@yahumankdj hope this makes sense.

I feel like you could do this with all 5, it would just take a bit more time and effort

How do you make OJ oc edits like that?

( Hello! I’m going to use this opportunity to make another edit & show exactly what I do to recolor characters into OJ ocs. First, I start by finding a screen cap that I want to edit on animationscreencaps.com. I’ll be using another Holli Would picture as a base again. I’ll also be using GIMP, a free photo editing software. Recoloring may be difficult if you don’t have a drawing tablet, but you can make do. For cleaner lines, I have a touch-screen laptop that I use as a ‘tablet’. If you have neither, I’ve also been able to do it with a mouse as well, just takes some more time to clean up uneven edges. Okay, on to the tutorial! )1. First, we open the image in GIMP. 2. Make a transparent layer & drag it underneath the original layer. This is just in case we need to erase something on the original layer, it will have a transparent background behind it.3. Make another transparent layer & put it over top of the original.

The original layer should be sandwiched between two transparent layers now.  4. Change the top layer mode to “HSL Color”. This will be our skin color layer.

5. Before we start coloring though, we want to erase her nose & ear since cells don’t have em. Go back to the original layer, eye drop the colors nearby, & simply paint over the nose & ear. 

6. Beautiful darling. Now, go back to your skin color layer. Pick the color you want, choose a brush, & start coloring! The color I use for Carci’s skin is #bd00ff, on mode “HSL color”. 

7. After you’ve erased any mistakes from the skin coloring, we will move on to her hair. Create another transparent layer over top of the skin layer, set mode to overlay. This will be our hair color layer. Carci’s hair color is #ff00f9.

8. After erasing any mistakes from the hair coloring, we would work on her dress. This picture doesn’t show her dress, BUT, if you WERE editing her dress...create another transparent layer, set the mode to “LCH color”. Carci’s dress color is #dd00d8.

9. Now I’m gonna edit her eyes. Create another transparent layer, set mode to “lighten only”. Color is #ff00f9, same as her hair color. Just remember the eyes layer mode is different than the hair layer mode & must be set to “lighten only”. 10. I also like to edit the eyelashes/eyebrows. For eyelashes, create another transparent layer, set to normal. Redraw lashes, erase mistakes. For eyebrows, create another transparent layer, set to darken. Redraw eyebrows, erase mistakes. As for colors, I use black/dark purple for lashes, dark purple for brows.

11. Now to fix the color of her teeth. Create a new transparent layer, mode set to "hard light”. Select a super light pink (like the white of her eyes) & use that to recolor the teeth. Erase mistakes.12. Next we will add the highlights to her hair. I’ll admit, I was a lil lazy with the highlights last night cuz I was getting sleepy...so this one will be better. We will be using the same color we used for the teeth as well. Create a new layer, set mode to “hard light”. Trace the outline of her hair, including the lines that overlap into it. This is where the tablet or touch-screen would come in handy. Just have patience! 13. If you want to add highlights to her skin, create another layer, set mode to “lighten only”, & drop it below the hair highlights layer. Make sure you use a light purple color instead of pink. Make sure the highlights are only on her skin, not her clothes. Erase mistakes... change background if you want... & you’re done!

Remember, you can always choose a different base/colors, this is just what I chose for this particular OC. But the possibilities are endless! You can make a red blood cell, white blood cell, germ, virus, etc. Whatever you want! Decorate to your heart’s content.

Picking Colours

╚═══.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.═══╝

If you don’t know how to get Screenshots of your mayor in high quality please look around on either google or tumblr!

To start picking colours I use the Eye-drop tool to select photos straight from the image in my drawing program! For this tutorial I’ll be using Sketchbook Pro which is Free, has no Ads, and is the closest thing to PS cs6 in an app that I like! It also has line prediction which can help smooth hair waves!

Generally I like to try and get 4 colour variants from the original picture, this helps with light and dark and blending later on! For each attribute for your OC pick at LEAST 3 colours! I’m doing her hair, face, and feet! So I picked those colours here!

Blending The Hair

╚═══.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.═══╝

I do a new layer for all my edits EXCEPT Face edits (I’ll try and explain these later)!So we’ve selected around 4 colours for her little ear flipper...gills?You start by drawing the basic shape of what you want in the colour that’s most PROMINENT on the hair! This is our “base” colour. Adjust the shapes as needed, then start adding the darker colour where the shadow would be and then the lights where the lights would be! I used a blending tool to blend the colours and edges, it makes the photo edit look like it’s from the game!Save your darkest colour to almost “line” the finished product! Make sure to blend out the edge a bit so it isn’t a hard line. The best advice I can give for this step is take your time, look where the light is coming from, and observe how the colours look on the base photo!This same advice applies for any other non face cosmetics...like her flippers!!

Blending the Face

╚═══.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.═══╝ If you are adding or removing an eye, you’ll have to do what I do, and that’s edit the BASE photo! This might be a bit scary at first, but it’s worth it I think!

To remove an eye you’re going to use the selection tool and select the eye you want to be her “main eye”. Move it to the center of their face! Then you’ll need to blend the existing skin OVER the big white patch you made in their face. Select some of the skin colour and add it as you go! Now you can create a separate layer and place skin colour over the other eye, any harsh edges etc. I find the airbrush tool on a super low setting helps the face look more pixelated!

To add an Eye!

All you need to do is copy the selection you made of the “main eye”. Add this in the middle of the forehead or wherever you want it! Maybe their a fortune teller and have eyes on their palms!! Blend the edges accordingly and voila! They’re no longer strictly human! ╔═══.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.═══╗

Adding Blemishes

╚═══.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.═══╝

Can we all agree freckles are so cute? Or even some light blush! To do these, they’re pretty much the easiest cosmetic change you can make, that’ll still make your OC stand out!

Choose a brown shade, these here work fine but I prefer cool tone shades for freckles.

Make very small dots, in two varying sizes! I find having two sized freckles dispersed looks better than one size! More natural!

Pick up the main skintone and airbrush LIGHTLY over them! This will just make them look like theyre IN the skin not ON.

Here’s The Final Look! Any Questions? Send me a DM or Ask! Happy Editing!
