[@Cloudyydazed]

Muichiro, nilou, tengen,giyuu,kinich, shoto todoroki

[@Fiapuggy]

I can’t I’m bad at names😅😅😅😅😅

[@StarDrawz-lk4rz]

[@firefox9823]

Jean Claude is a very cool name 100% true

[@ThatSentinel]

It‘s so refreshing to do a own character, because all the tiny details you can just improvise through, and it‘s still canon!

[@viyaura]

SO TRUE

Only for you to kill them later on if you make comics lol

I was literally looking for oc ideas/tutorials when you posted😭 but is it me or would a fire superpower be so cool?? But the earth npc is so prettyy,I would definitelly think that shes a real game character if i didnt know

[@viyaura]

omg no way and YES fire power is so iconic :D and thank you so so much!!

[@edav9]

I love watching this knowing that I am ok in character design but what I really need to work on is anatomy and names

[@akeelahbruce1821]

Me with anatomy, I stopped for a while now it's hard to draw if I don't focus. Although I'm trying to understand how to make a villain (antagonist oc)

[@WhiskerWhiskey]

What I do to make characters less boring is use features I usually wouldn't. It's always so refreshing seeing things not considered 'beautiful', yet still finding comfort and beauty in them.

[@ForestArbuz]

This advertisement integration is INCREDIBLY well built in the video

[@C0rner_Dweller]

I would pick wind tbh. The movement with it would be so fun...!!

[@Untitled_PieceOfSoap]

THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED, making a new character for a DnD campaign and stayed up ALL night last night just for it to be a waste and then just getting burnt out, THANK YOU.

[@kawaiizelda4134]

Thank you so much Viyaura!! One of my friends asked me if I have any personal ocs so we can collab and draw each other's ocs...well I don't have any. I actually just draw fanarts and my selfsona/persona in cute mini comics. So, I've really been needing a tutorial because I've never made an oc EVER lol thanks again I'm so excited to create one now!!

[@viyaura]

yay have fun creating!!

[@JustanAddictedGamer]

So as a person who makes a lot of OCs myself I agree with all of these tips they are really good. I usallay try to make my characters relatable in some ways and not relatable in other ways, and also some of my characters have powers and some of them don’t but are. Still really strong. For example one of my OCs is the one on my profile pic who is named Sienna. She is a kindergartner and also the daughter of the principal. Her cousin Emma also attends the same school called Self defense education. I know that Sienna will have some powers that will only show when she’s mad (I know not og idea plz don’t cancel me) but I have not decided what they will be yet. Not all my characters are that detailed with their backstory’s and relationships but I still try to make them relatable and also unique Anyway sorry for yapping Bye

Thank you viyaura for blessing us with a new video every saturday 💕✨️

[@GilbertMorfe]

I've started drawing in 2024 and this really helped me a lot for a young artist! Thank you for making this video! I had so much trouble designing my OCS!

[@rockingparrot18]

i think this is the best sponsorship that i have ever seen

[@JaydenChuang]

Omg I think it’s so cute, and I love the color palette as well it’s just so calm and pretty! By the way, I would definitely chose wind as my super power. Just imagine if I could pick things up without moving at all, definitely a win for such a lazy person like me!

[@Lunaofthenight]

i really love world building and building the lore of a character so adding these other tips to help with the character were really helpful. thanks viyaura! ily

[@Nicky-does-stuff]

“I’m not going to draw the hand now because i know its going to ruin the painting, I’ll do it later” is the most relatable thing ever especially since hands are one of the most annoying parts of anatomy 😭

[@muazadam983]

ngl i have three separate world types going through 3 different main characters and the second point really stood out to me since one's in a fantasy setting another one in a place like real life earth while another is in a landscape i cooked up. I just found it fun to see how starkly different each setting was from one another

[@d4rln_snstr534]

Grear tips aside that was such a genius way to put a sponsor and make it part of the video!

[@TroopaToots]

This video is just one gigantic unskippable ad.

[@5420-e1i]

Yay viyaura posted!

[@_Bleh_83]

Even tho I never struggled with character design this video helped me gain more knowledge to make the best designs

[@tatssutona]

When you asked in the video "What element power we would like to have??" I automatically thought of my own spidersona I did, that was solely based off of a water spider. Did a whole backstory on it too, and it came out really good. But I did need this for my art block I was having, this just lifted it right off!!

[@lunaloud8126]

I would pick ice (Thank you for the tips I’ve been working on some characters of my own and these ideas will be very helpful! Also cool character she’s adorable! And this is a great vid that’s super cool and helpful!!!❤❤❤❤)

[@Yatidoes_art_h3r3]

EARLYYYY!!!!..LOVE THE TIPS BTW!..i really need to work on my colour schemes

[@JellyWellyBeansHearts12]

That handwriting really came in handy

[@alexbishop3142]

I love your videos. I have drawn for years but I am stuck with fan art and realism. I am working to find my style. My element is fire, mainly for my temper lol.

[@magicworld7515]

An element I would love to have would be like an animal element! Is that an element? Well I don’t care, I would love to shape shift, talk to animals, pretty much anything that has to do with animals

[@immortalxichigo6009]

The character is so cool you should’ve asked to put your character in the game. You really used the style of the art in the game and made a great character 😁

[@PucKitt]

I mean, if I’m going for an element I’m def going with either fire or ice… both would be preferred but either way beverages at a perfect temp is “chefs kiss”

[@Tsukithestar]

THANK YOU WE LOVE YOU VIYARUA

[@SamanZehra-vy9rl]

I love u viyuara you are my favorite content creator!!!!!!

[@ccherry.berryy]

Water has the most potential in all the media I’ve seen. (I mean I guess that and earth) but I like to imagine that you’d be able to manipulate the stages of matter along side it, like you could make it solid or make it gaseous, you could change its temperature. You may also have a moon motif because of how tides are affected by the moon, you can use it to propel yourself making you fly! Just so much potential for water

[@bonnieboo2159]

Love it! I would totally pick wind. I would learn how to fly and float around like a fairy

[@Oatymeal]

Yayyyy viyaura i really wanted you to make one of these

Ah, another person who likes character design! 😁 I actually really love character design! There can be cultures, armors, fantasy clothing, cloaks, and more that can be made. Male armors, female armors. Drawing, converting, stuff like that. Oh, if I could pick an element, it would be 🔥

[@LyvvsNayyz]

I'M EARLY!!! And if I even get to choose an element, probably Fire.. I mean who wouldn't cause a Fire in school and act like it's not their fault?

i know how to design a world in a -world- personal record of 5-20 minutes and the final details usually come later. sometimes when its out of my comfort zone, it takes 20-50 minutes. and the rest that im way unfamiliar with is 50 minutes to any time

[@ProtoNeo089]

This 3 simple (complicated) steps might actually help me with my ocs especially when i'm bringing back some of the characters I draw back then. One of them is the clothing connected to their personality and the world they live in, and lastly which I'm still struggling until now.. is the names =w=👍
