17: [OC] What made you choose their faceclaim/appearance?

- For Moth!

((Ooooh this is a good one because Moth is still one of my favorite designs and DTNs.))

((When originally got the concept for her, I already knew I wasn't going to a Luna Moth because that felt... too easy to me? if you know me you'd know I try to avoid going the Obvious route, or if I do I put some absurd spin on it.

In Moth's case it was fun to try and figure out how to work her color palette and design, especially since I don't work with earthy colors super often. I also knew right away that I wanted to make her Toll because 1. I thought it would be funny if a bug rm was Toll, and 2. there are some Big Fucking Moths that exist. Like, I don't know about you but most of the moths that I see where I live are itty bitty things. So knowing there's ones that can be as big as your hand?? I had to play with the idea in the sense of bug robots it was too good to pass up.))
