any Hot Tips on making ocs interesting/more fleshed out? u have the coolest ones so :pensive:
hmmmmm . honestly i dont rlly know let me think. most of my ocs i just kinda flesh out as i draw em/most of my ocs are made with a specific thing in mind (owh49etijgohyg. 
uhhmmm some stuff i do is i like to talk with friends about my ocs (whether they like it or not. rip to all my friends :-) ) and like with dnd i like creating characters WITH someone so u can go into it with some support even if u haevnt finished writing your backstory yet :-) whoops.
another thing is i do the character building thing of come up with it on the spot when people ask me questions about them. no planning ahead of time . im lazy. i also will add stuff to lore or anything like that just as i draw cus usually when i draw im thinking about the character so its a fun excuse to just shove some ideas in. uhmmm. also dont like. be worried about using ideas from other creators or any fiction!!! 
like dont just. fucking steal someones oc but say someone has like. i dunno a demon bartender who works as a evil scientist on the side or something. im making stuff up on the spot dont hold me to it. maybe you like that idea ! like... dont be ashamed to use some of the general ideas and make them ur own! maybe take the concept of a bartender as a evil scientist and run with it, dont just use teh same designs and dont just use the same personality, but use the situation! maybe yours is an angel bartender who was forced into that life of evil by like. their ex or something. i dunno but i think taking general ideas/themes and being able to make them your own and pull them off in a unique way is neat.
