THINGS THAT HELP ME CREATE A CHARACTERS NAME
☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・
Everyone can have the idea for their character.. but what about their names?
Well fear no more—! Here's the things I consider in helping me create my characters names:
COLOR:
Not necessarily the names of the colors, but more so the names of the shades, Lavender, Marigold, Cider, Amaranth.
There are many unique names for the shades, one of them may catch your eye!
SCIENTIFIC ANIMAL NAMES:
This part it's mainly deriving names from animals in general, bet you never thought of that one did ya—?
My example would be one of my characters:
'Psyra Lutie Marcy' from psychrolutes marcidus
just search up your favorite animals scientific name or the characters animal and then find a fitting name for it then wam bam—!
RARE LETTERS:
This is mainly based for names in certain letters of the alphabet that you don't see alot of names start with:
Q, W, R, T, Y, U, O, P, F, etc.
Or perhaps you just know only a few names on certain letters, so you try to search up a name on the letter you think is underrated when naming characters.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
Depending on the setting, you can also look into old vintage names this can also apply if the character is named after someone in the story that might be significant or just a thought,
Names like eleneor, Elizabeth, so on.
Wèlp you might as well also name then after a historical figure, Napoleon Dynamite did this and so goes the same with the character Roronoa Zoro.
REFERENCES:
You can name a character out of another character you like or inspired them off by.
Heck you might as well name them after some characters from random you're in.
Freddy fazbear, Sally Face, Franbow.
The names can be from some side character people won't remember but how it can be is up to you.
I hope these helped you in finding a way to name you're character—!

And for those who don't know, you can't get magenta by mixing. You'll need to buy it.
Edit: Quick observation, this advice is for mixing paints and pigments, other mediums have different color specifications.

"I can give you everything you need
Or do you want to hear me plead?
Just look my way, just look my way
Is there something more that I don't know
That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?
Just say, "Please stay"
Look my way"
So sappy I'm feeling. Upcoming pin design of Stolitz!

Hi! Do you know about PureRef? It's a software I just discovered that allows you to create and use ref images boards in a very intuitive way (and that you can also get for free or how little you can pay). As someone who usually needs an awful lot of refs before drawing anything (bc aphantasia) I can already tell this is going to save me so much time! I wanted to share the info because many others may find it useful as well!!
yes! I literally love this app and recommend it to everyone!
It's insane it's pay what you can, so if you are able to, support the devs who made a great tool.
