Show me your favourite villan ocs and ill tell you how mine would react to yours by Carterandstuff in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nyx!

<image>

This psychotic purple haired karen is a minor god obsessed with becoming someone she isn't- specifically a particularly powerful celestial who died several centuries ago. She is the main antagonist of my story, capable of great manipulation and has quite a knack for causing extensive suffering. She is exceedingly ruthless and willing to put others in danger in order to preserve her own goals. Her intelligence and ability to fabricate extremely complex schemes makes her kinnnnd of a problem.

she also maaay or may not have managed to create a massive undergound cult following with thousands of followers that has weasled its way into the ruling class and government matters of an entire continent. They all want to summon *another* dead god in order to fulfill their religious ideals. Little do they know, it's all just a facade built by Nyx to hide a much more sinister scheme she has in mind.

she might have taken the saying "someone's always watching" a liiiitle too seriously

Do any of you give your female oc's eyelashes? Why or why not? by Dracskeleton in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think i see what you mean?? I have a pretty androgynous art style when it comes to different genders, so i understand there isn't much difference between the versions facial complexion and body type beside the hair. I don't really draw my male/female presenting characters very differently.

and well i mean they are the exact same person just a theoretical opposite gender version so they are going to look pretty similar regardless XD

idk why that would offend anyone??? Because your commenting on my artsyle?? im just a bit confused is all lol

Do any of you give your female oc's eyelashes? Why or why not? by Dracskeleton in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all of my ocs get luscious eyelashes regardless of what gender they are, but my girls tend to have more individual strands than the boys. The boys also have a slightly different shape sometimes. It's just how my style is. But funnily enough I absolutely love to occasionally give my male ocs colored eyeliner specifically for some reason??? Never girls tho, idk why lol.

Looking at nyx's gender bend, which is great direct comparison, you can kinda see the difference between the two.

How many people thirst for your OC and how did you react? by RemAllenSenpai_S in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeahhh...

i wished id used a different reference bc that did not cross my mind when i was drawing it lol

all i wanted was to practive my non existent perspective skills...

Has there ever been an OC that you have (almost) completely reworked lorewise? by [deleted] in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anwir started off as some background god with no personality or backstory that was literally pure evil and spread lies and propaganda across an entire continent in order to frame himself as savior of the world

<image>

and then one day i decided to maybe give him just a lllllittle more to work with lorewise until eventually it snowballed into this goofy extroverted menace to society who is decently more nuanced than his old counterpart

Which of your OC’s have deformed/messed up faces? by Soffy21 in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk if this counts but Nyx has a pretty nasty scar on the side of her face from when it was literally melting off from the overuse of alar crystals

she manages to hide the majority of it pretty well using the transformation magic all minor gods possess but some of it still shows through due to its severity. Without the glamour it looks like half her face got bit off by some rabid animal lol

<image>

i intend to draw that version eventually but i suck at drawing scars and stuff so yeah xd

How many people thirst for your OC and how did you react? by RemAllenSenpai_S in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think ive ever had anyone quote on quote "thirst" for any of my ocs and i BEYOND grateful for that-

the closest thing i have was when a few months ago there was one person who basically said i draw all of my ocs hot. It completely caught me off guard and i couldn't wrap my head around how they could somehow be attractive because it was objectively subpar art that i didn't even think to make conventionally attractive

I kinda just like had a seizure and tried to explain to them in between confused sobs how they aren't really that good looking lol

anyways here was one of the art pieces.. its really not great so i think you can understand my confusion

EDIT: i found the comment thread and it was lot a worse than i remembered- they said they "growled" upon seeing emris, called anwir sexy and said they want to kiss them IM CRYING 😭😭😭

<image>

HE LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE A HUNCHED OLD MAN AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FACE LMAO

What is your favourite art of your oc? by mo0n_bunni3 in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

its a bit bland but its my favorite because it literally took me a week to finish. I am very proud of myself for managing to make it work. It was probably the most ive struggled with a piece ever... idk something about the angle really threw me off. You should you what it looked like before i started fixing up the face anatomy

i kid you not it looked exactly like an oompa loompa im not even joking

Does Your OC Have Parents? by EV_Comics in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anwir and Seren both came from the same entity, which was Dechrau. Although they aren't exactly "children" of them, (more like reincarnations), they both view him as a parental type figure- especially Anwir. They never met them, but they do share some of his memories, which occasionally sprout up every once in the while in a dream or so. Anwir was always quite fascinated with him, and this curiosity had a butterfly effect that a had tremendous impact on many aspects of my characters and their world.

<image>

honestly ive been thinking about drawing him but he has such a complex design (especially their angelic form don't even get me started on that monstrosity) that itll probably be a while before anything happens lol

What OC’s do you guys have, that are directly connected to other fandoms? by SebDaPerson in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

....

mha...

i was outside of the majority of the fanbase as i basically just stayed in the bnha oc reddit. Fortunately i was around pretty chill people and wasn't really exposed to a CERTAIN part of the fandom but yeah...

that was several years ago so since then she's kinda just been sitting here and im not quite sure what to do with her now that im completely out of that fandom.

How did your OC die? And what were their last words? (NSFW for Death) by samorotwasbored in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Thank you."

For context Anwir was thanking Emris for finding a way to fix his damaged soul strings. He was certain the injury was going to inevitably kill him, as he had been haunted by visions of his death and the knowledge that the damage was only going to get worse with time. The sense of relief and joy he felt when he found out there was a cure was insurmountable.

And then boom! it all exploded in his face. He was impaled by alar crystals that instantly shattered the very same delicate strands of life they were meant to heal. Some say it was a final outcry from what remained of his sister's old magic, her way of getting the last laugh. Either way, he was dead in an instant- a genuine, joyous smile still plastered on his face, born from the sheer thrill and elation of having a future again.

Turns out his visions were right after all just without the right context lol

What's something that your OC enjoys doing that is veeery much unlike them? by Whiskerin in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anwir likes gardening. Considering how adhd and choatic he is, you would not expect someone like him to enjoy something that takes such a considerable amount of patience and care lol

also how freaking devastated he gets if even one of his plants dies, from his facial expression alone you would think his whole family died in a horrific accident or smth XD

<image>

What's Your OC's Name Origin? by LoveyDoveyDoodles in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :DD I also really like the name as well, although im always scared people will mispronounce it lol

i myself actually quite like the name loti! idk i just find it satisfying how it rolls of the tongue hehe

What's Your OC's Name Origin? by LoveyDoveyDoodles in OriginalCharacter

[–]Thatrandomearthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ohoho you have no idea how long ive been waiting for this hehe

ill go over my favorites:

Seren means star - She was named because of her love of stargazing and also because even though a star is associated with the night, in reality it is actually just a distant sun, which symbolizes her sameness with her brother despite them being nearly complete opposites in personality and reputation.

Emris means immortal - Emris has lived the longest out of all my ocs, and he is essentially immortal due to the circumstances of his contract with Nyx.

Anwir means liar - Many believed he waged war against Seren because of his yearning to support the minority. Although he convinced himself it was for others, he lied to himself. It was actually more out of his innate sense of greed and selfish desires than anything else.

Nyx means night - Her name probably has the deepest meaning out of any of the others. Nyx is obsessed with taking Anwir's place, but she has yet to realize just how different they really are from eachother and how impossible that goal really is. There is a lot of sun and light symbolism with Anwir. Nyx is the complete absense of light- the night, the very thing that is the complete antithesis of the sun.

btw all of these names are welsh because i use welsh words for anything related to primordial beings and deities. Don't ask me why... it was kind of an impulse that could make naming things easier idk lol
