๐ŸŒธSwem's OC Masterlist๐ŸŒธ

A Thread of some pictures and info about my ocs! I love to yap about them, don't mind me ๐Ÿ™ I'll add to the list as I finish drawing my blorbos (and as I have time)!

I love!! halloween!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’—
This time of year is so cozy ehehe
Explain your ocs power with a gif
Since it's the halloweeny season, I decided to finally finish drawing my girl Huifang! She's been patiently sitting in my OC WIP file as just a face and bangs since... at least march? maybe earlier? .w.;;
She's a ghost girl who loves halloween and playing pranks!

Seriously, if the art is strong, some color variation simply doesn't matter that much. The average person will never notice anyway and only you the artist know it didn't match exactly what you intended.
Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.
I lost my 50/50 to Dehya but still managed to grind enough for him ๐Ÿ™ He's pwetty
Iโ€™m not a pixel artist, but I used to make little pixel chibis in ms paint back in high school and I missed doing it so I tried making some in clip studio ๐Ÿ˜ญ still wip but here are some of my oc babies! Bolin, Echo (post/corruption), Qiao, Aelita, Leon, Macaroon and Bell!

I need to design and draw the rest of Bolinโ€™s little thief crewโ€” Tiramisu, a smug mysterious boyo, and Rhythm, a ragey gremlin boyo who games :โ€™3
And Seeleyโ€™s treasure hunting squad- Rivot (girlie who builds robots) and Lilith (elegant recon lady)

This pastel Hex Maniac?? she's so cute ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’—
Realized I have about a 1:4 ratio of girl ocs vs boy ocs--
I'm a defective sapphic I swear ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Couldnโ€™t figure out why I wasnโ€™t getting subscription emails from AO3, figured the authors I follow were going through a dry spell- nope, my email decided to mark every AO3 email in the past month as spam ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ rude!! I have so much to catch up on now!!
I wanna make it to Sumeru TTwTT I like Inazumaโ€™s vibe well enough but Sumeru is *so* pretty and foresty and the music is so pretty and the characters are so silly waaaaa
Genshin is such a distracting gameโ€” like it distracts me from its own story ๐Ÿ˜ญ Iโ€™ve played on and off since it first released and I havenโ€™t even made it through Inazuma yet because itโ€™s like events! Spiral Abyss! Teapot! Genius Invocation! Side quests! Grinding and grinding and grinding andโ€”
Ooo I feel like both can be true honestly! Giving a character you like a fault can also make you more forgiving of said fault, so maybe over time itโ€™s easier to forgive yourself for it too ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’—

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been
Does anyone else insert small things you donโ€™t like about yourself into your ocs so that they feel moreโ€ฆ idk acceptable? Manageable? ๐Ÿ˜ญ like โ€œI hate when *I* do this, but when Blorbo does it then itโ€™s endearing so maybe itโ€™s not so badโ€
Redrew my oc Macaroon because I wanted to finally make her chubby like I've been intending to for months, and as an added bonus I can compare my style between now and last year when I drew her old art :'3 I also made some tweaks to her design ehehe

One of my meds got the dosage upped and Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™ve noticed an improvement in mood but they definitely make me the sleepiest little guy after I take them ๐Ÿ˜ญ but I have been waking up earlier consistently so maybe theyโ€™re onto something ๐Ÿค”
Once again thinking about visual novel hoursโ€ฆ Iโ€™m wondering if I want to try making a quick kinetic novel first for the sake of learning the medium properly ๐Ÿค” I tend to go into most projects with huge goals and never finish them .w.;;
That's true ๐Ÿค” I may just stick with my "main" characters for now and branch out later as I think of names!
