Ask about the above OC's VISUAL DESIGN

Posted 5 years, 8 months ago (Edited 1 year, 7 months ago) by RadiantRaindragon

Hello and welcome!

This is a question game specifically for talking about characters' physical appearances. Their outfit? Their hairstyle? Their scars? An accessory they always wear or a sword they always carry? You get the idea.


15/02/2019:

To help clarify what kinds of questions are allowed in this game, I've made a list of correct and incorrect examples! Hopefully this should help out anyone who's stuck thinking of a question!


Format example:

Person 1's post: Why does Spike have a necklace of house keys? Edit: Adder got the scar during a criminal job that went a little wrong.

Person 2's post: Where did Adder get that scar from?

You can post IC if you want the next person to question a specific character, or you can post OOC and let them pick for themselves. If you post IC, try to stick to characters that have something noteworthy in their designs - while there's nothing wrong with more plain characters, it can be hard to think of an interesting question about them.


-Rules-

1. Stick to the theme of the game. Your post must include at least one question related to the character's design. You are allowed to ask non-design questions as extras.
2. Don't be rude or passive-aggressive towards other people or their characters in any way.
3. Wait for at least 3 people to post before you go again (unless over 12 hours have passed since the last post, then it's fair game for anyone).
4. All characters must have at least one, SFW art piece. This means characters with no art, or only 18+/filtered art, cannot be posted. You are allowed to skip people if they have no art or only 18+/filtered art.
5. Please do not post the same character repeatedly. This is to lessen repetition of the game.
6. Do not skip people (unless they're breaking Rule 4). Even if the above user has blocked you, that is not valid reason for skipping them.

I actively monitor the thread for rule-breaking, but if you think I missed something, please PM me and let me know.


If you break rules: Depending on the severity of the situation, I may either PM you with a warning or immediately ban you from the game. Regardless of severity, you can be banned if you repeatedly break rules.

Oh man, what is his workout routine?? /j

But seriously. What a beautiful man. Does he wear the eyeshadow for any specific reason? Does his hair naturally have that little curl on either side of his face, or is that a stylistic thing (either in art or from him)? Did you have any major inspirations behind his design?

I see that your Aftermath characters were all given updated designs  (they look really rad btw!) - if you don't mind a slightly more open  question, whose redesign took the most thought and why?

Thank you! And very good question!! They all took quite a bit of thought because I wanted to stay mostly true to their original versions but make them all,, less ugly. I think the hardest to redesign was Danielle! She was always a favorite of mine to write, but her old design was a little,,, hhhhh. Putting fur on her cheeks was definitely a good decision on my part, as well as changing her outfit to better work with her energy manipulation ability!


For a more character-specific question, why does Milo not have the same logo on his shoulder as the rest of the group?

That logo is the symbol of the rebellion the rest of them are part of! Milo is not (yet) part of the rebellion, though he is still an important character either way.

v Her hair doesn't really produce light as such - in complete darkness, you'd maybe at best see a very faint twinkling from it - but it can be easy to mistake her hair as glowing based on the way it reflects ambient light. What it definitely does do though is sparkle and shimmer!

Fuiji Baisol

^^^ ohhhh, lovely :D

You mentioned her hair being inspired by auroras - in that case, would it be like.. glowy? Would it illuminate all around her n stuff? ^,^

V hmmm I'm not too sure myself, I imagine it's some sorta slimey substance that's constantly dripping, yet never really going away. And yeah, it would stick around on stuff, n leave them all glitchy/flashing like them, although Fuiji can absorb them back into their body to prevent any damage

Jun (HE/HIM) pinksun

im curious about their melting ! what exactly is dripping/melting (as in is it just her skin, or...? it doesnt necessarily even look like shes properly made of flesh anymore, so idk), and does it do anything like trail behind them or stick to things ? i just wonder about the possible physics of it since its related to glitching rather than. more normal means of melting

v they're just little jewelry/accessories ! he just really likes seeming all luxurious and sparkly :) and thank u !!

Kloud9

Are the golden sparkles on his tail natural growths or were they placed/sprinkled there by him? Cool character btw I love fox kemonomimis 

Ask anyone here (can’t decide)

——

Both are removable, and yes the pearls are real.

Asteria Star-Seeker thalassophobic

Kloud9 Is Stork Plushie's apron part of the plushie's design, or is it removable? Also, similar question for her necklace-- is it removable, and are those real pearls?


@NP: Please ping me! Offering up Asteria, but you can ask about pretty much anyone.

⬇ She didn't lose it. She knows exactly where it is. [Spoiler for sensitive content]

The short answer is that she cut it out herself. The long answer is weird and complicated :^)

Wargeye

thalassophobic  how did she lose her eye?


it was originally aesthetic then it became part of their story

[you didn't post with an IC so I'm gonna ask about your sona! If you'd rather have a different character asked about then edit with a link and I'll ask something new :) ]
^ Why did you decide to use a skull as your sona's head? Does it represent anything to you in particular, or is it just an aesthetic you enjoy?

v its a holographic mask produced by their collar - it's used to obscure their identity from facial recognition devices! Handy for when they're doing shady things.

Does the armor Akisrava symbolize anything, or did he find it :0

Less of a scar and more a TEAR from the real world to the age of chaos. She can see out of it, and from it her face opens up completely to cast spells and succ souls

 Emm Noguchi DvalinProductions

ProfessionalDumbass

Does the scar on her face have an origin?

v its a hat she made herself when she was young! it is a cat because cats are their special interest since they were young and he decided to incorporate that to the hat; nylon whiskers,ears eyes

he uses it a lot 2 cope with sensory issues,the hat is fluffy both inside & outisde & it is good 4 him :D

in situations where she has to stay w/o the hat it is a bit harder 2 cope D: ,so thas why they are frequently using it


Akari Cobra421

Why the cat hat? It's a cool hat tho! /gen :)

Puck Solarmyr

Akari wears pretty casual clothes compared to what you'd expect for a bounty hunter. Is there any particular reason for that?

The baggy hoodie would make me think it's for sensory reasons since he's autistic, but I'd be curious to know o:

⬇️ 3leggedpoet Yes actually! His wings are based on the wings of vultures, more specifically the wings of the Eurasian griffon vulture c:

I thought that since he has the ability to steal and in a sense scavenge people's memories it'd be fitting!

Sunny Skylark 3leggedpoet

^ Are his wings / feather patterns styled after any particular type of bird (or other creature)?

v Honestly you're pretty bang on the money with my aims for Sunny's design, which is awesome for me to see 😄 The overall vibe I was aiming for in her design was a more chill and cheerful variant of a tiefling - her more infernal traits are meant to be still very clear (bright yellow is not exactly subtle!), but also toned down in comparison to her more demonic-inspired counterparts. I also wanted to bring across the fact that she's still just a kid really - so a lot of her poses are more relaxed and silly and often smiley, to give her overall vibe a much more relaxed feel.
As for her horns, they're designed after fairly generic rams' horns, but I wanted to again toe the line between obvious and subtle with them - she very clearly has horns that she can't just hide with her hair, but the way they curve closely around her head rather than sticking out any huge amount helps to tone down their aggressiveness. Also, Sunny is drawn with a lot of rounder shapes in her design (her eyes, face and hair for example), and her horns are a part of that too!
