OK, this is hard to word, but the idea of this thread is for all those little questions you want a second opinion on, the kind of thing you might ask a friend. We're all friends here, aren't we? c: For example:
Make sense? This isn't the place for huge questions ("please critique my entire centuries-spanning multiverse"), though you can ask a simple question and invite people to talk to you in private about that sort of thing if they're interested.
Rules:
The first person to post can be the first question, but if you'd like to answer one to start off: what's the most annoying possible way to spell the name Riley? Ryleigh? Rilee? You get the idea. I need an Annoying Name.
Hide the powers. Hiding things sometimes can get pretty darn edgy? Also their face gives me that “DON’T TALK TO ME I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW YOU” kind of idea lol. Just the vibes I got :’]
Could I get some clothing inspiration for this little guy? Been wanting to draw more outfits for him. Pictures or just some ideas would work?
Looks good! Thanks.
Heres some tips and advice for the vigilante outfit of Trnity Kvet
- Since she is agile and acrobatic, thinking she could rely on speed or parkour. You could either make her heels a bit thick, since a thin one could off balance the character when they are standing up. Alternatively, you can make the high heels to some kind of atlethic shoes but still stylish.
- Also you can make her outfit a bit more atlethic, sporty, and comfortable since she moves a lot but you can still put flower motifs for the style. (examples of athletic/sporty style: one, two, three,)
- You could place the cloth from her waist into her shoulders or somewhere on the upper part, as she could be stuck around when jumping on obstacles or enclosed places.
I have a bit trouble upon building up Attila's character (you don't need to pick them all btw)
- I want to make him as some kind of anti-hero character, like he's a bit inspired by action movie protagonists that kill or defeat bad guys. Here's a bit about his past: He used to be an assassin who found out he worked with a group with nefarious methods/goals (he is not aware of it since the beginning), killed the boss of the group and became independent who assassinate criminals, evil AI (think of terminator robots), and corrupt CEOs. After several years, he hated his past, he quit and retired the assassin side gig completely and decided to be part of his community's resistance group which also have a similar goal to protect people from criminals or evil groups but the resistance group has better and more noble methods. Personality wise, Attila is a protective, humorous, selfless person but indecisive and anxious, so he's not really interested into wealth, power or status. He's not intended to be edgy when it comes to personality.
Sorry, I'm not used on writing more neutral aligned/morally gray characters, what I aim is he's like chaotic neutral but prefers working with more "good aligned" groups and doesn't like evil organizations/associations. Any thoughts, tips or help about his character or to make him like he is changed to better from his dark past?
- Since he is immortal due to a mistake of eating an eldritch creature he thought as a milk tea, he cannot die but still can be unconscious or get comatose. Any more additional detail on how to make Attila less overpowered because of immortality or you think that is enough to give that as weakness for his immortality? He actually doesn't have fancy magic or powers besides time and dimensional travel and immortality
v Ohh, that sounds nice... I'll add some more details
Maybe something victorian + goth related. A corset could work as an idea as well. But yeah maybe try leaning into the goth aesthetic or something like it since e girl and e boy styles aren't his thing. But maybe a little more flashy like he has in the newer ref (I can try to doodle a small idea of what I'm thinking of if you'd like I'm not sure how to explain things sometimes lol)
Maybe something like these as an idea

For person below me. I'm looking at what I want to do for Eizhra's personality. I don't have much and I'm not sure my friend does either lol. I love him but I just need to flesh him out more :'l

v omg this sounds really good ^^ Tysm
Claim purenai - I have a few ideas! Maybe he can have hidden poison dart(s) within a necklace, pen, or one of his feathers. Or hide a small explosive in a pocket watch to create a distraction. It could also be fun to have a whip hidden as his sash/belt that he can use to grab a witch’s hand or spell component to interrupt the spell, if that’s how your world’s magic system works.

My advice request time! You can pick any one (or more if you want).
Option 1) Help with Felix’s design - He's supposed to have a pirate + cleric aesthetic, but I'm not sure his design feels very cleric-like. Any suggestions to make his “cleric” vibe more apparent while still keeping his pirate-y vibes?
Option 2) Help with Zephyr’s design - they’re supposed to be a nervous wreck with an artist + steampunk aesthetic. Any suggestions to make them look more like an artist without making them holding any props in their hands (like holding a paintbrush)?
Option 3) I’d love a written list of any design tweaks you would give Felix in general. No need to worry about matching his aesthetic. I’ve gotten great feedback for my other OCs in other forums and it’s always very helpful!
im gonna respond to option 1 / sorta 3. the pirate theming goes across very well but yeah the cleric is a little hard to tell. id suggest either giving him some more lighter colors bc of the connection of clerics / healing to light, or probably better option giving him some more gold bits sorta like on his moodboard; id say its mainly color pallet bits that can be tweaked a bit bc his actual design shape wise gets the point across pretty well imo. its all up to you in the end, though, id personally experiment with blocking out diff color pallets to see which looks better for his vibe?

tbh the only thing I really want help with is what to name rough's gun axe. kinda want it to be something on a similar naming scheme as "peacekeeper" or "hrunting" or a latin phrase but cant find any examples to go off of and cant find anything to steal from red dead bc its a shotgun / axe rather than pistol haha.
ennn I am so sorry if you weren't sold on the latin because I got deep in latin names tonight godspeed
Extremely serious question: Does Garum wear his glasses in the gladiator ring. Is he struggling to not loose those while killing people or is he squinting at corpses the whole time.
zeta-male I think it'd be funny if he just squints at corpses the whole time. It would be an interesting quirk of his. Like this dude with poor vision but can absoluetly kick ass

theres the one on her profile (laufey) but theres also this one i really like- i cant decide if shes gonna have an accent or not tho agjshajsnqjs
VV YOO THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS REALLY GOOD!! Ill think abt it maybe, since graces voice is a lil more softer buuut it sounds quite fitting :DD
Well, Vixen would be a given name for a fox-y character though it is also quite overused in some parts and mosty for females since a female fox is called a Vixen.
If we go along that line but with the male counterpart instead, his name could be Tod (which could also be translated into "Death" from German) or Reynard. Both valid if we focus on the kitsune/fox part.
For flower based names *cracks knuckles* I can offer you a handful. Arbor, Ren, Azami (Japanese for thistle flower), Briar, Rhodes, Kamal (means perfection), Manuka, Sage, (Night-)Shade, Vered, Lupin, Yarrow, and so on. P:
Digging a bit in the web I can also offer names with meanings like Masaru (Victorious), Toshi (Intelligent), Toshio (Brilliant) or somethin short and simple like Yuu (Superior).
Aside that this lad also lacks a name, I am mostly trying to figure out the meaning or significance his plushie would have to him. It doesn't need to be a huge revelation story, but just something that makes him attached to the plush so it has a reason in his view why he carries it around all the time. He legit has no set info or personality, so you can go wild with assumptions, because I am at a loss. lmao
The plushie could be either:
- He might be good at crafting, making things like plushies or clothes. That plushie could have been one of his firsts that he made. He was proud of it, he has a strong connection between him and that particular plushie. Whenever someone grabs or pressure him to sell it, he would be disappointed.
- A gift from a loved one or a close friend, it could be a remembrance coming from them as it's possible that loved one or the close friend will travel far away from where he lives.
- A bit more sadder suggestion based on the 2nd option but it could be a final gift from that loved one or friend before they died. The plushie is one thing that make him remember that loved one or a friend, which makes the connection between him and the plushie stronger and personal.
- Some kind of friend: He has hard time finding friends in his area, possibly the place he is from is less populated or he can't find someone. One of the option he can have friend was that plushie, that plushie became like his friend of sorts.
I'm still figuring out what would be Kalman's outfit in the Modern version. The fantasy one has two: one royal looking one like a prince/princess and one for travelling and adventuring that resemble techwear fashion but fantasy (both of the said fantasy outfits are in their gallery). For modern version, I already have an idea about their outfit as a psychiatrist/work, but their casual/everyday style and aesthetic is something I haven't figured out what yet. Any outfit suggestion for Kalman's modern version?
