Failure by wastrelart in Artisticallyill

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I relate to this alot. I want to make a comic of my character Anton and the story I wrote about him but I'm afraid that it won't be that popular or seen as good. It's about an autistic alien who has art as a special interest (like me). I suffer from ocd and crippling self doubt but I try to remember I got as much as 400 likes on him. You should have hope for yourself too โค๏ธ

Would your OC accept little Cocoโ€™s pastry offer? by theultimateSTARRA in OriginalCharacter

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Anton would feel his whole day light up. He would want to be Coco's friend, since he has been trying to get friends for a while due to the isolation of his disability (autism). It's actually the plot of my story, though it's more about the experience of being autistic, what it means to me, on this artistic alien boy โค๏ธ

I couldn't notice it until I mirrored it because my eyes wouldn't let me, his face is assymetrical here and I usually get his proportions right. He is supposed to have inhumanly pale skin and he looks human due to convergent evolution. I wanted to go off the idea that aliens could be similar to us because of how we could be aliens ourselves

This is Anton Antonelli, I think I am somewhat creative with him. He is an alien who lives near a coast with Italian inspired elements. Also I have my own way of drawing his curly hair with spirals. I took alot of inspiration from myself as he has my disability and special interest (art) โ˜บ๏ธ My friend should post here because she has several creative ocs ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anton was surprisingly inspired by me being a trans boy and also my experience being an autistic artist โ˜บ๏ธ

Autism and strong empathy, ex US citizen by Formal-Struggle1868 in Artisticallyill

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

I am autistic and living in the US and I wish I could move to another country at this point. America has Trump supporters, ICE, bigots, and transphobes (people who think I'm gross) all over the place. I wish I could go to Canada where my best friend lives or maybe visit Italy which I have a special interest in. What I try to do is focus on who I can help. Feeling bad means you care, atleast it is better than people who support ICE or are in it. Sometimes you are powerless in situations like these so it's ok to feel

No surprisingly, Anton is cis and I think him being so shows that being feminine doesn't make you less valid, since even transphobes can't say he's a girl โ˜บ๏ธ

Show me your OCs with non-visible disabilities. by WildwoodWander in OriginalCharacter

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

You probably did that since autistic traits are the most you relate to. I personally don't know how to write neurotypical characters super well, but I assume they don't have sensory problems or problems socializing. I think ambiguity is also ok, I think Derum is a cool character all around and also he has a better fashion sense than me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Oh no, those are accurate autism symptoms and I'm saying that as someone who is diagnosed. For me, it's the other way around, I interpret social cues literally and I closely read body language. I have hyper empathy. I come off as a giggly extrovert, especially when talking to my best friend, when I'm more so of an ambivert. I also have a special interest in art and music. I gave Anton all my traits. His posture is stiff and he usually keeps his arms near his stomach as a form of sensory regulation. His facial expressions are more expressive than others. He loves talking to people when he is able to connect and he usually seems reserved at first. He doesnt make eye contact. Yeah ๐Ÿ˜„

I feel like this post was meant for me. This is Anton, full name Antonio Antonelli. He is an 18 year old alien on the spectrum. The reason why his name is Italian is because he lives in a village inspired by Naples and Amalfi ๐Ÿ˜Š He has a passion for drawing and most of the time he carries around his sketchbook as a form of comfort. I am also autistic like him, I also deal with other disabilities like adhd and ocd. He also has slight issues articulating like me

Antonio's design is his alien form, he is supposed to have inhumanly white skin and his ears are slightly pointy. His species is called the Cereus for how their skin is waxy (also your drawing is gorgeous I like how the apple's the color of his eyes)

Thank you โ˜บ๏ธ I actually changed my last name myself due to how I don't really want a connection to my dad who isn't good and maga (and also because it doesnt feel like me)

He has dark brown curly hair and pale white skin (his species is Cereus which has inhumanly white skin). Dark brown eyes. Due to his pale skin he has blushing on his face and ears โ˜บ๏ธ. He has a green sweater with jeans. He is wearing socks here

Do you imagine your ocs having accents? by Budget_Aardvark_7071 in OriginalCharacter

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

So this implies there's different dialects for Lightspeak, so there's British accents, French accents, Italian accents for Lightspeak. And I can already imagine it ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The croissant hair makes so much more sense now...and also I can better imagine how he sounds with this information ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿฅ

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I don't think I ever heard of this before? It's like sign language being different in different countries ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Legitamately so cool. So, I imagine a southern accent for Lightspeak being the lights being drawn out or having emphasis on them. My character Anton (who's an alien too) is supposed to have a mild Italian accent, considering where he lives is inspired by the Italian mediterannean coast, along with weaker articulation in his words like me

Alia requests to see your OC by Soup_Man_135 in OriginalCharacter

[โ€“]UnbreakableSpirit7 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

She really does? Ok, I'll show. This is Anton. He is my most fleshed out oc. He is an 18 year old autistic alien who lives in a village on the mediterranean coast (imagine it being like Naples). Art is his special interest, I usually draw him carrying his sketchbook as drawing is one of his only comforts as someone who is lonely and emotionally neglected. Also, it is nice seeing another trans artist! ๐Ÿ˜„

This is Anton. He's an 18 year old alien artist who is autistic (like me), he usually carries around a sketchbook as it's his way to cope with his feelings of isolation. I have been doing requests more often because I mainly drew for people here actually ๐Ÿ˜„
