Obvs re: Desa but if there's anyone else that you want to answer for, please do!!
🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?
🧊 - Is their current design the first one?
🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?
im gonna send a few of these so you can space em out if you want :) no rush
Rudely, tumblr ate my answer the first time but the ask isn't gone so I'll just try to re-type it :)
🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?
When i first made Desa, I hadn't had the chance to draw for myself in several months, so her design was really just everything that seemed fun to draw that I hadn't had the chance for with commissions and whatnot :) after drawing her, the very basics of her character started to come, but I didn't really have her actual story for a couple more years lol.
All of the other main characters are products of me fleshing out Desa's story lmao... Iryna, Siell, Oren, Tirann, Olian, Kippi, Kaien, Dian, Oasis, etc. And i love all of them so dearly now haha but originally they were all just there for Desa 🫡
🧊 - Is their current design the first one?
Not really, but there are definitely a LOT of holdovers from her original design!! Her original design is also closer to her design at the beginning of her "story" than later.
My first drawing / design of Desa, circa January 2022
Then again in April 2022!
Versus some more recent art :)
🍩 - Who is your OC's arch-nemesis or rival?
Though there are a lot of potential answers to this question lol, i think that if you were to ask Desa herself, she would say Oren. I've only ever posted about him once, but Desa haaaates this guy lmao. She mostly just thinks he's annoying, but he also really likes trying to outdo her, which frustrates Desa to no end. I like him though :) sorry Desa :)
I love themmmm :))) thank you again for sending an ask (or several)!!! This is so fun!!!!
