OC Talk

[5/365] - Today, I answered questions about my original characters. I had a lot of fun drawing these guys and thinking back to all the great times I had with them...

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

This is Dao, the very first OC I ever made that I actually kept/remembered for more than, like, two days. He started off as an edgemaster firebender whose father died during the war and whose mother committed suicide. Now, he’s a receptionist at a big fancy pants gym, daydreams a lot, insecure about his soft features, a little awkward but not really shy (just quiet), doesn’t understand romance but willing to enter into a committed, monogamous relationship with anyone who’s nice, feeds him, and wants him around. So… basically a puppy. 

HUGE change, haha. A change for the better, in my opinion. I still consider him the same character because, for one, his hair has stayed more or less exactly the same since day 1. But also because his name is the same. Yeah. Those are my reasons. 

36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)?

Okay, like, 100% of my OCs are in pairings with someone else’s character because I love watching how the relationships play out. It’s like being in a relationship yourself without the heartbreak being a real thing, even if it feels like it is. 

One of my favorite pairings was my character Kishi and Tsuki, who I never figured out how to draw so fuck that. Kishi was beautiful. And tragic. Beautifully tragic. Basically everything that I ever wanted out of an OC. And the RP itself was really fun, but I guess all good things must come to an end at some point. The other person lost interest in her character, and that was that.
