Some concepts for a guy that I don’t think I will finish :)

some sona art that i didnt use. ignore the fact that they’re holding meat ❤️

this one is a bit older but i didn’t want quinn to be excluded

↳ What lie do they tell themselves to sleep at night? Seriously. What’s the little piece of denial that keeps them functioning? Do they pretend they don’t care what people think? Tell themselves they’re over that one person? Convinced they’re not the villain of someone else’s story? We all lie to ourselves; your OC is no exception.

↳ What’s their emotional kryptonite? A specific thing that absolutely shatters them, like someone crying? Being ignored? Praise from a parent figure? The sound of an old song? The smell of something nostalgic? Find it and use it against them (lovingly, of course).

↳ When do they feel the most alive? Is it mid-battle, mid-baking, mid-breakup? Does adrenaline light them up, or do they find joy in the quiet, mundane things, like folding laundry while listening to sad girl music? This can reveal a LOT about what drives them.

↳ What would totally ruin their day? A bad haircut? Someone touching their stuff? Or is it something deeper, like being reminded of their failures, or seeing someone else succeed where they couldn’t?

↳ Who do they think they should be? And who are they really? This one’s juicy. Do they think they should be a hero, but keep acting like a villain?

↳ What’s the one thing they’d never admit out loud, even under duress? The shameful thought. The inappropriate desire. The thing they desperately want but don’t think they deserve. DONT FORGET: Characters are built on what they repress.

↳ What are they petty about? Don’t pretend your OC is above this, I mean everyone’s petty about something. Do they hold grudges over stolen pens? Get irrationally jealous of someone’s hair? Still mad about a game of Uno from 2007? Petty makes them fucking real.

↳ How do they act when they think no one’s watching? Do they let their mask slip? Dance around the kitchen? Talk to their cat in baby voice? Cry a little?

↳ What would make them snap? Where is the breaking point? What line has to be crossed for them to finally say “Enough”? Is it injustice? Betrayal? Feeling powerless? You’ll know you’ve found it when it scares you a little (Or a lot).

translation below cut btw my handwriting is illegible. please ignore the inexistent drawing quality i did not put effort into these.

A lil note for my friend @cactusssxp v

Are they afraid of losing their memory with age? Are there any memories they'd like to forget?

Do they believe humans are inherently selfish, or inherently selfless?

Do they believe in fate or free will?

Do they believe some individuals are inherently more important than others?

Do they believe some truths are better left buried?

Do they believe suffering is necessary?

Do they believe that humanity is alone in the universe (whether that pertains to God or extraterrestrials)?

Do they fear being forgotten?

Do they fear death or what comes after it?

Do they feel like their life is one they chose, or one forced upon them?

Do they have any recurring nightmares?

Do they possess a secret that would destroy them if found out?

Do they see more value in individualism or collectivism?

Have they ever done something that made them feel like they couldn't recognize themselves?

Have they ever doubted their own sanity?

How do they cope with intrusive or impulsive thoughts?

How do they cope with the knowledge of their own mortality, or the mortality of their loved ones?

How do they handle long stretches of solitude or silence?

How do they react to the concept of eternity?

How do they react when confronted with something they can't explain or don't understand?

How would they react if they learned that some of their memories were not as they remembered them?

If everything they loved was gone, would they still be the same person?

If no one pays something any attention, do they believe it truly exists?

If presented with the opportunity, would they accept omniscient knowledge?

What are their irrational fears?

What do they believe is life's purpose?

What do they consider real? Do they only believe in things they can see and touch?

What do they think about dreams?

What is their breaking point?

What would they do to uncover a truth they desperately need to know?

When do they consider someone no longer a person? If someone remembers nothing, are they still themselves?

When do they feel the most alone?

When do they think survival becomes pointless?

When thinking about themselves, are they a soul, a consciousness, or a body? Do they think as I, we, or you?

Which do they fear more, the deep ocean or the reaches of space?

ive been watching a lot of videos of this and heres some fun things that I do with my ocs. yay

make a family tree i also just like family trees in general but it is fun and it is helpful to have an idea of like. what their parents names are and if they have cousins etc. i use family echo its fairly easy to use

picrews when I dont want to draw I do picrews :D

uquiz you could make a "which of my ocs r you!" orrr you could take quizzes but as ur oc. both are fun

make edits of them im not an editor but its not too too hard. also if you dont have a lot of art you could make like. moodboard edits. which brings me to my next point

moodboards / stimboards very fun to make and helps get more of a solid vibe down

pinterest boards this is like a bigger version of a moodboard & it can help with drawing them too like save references that you could use

playlist lowkey this is wayyy too much work for me half the time but working on it over a decent period of time works for sure

walking around your room listening to tiktok audios and imagining animatics you can do this too :thumbs up:

actually drawing animatics/animation memes more satisfying than just imagining them I promise

fake social media its soooo fun I do fake dashboards but you could do pretty much anything
