Olliverse Ramble Cause Why Not
Design and some other details
----------------------------------------------
So first character I had created for this was Ollie in 2023, a character that I had originally intended to be a persona of sorts, but turned into their own character. Then came Beetle and Ivory, who are dating. Next, Ajax, who was supposed to be Ollie's sibling. Another couple, Dorian and Henry, Henry being related to Beetle as their older brother.
At first I was very committed to this mustache-ahh looking hair and opaque circle glasses for Ollie, but would eventually change the hair tho I want to keep the glasses, maybe not opaque.
Then in 2024 I wanted to redo all of them in terms of design and actually do something with them. I made little information pages with information like name, age, personality, style, nationality, favorite food, etc. along with family and friend connections. I focused next on all of their new designs which also led to some development of species as well for the Olliverse.
In order on the top we have both of the redesigns for Ajax, then Ollie, Ivory, and on the bottom first we have Henry, then Beetle, and then Dorian.
Ajax's colored design has a tattoo on his upper right (our left) shoulder, but a little harder to see on their right wrist is what I called a siren symbol, which is something we'll get to later. Anyways, Ajax's job is an arborist.
Ollie mostly didn't change all too much but also a lot. They work as a florist and I didn't have any big lore changes yet.
Ivory got longer, less poofy hair and a more muscular physique compared to her very first design. Ivory's working at this point as a starbucks barista and studying to become a therapist
Dorian's design at this point honestly seemed to be worse or more like I didn't like it even more than I didn't like his first design, it felt too much like he was a kid instead of a 37 year old who is married and works as a florist
I liked Henry's design, but I still felt like it could be improved. I had changed his hair to be a little flatter, I gave him a mask (I had a reason I swear), and a siren symbol on his right (our left) ankle, plus two pairs of ears.
Beetle basically got a little more detailed outfit, more shaped horns, a tail, and siren symbol on the back of her right hand, plus a blind fold.
For a while until it was almost the end of 2024, when I finally decided to start working on lore and stringing my little guys back to their parents and family member besides the ones already mentioned.
I made my second dead character at this point :D
Kaiza Coldwell (Deadbeat father to Henry, Beetle, and.... Ajax?)
And Luna Bennett (Ivory's little sister 👀)
(I thought Luna into being before Kaiza technically)
The rest of the family members were alive :3
Nina Perez (Ollie and Ajax's mother)
Patrick Perez (Ollie's father, Ajax's step-dad)
Rumi Sable and Orion Sable (Dorian's parents)
Epione Sable (Dorian's older sister)
Ondara Hotsnare (Beetle and Henry's mother, Kaiza's ex-wife)
Anthony Bennett (Ivory Bennett's adoptive father)
Caelum Frawley (Later would be Ondara's girlfriend)
**Bonus little character I had also thought of was Epione's crush, Penelope Lumple
Quite literally those were the last designs of any Olliverse characters in my Artist Void Sketchbook (the one I got from my mom)
Species
Like I mentioned earlier, I just HAD to created new species for this project 👀obviously.
I want to develop more but I don't have all the time in the world so there are demons, humans, and spirits so far, with their own little subtypes.
Demons have Oxis, Sirens (darkwater and lightwater), Mothle, Vespern, Cindrix, and Glacra
Spirits have roamers, reincarnations, or guardian spirits
Once I have a lot of lore stuff and info down I will release the link to the google site I keep it all on :3
Anyways that's enough of my silly little world rant
