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 colour pallete has to be a trademark, because all your art seems very warm with the colour choices and it's strangely comforting if you get what I mean.

Feathers and facial scars! I've seen a lot of your OCs and their designs and I noticed that a lot of them have scars on their face. I also see a lot of feathers whether the OC is an avian or it's feathers tied into a character's hair.

(bumping to revive this thread, also pinging since it's been 18 days SapphireBatWings !)

I'm noticing alot of colors and usage of golds in your character designs! (Kemba, Arzuyara, Hou, and Epifanzio being just some examples.) I also noticed that while some of your designs have long hair, they seem to typically have shorter or mid-length hair styles - a few I noticed having the side-shaven hair style. Alot of them like to wear accessories too, like necklaces, piercings and sometimes accessories in their hair aswell. When it comes to art I'd say your artistic trademark is definitely the usage of colored pencil, complex clothing and the way you draw eyes and hair!

Big expressive eyes, muted but bright colors, blocky anatomy, lots of furries or at least animal ears/tails, simple yet really cute style

abesque

flat colors and clean line art, more round lines and cute cartoonish style, reminds me of cartoon network

bright colors but in this nostalgic sort of muted way, very geometric and shape-focused, cell shading, cartoony but anime inspired at the same time ^_^ i love your art a lot omg…

BewareOfTheMenace

Probably the mop-like wolf cut hairstyles similar to one of those K-pop boys on stage. The cheery and vibrant colors, and the stylized anime style.

Cartoony and occasionally exaggerated features with stories focusing more on the slice-of-life genre. Pencil and pen on paper, usually in a monochromatic sense as well.

• bold lines for the (long!) eyes and eyebrows
• big and fluffy hair, especially at the bangs, as well as upper head features (horns, big ears, ahoge, etc)
• very consistent line weight throughout most pieces, flat colors
• cartoony style, not overly detailed but still very cute!

Your works have thin lines and such soft (in texture) coloring. I also see you are such a versatile artist.

Your own OCs tend to be dressed fancily.
