Ouooo tryna think of a question ā¦. What are your favorite tropes in media ā¦.
I like a lot of angsty identity tropes :) Brainwashing, mind control, possession, things along those linesā¦. which is very plural of me, to be honest. /JOKE.
Is there an oc of yours who you had the most fun writing the lore for?
I donāt āwrite loreā in the way where I create a character and then Iām able to come up a backstory for them. Instead, I develop characters based on their role in the story, and how they should push the plot forward because of that role. For example, I take a character concept, then I consider what the character would add to the storyā what messages would they perpetuate? How do they add to the theme or lesson of the story? What would their relationship with other characters be? Whatās their significance to the worldbuilding?ā and any background details come after, and have to make sense with the already established role.
That being said, while I have fun developing all of my characters, Iāve had insane amounts of fun coming up with sona lore. I have yet to figure out how to construct Doodle and Artblockās story, but characterizing facets of me and how they would interact with a deconstructed story has been a very fascinating thought experiment for me. Medea and Ellipse are fun too for exact opposite reasons, but those are spoilers ;)
Do you have a favorite design that you've made for a character? Alternatively, is there one that stands out as being the most fun to draw? How do you go about your creative process? What are the steps you use to capture what you're looking for?
Honestly, I have a lot of mixed opinions on my own designs. Iām not satisfied with the vast majority of them, because my designs often end up being very simplistic and repetitive (in my eyes, at least). In order for a design to be āgoodā, I have to do a lot of research to make sure it is, and sometimes I just donāt have the time for that when I want to draw them right now!
I will say that I do really appreciate Thirioās design, if only because he has key design details that hint toward parallels he has towards other characters.
His glasses parallel another character, and his kimono is intentionally crossed right over left instead of the correct way. It makes sense in context, but I should really move on.
My opinions on who is fun to draw shifts, considering that I often end up drawing the character that I hyperfixate on most at the moment. But one example that stays a consistent source of being fun to draw for me is Outlander.
Something about his short, snout-like face, as well as his expressive horns, make for excellent practice drawing at different angles. His simplistic and flexible body also makes it easy to practice dynamic poses with him. I often find myself doodling him very often just to warm up.
Artblock is also fun to draw for some similar reasons, but one thing I really appreciate is that the roughness and scribbles in their design are diegetic to the story. They can look as messy or unpolished as I want, and it makes sense, since theyāre Artblock!
For your last two questionsā¦. I really wish I had a concrete answer for them, but I donāt. Thereās no one way for me to achieve what I want, and truthfully, Iām a very amateur artist. A lot of my pieces, especially fully rendered and shaded ones, are very messy when you look at the close details. Thatās partially because of the limitations of the art app I use, but also because my process is nonexistent! So much of my art is me fucking around until something looks acceptable, regardless of whether or not it matches the vision that I had going for it.
At the very least, I have outlined some steps for how I might go about making a piece, whether itās art or writing:
Make an outline. With art, this can start with thumbnailing, or if Iām feeling particularly risky, I start directly with a rough sketch. With writing, I write down a few sentences about what direction I want the scene to go in.
Solidify that outline. With art, usually this translates into me lining the sketch, since thatās what I do most with my style. With writing, that might turn into me expanding my outline by making different lines with step-by-step instructions for how a scene goes. I often skip this step in writing, though.
????????????
Wake up with a colored and sometimes rendered art piece, or a collection of paragraphs.
Touch them up a little until you stop hating it.
done :)
And that is the Doodle way š! I donāt recommend approaching art like this in the slightest, but again, Iām just a beginner.

Jaide would prefer teaā I can picture her liking a lot of herbal teas specifically. She definitely has the vibes of someone who, if she existed in the modern day, would love to curl up with a blanket around her shoulders and a mug of steaming hot tea. She loves to be warm and cozy!
Of course, thatās just hypothetically speaking. Jaide canāt drink anything as a ghost, and I donāt think Subcon Kingdom would have access to tea or coffee.
