redesigning some of my old OC's!! ☆ art + commentary

[@Ariel_is_a_dreamer]

The way that character went from a boy in a blue hoodie to a full grown wizard looking hottie is crazy. He grew with you

[@xxfate7220]

it’s always 7th grade…

[@SHSHiiiii3x]

I like to look back to when I had nothing else to do then to draw 💔

[@andromedasignage]

for real 😭💔

[@Tai_Senpai]

Honestly, I relate to using characters as escapism. Also I love your story concept so far. And I was thinking personally Bill is a fine name. I think he may need a last name and I thought Lepidoptera or something like that. It's the scientific name for moths and you said he was on the moth side so I'd just thought I fit.

[@mustachedclouds]

Maybe William would be a good name replacement for him, since Bill is the nickname for it. Plus it sounds sophisticated, and it wouldn't undermine anything you might've made with his old name. As someone who also has an outlandish amount of old OCs, it definitely isn't easy readjusting to their new names. Love the redesigns btw!

[@Livvvin]

NEW JOUUSTA UPLOAD LETS GO!??! I’m so hyped! I hope school has been going good for you, remember to take breaks💗

[@Limabbean]

Some cool names for Bill: Asante (Thanks) Asad (Lion) Sailom (Windmill) Saifah (Clear Sky) Prince (First Born) Wayland (Brave) Jakobi (star) Jakodi (Descendent of the helpful one) Gray (The color) Anthony (priceless one) Bamako (First Born)

[@zikaurik21]

Where did you find these names?

[@Artsonist16]

"Gray (the colour)" 💀💀💀

[@vonfoxula]

I vote for Prince 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Limabbean]

@@zikaurik21 some are from Thai shows and some are just from the internet of uncommon baby names

[@elleetchison7374]

I feel like the name Sol could work for Bill sense it's latin for sun and that could give him some angst. I would also like to suggest some names that I like: Luca, Kendrick, and Garret!

[@sorvillix]

I heavily recommend looking at Jojo's outfit designs and THEIR inspirations. Seeing how they manage detail and creative design without being overwhelming. And then creating maybe a pinterest board and finding similar outfits! The sun side is giving me regal/noble vibes while the moths give me cottage-ish villagers. I'm excited to see what they story is about!!

[@jouusta]

the jojo thing is actually super helpful omg ty

[@keona5560]

PLEASE keep redesigning your characters with vids like this! I've been starved for it bc listening to other artists' creative process is my favourite thing to do. Its even better when its abt ocs for stuff they make, it always an interesting time😭

[@BlueOnMars]

Same!! It’s nice comparing how I make OC’s and how other artists do!

[@carimeslockdownedtree2654]

Ah yes, that moment of epiphany when you write or draw something and suddenly lore implications start popping up. I adore it when that happens. It's so much fun seeing it happen to someone else.

[@nick-tz5ur]

I won’t even lie, just a video with lore dumping for any and all stories in your brain would be so fun to watch,,, but I know redesigns can take a lot of work and it shows!! This was awesome

[@mimi.sues.]

EVERYBODY WAKE UP JOUUSTA POSTED!!! I love your new sona design the outfit is so groovy :00

[@starrr_night]

I think Koa is a good name for Bill :D and I really love the redesigns ☺️

[@Bee-mo4ep]

Hi, okay so I haven't made a comment in like a year so I'm a little rusty, but I just wanted to say that I love your art and style so much! I draw while listening to your videos, and PLEASE keep redesigning characters!! As a young artist you have no idea how amazing it is to see someone improve from their old style to the things you can make now, it keeps me motivated and inspired to make more characters, please keep doing what you're doing! Good luck with college and have a wonderful day! :D

[@ChantelleArts]

wow these characters are awesome, I particularly love the way you draw hair 😍

[@gleamyguts]

EARLY!! YOU INSPIRE ME SO MUCH! :3 I LOVE YOUR ART

[@ohhhcrud..]

HI AGAIN, JO !!!!!! Mandatory comment on your video time !!!!! I hope college has been going well for you !!! Seeing your art again is an absolute joy !! Hearing more about your characters and story make me so excited to see where it goes !!! It’s also made me super excited to continue to work on my story and characters, which also happens to be a fantasy sort of story too lol. Also, I love your persona’s new design, I think I’m gonna have to draw it here soon ehehehe …… Also, name ideas for Bill … I’ll be absolutely ecstatic if I can help with a name lol … what about Benson ?? And maybe people close to him could call him Ben ??

[@jouusta]

BENSON…. interesting… it seems the B names fit him i will keep that in mind! also hehehe TYSMM id be honored if you drew the new jo 😭😭😭

[@paulichiwi3930]

[@LovelyLizzyVlogs]

[@CreativaArtly]

Redesigning old OCs is legit so much fun. I couldn’t agree more! 😊😊😊

[@x-addie-x8490]

I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH AND I LOVE DRAWING WITH YOUU

[@Thelittletheorist]

I think jouusta has improved a lot by the cartonic to 3D way and is great to see and I am glad you are having fun making characters (Side note I am late :c)

[@blurblurbeatrice]

Snappy sona art my cousin >:3 that's some CRISPY lineart! hope college and the job is going well! I really enjoyed this video, it's so inspirational! Also relate hard to making random ideas make sense, same >:3

[@jouusta]

hehehee im glad you enjoyed!! and ty ty :DD

[@GlitchdJay-328]

yyyaaaaaayyy shes back I missed her vids so much bro

[@ViridianEagle44]

new jouusta video! , NOICE. (nice oc's btw)

[@dakotahdecker]

not having time to sit down and do art with school job and social life is so real.

[@babblingbrooke321]

I think Kwame is a pretty good name for Bill! I think that name would suit him well!

[@Basicdowntowngirl]

Ahh the day is always a billion times better when you post a video! You always give me so much inspiration and will to keep going even when I think my art looks like a mess haha, Love the video and it’s amazing to see how much your characters have developed and your style has changed 🫶🤗

[@WhatTheKel33]

i think the reason why Bill's design looks better is because of contrast. Bill's has more dark and light colors, and Pandora's has mostly brown and blue that are similar in tone. But if it works for your story, that's great!! Can't wait to see more!

[@jexui]

YOO I love the new character design for your persona! as always luv ur vids

[@unhollowkid5951]

I love your art so much!! Your are such an inspiration!! Thank you so much for this video!! 💝💜💙💓💚❤️💜💝💙💝💓💓💝💓💝💓💝💓💜💙💜💙💜

[@localgiraffe574]

Your editing improved sm holyyy

[@utatanepikoV5]

[@Maryfilmsoficial]

I think your art style is pretty consistent

[@datrandomperson4230]

I love ur videos Jousta!! Keep up the good work. :3 :3

[@discatded]

omg i love these characters sm :DD ur art is so lovely too

[@Qia_Dia]

I love gaining the power of random things making sense lol but fr these designs look so cool! Bill has a special place in my heart with that beautiful hair and jacket ❤

[@reynajelly]

Okay they are pretty cool, would love to hear more about them!

[@ourfaithcanmovemountainsma9341]

I think that Timothy (or tim) would be a PERFECT for him.

[@Chloe.Colors]

Oh my goshPLEASEEE😭 we had the exact same art sketchbook experience!!!! So many forgotten OC’s -_-

[@adelinettey]

NEW JOUUSTA VIDEO SO REAL SO TRUE!!! I adore these designs sm! AND YOUR CHARACTER SRPITES?!? So adorable! This video was so so so yummy hehe >:))

[@jouusta]

ehehehee TY TY!!

[@katiesquid]

I made most of my active OCs in middle school as well. IDK what it is but 6-8th grade seems to be the ideal time to create characters that stick with you forever

[@Starryysh1n3_GC]

I would just love a video were you rant and explain this story of yours, it honestly sounds so interesting and I can't wait to see if we get more content of this in the future.

[@CocoBytes64]

I absolutely love your little talking persona on the side she’s so well designed!! I hope college hasn’t been too rough on you!!

[@Anvesha-ig9iy]

YAYYYY!!! I missed your videos Jo 🤧 Also, good luck in college

[@ericaroseb]

WELCOME BACK

[@Her_Woods_]

I would love to see more redesigns!!

[@JulekaSomma-gt9rw]

I like how you express and tell how frustrating and hard it can be ti redesign a character/make one because sometimes I try doing it myself and I find it so frustrating that other artists make it look so simple and easy😭

[@jules-234]

Idk if you've thought about this but considering the fact that making comics and anything more ambitious like that takes a long time, I think (especially considering how much good free software there is for making these) that you should make some short little visual novel! Your artstyle would suit it well and you could make something short and sweet to give your world intrigue and maybe a small audience before you start exploring its world more in-depth in the future. It's obviously a decently sized undertaking but I just was thinking about it while watching and thought I'd say something abt it. I found your channel a few days ago and have been loving everything!

[@Nomad_Rook]

YESSSS MORE CHARACTER REDESIGN PLEASE i should try that some time.. i love doodling/drawing figure studies alongside your videos, sending a virtual hug and lots of love ^^

[@ryebread_draws]

BABE WALE UP NEW JOUUSTA VIDEO!!

[@vonfoxula]

BILL IS SO GORGEOUS OMG

[@RUBY.KAITE-]

I loveeeee this sooooooooo much! Sorry I don’t have much to say lol good luck in school 😁😁

[@Rubytoo-zn6xo]

JO’s BACK JO’S Back

[@vanna_dee]

We all had the 7th grade art high. I was smoking something 😦

[@ChristineSG19]

A war between sun and moths? Bruh that sounds like my thing! Also, don’t feel worried about sharing stuff about your project. We’ll understand if anything changes.

[@tocasmiley360]

YES YOU UPLOUDED!!!!

[@zoeyjoseph254]

I feel like Bill could be named Blaine, Ben, or Boston. B names totally still work!

[@pistachiomi]

Guess who’s back for her second watch!!! 🙈🙈🙈 (I LITERALLY adore you)

[@jouusta]

i am honored that this video is good enough for a rewatch 😭😭

[@meykewouters4117]

Early and nice!!!

[@angieblu0]

Ouuu i love Bill’s design sm 😭 you should name him Adonis his design looks super “excotic” an exotic name should go with that

[@realist7752]

I love Bill's design!!! Especially the cloak? The change of the shirt definitely bested the vibe. I think Kieran would be a good name due to the meaning being "dark one", I believe?

[@viiisworried]

arcane makes my mouth water 🤫 anyway in luv w ur style and i luv ur videos they r so cute

[@NyahHoo]

Just found your chanel and i love your avatar! The hair curl is incredible and the design reminds me of a kiwi or a tropical frog, so cute! I'm also obsessed with arcane and love seeing the influences in your art! For name suggestions, u think bill is cute but maybe beau/bo. Its a little fancier than bill but has the familiarity of being short and starting with a b. Pandora looks so cool, i love her tomboy style and though im not familar with your story, the "sun side" outfits look like a school uniform! A very proper bunch i assume. Also hope pandora stays a little crazy, we support womans wrongs lol. I love redesigns, so more videos like this would be awesome! Amazing video 💕

[@Banana-soup]

Yessss!!!

[@Flareontoast]

For Bill, a few names that come to mind are: Silas, Jordan, Luke, Matthew and Linus. That cloak is beautiful, I love love love that colour scheme! Colour choice is something I struggle with as an artist, so I am always in awe.

[@UneasyMeerkat]

OH MY GOD REUNICLUS INSPIRED JACKET IS KILLING ME!!!!

[@insertunoroginalnamehere6189]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! I LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS I would LOVE to just hear you talk about them or draw them more even though you didnt reveal too much about them on here!! Im sorry if i seem obsessive i just think this videos neat and i would love to hear about these characters and other characters of yours more (but dont feel pressured) !!

[@emistarxx]

im in love with this intro omfg its so perfectRAHAGSGEAHAH edit: ok so im gonna like keep editing this comment cause i dont wanna spam ur comments😭; HOWLS MOVING CASTKE AND ARCANE OHYMGOFNSHABAGGSHS GOES INSANE bill looks like he would have a name with deep meaning⁉️⁉️ omg ur also a infp⁉️⁉️

[@floral_comet]

I think a sleeveless turtleneck will make bill look like a very distinguished gentleman

[@Lizziezl8734]

I love pandoras hair but idk why is reminds me of twilight sparkle XD

[@peachyzanne]

The name that came to mind for Bill was Atreus like from GoW but I really like it for him :) seems sophisticated

[@Marzbar90]

I love oc redesigns I have like 2 as I keep forgetting them 😰
