what’s your favorite OC of all time 😏
omg Cole that's so meaaan (half-joking)! Picking one of my *checks list* 186 fully developed characters?? ONE?
I hesitate between a few, because they truly changed me as a human being and as an artist... I'll cheat and pick a few! haha
❥The original Loustica (she was my Minecraft persona before I used her name for everything online), who allowed me to explore more sides of my own person and grew up with me (I made her in the early 2010s). Still my online persona to this day. She represents my creativity and the best sides of myself!
❥My custom Robin from Fire Emblem Awakening, Robin/Lou/Loustica (I used to call all my characters Loustica for years lmao)! Another character that was my art muse! This game changed my brain chemistry and rewired it. It's the reason I started drawing characters, and making charadesign. This game made be buy Manga Studio (former name of Clip Studio Paint) to start digital art. I even drew fanarts of it on my Wii U (Good old Art Academy lol) and 3DS (Miiverse, beloved). I wouldn't be the artist yall know without Robin, and Chrom. She's been the source of inspiration and motivation that made me learn a lot of things in art. She also was my first cosplay! So yeah, definitely in my top 3!
❥ My first Hawke in Dragon Age II, Eleena Amell Hawke! Another cosplay I've done by hand (my first time using EVA foam lol) ♥ There's a lot of my self in her, but not necessarily in the aspects people would expect. She helped me heal and understand my own problems better, and she became very important to me over the years. The way I adore Fenris didn't help too! They're both very dear to my heart and part of my DNA. I might not have time to draw them daily, but I do think about them almost everyday. They're so hurt/comfort coded.
❥ My main BG3 Tav, Vesper Cullagh! She isn't important to me for the same reasons, but she forced me to step outside my comfort zone more often, and someone that made me happier (despite the tragedy of her backstory). She also was one of my first OC that people actively recognised online, when I was so used to only having a handful of friends caring about my blorbos asdfghjkl
❥ Last but not least in this list (otherwise I'll list all 186+ OCs XD): beloved Alba De Riva! If someone here doesn't know them, you've probably never been online in the last two years haha They've been a fun sidekick of mine for almost four years now, but they truly got to shine thanks to my "Oh, a Crow Rook is called De Riva? Like Viago? The man they kissed? What if I made them a Crow joining their lover's House?" decision before the game was released haha I wouldn't lie if I said they were my current fave, just by counting the amount of times I drew them lately. I don't think I drew a character as much as Alba. Even the older ones OWO' (I was slower at drawing, back then XD) They're such a ray of sunshine, with so many layers of kindness, silliness, and occasional seriousness that catches me off guard.
