I designed a character with DICE - Character Design Draw with Me

[@ayeoops]

SOOO i'm aware that at 8:32 i rolled a 19 instead of 16, it was just a mistake 😭 and since it matters so much to some people, i'm aware that i roll my d100 "weird". i treat the 0 on the d10 as a 10 always. and 00 on the percentile as my zero always. yes, some people don't do this way, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter because i'm just having fun! you roll your d100s the way you want and i roll it the way i want

[@jester333]

EDIT: thought it over a bit, personally vouching this still leaves a list of possible numbers going 1-100, not that my opinion matters to any of you, now please read past me's dumb comment below. not attacking, but if i'm not mistaken, using the dice that way is tantamount to excluding ten percent of any chart you use them for, yea?

[@SnomNobGobline]

@@jester333 does it even matter? they did this art for fun. what does it matter that they didn't roll the dice a certain way? If you want to do it your way, do your own art challenge that way. its not that deep, bro TwT

[@jester333]

@@SnomNobGobline yeah? i mean that was kinda the point of my comment

[@jule4772]

Replacing the bones with the plushies is such a heartbreaking and heartwarming representation of their character growth. Also, having a character who lost their parents and thus struggles with grieving and perhaps also with letting people get close, love plushies is so perfect and again heartbreaking.

[@KelseyAnimated]

im only four minutes in and i love them immediately

[@ayeoops]

OH MY GOD?? your dnd vid was one of the vids that finally pushed me to make my own!! thank you for doing what you do

[@KelseyAnimated]

@ AGDHDJAJTAGSF NO WAY I JUST BINGED UR ENTIRE MISTWIND SERIES IM SO EXCITED FOR WHATS NEXT 🫶🫶🫶🫶

[@_JusDavid_]

well this was wholesome

[@allisarcadia]

Just like a DnD OC: soul crushing backstory involving parents and crime.

[@ayeoops]

😅😅 its always dead parents dead family

[@WildfireAster]

"dirty, bizzare, and powerful" the dice have decided youre making a jojos character

[@frk249]

Omg real af

[@soursugarrr]

At 8:40 when you said “Let’s get a noun” I got an ad and the first word was “taxes” in a very serious voice 😭

[@zahitmengi5631]

I can already imagine she stuff her plushies with magical totems to use them as a tiny soldiers :D send them into the sewers or tiny cracks at the walls to open passages or throw them at her enemies to suffocate them with tiny plushie hugs :D "Plushie Master Barbarian" :D oh oh and maybe those totems made with dead animal bones to reanimate them as once they are alive. Like use bird bones on bird plushie to reanimate dead bird . plushies have a purpose as a flesh for them.

[@ayeoops]

omg i didnt even think about using them as improvised weapons! if i played them in a campaign i could customize the wild magic table to include the plushies coming to life and helping 🔥

[@eyeseeyou4990]

I like the idea of Ren finding a dead creature in the woods and out of pity putting them in the plushies she buys (or perhaps making her own?), as you said to serve as flesh. It's just a little bit of necromancy. Maybe their goal is to resurrect their parents in a similar fashion?

[@starfy4094]

loved the dice cam ontop of the speedpaint 🤩

[@derry1231]

Loved the video! If you’re still confused about what an Archfey is, it’s basically just a really powerful fey. In terms of power, they have near god-like power in usual DnD lore-so they’re basically demigods. Some people in a certain popular live play show have even used an Archfey as their patron deity for their cleric character.

[@gilfritz]

The timing of me finally planning a campaign with people and then I SEE THESE VIDEOS IT'S A SIGN!!!!! A SIGN FROM THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!!! I WAS MEANT FOR THIS DnD LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@etheraea]

i have no idea about the dnd logistics but creating a character out of dice rolling sounds so fun!!! Ren Ta'ar's story progression has been so interesting and i love the color choice in their design 🥰

[@ayeoopsBIGGESTfan]

AAAAA LAUREN U POSTED OMG IM SO HAPPY U AHVE NO IDEA I LOBW U SM AND UR ART HEALS MEEEE

[@cosmic_ghostbruh]

You're..kind of real man

[@Thepromisedking]

Real I need her art

[@ayeoopsBIGGESTfan]

@@cosmic_ghostbruh NO BC I READ MEAN NOT REAL 😂😂

[@carlostorreszapot6401]

I really love the transformation of Ren throughout the video, just learning more about the character as she's being created was so awesome to see, and the artwork is great, I love how everything comes together at the end and how the character turned out. (I struggle a bit when it comes to creating characters that feel "natural" to me, but I think rolling dice is one of the best ways to randomize and flesh out characters, especially in a fantasy setting.

[@vvalarts]

im loving your dnd inspired videos lately! so happy to be early to this one o.o

[@ayeoops]

really enjoying making them too!

[@ForTheGoldenOak]

You could use the d10 for masculine-feminine as a scale next time. So a 1 is hyperfeminine, a 3 is femme, but not extremely so, 5 is androgynous with a trend towards femme and so on! Love the videooooo

[@ayeoops]

very good idea

[@kkiwi7836]

Something I would be interested in learning a bit more about is Rens relationship with her parents. Did she grow up with a good relationship to her parents or were they strict and imposed values in her that made her feel familial obligation to find an antidote for them? If it was the case that she loved her parents but they did not necessarily have the best relationship, her plushie obsession could also indicate a lack of warmth in her relationships with her parents that she seeks in plushies (or if she had a good relationship to her parents it could be a way for her to cling to her childhood and past, reminding her of warm memories of closeness to them). I think looking a little deeper into that can bring even more complexity to her character! Great video, I’m so excited to watch more of your dnd based content I’m loving it ☺️

[@quillian8493]

omg im so early - gotten hooked since you designed the mistwind guys!!! finished lil guy is lovely!!!!

[@maggie-fb6kj]

still watching but big fan of the first traits being short, very short, followed by another short LOL but using dice for designing is so clever! ive been having trouble with designing characters recently and watching you (and your dice) brainstorming with the different concepts has been really inspiring/refreshing! awesome work !!! :)

[@priyankagiridharan8293]

I really enjoyed this content format! I love the way you create characters! 💞

[@pomefio]

obsessed with their haircut and outfit! you're amazing at designing characters waow.. kinda reminds me of lilia vanrouge

[@senixmikes]

Little percentile dice tip, you read the 0 of the d10 as a 0 unlike when you use it as a solo d10. Example is rolling 40 0 is just 40 and not 50. 00 0 is 100 just because you cant roll a 0. I know it seems backwards, but these dice are always the hardest to read. If you use the solo d10 rule then you roll 100 with 90 0 and that's not how this works. Hope this helps when rolling in the future 😊

[@ayeoops]

im too used to treating the 0 as a 10 always. idk how much it affects the chances of doing it my way where 0 = ten and 00 = zero, but it's worked for me so far! i think its not that big of a deal when i'm alone but i'm still capable of doing it the "correct" way if i were with a group and rolling d100s

[@Opalnut-the-Coconut]

Ive seen a similar video idea used by thestarfishface, its so cool how 2 artist tackle the same video topic and how the videos vibe come out so differently! This video is like you use the dice like a custom magic 8 ball meenwhile star uses it as a spring board of basic things and she messes around with the concept until she has a character she is happy with- both really cool formats!❤

[@cosmic_ghostbruh]

Love your vids and art!! I'm so ready for this video :3 Edit: I really like the format of this, may use it to make a character of my own!

[@jackjames7430]

Honestly this video was so much fun, I think people would absolutely eat up if you made a series of this video idea. Making a new character each episode with this process. Art and the commentary was so fun

[@artistpoet5253]

Nice video. Story time with art is fun. The character looks more like a grumpy elf than a hobgoblin. I'm goingvto go with the whole 'anything gies' idea since its your character and channel.

[@ayeoops]

yeah its my take on a hobgoblin that matches my artstyle. i think it might be more obvious if i drew a different angle but they have a flatter hooked nose and not a deep nose bridge

[@kait.theidiot]

the way you just drew the eyes absolutely blew my mind i’m so amazed

[@becktacular]

Such a cool barbarian design! I love how you made them unique (and a little heartbreaking)

[@ajacobs8886]

watching you draw is addicting. Your pen control is incredible and I love this design so much. I think I might try it later too!

[@cheffpog3940]

This is awesome The name had me in bits of giggle bc ren-taar sounds like "rentar" the spanish translation for "renting" i think is clever and cute haha❤❤

[@ayeoops]

i actually had a bit of audio that i cut out where i said the same thing 😅

[@Miaacini]

They are so cute! I’ve never been into dnd or anything so the dice rolling and everything for a draw with me was super cool 💕

[@leokeyleo]

WHAT THE HELL I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE FILIPINO. I was shooketh when I heard "saan" T__T

[@Duvbott]

Really impressed by how everything wove together in the end 😄 very well done!

[@regunachapex7838]

I didn't even notice this was ayeoops till the end :,D

[@inkystar3160]

im so obsessed with the design and their plushie collection omg

[@a.v.k.1168]

this is so fun and makes me want to create all my characters this way from now on!!! even these specific prompts were inspiring to me, and cool to hear how other people interpreted it differently. it just goes to show how your own personal creativity still goes into it. for me, my brain went in a couple of other possible directions: one day they set up deeper into the forest than usual, and ambushed and robbed a fey spirit of the forest. the fey tricked them (as fey so often do) with a false antidote because they thought it would be fun to fool her, and/or cursed her with the wild magic surges as payback (with this leading to a reason to want to find and confront the fey spirit either as revenge for the loss of her parents or to find a way to control the surges. the wild magic table for barbarians does seem more on the positive end of effects though, so alternatively the fey could have followed them to enjoy the results of their prank, only to feel regret upon learning the person who robbed them wasn’t just stupid evil hobgoblin. the wild magic can then be seen as a gift from the fey as a roundabout way of saying “sorry” (because what fey would ever admit to making a mistake?) and lead into some of what you came up with too!! wow, this went on way longer than I meant to but i’m excited to use this method myself in the future, and to see what else you share with us!!

[@ayeoops]

your ideas are lovely 🙏

[@lotusflower8136]

I loooooved this! It’s a really cool way of doing character design! I could watch a thousand more of these!!,

[@Cat_Friend_333]

I absolutely ADORE their design and backstory! And the plushies are such a cool idea. I'll definitely be trying this exercise myself!

[@uou_3972]

New video 😢 ✨️ yay I love D&D, but I don't really know how to play 😅 happy to see a new video 🤍 I'm Eagerly Waiting for another episode of D&D. 😭✨️ I know I change the subject every second but I don't know how to express.... There is so much I want to say.🙂

[@theHiddenStone]

Love it. I had an elf named Taar, I think it's elvish for fox so you chose the right plushie :)

[@ayeoops]

:O

[@PocketKanin]

6:26 😭 you only asked a yes/no question to if they’d be a barbarian. I thought there’d be a number table for class like for race. Amazing still none the less, the character looks super cool 🎉

[@ayeoops]

there are tables but sometimes i ask on expectations and yes or no is easier for that 😅

[@MichaelFerland-ve6eo]

This is so entertaining and satisfying!! thank you!!

[@K.arol17]

I just loved how they turned out!! The plushies belt just made everything more unique and interesting!! This has to become a series! And watching you drawing is soooo satisfaying, I was so happy the whole video bcz most things that I wish you drew, you did! Like the moles on their face and the detail on their lips! (srry if there is any grammar mistakes, i'm a brazillian fan who is really lazy to check it on google translator :p)

[@MaezDaez]

They yassified my goblins. I can't have shit in detriot. Honestly, it's really cute design, but you could have told me this one, a very short elf, and i would have belived you.

[@ayeoops]

yassified yes, just another version of a hobgoblin 🙂 we all have our take and i wanted mine to be this. in the future i can always draw a more monstrous looking hobbo

[@maxleipner4955]

Great video and cool character!! I feel like I learned a lot watching you design, not to mention the injection of inspiration! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Hobgoblin Barbarian who collects plushies is such a fun concept, Ren looks awesome.

[@ratatata3192]

a cool tip when it comes to making decisions on, well, anything, but especially in art, is just flip a coin. if you're happy with the result, then you can go on ahead! if you feel somewhat disappointed, then now you know you prefer the other option, and can go ahead with that instead.

a hoggoblin, wildmagic barbarian with a criminal backround… sounds familliar doesn‘t it?

[@emcee.]

I was thinking of an evil version of Ren, like what if the fey that found them was evil and wanted to use them? So maybe their parents still passed as soon as the antidote was found, and Ren blames the richer class for her situation, but the fey promised Ren a way to resurrect them. Since Ren is still angry at them the fey kind of uses the grief/wrath they have and Ren continues to hurt those people and steal something- blood, money, bones, etc. that the fey needs to make the resurrection potion. And so there's Ren's motive for hurting all these richer people that come with their carriages or whatever down the path in the forest she's in. tldr: What If Ren became evil when the fey decided to use her to collect blood/bones/some other resource from the rich people (that she resents for her parent's death) in return for a resurrection potion Ren believes can bring back her parents :)
