Original Characters Club (Secret Santa Event)

[ᴅ ᴇ s ᴛ ɪ ᴇ ʟ]

Drew myself another character



XD opinions?

[TenMomentsTill]

NARANDA ~ Hotaru and Sakuran make a cute couple. I really like Hotaru's backstory. Did you keep it as what the previous owner had it as or did you change it? Also, I always love Boybites designs, they make such wonderful stuff. I can see why the Akai piece was a years wait, it has so much detail~ NaosRain made some really nice sketches for you. Vesper always looks so wonderful in all the art you show of him.
Since his moth familiar isn't a clothes moth (or a larvae since those are the little jerks that eat your clothes) his clothes are hole free~

NaosRain ~ Welcome once again to the club~

Leafstorm515 ~ Oh man, I 'm really sorry to hear that. Good luck on your OC search.

Delirious ~ Jasper is a super cutie~ You got a really nice SU adopt. What kind of personality do they have?

..Sky.. ~ Please make sure to comment on at least 10 posts back before showing your own things. Anyway, I really like their markings. Have you given them a name yet?

.........................................................

Do you own any characters designed by me, Leafstorm515?

I do not since I don't buy any adopts. But, you do make some lovely designs based off what I can see in your gallery.

..........................................................


So I was going to make myself a set of icons of all the characters from this story, but I lost motivation OTL. THough, I'm happy with how Marr (above) and Marrow (my current icon) turned out.
Marr is super self conscious about himself since he feels like there is no way he can live up to his name (he's named after his grandfather). He never really gets over it even though he becomes less of a 'screw up' in the story.


The actual image is huge, so I'm linking it. Anyway, this OC is pretty much is sin that has manage to create a physically embodiment. They, Sin, posses a host and use them as an easy way to not get destroyed. Sin is never seen outside of a host. The only way their physical form can be seen is in mirrors. Though, the mirror trick only works if Sin has been possessing the body for a couple of days.

---

1.What genre of characters do you generally prefer to create or roleplay?
Kind dark themed, I have some innocent like characters as well.

2.What personality type is the most common amongst all your ocs?
Most are introverted, evilish, or tricksters.

3. What's your favorite type of setting or era for your character to live in?
Mostly the modern era, I would love to have a futeristic character though.

4. Are there any characters you prefer not to create or roleplay?
Not really, I don't really go for super super complicated that looks really really crowded.

@zaokyi — I love your character worldbuilding so far, sounds like you have quite the plans for them!
@CalicoWolf — I love Cerestes' style and I also love pride characters, looking fab <3
@Geinkotsu — I feel my love of Harpy characters rekindling... Oh no. He is incredibly gorgeous though, wow. I need to draw up my magpie harpy Sorrow's reference some time!
@trashguts — A tiny evil succulent is quite possibly the best character concept I've heard in a long time, not to mention adorable <3
@weegeestar5 — I've always loved your character concepts and this guy is no exception. Love me some magpie designs~
@NARANDA — I feel like I know that character... Oh, it's a Hnai design! Congrats, they are absolutely gorgeous!
@>> LeafStorm515 — Oh no, that must have been really hard for you ;0; Good luck finding some cute OCs to cheer you up a bit <3
@Dєliяiσus — Oh no Kiwi is adorable <3 I'm a sucker for fantasy weapons and SU OCs always have such lovely ones
@TenMomentsTill — I really love Marr's icon! Somehow such a small picture perfectly conveys the personality you mentioned~
@SteamRunner — Don't usually like MLP designs but Star Gazer is rather lovely~ All your recently acquired art is cute as well!

I have some truly awesome art I got recently of some of my most treasured and oldest OCs, my story bunch~ It's all by melonsailor on dA, who is really amazing and deserves a great deal more love.

My Tsuyoshi and driftingsakura's Inurō <3

driftingsakura's Eve and my lovely Gyr~

More Tsu!

I never actually announced on this site at all, but my frequently talked about story OCs do actually have a regularly updated webstory that I'm writing: Meetings... It took me a long time (literally years) to get up the courage to actually post my writing but the story is currently in its eight chapter and I'd love to get some feedback or comments or anything really. I've never been able to talk to anyone about their opinion of it and it's probably crap but the characters and their universe mean a lot to me.


^^^ Click the cover to read ^^^

I put some things together in the cover page deviation so people could possibly understand what's going on? Maybe? It'd be nice to have people reading my writing, I think.
I'm not used to posting my writing so... I don't know if it's possible to follow for someone new to the characters. Whoops I'm too autistic for considering other people's minds...
It's hard to write when the only person who is reading it is your best friend whose characters are also in it. She's dubbed it our two-person fandom ^^;

So, if you'd be at all interested in a fantasy about a group of yōkai mercenaries, their rather dubious past and even more dubious taste in friends, I'd really appreciate a read and a comment~ <3

[NARANDA]

-Snip-

@NaosRain - Ah! Welcome to the community! It will be so awesome seeing you and your amazing characters and species around here! As well as your amazing art!

@>> Leafstorm515 - Thank you! Their designs are amazing, though Hotaru is one of the few who fit my tastes. | I need to develop them more though before I can share that info though right now.

@Dєliяiσus - Thank you, I'm glad I got him. | Cool new character!

@TenMomentsTill - You mean the background on her ref? I do plan to keep that, as for the plans of the previous owner, I have no idea what they were, I'm just going off what the designer (Hnai) has on the ref. XP | It honestly only took them about 2-3 weeks, they just didn't work on it for almost a year. | Thank you! I am glad I can find so many amazing artists able to draw Vesper!
Both those avatars are amazing! (I'm not a sucker for dudes with white hair... not at all... -Shifty eyes-) | Was Marr's grandfather very successful or well-known? Does Marr have very big shoes to fill? | Sin is very cool! Is he very strong? Or can he only posses weaker hosts or can he also posses stronger hosts? Are there any requirements needed for him to posses a host?

@SteamRunner - Thank you for the compliments! | That art you got is also amazing, and so is the pony char, I can't see Desdemona though for some reason.

@QuantumNightmare - Thank you, I am very glad I got her! | Some nice art you got there! Good luck with your writing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got some more art of Hotaru, Vesper, and Lush


And I got another sketch from NaosRain of Kairos!


I haven't had too much time to develop my characters more. So if anyone has any questions for or about any of my characters, please feel free to ask them and I will try and reply to them asap! I would to develop them more through some questions here! It can be for any of my characters, developed or undeveloped!

[BeaztVibe]

Thank you for the welcomes <3 and Thank you Naranda ^//^ I'm glad people like my characters <3
And thank you for the compliments on my Anthro drawing ;u;



Alright so omg. Looking for art. I have CS pets and possibly art in exchange. <3 Pm me which character you want to do and some examples as well as a price range cx I'm so excited omg. Here they are

Dr. Jumba - A cooky witch doctor who loves making sure people are healthy and happy.
Front of him and the Side of him <3

Blue Jay- a sweet little teenager with a big heart but tiny self esteem who identifies as male.


Anthro would be preferred but not required ^^

@SteamRunner Ooo I love the skull Character and Daren
@NARANDA all your characters are so cool I love them all

[CalicoWolf]

@NaosRain: I really like your Blue Jay Wolf. Very cool. I would love to see him as Anthro, i think that would be interesting.
@NARANDA: Kairos is very adorable. They are just so cute. The sketch makes them look all floofy! (I also like Sakuran!)
@QuantumNightmare: My favorites on your post are Gyr and Tsu. I will totally read your story!
@SteamRunner: PONIES! I Adore your OC Ponies! I am IN LOVE with Akuma! ♥ He is Amazing looking!
@TenMomentsTill: Really like the icon of Marr, tho he looks so depressed. intentional?
@..Sky..: Do they have a name? That piece of art makes them look sneaky and conniving, like they are up to something...
@Dєliяiσus: Kiwi is beautiful, or maybe i am just bias because I LOVE purple!
@>> Leafstorm515: I am so sorry about your kitty loss.
@NaosRain: You have a very cool character. Would like to know more about them!
@ weegeestar5: Birdie ocs, are very interesting. You dont see birdie very often so i think that is really cool!
@trashguts: A succulent oc named demon... that is really unique and neat!

I am sorry for the short compliments on everyones characters. I really do think they are amazing, i just dont know what to say that so many others havent said. I also plan to be more active in this thread, so i hope my compliments will get long and better as well!

So a bit ago I mentioned this sketchy lines which turned into this Clean lines, ready to be coloured and THIS is the finishing work:

This artwork was done by Cerestes.
Left to Right:
Laura the Transgender Pride Dog,
Mal the Genderqueer Pride Dog,
Joanne the Pansexual Pride Dog,
Spencer the SafeZone/Gay Pride Dog,
and Nikki the Bisexual Pride Dog.

This was each dog (from left to right) in Feral Form:






These were dogs I adopted from MaineiacJay, tho I did have the flag and symbol added after I bought them
Also the clothes on each anthro were inspired by My Polyvore.
Also I do realize they are "Rainbow Dogs", but since the LGBT is Very Rainbowy, I think it fits well. I hope the black and white calms the rainbow down a bit so they are not "eye-blinding" since many seem to have issues with 'rainbow dogs' (even tho I have made this litters father a literally rainbow dog who is a PRIDE Dog through and through), but anyway, i also tried to pick clothes and hair that would match and calm the rainbow down as well. The clothes are based on the names of people I personally know who these dogs personalities are based on as well.

Please let me know what you think, honestly please. Thank You!

Also if you or anyone you know would be willing to draw these characters (feral or anthro), please let me know. Many of the Art Shops I have gone to won't do them because they are LGBT+ - based... which I respect and all, but';s disheartening not to be able to get artwork of characters that mean so so much to me!

[LOCW_Bluestarwarrior]

@QuantumNightmare
Ahhhh good luck with your story and keep writing it! I'm still struggling through one about my fursona from KINDERGARTEN, but it means to much to me to drop! :3
@NaosRain
It's a really cool character you have there! (Can I also say your alien sona is awesome too,)
@CalicoWolf
Oh my goodness they are ADORABLE! I'd love to do art for them, but unfortunately I'm only doing black and white traditional right now and color is pretty darn important to pride characters. ): I love the rainbow black and white though! Grayscale colors with neon/rainbow are my favorite.

[TenMomentsTill]

Please Read
I just wanted to remind everyone that this club is supposed to focus on disscussion and sharing information about characters, and not just showing art. I'm really only bringing it up since I don't want this club to get locked for being too close to CAAA (since they focus on sharing art) and right now it's walking a really thin line due to very little disscussion and a lot of posts just being art.
I'd really appreciate if you guys took the time to add info about the characters you show art of and leave longer comments than just "Cool, I like all of it." I know it does take a long time to type out long replies, but please put in the effort so this club can continue.
Small tip for starting discussions/making longer comments, ask questions about characters. Also, you can ask a question for the entire club to answer if you want. Plus, if you put more info about your characters, the easier it is for people to ask about your OC.
Also, if you guys ever want to bring up any concerns, want in-depth critiques on your art/writing, or have any questions just PM me.

Thank you

...................................................................

SteamRunner ~ Congrats on getting Star Gazer. I really like the character who has goo leaking out of their face. Why does Daren dislike birds? That MLP style piece for Dakota turned out very well.

QuantumNightmare ~ I'll try to read through the webcomic once my computer is fixed. What kind of relationship do Tsu and Inuro have? I love Tsu's painted nails, what is the meaning of the character on their cheek? HOw long have you had your original bunch of characters? IS the cat on the cover of Meetings Tsu?

NARANDA ~ Since you sorta asked for questions, here are some questions. What kind of relationship do Hotaru and Sakaran have? Are they happy being a couple? How did they meet? What kind of species is Kairos? What is Lush's role/backstory? I can't recall you ever saying much about Lush and I really love her.
White hair anime boys are the bane of my existence, I love them so. Marr's grandfather was a really successful guy who founded the town. Marr did have big shoes to fill, but he wound up being kicked out of his family. Sin's strength depends on who they are possessing. For them to posses a host, their host needs to die or technically be dead and you need to get their blood on you.

NaosRain ~ Please make sure to respond to at least 10 posts back or all the posts since your last one. And it is alright to ask to see if anyone is taking commissions, but please try to keep your posts focused towards sharing characters (pretty much have most of the post dedicated to OCs and talking to others)
Anyway, I really like Blue Jay's personality and design. Why does he have such little self esteem? Also, I rarely see a witch doctor character that's focused on helping people, it's really nice to see one. Also, I really like your species, good luck with them and I hope you have success with them~

CalicoWolf ~ It will be wonderful to have another active person on this thread haha. Ceretes really did a great job with that art, it turned out wonderfully.
Since you asked for basically a critique on the designs,here it is. I want to start off by saying I like these characters. Personally, I always love seeing people's characters based off supporting different gender identities and sexualities and this litter is no exception to that. Like you said, the black and white does calm down the bright rainbows.
Personally, I think that the rainbows are still a bit too bright and should be desaturated slightly (like on the anthros, Cerestes did desaturate the colours used on the litter). I would suggest rather than making the rainbow patterns rough and fur-like, have them be smooth since it will make the colours transition/blend easily (plus it will probably make it easier and faster for you to draw). The litters' markings go together (they look like they are from the same litter).The clothes and hair you picked out for the anthros go really well with their designs and manage to not conflict with the rainbows.
With the way you talk about them, I hope you will always be super in love with them.
Marr is supposed to look upset in the icon. He generally inst a happy person.

LOCW_BluestarWArrior ~ Next time, please make sure to respond at least 10 posts back.

They are a little gorey, but there is no blood or real detail (it's linked to a way larger image). THey are currently unnamed and not very developed, but what I have so far is they are a very new ghost who has no real memory of who they are and they are constantly scared of everything.


I started a new art style and have been drawing most of my angels. I already showed a bit of art of Azrael before, but this time it's sort of a fullbody. Even though he is technically the angel of death for half of my OC universe, Azrael is fairly young and not really that intimidating or scary (he's small and a human could probably kick his butt). Azrael can be overly trusting and really only thinks in a 'best case scenario' kind of way.

[mi ainsel]

@NARANDA — Tell me about Lush, they're beautiful~ What kind of big cat are they? I love that hairband!

@NaosRain — Blue Jay is beautiful! I've seen a lot of blue jay based designs but he's rather unique and lovely. What is he insecure about, if he has such low self-esteem? :0

@CalicoWolf — I love your pride dogs, even if they are a little rainbow-y. They seem more muted as anthros, which is actually kinda nice. That genderqueer shirt is beautiful, I want one now :3c
If I may ask, what made you choose those specific identities to represent? I'm presuming it has something to do with people you know?

@LOCW_Bluestarwarrior — Thank you! I'm trying to keep motivated this time, I've had so many stories end up unfinished in my notes

@TenMomentsTill — For the angel of death, Azrael looks particularly adorable.
You have an entire OC universe of angels? How many have you got so far, and any plans to add any more? I have to ask, do you have a Remiel/Ramiel yet? Love me some thunder archangels~
Do your angel OCs serve a deity(ies) at all? Do they have a internal hierarchy at all? :3c

Tsuyoshi and Inurō are from two clans my friend and I made up... 4 years ago now? It was back in secondary school for sure, that's when we made most of these guys. XD We had the idea of a warrior from a cat yōkai clan and another from a dog yōkai clan who were best friends and it's just kinda developed from there! They were our first proper male OCs really :3

The Sakurose (mine) are a clan of wind-aligned cheetah bakeneko and their twin clan the Kurai (driftingsakura's) are a mix of kitsune and dog yōkai, aligned with lightning and shadow. It's an old tradition within the twinned clans that the strongest of each be partnered to fight together. It helps that they're also best friends and totally (obliviously) crushing on each other, but y'know. Details.

Tsuyoshi's tattoo is the kanji for 'strength/power', pronounced 'Tsu'. It's a tradition in his clan, the Sakurose, to have a character representing part of their name or character on their left cheek. (With the exception of the clan heiress, Tsu's younger cousin Mero, who has two kanji to show her status 'sakura' on the left and and 'rose' on the right).

The cat on the cover is indeed Tsu, in his bakeneko form! Inurō is the black dog on the other side~


First piece of the demon siblings together! Furfur and Murmur, my first Kiamara and one of my newest. Since Furfur was based around a Fallen Angel I loved the idea of him having a sibling based on a demon, and so the even more mysterious Murmur came about~
By hamleticc on dA :0


I got this babe (#8, dragon) from ratwhiskers free watcher adopts yesterday~

I immediately had such grand ideas for them ahhhhh, so this is Nightmaere! I love them a lot mannnnn you are gonna see a lot of them. They're not a fursona or anything, that's still Folkvangr, but kinda an... art muse charrie/ventsona? I wanna get a bunch of art of them but I'm broke oops.
Needed a kinda unique canine OC... I guess a vulpine will do
