Hi everyone, Lemongrace here! I’m an EU-based hobby artist from Poland with a great love for drawing and designing characters from a variety of games. I started out with World of Warcraft, only to branch out to the universes of FFXIV and D&D, and it’s been quite the fun journey!! Besides art and gaming, I’m also interested in history (partly due to my heritage) and learning new languages.
Who/what was the inspiration behind your original character?
Icatia was born out of the idea of a magical girl trope meeting Dungeons and Dragons. I’ve wanted an unapologetically cute character that would remain a beacon of hope in a world full of adversity, finding strength in her own softness. She’s a homage to the childhood heroines such as Usagi from Sailor Moon or Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew.
What made you want to create your own original character?
My friend was running a D&D game, and the previous character I made for the game didn’t click with me—so I turned to something I knew from previous RP ventures! Someone less abrasive and a little more wide-eyed in the big world.
Are there any similarities between you and your OC?
While I’d call us opposites for the most part, both me and Icatia are very much into indulging ourselves when an opportunity arises haha (only difference here being that she’s a rich fantasy noble, and I’m a freelance-hobby artist OTL).
Thanks for sharing your OC with us, Lemongrace! Check out more of their work here.
