#you get to see old gross sunckey art but i will show for the sake of education

and genuine question. most difficult design to create OR favorite color pallete you used for a oc

I love this question because I love talking about character design and the whole evolution of designs.

Difficult has to be Oyster, my Kraken-turned-Cat Oc. It's such a wild concept to try and translate into a design and he originally was a rubberhose oc!

But lately I've actually been working on a redesign for him that takes more inspiration from his Kraken half (and splatoon influence)

Honestly. Character design is a skill you have to build up. I can SHOW YOU that. A lot of my ocs have gone through intensive design rehauls over the years to get where they are now, and I'm not sure if ill ever be completely content with a design as they also change with art skill. The more you can draw- the more you can design.

Clawfoot (again) and Bucky for instance:

(sorry its gross) This is the first art I ever did of Bucky and Clawfoot. Very clearly rubberhose ocs as thats what i was into at the time! Poor Clawfoot didn't even have a face to begin with. This art is also 8 Years Old. Compare to their designs now:

And you can see the improvement. Are they perfect? No, but their designs show their story much better than when they first were designed. And they show an improvement in art skill and design knowledge as well! Other characters don't change their designs all that much, but instead change styles, Cony and Pa for instance haven't gotten any huge changes from their first iterations:

(idk why the background is green im gonna be honest)

their base outfits may have changed, (not these those are pjs) but their base designs changed not in design somewhat, but mainly in style and how well they're drawn.

This is why I'm so passionate about OCs and OC designs. Especially with younger generations learning what they want to create and how. It takes time to develop solid ocs that YOU love and it doesn't do any good to push down those who are just starting. I was there too, and so were you.

sorry I completely derailed the question. Hardest to design was def Oyster like I said, but favorite color palette has to be Darcy's
