Legend from this duo is a bit based off my friend Frogizei . Mostly cause they’ve talked about wanting to own a casino and we’ve joked about senarios of what would happen if they did. Soooo, when I (unintentionally) made Kingston and Legend, it was kind of obvious where to get some inspiration from for one of the two brothers
Are any of your characters based on people in real life? Not necessarily the whole character, but maybe they share speech patterns with your friend, or personality quirks with your brother, or you gave them the same haircut as a girl in your class-- I'm just curious about the little ways we put our own lives into our characters!
Tell us what your character shares with a real person!
- It should go without saying, but please be careful not to put actual identifying personal information about any real people here.
- Thinking about people in our immediate lives is what prompted this thread, but real people whom you don't know are also ok if they served as inspirations!
- And if your characters are based on you in some ways, that's fine too!
I found a crazy old photo of my mom in traditional polish clothing and that low key inspired this character.
A bit inspired by MaxMoeFoe
At a point I wanted Randy to be Australian and use Max's Voice as a reference
You could say these are all based off real people, in a way! Mainly because the designs remind me of people I know, but around half also share personality traits with the people they're based off. None are 100% the person they're based off but some are close.

And then Leo who is literally the most accurate depiction of me!
There are several other characters I identify with and relate to, but Leo's the main one.
embarrassing but I was v much inspired by this YouTuber who did van life blogs with her little albino snake. I came across her in quarantine and she was literally so inspirational I ended up making a character off of her vibe NJDSNJKDS
here she is!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG8QnjT57UY
hehe she's heavily based on me in name, personality, backstory, appearance, everything
when I design her friend Michi, she'll be based on my best friend <3
