For Audrey and Tower, Questions 16, 17 and 18!
16: [OC] What gave you the inspiration for your muse?
Oh gosh, okay so for Audrey. I had this dream, a long time ago before I made this blog. About this fisherman shy guy, who lived in a cozy home in a bog?? And he had two friends, one who I forgot, and a sleepy piranha plant.
And well, that dream is the one that inspired me to make OCs in the first place, and the sleepy piranha plant went on to be Audrey!! I chose a pale one since I hadn’t seen anyone make one of those yet, and it all took off from there? She’s actually the only one from that dream that made it to the blog ;; rip fisherman shy guy, the one who started it all.....
Tower was actually the first OC I made! After the dream, I was trying to think of species that no one had made an OC of yet, and I hadn’t seen any D-men!! And D-men are so fun and shapey, I hade to make one... and there he is. The Soft Child. His personality then came when I designed him and he looked so rough, and there I knew. He was kind through and through.
17: [OC] What made you choose their faceclaim/appearance?
There is just something inherently sapphic about having completely covered eyes. There is just no denying this fact. Other than that, I started out with Audrey having more 20s inspired clothes bc she was partially inspired by Thoroughly Modern Millie but then she became a farmer so now she has. Farm Clothes. Also ok she’s like... rly obviously based off of SU Sapphire in appearance lmAO but like I said... covered eyes is sapphic.
Tower, honestly?? I just, drew what I thought the regular D-man sprite looked like to me. Square! Though he is more round now, and I like how he has evolved that way!
18: [OC] Was their background decided from the start or developed over time?
Their backgrounds were developed over time! I mean, my goals for them in mind were always: Tower wants to get out of his job, Audrey wants to be a star in the city. But everything else, the meat, came after that. To be fair though, Tower and Audrey don’t have the particularly largest backstories. Both are pretty straightforward!
Also, they were originally gonna live with a few other characters, but some of those characters were either scrapped, or given different roles as things changed!
