Hello howdy! Sorry for the late reply, had a busy day.
Heres the perchance. Just press randomize. ^^
Roll For Art!
- hi everyone! I've been feeling pretty creatively burnt out and unsure of what to make... so here's a funny challenge spawned from my uncertainty! this roll for art table requires a d20 (you can find ways to roll a d20 online if you don't have your own physical dice if you search 'roll d20' on google!) this roll table can also be used for making new OCs or for making a piece of art of an existing OC. for clarification on what I mean by each category, see the guide below and have fun!
simple rules areeee
- you may skip rolling in any category if you so desire
- you may reroll anything if you so desire, especially if certain traits/vibes/themes make you uncomfortable, this is about having fun so please don't feel any pressure to do something you don't want to
- feel free to change stuff around! consider it an unofficial last step to add whatever prettying-up details you'd like at the end
- for colors black and white are free to add to any palette. you're also welcome to use greys and hue-shift/mix the colors you roll.
- have fun!! : D
- you may use this sheet as many times as you want for whatever you want! : D feel free to do it multiple times, to use it for inspiration for adoptables/designs you're going to sell/trade, etc. the world is your oyster!
i'm just excited to test this out and id be interested to see someone else use it just to see what they make hehe
additionally im silly and a couple things are doubled (namely clumsy in the personality table and extra theme in the bonus table) but i am currently too tired to fix it, so it stays. builds character, i guess?? xD
roll for art guide

for making an OC this is what species they will be, for drawing an existing OC this is going to help you select what OC you are going to draw!
- 1 - human - a classic! a very human-shaped oc
2 - humanoid - clarification: humans with nonhuman characteristics like animal ears/tails, wings, non-human skin tones like blue or green, etc. can be things like teiflings, elves, etc. things that look pretty human shaped but aren't humans technically
3 - cat - can be domestic or big cats
4 - dog - can be domestic or wild dogs

colors
for making your own OC this is what colors you will use as your base. black and white may be added for free, and you may also shift hues or change colors around if you'd like!
if you're drawing a pre-existing OC, you can use only these colors as a color palette challenge, or color the background/their accessories/other aspects of the drawing in these colors but keep your OC's colors the same
theme
for making your own OC, this is a vague theme for the character you'll be making! you can incorporate this a little or a lot
if you're drawing a pre-existing OC, this theme will help you with the vibe/setting/aspects of the drawing you're going to be making
- 1 - day - daytime, sun, sunny, could be the background for a drawing, sun motif could appear in your design/accessories
2 - night - nighttime, moon, stars, could be the background for a drawing, moon/star motifs could appear in your design/accessories
3 - sky - blue and white, cloudy, could be your background, clouds could appear in your design, you get the vibe by now

5 - horror - general spooky themes, background or character design might be dark in color. knives, dripping marks/ink, spiderwebs, etc.

11 - creepy - think kind of like the horror theme but a little more dialed back, still spooky but not as intense
12 - flowers - any kind of flowers! could do a flower field background, give your character flower decorations/growths, draw them with a bouquet (maybe one that means something cool in the language of flowers, or that was given to them by someone they have a special relationship with?)
13 - somber - a sad or melancholy mood, may be indicated by rain, dark or greyish colors, wilting flowers, crying, just somewhat bittersweet
14 - sparkles - a simpler one, put sparkles on your OC themselves or on the background around them. you can never have too many!!
15 - cursed - maybe your character is cursed with something (bad luck? bad magic? a mutation?) or maybe they've cursed someone else. draw what that curse looks like either on them or while they're casting it.
16 - aquatic - nautical themes! underwater background could be something you do, or make your OC into a mermaid. fish, anchors, fishing hooks, boats, seashells, bubbles, etc.
