The biggest shift in my main OC (Anthos) would have to be having him go from an untouchable demonic overlord with legions of hellspawn at his beck and call, to being a literal dad and keeping the other characters from doing dumb stuff on the daily. Here's one of his interactions: Anthos: "Sterling, you know I respect you not only as a father, but as a man as well." Sterling: "Okaaay...?" Anthos: "So would you PLEASE explain to me why you're sliding down my marble staircase with a sled?" Sterling: "...The kids said it would be fun..." Anthos: "Was it?" Sterling: "Very..."

Think about the body in a more general sense. Someone fat would roughly have a circular shape; Someone like ,say, the rock would have more of a square body, an hourglass figure is literally two opposed triangles, etc. You can apply the same logic to other parts of the body like the legs, arms, hands and as logoutoflife said face and hair.

I reflected my recent character after the "tougher they act the softer they are" saying. She is the leader of a few thousand demons who is dubbed as: "the mistress of moons." (Also shown as her constant use of moonstones in her accessories) She acts like a confident cold blooded killer with no heart but secretly a sympathetic, skiddish, homebody who is protective of her demons like they're her own children. Her usage of an oversized cloak and her black blindfold is a subtile hint that she's not entirely a cold blooded killer deep down hidden under practical use and intimidation/mystery factor. her role is suppose to be the "villian" but she is really an anti-villian. She's a softie who has done bad things because that's how the demons raised her. To keep her inner self in hiding she has a Prideful, lovably arrogant, secretly caring double winged gryphon-like demon who keeps her in check and acts as her "captain-save-a-hoe." The soft personality calms her demons from their usual sadistic and blood-thristy nature. A yin and yang factor, if you will. Sometimes, I wonder if I should change a few things...

[@mixedmango2870]

I'm glad you brought it up since costuming is one of the parts that's screwed up the most when designing a character. I think when it comes to an outfit design it should serve two main purposes; 1) well, serve it's purpose well and 2) reflect the character. What I mean by 1 is something that tends to get screwed up the most. Take an example if you have a character that's a knight, you wouldn't have them wearing a T shirt and jeans. And if you have a character that's a normal High school student they probably won't wear any elaborate suits or gowns Ad for number 2, it also tends to get screwed up (sorry if saying that is harsh but that's the closest phrase I have) For an example of a great costume design, I have one in mind that might help make things a bit clearer Cure Black from Futari Wa PreCure has one of my favorite outfit designs , as it perfectly both reflects her personality and serves it's purpose. It's purpose is to be a flashy and stylish outfit that you could still move around and fight in, and it does show with the cool color choices but also in how it is ultimately simple and practical. As for reflecting her personality, it also does that very well. She's the more battle focused and physically active of the two, and her more practical outfit with the bare stomach and pants reflects that, but also reflects how she still has her girly and childish side with the heavy use of pink to contrast her mostly black outfit As an example of how not to design outfits, well it's hard to talk about that since I can't really think of any specific examples and I don't want to be mean A few tips for designing a great costume : 1: always remember your characters' goals, personality and role in the story. This'll prevent you from making outfits that completely contrast everything about your character. Unless you're doing that for a bait and switch then it would be wise to avoid it 2: keep a coherent and simple color scheme. Once again, something that tends to get screwed up. When you're making an outfit, especially if it's for a character that's a super hero or magical girl or something like that. I always suggest to use one main color and then pick up to two sub colors. For example, if your characters' main defining color is blue, then you might make most of their outfit blue and add some white highlights. Or maybe purple instead. Maybe if that character is wearing a dress then her dress would be mostly blue with a white ribbon and purple shoes. It would also be helpful to look at color combinations and the color wheel. 3: make sure it looks pleasing to the eye. This one is simple. Unless a character is intentionally supposed to be hard or nauseating to look at, then don't make them unappealing. Once again, color scheming really helps Anyway that's all I have to say on the matter, sorry this comment is so long I just had a lot to say

It's better to keep the colors simple and the color palette limited rather than use tons of mismatching colors and see what sticks. That's why I say stick to two or three colors and use different shades

Lol yeah I probably could have put it better in that first video, but the notes of things that aren’t integral to understanding the character or their story are still important, just not something that the audience should be outright told in a bio unless it’s intended for someone else to use as a reference for writing about the character. Those little bits of trivia like favorite foods (ones that aren’t integral to the character) are still important to developing the character, just not necessary for the bio. If the audience finds out about them at all, they should be found out about naturally. Hope that helps clear things up!

@Nilu Srivastava No, not gaster. I found a draft of it. I never finished it. I made it like a year ago. A glass heart. By, M.B aka, Marigold. A heart of glass, mind so broken, a breaking connection. “Hello there.” A voice whispers from the darkest corner of the room. At least what you assume to be a room. It’s dim lighting makes it difficult to tell. A small girl with somehow pink hair skips to you holding out her hand. “Hello? You, alright there?” The girl looks you in the eyes confusion filling her voice. She looked to be either 7, or 9. “You took a big fall!” she chirps hyperactivity. You stare her in the eyes and take her hand. You are still unsure of where you are. The girl trots along a small path in the darkness. Keeping a grip on your hand. She began humming a tune, “Little mockingbird in the tree’s.” You refuse to question it, still a bit shocked. You tapped her shoulder. She turns her head to you. “Hm? Oh you are still confused?” She said in a disappointed high pitched voice. “You’re in V.O.I.D silly!” You tilt your head in utter confusion. She then continued, “Varying odd inner Demons!” She laughed before chuckling to your confusion. “It’s just called void.” You aggravatedly mumble something about her. She’d not hear this to busy humming that stupid tune. You stare into the road. You look at the dark shapes darting in and out of view. It scares you to think of what those shapes may be. Part 2. The girl decided to introduce herself. “My name’s, Kari.” You’d tilt your head to the side. You ponder what Kari is taking you to. You again peer into the darkness. A new shape darts across it. This shape is reminiscent of a large snake with legs. Kari turns around seeing as you had stopped to look at the shape. She stamps her boot with a loud huff. “Why are you stopping?” You’d not respond your vision still fixated on the shape. She’d tug you along the dark path. Then you noticed a small light. Slowly you realize that Kari is taking you to it. As you enter the shack you see it’s wooden interior. Soft yet shaggy carpeted floor. Along with a window showing you the darkness outside. Kari lights another lantern and trots to the kitchen. She opens a cabinet revealing some boxes. You can’t read any of the labels. She takes out a small cereal box. She pours herself a bowl. The cereal looks like chunks of wood. They’re big and seem hard to chew. She’d look up at you the light revealing her slightly pink hair. She’d say with her mouth entirely full. “Want some?” You’d shake your head and point to the pantry. She’d nod and say you could pick something. You grab the single edible looking box. You pour a bowl. It’s bland but better than nothing. You go to sleep on the sofa. Kari is busy glaring out the window. A scowl on her face. You fall asleep listening to a distant growling and thumping in the distance.

Thanks for the video, one of the most valuable I've seen on the subject with interesting book references while kept clear and simple. Excellent job.

[@tkdshine]

Great ideas, thank you. The exercises at the end are especially handy.

When she switched to squares the first thing I thought was “if garnets not on here I’m suing” I thought that as a joke, please don’t get mad at me ;-;

It's current year, jokes are considered hate speech.

I once made a Beyblade FC (Not OC) who is a tomboy, but wears a dress like princessy dresses because she feels more comfortable and feels more free and expressive than wearing outfits typical with tomboy archetypes, not because she's a girly or super feminine person who doesn't like boyish things And it wasn't intended as an error of design, that's part of the point of poking fun of the tomboy archetype and mock the "rule" of "Outfits should always reflect personality" and the people who say it should always be this and that. -totallynotcuzSheiladrama-

[@pleejithoj1712]

woah, that's so cool!!

Foriginal characters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@ravenfrancis1476]

Well, I mean, an outfit's gotta reflect the character's personality at some point, that's one of the basic rules of character design. Nobody wears clothes that directly contradicts their personality and beliefs.

[@mysryuza]

@@ravenfrancis1476 Are you sure about that? Its not really a mandatory rule, but go off with your purist views I guess. "Nobody" is false unless proven otherwise throughout.

[@ravenfrancis1476]

@@mysryuza I never said it was a mandatory design rule, it's just that unless the other characters acknowledge that this is a subversion of their expectations, and not just one for the audience, then it usually doesn't work that well. Plus, out of all the tomboys I know (Which is, like, practically every woman I know that isn't my mom), almost none of them would be caught dead willingly wearing a super feminine dress. So not only is your design blatantly ignoring a fundamental aspect of character design, it's actually highly inaccurate to the demographic it's supposed to represent.

[@HelloFellowFriends]

You have really helped me with my Ocs! I appreciate it since I love them so much XD

[@TheSheepster]

Thanks, this video pretty much sums up the aspects of OCs. Good examples and to the point!
