Alola all!
Hey there! I’m delighted you’ve found your way to my new blog. It feels like stepping into a whole new world, and I’m excited to share this journey with you. This will mostly be a copy from my about me page, so I hope you tag along and stay with me throughout this writing journey!
Why do I love OCs?
Where do I even start? I’ve been an artist for over 10 years and started way back in 2012. Since I’ve started, I’ve always had personal enjoyment when it came to specifically character designing. I love being able to make a character through many bits of research, building a backstory for them and bringing them to life! Every character I’ve ever made is special to me. To this date I’ve probably designed over 100 characters with just over 60 of them I still regularly draw.
It’s also really fun to talk about OCs with people. I’ve probably talked to hundreds of people about their OCs, it’s always interesting to see what unique things people come up with. A lot of my inspiration of design also comes from other’s own works as well which also serves to further my interest in OC design.
Overall, I don’t just see OCs as just random characters that you have made. To me, they are also part of who you are, they are a representation of your influences and work as an artist over the years. Character designing in its own right is a talent which you can show off using the characters and the world you have built around it, which is why I put both passion and importance over OCs and their designs. I know OCs in general don’t have the best reputation in some communities (early DeviantArt comes to mind) but I truly feel it’s a fun topic to get into once you get over that stigma 🙂
What’s the point of this website?
This website serves as a place where I can share all the information about my characters and the world they live in, as well as be a place other OC creators can go to get resources or information to help further their passion as OC and world builders.
The OCs I’ve created over the years all belong to one universe which i’ve helped built up through art, role-plays, stories and many other mediums and I wanted to ensure that it was all kept in one place for people to read and look at if interested. I don’t mind if I don’t get too much interest over this however because I do it all as a hobby and mostly for me to nerd over.
I also do get a lot of questions regarding art and character design when sometimes doing my art, and I wanted to actually have a place to share that knowledge with people who are curious on how they can improve. Furthermore, I know some people can be a bit scared or embarrassed to ask for help, so I hope this place can act as a bit of a safe space and a comfortable hub to explore your desire of character design. It won’t be perfect as I’m no professional, but I still want to assist the best I can.
