(Related threads: What are your trademark character archetypes, What Do You Like About The Above User's OCs?, ☀️ Say something nice about above user's art)
I often find that a lot of people have themes and signature elements across all their creations that make them identifiable as theirs. There are a few threads around where we get to talk about our own trademarks, but I think it'd also be cool to find out what makes your creations unique and recognisable to other people. You might even learn something you never noticed about your own work!
How to participate: Look through the person above's OCs and works, and tell them what you think their trademark is. How can you always tell that an OC/art/writing was created by them? What stands out about their work that makes it recognisable as theirs, and no one else's?
- Themes and tropes that they're fond of?
- Personality types and physical traits that a lot of their OCs share?
- A recognisable art style?
More detail is always appreciated. You can talk about designs, art style, writing style, and even all of those at once!
Rules:
- Focus on OC profiles, art, literature and designs. Less focus on details that haven't got much to do with their creative work, e.g. their online identity, icon, profile themes (unless they made them themselves), and posting habits.
- You can still mention these, of course—just say something about the user's creations first.
- This is a compliment thread so please be kind and don't take this as an opportunity to diss people!

Oops, got sniped!
I think your trademark is religious-themed characters, considering that a lot of your characters are mostly based on religions, like for example Raphael and Uriel are based on angels of the same name. Your OC's are also pretty colorful, which is another trademark.
Hmm... I think that your trademark are characters which are very adorable and a bit cartoonish is style! Also, very vivid but not very contrasting colors! You also seem to favour rather simple and colorful but very eye-catching character designs!
Your trademark is definitely the sparkly arts ✨ and the amount of details you put in your works. You also have a pretty unique style and your compositions are iconic. ♥♥♥
Character feature & art wise, I have really learned to associate you with the noses you draw! They're all really cute and a very distinct part of each character's face, and your attention to facial details in general (like eye shapes) is something I have really learned to know you by! In terms of characters, I think guys who dress in a very traditionally feminine manner are something I'd probably consider your trademark, same for fruit/vegetable themes!
i'd say it's definitely ur soft-coloured gif icons! they're really distinctive and the almost-crumpled paper traditional watercolour look really stands out and is obvious as ur own style :0
Whoops I wanna do two so you get a 2-for-1 combo deal lmao
-I’d say that one of your trademarks is how you draw your characters so that they’re relatively realistic, but also have that stylized vibe; I’m not really sure how to describe it but it does have realistic features haha. Your art style’s super nice by the way!
-I’d also say that the way you write characters is also a trademark! I often see in-depth bios by you plus you tend to use similar coding for all of them haha; that aside, literally nearly everything is so in-depth and I love that aaaa
Art/design-wise I'd say that you trademark is paper-white-skinned characters, with big Deep-Sea Prisoner and Touhou inspirations in outfits. Some design elements are also very iconic of yours, such as your semi-long haircut on guys (ie. Seven, Caine or Kyo to name a few).
Bio-wise, beside the obvious fact that most of your characters are celestial beings (gods especially seem to be a big part of your lore), I'd say that's the trauma, be it physical or psychological (and often both), that a lot of your characters have to face.
Well, I'd say your "trademark" is all the religious aspects, in particular the apperance of angels. In all three of the stories you have folders for, angels are a constant, and in the non-canon folder a few other angels caught my eye. I can't blame ya, angels are such a cool concept! (I even have an angel character of my own, though he is less "practical" and is based more off of original descriptions of angels described to be beastlike and monsterous)
Another trademark of yours is the dreamlike quality I've noticed in your characters. Your art style seems whimsical to me, like a page out of a storybook. I love how the colors and filters used add to the religous/angelic aspect of your characters, it's very clever and beautiful.
(Id say to mainly look in the sonas and stories tab since thats where a good chunk of my developed characters are. My jbds from the Closed species subfolder are also a bit more developed)
@OverlordPotato
You've got a lot of characters, so for the sake of filling my claim in a timely manner, I'll just be looking over everything in your main...mains folder.
I'm seeing a lot of warm and cool colors, but the main thing is that they're all pretty visually appealing and coherent with their pallets. (were)Bears, magic, rebellion, and DnD are all big things I've seen be reoccurring in your characters with enough info in their bios to go on, as well as some pretty damn tragic and bloody backstories.
I mostly went with your novel characters, since the misc. characters don't apply to this as much.
I'd definitely say one of your trademarks is how detailed and fleshed out the writing is for your characters. Most of them have really developed personalities and backstories. Speaking of the backstories, they seem to mostly focus on the characters being abandoned or otherwise losing someone they cared about, the psychological issues that came with that, and the characters trying to reach a better mental place (if they haven't already). Lots of fantastical themes among your characters, as well, yet despite this, they feel somewhat...real. They're written like real people that could exist in a parallel fantasy universe. Their designs have the same effect.
