OCs Body Swap

I have vacations right now, so I have time to finally draw long overdue things, like finishing some old sketches, drawing some badly needed refsheets, draw never seen before OCs of mine, or just finally practice seriously.

Well, here is another Rensie/Winnie joke to add to my huge pile of Rensie/Winnie content. :')

IT LOOKS SO WRONG!!! :'D

Rensi:"I told you flowers in your hair would look pretty!"

Winnie:"These flower are better out of my hair before we switch back."

After almost 7 months I finally came around to upload another character on toyhouse :')

Link to the entry:

A community for collaborative character creation and trading, worldbuilding and roleplay.

I just copied her story I posted some time ago here on tumblr, so for the folks here, only her stats and relationships are new.

I really hope the next character will come sooner then 7 months, but I don't know yet which one this will be. If you saw a picture (or a mention) of an OC of mine you want to know more, I'm open to consider wishes for who to be next on my toyhouse. :3

Anyways, here are the finished pictures of Raja, I posted wips of them some time ago (plus a little portrait for the toyhouse profile).

Raja and her husband

I said I would make another post about Raja, but I first had to answer all those awesome questions you wonderful people keep asking. <3

For now, all your questions are answered, so here is my Raja post.

Something I didn’t mention about Raja in my post about her is that she is actually married to one of my better known OCs.

She destroyed the hopes and dreams of so many young ladies of the high society - by marrying Winfried!

Those two are actually one of the earliest couple I created in my medieval headworld and I did not create them on the basis of being a couple. Both were created independently without the pairing in mind. But I shipped them really hard and decided to make them a couple! <3

Their story:

Raja being new to the royal court of the lizard kingdom and a new member of their high society, she badly needs to learn all the stuff one has to know about it. She never received any form of higher education before, she doesn’t even know how to read!

Winfried did something, which really displeased his king, but nothing which is bad enough to get a real punishment like imprisonment (he acted in accordance with the king's wishes but did it behind his back, which the king rightly perceives as a breach of trust).

To punish Winfried, the king orders him to teach Raja. Winfried has usually no problems with being a teacher, but with Raja, he has to start at zero. He is very displeased about the fact that he, the smartest and most educated person in the kingdom, does have to waste his very valuable time to teach someone how to read and other most basic stuff. It would be way less wasteful if some lower scholar or a simple secretary or literally anyone except for him would do the basic teaching. Yes, the king is very aware of how much Winfried is bothered by this…hence the choice to use it as a low-key punishment.

Winfried isn’t someone to redirect his resentment towards a certain person to another, but of course his annoyance about the whole situation is noticeable to Raja and well, the brutally honest person he is, he also just tells her how stupid he thinks the whole situation is.

But Raja isn’t bothered much by it, she is used to people being straight forward and pissy, she is just grateful to learn.

Well, what happens if two attractive singles are forced to spend a lot of time together? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Raja, not knowing (and “feeling”) the structures of the high society, she treats Winfried more straight forward then most others, because she is not afraid of him in the slightness, only respecting him for his intellect and not for his status in society. Surprise, Winfried actually prefers being treated that way.

As said, Raja is very grateful to learn and she strongly values higher education! This is something Winfried loves about her. He often has to deal with people who take education for granted or are even annoyed if they have to learn something new, both are attitudes Winfried despises. But Raja loves to learn anything new!

Raja is fascinated by Winfried, he’s so much different than any man she ever met before. She is highly impressed by his vast knowledge, she can just ask him anything and he has an elaborated answer. She loves how he encourages her to learn, which is a big contrast to her former life as soldier (“just obey, don’t ask any questions”). She also never met a man with such a good personal hygiene before. :')

So much for the origin of this OC couple of mine. Of course, there is way more to them, since they stay together for the rest of their lives and have two children together. Feel free to ask me anything about them.

Now that I have properly introduced/revealed this pairing, I hope to draw (or commission) some couple pictures of them in the future. :3

Do you have an OC with a funny/weird/unusual creation story? (not the story of the character itself, but the way the character happened / you suddenly got attached; any character you didnt plan on keeping around, but then kinda did?) Tell the story!

There is actually no OC of mine whose creation story I would consider especially funny/weird/unusual. But I do have some OCs, who I didn’t really plan to create and then they got a bigger role than intended.

One example for this would in fact be Winfried.

When my medieval headworld was freshly created, I needed some basic characters running around, especially at the royal court (where the story starts). One was a teacher for the young prince. I soon had the basics for it in mind and created Walter, a simple lizard. Then, I thought that a royal court would have more than one teacher around, and it would probably be a sign of prestige to have scholars from other kingdoms around to teach the young prince. So, I created Letizia, a simple wolf. Keep in mind, they were just created as minor characters mainly for the first part of the main story. After I created those two, I thought it would actually not be far off, if those two were a couple, they work in the same position, see each other often…

And suddenly Winfried existed! :'D

All three of them where still minor characters, I never planned for Winfried to exist anyways, he just kind of happened. But soon I grew a liking in Winfried and used him for more and more things, and before I knew, he is one of the most important characters to the story and essential for some important plot points.

In the meanwhile, he also is one of my most important OCs for me personally, even outside my headworld. :)

I mention another example, so I can talk a bit about one of my lesser (or not at all) known OC. :)

Not quite the same, but also an OC who got a bigger role than intended is Wasim.

I just needed a random insect character for a short scene, to show how different two of the more important characters think about the enemy (and act accordingly). I actually drew this scene many years ago, haha. :'D

And that was it for a long time, he didn’t even have a name. Over the years I created more and more details of the story and at one point I needed some insect characters who appear in the background. Since I’m a fan of random characters appearing several times throughout a story, I actually remembered that random wasp dude from that one scene. So now he could be sometimes seen in the background at this specific place. Which also made complete sense for him to appear there, since it is a secret tavern in the lizard kingdom (no insects allowed in the kingdom at this point in time), which is totally in accordance with him being caught earlier trespassing into the lizard territory.

Even later, I created a part of the story, where I needed an insect character who guides two important characters (insects) to this secret tavern in the lizard kingdom. It just made so much sense to use that one wasp dude for this! :'D

But this time, I gave him a proper design, a name, a personality, and an own little background story.

Wasim went from a random one-shot character without a name, to a character, who actually does have an important role (yes, minor characters can also help with the big events). Him guiding those two to the tavern is an act, which later helps to lead to the main event of the story (peace between lizards and insects). He even does briefly meet the two lizard guys again, who captured him all these years ago.

I guess those two come closest to the subject of the question. At least I hope so. X)

I have no regrets in coloring this.
