Thank you for your reply to my ask last night! It was very enlightening, inspiring, and most of all, encouraging! I'm still a bit nervous especially since I suck at drawing enviroments, but I want to try anyway. I had another question though as I looked at obat's characters it came to mind; do you have advice or thoughts on how to effectively design characters? Thank you for your reply in advantage!

(Whoops sorry for the late response! I’ve been, busy) I’m glad! Honestly I feel you on environments, I’m much more of a character artist so it’s all still very new to me as well. Good luck on your own endeavors depicting different locations! As for character design, here’s a few tips I can think off the top of my head:  1) Try theming your characters after your world / story and vice versa. Ask yourself: what would make sense in this world? What WOULDN’T make sense, and can that be integrated in an interesting way?  The world of OBAT is fantastical and alien, not to mention has a concept where other aliens from other universes can be warped onto it, so I have a lot of leeway when it comes to what characters can exist in it. I primarily stick to what I find interesting though; which means a lot of reptiles, monsters, and object heads. I know that I have the opportunity to add more variation, so I think keeping metaphorical doors open is good too when designing characters. Feel free to experiment with different things and you might surprise yourself with what you end up liking to draw. But don’t be afraid to self-indulge! It’s your characters, make them fun for you.  2) Combine concepts. A ton of the most popular characters today are shockingly simple, either in design, themes, or both. Make a list of stuff you find visually or theoretically interesting. Then start combining things and sketching out what the “hybrid” of those concepts would be. You can then add personality and a backstory to fit their place in your story. Example: Zenith’s design is basically just a bunch of different pterosaur species’ features cobbled together + the color palette and wing structure of a Lunar Moth. I thought it would be cool to reconstruct pterosaurs with winged insect patterns, and that idea eventually became the character.

3) Sketchpages are your friend. Just dump it all onto a canvas. Draw whatever shapes and features make your heart go doki doki. (For me that means a lot of fluff and angular edges).

4). REUSE. OLD. OCS.  Got an old, “edgy” oc you still think is pretty neat? Got a design you either made or bought and want to use? It’s time to get to recycling! Writing is your friend again here, make a list or sketch of all the features / qualities of that character you’d like to retain or reuse, and start plugging them into a new OC or another existing one. There is no shame in giving your old characters new life, and it’ll save you a lot of trouble if you’re trying to fill roles for your story and are in need of inspiration. Example: “Hitchhiker” is a Sycan incarnation of an old OFF OC from half a decade ago. I still draw him in his original form at times, but I’m hard at work integrating his successor into future chapters of OBAT.  

Also Astro originally was just a sona without any associated story. 

Biomechs, a species I co-created with a friend, were originally part of an intricate AU that slowly morphed into its own story. Their existence in OBAT is really more of a cameo (considering they have their own ‘universe’) but it’s also a good example of re-using concepts. 

5) Accept change. Your characters’ designs WILL evolve over time as you draw them. This will simply be a result of repeated refining of the art, or deliberate changes to improve their look. Even if you dislike drawing an OC at first, it’ll get easier and better looking over time! 

I hope that helps a bit! Thanks for the ask and good luck!
