(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!

I'd say that your trademark is defiantly the way you use those overlays on your character's icons. Okay, maybe that's not as deep or profound as it should be, but that's the way I always know it's you! I instantly recognize when a character is yours because of this! You also seem to like more fantasy themes over normal joes, which is great!
From right off the bat, most of your characters are zany, cute creatures; they often have the personalities to match their zany appearances, with most of them being quite unique and fun characters! Also most of your stories tend to follow the same trend; they all seem like fun projects to write, and they're also quite interesting as well. Like seriously, when I look at your characters I kind of get the feel that I'm in another world that's a lot more colorful and quirky.
All in all I'd definitely say that your trademark is quirky, colorful and fun stuff!
looking at them right off the bat, you definitely have a lot of mythologically-themed OCs! angels, gods (same hat! me too-- i adore mythological OCs, especially yours LMAO). design-wise, most of them have very pleasant light and not terribly oversaturated colors, though a lot of them also have black or otherwise blacker hair! you mostly have humanoid OCs. aside from that, your style is your trademark! whenever i see it i know they're your OCs- it makes the character really stand out! especially w the shade of skin you choose for most of your humanoid OCs!
looking through your characters, i noticed that a lot of them have simple silhouettes while also having areas with lots of smaller details. you also like playing with different time periods and themes, especially the past. your character palettes usually consist of darker colors/dark hair but you arent afraid of lighter and brighter colors either! it seems like youre especially fond of the two combined, where a character with a dark palette has brighter accents. a lot of your characters have long hair (mostly thick and wavy) too
Claim!
so what im getting at is that your characters seem very anime inspired, (at least to me) and that you use very soft and pastel colors.
I think your trademark would be making cute girl ocs and the few that have info in their profiles are minimal and to the point ^^;
I'd say that your art trademark would be the expressiveness of your characters! Your style is very colorful and cartoony, but at the same time, you manage to make the facial features such as the nose and lips stand out a lot!
Theme-wise, I remember that you have many magical humanoids! Some of them even have unusual skin colours which make them pop up even more.
Since I've seen you around,
I'd say it's designs that are very Sanrio-like, and pastels that are slightly de-saturated are big associations with you and your characters!
Visually, your trademark has got to be that sort of pastel gothic/maid theme mixed in withe elements of gore! A large number of your OCs are beautiful but menacing with sparkles, frills, blood and stitches (especially under Kankitsurui Medical, which seems to be your biggest folder). Even outside of that, a lot of your designs feature pale colours, especially bright pinks, purples and blues, which strike that very fine balance between pastel and neon. Flowers in hair seem like a common theme as well!
I think this belies their personalities, but might even be appropriate in an ironic way: many of them are cruel, diabolical, and either morally ambiguous or straight up evil; others are hapless victims to circumstances, often twisted by their suffering. Almost no one has a perfect happy backstory. Really neat stuff!
