Art fight!
What team were you last year?
Next month is art fight! To be so completely honest, I don't know how many attacks I'll manage to do - my goal is AT LEAST six, which sounds low but the least ive made in a year is like... four (dont even look at me thats so embarrassing) last year I managed to do eight
THAT SAID, if you'd like to follow me/have any interest in attacking me next month, here's the link! I don't have time to remake refs (well... i might sneak in a couple) so some ocs from last year/that are on my th aren't up (and for some reason i have ocs that are on art fight but not toyhouse) but im updating some profiles - and if there's someone who isn't up that you wanna draw just LMK and I'll post 'em!
EDIT: whole lotta vampires in the poll... gotta be embarrassing to admit you lost with your whole chest like that (/j)

TYSM!! ^_^ I'm really passionate about character design, so I'm happy to hear you like my designs - I could ramble about character design for Days, but the long and short of it is that i just make a lot of designs, look at a lot of designs, and most importantly look at a lot of CLOTHES. Honestly taking an interest in fashion is one of the best things you can do to make better designs (outside of practicing, doing studies, etc. and all the obvious art tips) because having a mental catalogue of styles of clothing, cuts of dresses, sleeve types, shoe types, etc. means that you have a lot to pull from. I mean, think about it, if the only clothes you look at is a hoodie & jeans, then that's always gonna be the first thing you reach for in drawing, but if you know designers, different styles by name, etc. then you'll have a lot more in mind when you start drawing. if that makes any sense
can't recommend starting pinterest boards enough, i have a board for fem clothes, masc clothes, hairstyles, and shoes and just scroll through that when i don't know what to do. i also like to look at old copies of FRUiTS magazine + the tokyofashion website since i love harajuku fashion, and i try to keep up with ny & paris fashion week.
also, when i see designs i like by other people (anime characters, vtubers, other characters on toyhouse, etc.) i try to think about what the specific elements i like are & how the artist made it look so. well. good. (for instance i noticed that some designs that look "detailed" but are actually fairly simple tend to have a lot of gradients and patterns)
uhhhh that was longer than i meant it to be. i could keep going but ill spare you + at some point i was thinking of making a youtube video breaking down my process plus all my tips

That's really sweet of you and im glad you like my ocs!!! :D but youre like 5 years younger than me & I don't really befriend teenagers like that 😭😭😭 no hate but youre in the same age range as my younger sibling and it just makes things kind of awkward for me </3 (imagine talking with like, an 11/12 year old at your age. you obviously wouldnt be a dick to them and maybe youd get along in passing, but i doubt youd wanna go hang out with a middle schooler regularly bc. well. theyre a middle schooler and youre not)
your art is very cute though!! good luck on the mutual-making quest

i love your designs! How do you come up whit all of those cool ideas? My ocs were almost always the same clothes xd

Its partially from keeping up fashion & partially from experimentation. I find it both fun and helpful to keep up with different designers, brands, and streetsnap accs/etc - having a good mental library of styles to draw from can be helpful for coming up with new ideas! Then I like to do a lot of doodling and pushing myself out of my comfort zone to (try) and not make characters in the same hoodie combo I always do LOL
I could ramble AT LENGTH about this bc character design & fashion are some of my biggest interests but I'm not sure you want that sort of infodump <3
