#developing my OC

[jewlsreigngallery]

Okay so I don't know if you all have had this happen before with your OCs but there is one OC I created I know absolutely nothing about. The only info I know is that he is 22 years old, just graduated college in 2020 and is trying to find a job. I am starting to learn that this OC of mine wants to be a singer. He loves dancing and singing in his pass time and takes inspiration for dances specifically from kpop.

One way I am trying to understand him is through music. His music playlist is coming by slowly though because it comes from a particular vibe that he gives off. Almost like he's telling me what songs to add in a sense. Here are the songs I have so far:

1. This is Gospel by Panic! At the Disco

2. Tomorrow by Set it Off featuring Jason Lancaster

3. Colors by Halsey

4. When Will I See You Again by Shakka

5. Faded by Alan Walker (specifically the cover of the song by Sarah Farell on YouTube)

I'll be adding more songs into the playlist but as of now this is what I know so far.

I am rebuilding my instagram at the moment because my art style is changing and improving. My art from before looks so different and doesn't fit the vibe of how I like my instagram page to look. I also wanna practice animation more!

I kinda wanna use Jace as a way to practice animation. I am working on a little dance animation of him and I kinda wanna release one animation a month of this OC doing dances or singing. I just hope the motivation stays with me. The program I am using (procreate dreams) is very tricky to use and glitches a lot. But it is the best option for me right now so I am forcing myself to use it!

Anyway that's it for now! Hope you all are doing well and staying safe!

Outta the way! The kings of Metal are charging in! 🤘🏼Meet Steel Stampede, fronted by the legendary Grant Ruffalo. In the world of Rock & Roar, heavy metal music was originated by, and belongs to, animals with horns, and that’s the origin of the “🤘🏼” hand symbol. The last image is a drawing of Grant from all the way back in 2013. Miles will meet these guys in chapter 4!

Continued my indulgent concept work spree, this time focusing the momentum on updating some concepts from one of my projects (Wind Through the Grass).

[meowf4ngs]

thinking about roommate!ghost, because I need him to see him slightly happy, and in a nice domestic slice-of-life because he deserves it.

and how he puts up a craigslist ad for a roommate, he's gone too much to actually care for the flat---price put him up to it to get one, the flat not the roommate, because everything be damned if he had one of the other's hear he needs something; someone like that.

he's quick to the point about it--how much the rent will be, their room, the commons room where they'll both reside, how there's only one bathroom, where the kitchen is small.

no pets allowed, no people over without telling him---the whole nine yards, which in his opinion is completely fair.

and lucky him---this pretty little thing shows up at his doorstep.

she's a cute little thing, teetering on their feet as they await for him to open the door, and when it does swing open---he sees how her eyes widen just the slightest amount with how his frame fills in the doorway. he's all but blocking her, and don't forget the fact he's wearing his mask---forgot to take it off, sometimes he's just too comfortable with it.

but she's not even put off by it, just a smile up his way, a cock of her head to the side, adjusting the strap on her back, as she nods at him. "Hi, Simon, right?" and her voice is the sweetest thing he's heard---or maybe he's been with the boys too long, too much of Soap's snoring in his ear.

he grunts, nods his head, "Come in," voice gravel-like, low and sees how she steps in without an ounce of fear in her, slips past him and he could smell the perfume she has---something warm and comforting, his eyes half-lidded watching her back as she's already eyeing the bare living room.

the door shuts with a soft click, already wondering what she'll look like in the morning.

edit: the next part!

The Villain Checklist!

Creating a villain is a delicate art, much like crafting a masterpiece. To ensure your antagonist leaps off the page with depth, consider these essential elements for your villain checklist:

Motivation: Every great villain is driven by a potent motivation, one that fuels their actions and sets them on their dark path. Explore their backstory and unearth the core reason behind their villainy. Are they seeking power, revenge, redemption, or something more sinister?

Complexity: Gone are the days of one-dimensional villains twirling mustaches and cackling maniacally. Infuse your antagonist with layers of complexity and nuance. Perhaps they possess redeeming qualities or wrestle with inner conflicts that humanize their actions.

Flaws and Vulnerabilities: Despite their nefarious intentions, villains should be flawed beings with vulnerabilities. These weaknesses not only add depth to their character but also create opportunities for conflict and growth throughout your story.

Backstory: Delve into your villain's past to uncover formative experiences that shaped their present disposition. Trauma, betrayal, or societal pressures can all contribute to their descent into villainy, providing rich narrative fodder for exploration.

Goals and Ambitions: Just as heroes strive for noble objectives, villains pursue their own twisted goals with fervor and determination. Define what your antagonist hopes to achieve and the lengths they're willing to go to attain it, even if it means sacrificing everything in their path.

Antagonistic Traits: From cunning intellect to ruthless brutality, equip your villain with traits that make them a formidable adversary for your protagonist. Consider how their strengths and weaknesses complement each other, creating dynamic conflicts that propel your story forward.

Relationships and Alliances: Villains don't operate in isolation; they forge alliances, manipulate allies, and cultivate relationships to further their agendas. Develop the connections your antagonist shares with other characters, be they loyal minions or reluctant collaborators, to add depth to their character dynamics.

Moral Justification (from their perspective): While their actions may be abhorrent to society, villains often believe they're justified in their pursuits. Explore your antagonist's moral code and the twisted logic that rationalizes their behavior, offering readers insight into their twisted worldview.

Arc of Transformation: Just as protagonists undergo arcs of growth and change, villains should experience their own journey of transformation. Whether it's redemption, downfall, or something altogether unexpected, chart the evolution of your antagonist throughout the narrative.

Memorable Traits: Give your villain distinctive traits or quirks that leave a lasting impression on readers. Whether it's a chilling catchphrase, a distinctive appearance, or a haunting backstory, give your antagonist elements that linger in the minds of your audience long after they've closed the book.

my markers were calling to me like sirens in the midst of finishing my finals, so i caved in and did an indulgent 1 page skit...

[oc-loving]

share a physical feature of your oc's that you like a lot!

Trying to motivate myself to work, and I've... gotten a vision after listening to "Home" by Cavetown again in my car on the way to school this morning

Edit : Writing lore about that situation in the comments? More likely than you'd think oop

Crashout Caine my beloved punching bag <3

A while ago me and @crypticscarecrow were up chatting about Caine and one thing lead to an AU where something happens that makes the humans of TADC have to leave the circus, the circus itself breaking and Noah disappearing from existence, leaving Caine alone in the void with no one except the ruins of his circus ...

Safe to safe it's a fun AU to develop :3

( Also including Cryptic's bday art TEEHEE YIPPEE WAHOO )

[OC] URGENT QUEST ★★★★★★★ // SLAY THE FULGURBLADE ZINOGRE

[ajastu]

have some sympathy, Davrin, a tragedy has occurred 😔

HOWEVER, I think they would be repressing so much stress during veilguard that stepping on a snail in that moment would become kind of the last straw. not talking from personal experience at all

yayy oc rambling

anyway, i think Zea normally wouldn't like. cry about accidentally killing a little creature like a snail. Like, they would be sad, but you know, cest la vie, the mere fact of existing brings with it many small accidental deaths that we just have to come to terms with, if we notice them at all.
