11 for drool :3

11) what was the inspiration for your oc?

Ehehehe so there is two versions of drool actually, one that was an edgy self insert from when I was 12 and the other when I decided I was gonna make a comic with her and completely revamped all of ALT in 2018.

I suppose there isn't a lot to say about pre 2018 drool other than she was edgy as fuck. She started out as a survivor dogs self insert and I shifted her over into warriors at some point. My plan was to make this rly sick and deep oc, but sadly my 12 year old ass didn't rly understand what that meant at the time and made an edgelord anti-sue. I'm not sure what inspired her fur colors, but I remember putting white spots around her eye resembling a cloud very early on to show her connection to SkyClan through her design alone. There's no other major design aspects I remember though mostly because I used drool as a character for rping lol

In early/mid 2018 I started rewriting all of the little bits of drool's story and put it into a new project called ALT, however drool's design itself wouldn't change until late 2018 when I started preping pages for LR. She's based on 2 things! Elkmask from Convocations and horses!

In 2018 I stumbled upon Convocations and god did elkmask's design inspire me. Creature of all time <3

I think the moment I saw them I suddenly knew exactly what I wanted drool to look like, they were such a massive inspiration to my little creature.. kinda insane tbh. The second inspiration were these two horses from the soviet film конёк-горбунок (or the humpbacked horse in english) which I watched back when I was a kid and I just loved these guys.. And idk I just tried to apply it to drool somehow. I suppose because they're both mostly black, but it rly fascinated me how their necks curved (incase you ever wondered why I refer to drool as "my horse" sometimes... this is why....)

So with both of these....

.. U get this in the end. Congratulations!!

However overall I'm pretty happy with drool's design! It's fun, unique enough, has good body language and most importantly - it's easy to draw! Which will save your sanity if you planned to make 1000+ page comic for this bitch at some point!
