For your svtfoe fankids, were there any outside inspiration for developing and designing them, outside from their parents of course?

well to be honest

most of them are strongly just from me playing with their parents traits and not much else, but i think over time as i started figuring out their personalities and what kinda characters i wanted them to be it helped influence parts of their design a lot, especially their outfits.

like sky wearing monster themed outfits for example, or how i wanted galexia to be a little more of an oddball so i gave her more mismatch clothing and funny earrings when i make her outfits.

i don't know how much was because of outside inspiration, but i do remember making certain choices purely because it was the OPPOSITE of what other creators were doing.

like sunny has tom's nose, purely because i tended to notice other tomstar girls were never designed with it. (Let girls have big noses). Or lukas, because i remember at the time other artists talking about how tomkie fankids always tended to look conventually nice looking and i decided i wanted lukas to not come off that way at all and instead stand out

some of their outfits also tend to fit clothing styles i think are really cute, like i might see a cool outfit in another piece of media or just around in general and think "This would suit a character of mine".

so basically, i'm sure there's more outside inspiration then i'm probably remembering but I know i definitely had influences in their hair and outfit designs once i got an idea of what i wanted them to be personality wise.

some probably inspired from my own wardrobe.
