Howdy!! It's so funny to me you found me via my youtube stuff I feel like it's so lost in the void since I seldom post there- even when I was more active LOL! Thank you so much regarding the OC's!!! ;O; Regarding the doodle sheets youre referring to- I have a short and long answer! The short answer is nope there's no specific name for that style really! I call them "doodle pages" in passing but that's just because they're literally pages of rough doodles. I think the way they are may be a smidge unique to my thought process but it's not something that I'd say you couldn't do either! If you're inspired by them I'm honored- feel free to make your own you have my permission!

The longer answer is that my default nature and happy place as an artist is to just doodle like that! I spent ages just doodling with pen in my notebooks while also taking down class notes. On top of it especially with OC's I tend to love rotating details or scenes like a rotisserie chicken in my brain!! Often constantly deconstructing and reconstructing things repeatedly over years! All of that kinda resulted in these doodle pages- at least when it comes to the linework and notes! I only really fully color them if I'm drawing digitally (most of my traditional ones are just pen doodles OR at max have touches of highlighter for color). If you want to somewhat follow my headspace when your doing your own I'd describe it as freely doodling, focus somewhat on a specific ish 'thing' (Concept, OC, or story timeframe/scene) and then just also add your mental notes as you go! When I'm doodling these sheets they're primarily for me to just get a concept and thoughts out of my head so they stop haunting me. Given that nature I tend to do them in a way that expedites the process because I can't stand working on them for forever. Sometimes they just have the bonus of being half decent references! If you want to see a more 'controlled' version that's a bit different but also reflective of that multiple doodle/note whatnot and my brain- checkout my older (2019) OC refs! Here's one for my OC Akumu! Others can be spotted in my Toyhouse among fav/main Dreamscape characters.

(p.s pspspsps you might like Far From the Tree by Robin Benway, it's about siblings adopted by different families meeting each other and it made me cry like three times, very found family, very sweet book)

A handful of like old school reads for sure! (Think like The Outsiders, The Giver, The Great Gatsby)- I used to be all into Warrior Cats but dipped off around the “A Vision of Shadows” Arc! I consider manga in the books category to so Inuyasha was another huge one!

so the DS: Purple trio met at school as teachers, DS: Blkue met in a library during high school (or college?), but I don't think it's ever been said how the DS: Pink trio met?

so did Claudia meet Justice and Amsguard in college like Eliza (assuming Claudia made friends with Eliza in college and not high school) or did they all meet each other earlier?

and also for the funny! I misread Amsguards likes and thought it said he liked "cactus soup". is cactus soup a thing? would he consume it if it WAS a thing? What is his personal food critic rating of cactus soup?

(the yearbook interviewer in me emerged here, WHOOPS)

OOO SURE-

💜Ok so for the DS:Purple Trio Dally and Marina (currently) knew each other briefly in high school, but then have a sort on/off again during college until they’re together. Dally then meets Oden at work/as teachers! Sometimes I think about reworking Dally and Marinas first meet time (maybe not till college) but overall thats theirs!

🩵DS:Blue are all highschool! Damian and Kyle are longtime childhood friends. Then Damian meets Kaya in the school library and introduces her and Kyle.

🩷DS:Pink has Claudia, Amsgard and Justice all being highschool friends! Amsgard has a sibling dynamic with Claudia- Justice and Claudia date since highschool. Claudia meets Eliza in college and they’re roomates turned close friends!

As you can see theres a lot of highschool friendships in the story this is partially due to me writing the chunk of the base story when I was also in highschool/fresh into college. Now that times passed thats why sometimes I think of shaking them up a bit like DS:Purples since them meeting earlier then college doesn’t really make a difference! DS:Pink is so rough writing wise LOL so that one can be anyones guess in the long run!

Thank you!! ;w; You’re awesome to!
