rue is next up on my to-do list now that she's acquired a decent amount of art!
I'd love a space where I could talk with others about the characters we're working on as we work on them. So, here's this topic! It should be fun to bounce ideas off each other before things are set in stone. (You could also discuss setting details, probably.)
Right now, I'm playing around with Selda and the other characters in her story/world (they're not uploaded yet, but I'll try and stamp out the details on them soon). The tricky part is figuring out where/how to include and explain the more obscure elements of her setting (WTF is a Leyaloid or a Cross-Ley? uhhhh you might wanna sit down, we could be here for a while if you want all the details). Getting her personality down is also kind of tricky, because I'm not sure how best to describe her. I think I got her right in the blurb, but watch as I RP her and she goes on to act completely different...
Well? What are you all working on right now?
pom; My friends suggested going down an ironic route for his name, so Angel it was B^)
I'm all for having evil OCs but I feel like its important to make sure any unforgivable actions are condemned regardless of their situation :'^V
Now that I've read more about Coda I really enjoy how he is so very obviously emotional yet still thrives off of logical deduction. I see too many people assume these traits can't exist in the same person but boy howdy, they sure can.
This guy has everything completed for him in the roleplay group on FB that gave me a push to finally draw him. However, at the same time I'm preparing a back up plan in case the group may not last long (typically these RP groups on FB die after a few months) to find a role for him in my main armaments-turn-humanoids universe. The main problem as of now is that he existed in a total different time line than other OCs (present day for other OCs vs the first two decades of 20th century for this guy).
....One of the ideas I have at the moment is turning him into a kind of haunting spirit that stays inside some of the relics recovered from the place where he first sank in 1904. Still, that's quite strange for the entire theme as it's more sci-fi (androids) than supernatural (spirit and stuffs).
@sashka "the main theme is personification/mental model of warships during the 1900-1916 era." this has to be the single coolest thing I have read all day. What a neat concept! 8'^}
I have like, a lot that I'm working on.
Reid and Spencer both have pretty good backstories, but their personalities are like non-existant at this point. I think they're the only ones that I've uploaded that have incomplete profiles, so I need to do that as well.
I also have a bunch of characters that I need to make profiles here. I've been putting it off and I don't know why.
And then I have these other two characters, Dax and Jaire. Normally I come up with stories first and characters later, but somehow I accidentally created these two. I sort of have like, a concept for a story but I don't really know what to do with it if that makes sense. I've figured that once I get a handle on the story I can start to flesh out their characters a little more. I have backstories for both of them, but not much else.
Right now I'm working on art for my characters. It helps me to visualize them and I'm a bit of a sucker for visual consistency lol
However the art on http://toyhou.se/1086009.yvonne has got me thinking. When I did the artwork I was thinking of a smug heiress, but after showing her around some, I'm thinking of giving her a supernatural / esoteric angle might work nicely.
im working on all my ocs all the time haha most of em are unfinished on here
BUT my newest babe is Kaya and I'm really excited to work on her <33
she's an adorable homeless lycanthrope from South Africa
This type of theme isn't too uncommon in East and Southeast Asia I'd say. Especially if you have heard of the game Kancolle, which the main concept is turning warships in WWII era into human girls. After Kancolle's debut there have been a few plain knock-off / borrowed concept games released following the trend. At the beginning my inspiration for creating this AE verse was from Kancolle to some degree but later it evolved to include all types of military hardwares, not just warships. In Kancolle, warships are the main focus and other types of military equipment like armored vehicles and planes are degraded to being just ship's equipment.
That FB group I mentioned earlier probably will open this weekend. Other than my Varyag here, there is only one other Russian ship; the majority of people who join the group go for Britain and German ships.
i'm trying to transfer all of my ocs over to here but im having a ton of trouble and i dont want to list the page publicly until the bios are good, too bad im a terrible writer
i mostly just have all of them as half-written bios and random notes on a tumblr page right now ; ~ ; its pretty embarassing
Oh wow, I didn't expect this to take off like it did! Thanks for posting, everybody~
I haven't been able to get much done recently because of a freelance project eating my time, but once that's done I'm going back to Selda and her buddies (and also making the setting notes because those are pretty dang important). I'm trying to think of a male singer character for Selda's world but my design-fu is half shut down right now.
Been working on this gal as of late! Along with her two other dorky friends in the same folder she's in on here; for a good while I've been really thinking up where they're from, where they'd live, what that all looks like, and just overall what their ordinary days typically might look like :"D I've been really thinking up more to add on with Beatrice in particular, as I know eventually I should try drawing a bit more of a up-to-date reference that shows off a bit more of the stockier appearance I recall wanting to give her since day 1 making her :"D
Been also alternating between their story, and the story I plan to animate for the characters in this folder too! It's a slow process to get done, but I'll get there eventually aaaaaaa
