Animal Crossing OCs Batch Part 2! Flemmings!
Design notes under cut:
These OCs originated from the same rp as batch 1, but were made even earlier.
Catchphrases:
Gecko: “gummysnake”
Travis: “croak”
Gerald: “hecko”
Treevis: “pika”
Original flavor Gerald “Gecko” Flemmings and Travis Flemmings are basically two polar opposite step brothers, Gecko has a sunny disposition, adventurous, brave, and constantly trying to make new friends. Travis is a pessimistic, rude, and antisocial rich kid. Gecko was the one with the biggest role, becoming an unexpected faction captain tasked with keeping planet balance at stable levels for research purposes. Since they’re such extremes they’re pretty malleable to use as supporting characters in a variety of RPs/AUs and are my most used OCs at this point.
I later made “Life-swap” versions of them, Treevis and Gersalt. I think they may have absorbed personality from some of my even older ocs but they’re still distinct and enjoyable enough I use them pretty frequently as well.
So Gecko! This is sticking very close to his original design, birthday hat, towel cape, lizard shirt, dino swim trunks, swim goggles, and sandals! I changed his feather earring to a smiley face because I thought it suited him better. His animal design is a frog because I wanted to stick more to animals that are in animal crossing at first (although I deviate from this in later batches). He’s got mostly the same colors as his dragon design, except I took out the green stripes. He’s wearing the froggy shirt, which I turned into overalls to give a bit more character. The item I gave him was a net, although I didn’t have much reason for that choice, he was the first one I drew when I decided to do all the tools. I may have picked bubble blower instead if I had remembered that was a thing in New Leaf. Its covered in stickers and he’s cute though so it suits him.
Travis sticks close to one of his early designs as well, although I replaced his minecraft creeper shirt with a triforce instead. His shoes are heelies. I don’t remember the name of the suspenders shirt his frog mode is wearing but it exists in game. Travis’ animal form is also a toad form of his dragon design which is a mud dragon. No particular reason for choosing it other than thinking orange would look nice with his color scheme. The item I gave him was the Toy Hammer.
Treevis I went a slightly different route with, he usually is Pikachu themed, but I gave him Eevee shirt instead because I missed the Let’s Go event in Pocket camp and I really wanted it....... His animal color scheme is based on a shiny recolor I did for Raichu that would make it more closely resemble the Thunderstone. I ended up picking squirrel as his animal since I wanted him to be a rodent but have more of a round look than the animal crossing mice have. Watermelon shirt is a cute in game shirt I thought complemented his freckles well. The item I gave him is the message in a bottle!
Gersalt has similar features as his original design, but I tweaked colors here and there (and forgot his pants were swim shorts so I made them regular shorts here oops). Glasses are a bit of a pain to draw but he’s got em. A lot of in game glasses don’t have the side things that go over the ears so I took full advantage of that with all my glassed characters lol. He’s also a squirrel, more to compliment Treevis than fitting his personality. His colors are based on a red squirrel. His shirt is an in game shirt, I just wanted one that gives off a sporty vibe. The item I gave him was a shovel, which actually suit him and his interest in paleontology.
