to anyone who ever wants a really good tool for character designing and character building, i very much recommend using miitomo
i have played the game tomodachi life for many years now and while it's very similar there are a few things where miitomo is better specifically for this
miitomo is down so you can get it through kaeru patcher
here's why it helped me
1. getting it this way - everything is very cheap - costumes, outfits and accessories that should be between 2k to 6k are now literally just. 10 coins. and kaeru gives you like 10k to start out so you have room to dress your characters however you want
thinking about what your ocs wear is important not only because of the art aspect but also because when you try to come up with personal style, your technical skills of how well you draw clothes and textures and wrinkles come up like an obstacle, PLUS you have defined limited options so it's less difficult to pin point what their style would be
for me, i talked about it a WHILE ago but the story i'm working on is based on greek and roman mythology, although with spicy innacuracy and lack of research 😁❤️
and even though there are literally two clothing options that would match their actual attire they wear at work or during meetings or just during their life in general in the sky, it was very interesting to construct outfits for times where they'd have to descend on earth
each character of mine has different opinions on human life and its value, and how they approach foreign human concepts and traditions, depending on how much time they spend there to work
so everyone has "human outfits" and that was very interesting to explore
i had to ask myself : does this character value comfort, style, practicality or etiquette? how much skin are they willing to show off? what are they doing on earth and how do their clothes help them blend in while being practical for the task at hand?
2. mentioned in the previous point, but the options being limited does help a lot
the mii maker is great for character designing
since the mii-from-photo option is particularly ridiculous, it acts as good randomizer for the features, and then you can work it a little more from there
here is the main character that I designed on my own :
and how he looks in miitomo :
and here are some characters i made "randomly" (mii-from-photo with added personal adjustments) in the miimaker FIRST
and there are so many more i want to make, and that i'd be happy to share with you!
having a set of features to choose from instead if being left at your own devices is nice, and the process of trying to translate those features in your artstyle is even more nice
also, taking miifotos and having fun posing them and seeing how you could make them interact serves as cute little oc things but also, maybe a reference if you don't know how to pose your characters? NOT AT ALL anatomically accurate but it's cute for ideas
for example
ummm anyway i've been so so obsessed with this app for like a week or smt now and it's all i think about 24/7 😁
ummm anyway go friend me on miitomo
this post has no subliminal intentions whatsoever i DON'T WANNA MAKE MIITOMO FRIENDS AND I DIDN'T WANT TO INTRODUCE THE SUBJECT SO THAT THE NEXT TIME I POST RANDOM MIIFOTOS YOU HAVE SOME CONTEXT DEFINTELY NOT ANS I DIDNT WANT TO JUST DUMP PENT UP EXCITEMENF ON TUMBLR !!
