Your oc, Báe Hé is incredibly fun to draw! How was your designing process for them?
Oh, this is a hard one because I'm terrible at explaining but I'll try my best to do so! Alright, basically, one day I was just like "yknow what I want to make a lmk oc", so since lmk is a Chinese film I wanted my oc to be a creature from their mythology because using any other mythology like Japanese is just rude and disrespectful because it's like saying they're all the same, so I looked up some creatures from Chinese mythology and that's when I found Fengsheng Shou which is basically (风生兽): A leopard-like Chinese mythical creature with a nearly impregnable hide. It could be killed by repeatedly striking its head, but upon wind entering its mouth, would instantly be revived. (Thus “fengsheng,” which means wind-born). Described in ancient texts such as Baopuzi, it is said that humans can gain half a millennium of life from ingesting the brain of a Fengsheng Shou together with Chrysanthemum. (Yes I copied and pasted it) but when I read this I was oh wow that's awesome! So when creating Bái Hé I just needed to pick a main color for her which I chose to be turquoise (because it's one of my favorite colors after purple) then since it's leopard like, I just made her hair a dark shade of turquoise which is a little on the green looking side and I was going to make her ears the same but then the spots wouldn't show so instead I just made the ears and tail lighter with spots (from memory of what leopard spots look like but I think I accidentally made them look more cheetah like than leopard but it's fine, animals can have whatever spots they want) as for clothes I'm the worst at outfit designs that's I made it very simple because I'm not good at designing clothes (I might make a redesign for it tho), as for why I made the other arm covered is because irl I have something on that arm that I don't like to really show because of reasons so I decided to do the same for her. Lastly her name is supposed to be Liyli (pronounced Lily just spelled differently) but I put her name in Chinese which is Bái Hé (which I forgot was the name of LBD's host) although feel free to call her Liyli or Bái Hé whatever you decide or like best. So yeah that's just how it went, the end. :D (sorry if it's long)
