#oh! also

Squints. Tumblr may be crunching my poster quality.

(Someone should tell me if I need to just type out the survey related data on the poster out here)

Extra fun facts from the data!

Terra is in 11th place on the favorite character scale

The 59.18% of people with Days as the favorite story with one of the sea salt trio as the favorite character gets bumped up to 64.63% when you include Saix/Isa in there

The 44.87% of people with BBS as the favorite story with one of the wayfinder trio as the favorite character gets bumped up to 57.69% when you include Vanitas in there

50% of people who put UX as their favorite story had a relevant character (such as Strelitzia or Brain) as their favorite

70.45% of people who put Roxas as their favorite character put KH2 or Days as their favorite story

65.31% of people who put Xion as their favorite character also put Days as their favorite story

81.81% of people who put Ven as their favorite character put BBS or UX as their favorite story

80.55% of people who put DDD as their favorite story put Sora or Riku as their favorite character

All 5 people who put Brain as their favorite character also put UX as their favorite story

All 5 people who put Zexion/Ienzo as their favorite character all put different stories as their favorite

Here's an extra visual I didn't include in the poster showing the additional favorite story breakdown of the top 7 characters. Not in the poster because A) where the heck would I put it? B) I used the heart colors for each game but it feels like maybe too much all at once??? And C) there is bias

Listen. There are more people who said Roxas was their favorite character AND Days was their favorite story than there were people who said CoM was their favorite story regardless of favorite character. There is a very obvious trend of Days because there were already so many people saying the Days story is great. Comparing them like this isn't really great. Feels... disingenuous or something...

ANYWAYS!

Shout out to the only other person who said Repliku was their favorite character <3

Also, tagging the people I saw who were curious about the end result of this project :]

Do you have a process for how you visualize your OC's?

Thank you so much! I'm not great at explaining, but I'll be happy to ramble my thoughts:

On occasion, designs will randomly appear in my head almost fully concepted. But this is rare, and usually the idea is more starting with a certain concept of what I want. From this concept, I will use different methods of designing depending on the nature of the character - are they a common monster? Are they a powerful eldritch entity? Or just some guy? etc

From there, once decided, I get a feel for different aspects of what to focus on and how complex to make em

Here are a few methods I often employ to try to tie together what I had in mind:

This is just the creative aspect of it, and as you go further down you'll get more into things like shape language, silhouette, & color palette that impact the vibes

And what if Xornoth got resealed into The End (with the help of the twst Great Seven)?

And what if the Briarlands had communication with the Empires and before the last attack on Esmp (which would've happened at the same time as the war in the Briarlands) in which was a letter telling the Draconia's to keep their troops in the Briarlands as only one out of both places could survive and they would rather it be them?

And the rulers all dissapeared mysteriously after they lost?

And what if one (or more) of the first years are descended from the Esmp island (I really have to come up with a proper name for this island)?

Theres much more to this au... would you like to hear more about it?

oh, valid question! rules: I'm not super confident in my ability to draw porn yet so probably nothing nsfw, suggestive I'm okay at but the only ship I like is Billford... could be any character or any fandom, but I'm best at gravity falls and ninjago stuff so most anything else might not turn out very good. I like taking creative liberties so chances are as long as you're not extremely specific I can figure out how to do it in a way that's fun for me XD
