her. Or my favorite one I designed, Helend. She's literally Hel, goddess of the dead, but she's horribly bullied and lonely. She has no self esteem, hides, and feels like a curse. So, I made half her body deformed to reflect the goddess, she is too easy to make friends with, she hides her face under a rabbit mask, and her normal looking hand kills whatever it touches at random. I make them mean something for me, it just makes them have more personality since we all showcase ourselves through our hairstyles and outfits :)
My process is one of two ways: 1. •general idea of their personality •general idea of what I want them to look like •sketch out character •maybe change a few things •give them a detailed backstory •relations to existing characters •color pallette(if colored) Or 2. •literally just draw someone random and go "hey, this character is cute"
Me: trying to create an oc and being stuck My English teacher :making us read a book about man named gregor who turns into cockroach Me: cockroach man named gregory Also me: had fun drawing cockroach man and proceeds to draw whole line of bug people
Omg, some weeks ago I had to read this book too. I'm not native English speaker btw. Metamorphosis is such a good one, even tho the teacher didn't tell us the meaning directly, I understood it. I relate to Kafka in some ways and this book made me shed a tear ngl.
My process is way less defined, I just start drawing and hope it turns out alright, to which I then name the thing I've created by putting in random letters and hoping it sounds right
The way that I think of a character is just imagining cool scenes and scenarios this character would be in And then what they would be Then the design And then the longest process, names backstory and personality
(this is from 5 months ago but anyways) honestly, I don't think it's good to fixate on the thought that you need a "totally original and consinstent style". Just draw how you like and how you think it's good, and even if you think it's not good, that means you can improve (which can be stressful, but yeah, art is hard). A good way to improve is always try new things, so even if your style is inconsistent now, you will eventually find the one that you like by doing something different with your drawings and of course, by practicing
My alien OC is having flashbacks of the war, becoming an orphan, meeting the love of his life... Having a happy life ... Then the love of his life gets kidnapped and mind controlled and almost dies in his arms .... Oh god what did I do to my poor boy
That my friend is my coping mechanism. Let the pain of life play out on someone not real, in my own fantasy world, where it can't hurt me or others. Sometimes it just bleeds over onto paper too and that's fine...
Oh my god she is gorgeous! I have the hardest time with designing character... I hope that someday I could become as skilled and creative as you have managed to get when creating characters! I have around 3 characters and I really like them but I feel like all but one dont really stand out compared to others, I feel like possibly when I have them a bit more stylized they stand out but I mean I dont really know what to do with them to make them a bit more unique. They have a story and all which is pretty distinct but they just dont loom the part!
I have so many ocs.... and my problem is that whenever I make a new one- I have to come up with a back story and start loving the character and then all that so like uh- YAAAAA EDIT: After I draw all my ocs for the last time I’m ditching them ✌️✨ they cringe now
Also i really like the design of your character, she looks so alive! She reminds me a lot of Jeanette Miller personally (except with a blue palette), keep up with the great work!
Personally, I just wing it for the most part, but it always starts with a general idea. Ex: My pfp came about from me wanting a character based off me, with an emphasis on my creativity. Like you said in the video, I also draw depending on my mood. Sometimes I won't draw at all if I don't feel like it lol.
I can often just come up with something, but if there’s a character I want to create with a cool backstory, a lot of accessories and an interesting appearance, I go thru my moms old sketch books or Pinterest My mom is a self taught artist and she has a lot of cool stuff I get inspiration from
My art tends to be very Salvador Dali meets Dr Seuss and Lisa Frank since thats where my primary influences lie.. though it can be very macabre if the mood strikes. If I ever do draw people at all they're almost always faceless and they look like they're wearing skin suits with a whimsical or creepy background (again if mood strikes). The whole faceless skin suit thing is a choice in my art style, because being autistic I can't read facial expressions well and I rarely care about what a person looks like. In my world everything I know about a person is based on their body language or tone of voice and I put that into my art, however subconsciously. Clothing does sometimes feature but rarely anything more than the barest hint of faces.
