Hello Ali cats, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Iā€™m hopeful that Iā€™ll hear back from a job sometime this week but weā€™ll see. I donā€™t want to be too excited as there is a high chance it doesnā€™t work out xD Nonetheless, keep your fingers crossed for me!

Later this week Iā€™ll be making a rather ā€œslowā€ but spunky character- any guesses? If I get the art done early Iā€™ll post a wip to see if you can guess then too :P

Question of the week is this: do you have any OCs (original characters) that youā€™ve made for stories or other purposes? If so, tell me about them! What was your inspiration, what they look like, etc.

There was a character I made for a comic named Nasty Kat (named after the music album whose songs gave me the idea for the comic). He was a chill humanoid cat in a purple trench coat, scraf, and pants. He has a habit pf doing eccentric hobbies like build a hot air balloon for his own adventures.

First of all, that Death Note cosplay art was really cute. I've heard fantastic stuff about that anime/mange and that might be my first choice should I ever get into anime/mango. Secondly, sorry I've not been listening to your audios lately. I'm currently going through training modules for my work - and for that same reason, my current artwork is put to a halt as well ;_; Hopefully I'll be done with them soon so I can get cracking. So I guess there's something job related that we're both going through right now. I hope you hear back soon from your soon-to-be-employer! And speaking of my current artwork - it's an OC again which I guess ties nicely into this QOTW. Technically ...yes? They have been used for stories, but I never mentioned their names or identities. And another reason I add "technically" is because they were stories I created for my English essays, not in my own time. Two years in a row during high school, I used the same universe and characters for my creative essay in my exam (and I passed, because of course I did lol). I think I might bring that world out via a comic or something. I even have a name for this world. I'm planning to start off by revealing its name with Star-Wars-style cover art. Honestly... if I ever get to that, it'll be awesome and I can't wait to show everyone! Arty and Lyra are obviously modern iterations but character 3/3 will be more resemblant of the type of character from this world, you'll see! I plan to have him out within the next week! My goodness, how much did I drag this on for. You mustn't ever let me go on about OC's and original ideas/worlds/stories/etc... You'll be listening to me yap on for hours. I hope you and any alicat reading has an amazing day/night!

Back when Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire had JUST come out on the Nintendo 3DS, I fell in deep love with the Hoenn story as well as Pokemon Battle Frontier Series. I made this OC (who looked my me) with wavy and straight jet black hair, brown skin and black eyes, and his stsrter pokemon was Swampert His name was Res (unoriginal, his name was composed of the initials Ruby. Emerald. Sapphire). I made him go on a journey similar to that of the gameplay of ORAS and Emerald, but I made a slight twist where the OC becomes this ultimate pokemon champion that no one has ever been able to defeat. And then eventually later on (i think i wrote a whole story - don't know what i did with it but i remember like the back of my hand), he travels to the Eigo Region (A region i completely made up) and becomes the Champion there with his team of Hoenn/Eigoean Pokemon. His team was Mega Swampert, Rootroot (Fully evolved Eigoean Grass/Rock Type Starter), Umbreon, Aegislash, Primal Groudon, and Eigoean Legendary Giyodus (Ghost/Flying) He wore dark grey cargo shorts, black and white running shoes, dark navy satchel, Black/Emerald/Teal Hiking Vest Hoodie, and a White T-Shirt. He was very soft spoken, cared a lot for his pokemon. He was bullied in his younger days but was able to use that frustration and isolation to become the strongest trainer in Hoenn and Eigo.

OC characters? Do dreams count? If so I had a fun one the other day - I dreamt I was walking home late at night up a very steep city street, a bit worse for wear after being at the pub, until I turned a corner to find a girl standing there talking to a huge white tiger. It had long teeth and claws that occasionally glinted in the dim light - but it also had thick, fluffy snow white fur and black stripes. It didn't scare me though, and the girl continued to have an animated argument with the silent tiger, complaining it had done something or other. The tiger seemed to be taking the criticism in the same sort of sulky/proud way housecats look when you tell them off (e.g. it isn't very effective šŸ˜‚). Eventually, they both noticed me. The girl raised a hand to give a quick wave, and they both began walking toward me. Weirdly, I did what I would do with a big dog, and opened my arms and lowered my shoulders as it approached - it didn't seem angry, and it let me touch its fur and ruffle its head and ears. The girl quickly explained that she was called Lily, and that the female tiger was called Thistle. She talked a bit, explaining they help people get home at night, a bit like a strange bus service, something they apparently did regularly - and all the while Thistle was letting me stroke her fur. We then began walking, and I eventually made it to wherever I was going safe and sound - with Lily and Thistle continuing their late night shift. I do not know why I had this dream. I don't normally dream like this, and it is seriously far more creative than anything I've created on purpose before - but I guess they are technically OCs of mine šŸ˜‚

Also fingers crossed here for the job! šŸ¤ž

Speaking of jobs, I work much better with my father since he pays me more than the original job I had. I could work for 1 week and make half a thousand dollars and such. Also I'm gonna guess when I see an image rather than with limited information about the drawing. My OC kinda has a story. Originally, this was one of my discord friends art. The character was supposed to be a Corrupted FNF(Friday Night Funkin') Character, yet I never knew what character it was. I bought it off him and re adjusted it to my liking, and surprisingly he liked how I re designed it. I turned his corrupted character into a 3 tailed demon Wolf, with a Blood Sword that was an inspiration from Finn's Demon Sword from Adventure Time, the Gauntlets from Omega from Xonic Madness(already told you about this during the zombie apocalypse question), and Naming him Azazel because of my liking to TBOI Azazel. Currently, he and I are working on a new redesign with him, but it's still gonna be a long time till he shows me all the coloring he's done, while I've done the sketch of it. Also something to note, I only did this art because I was stuck in Quarantine and was bored, and remember, I NEVER liked art until I tried it because of being stuck at home. The only form of art I liked was band because music is good. :P

Anything to do with cats I automatically love, especially one wearing a purple trench coat! :P Have you ever thought about drawing him again?

Death Note would be a great first anime! Itā€™s one that Iā€™ve rewatched many times and I absolutely love it ^_^ Itā€™s got great art, mystery/detective themes, and cool characters. I think youā€™d enjoy it Arty. No worries at all being behind on the audios! Real life always comes first so never forget that. My roleplays will always be there when you get around to them so take all the time you need. I hope the new stuff at work is going well for you! :) I look forward to your third character. I very much enjoyed Arty and Lyra so Iā€™m curious to see another. Also, I like hearing you all talk about things you enjoy! Itā€™s great to hear people be passionate and enjoy things so thanks for sharing that :D

alichuart

Thatā€™s really cool, thanks for sharing that JQ! :) I think itā€™s really neat that you did that playing Pokemon too. Growing up (and even now) I would always have a little story playing in my head of my character in game. It makes it a lot more immersive and fun! Reading that made me want to make a Pokemon trainer OC sometime ^_^

alichuart

Thatā€™s such a cool dream! I think thereā€™s only been a handful of times Iā€™ve had a dream that was that realistic. A lot of times I see myself in third person when I dream so itā€™s very rare for me to be ā€œexperiencingā€ whatā€™s going on if that makes sense. It feels more like Iā€™m watching someone else or a movie. But really, those are some neat characters! Maybe you could write a little story or make something with them sometime ^_^

alichuart

Thatā€™s really cool to read about your characterā€™s history. Thanks for sharing that Azazel! :) I didnā€™t know about the Adventure Time inspiration. As a big fan of that show I love that! :P Do you have any specific ideas in mind for his redesign? I know youā€™re a fan of black and red together so are those still going to be around or are you two thinking of something completely different?

BloodyAzazel

I've actually got him working on that, but I've told him to work his magic on what he thinks could work on it. While I've been waiting like 6 months for him to give me a new redesign along with a new "technical" reference image/pose(not stolen Alichu, don't worry lol), I've had one of his art pieces given to me from him and I did a bit of color variations with it, having it as a golden bear with purple a astatic for another friend of mine. However he knows more about art than I do so I think he will probably add some color to it, even though I asked for just those colors so who knows.

Sir Skelington

Ooo do you mean the original Star Wars poster? If so that would be pretty sick.

Sir Skelington

I have a lot of ideas for characters, but I have one that I think their story has potential. It's a darker story with a lot of inspiration from Berserk. The main character is a boy whose lost his home and family very young but become part of another family, though unluckily he isn't welcomed by most of the family, except for the mother and little sister. Later in the story the brother and sister find themselves away from home and he is charged with protecting her. The story has a lot of struggle and pain abut I think that the main theme of the story so far is one of purpose. I have a good amount of characters in mind for it but I still think the main character needs more thought put into him before I really get started, mainly because I just don't think most people will like him and I need to find way to adjust that. It may not sound like much but I've been very careful to word things to not give anything away. There are a lot of moments that I want others to know about with the story but I think It's best to keep that for when It can be read. Funnily enough, until you asked this question, I had never actually thought about the character design of the main character. I'll have to give it more thought but I always did like how with the main character of Berserk, you could tell where you were in the story depending on how the main character looked.

Kai Zomei

I drew him at least once more after the comic, but that itself was a couple years ago now

Artilleries

Sounds like a really cool foundation to work from. I too feel the same in regards to the pressure of making sure people like the story and characters. In fact, I feel it is more crucial for me to achieve that because the idea I have for my world will likely not be received too well at first. But with an engaging story and likeable characters, any concept can pull it off. Also, you probably knew I was going to ask this. Have you seen the release date trailer for MW5C? What did you think?

alichuart

Based on what you described I think that has the makings of a really cool character and story! I very much enjoy Berserk so to hear that it has inspirations from that makes me very interested. I very much enjoy the darker themes in stories with the intent of teaching a lesson or having that positive undertone with it. Definitely a story Iā€™d be curious to read. Thanks for sharing Skelly! ^_^

alichuart

Apologies for the additional reply but reading Artyā€™s comment made me want to say something else. I think itā€™s cool that you want to adjust the character to make him more likable. I struggle with that too when writing but you can do it! :)

Question of the week: I have a couple of characters but most of them have no name. (I have problems coming up with names) And I only draw the characters I don't really have any major goal or plan with them. I just like designing monsters. My characters: Name:Mimi Monster:Arachne Appearance:small,human-looking,short purple hair,green eyes,arms and legs spider-like,6 Spider leg on the back,2 fangs Kleidung/Accessoires:She wears frilly dresses, boots, striped tights, crown, hairpins and a brooch. Inspiration:Remilia Scarlet and the Gartenkreuzspinne (Garden cross spider) Mimi is my oldest character I created her 5-6 years ago. All the other characters I have are less than a year old. Mimi is my favorite character and my favorite to draw. I designed her for a game as a 3D-model to learn how to use Blender. But I didn't enjoy working with Blender and I stopped. Name:Hanna Monster:bug girl (centipede) Appearance:she is normal size (if you ignore the centipede under body), red-brown long hair, 2 antennas, blue eyes Kleidung/Accessoires:she is wearing a white shirt Inspiration:a yandere picture and centipede I always like to draw her sleeping, be lazy or upset that she can't sleep or be lazy. I plan to redesign and make her looks more like a centipede. Name:has no name yet Monster:sahagin (shark) Appearance:small,short hair, shark-teeth,shark-tail, shark-sins, big hands and feet with swimming pools Kleidung/Accessoires:wears no clothes Inspiration: my old tiger-shark plushie (that I no longer own ;o;) and Monster Girl Encyclopedia She is a fairly new character that I created. I first draw my characters with pencil on paper and only when I draw them on the PC do they get their colors. and I don't have time to draw at the moment. But maybe at the weekend she'll get her colors. Name:has no name yet Monster:bug girl (praying mantis) Appearance:big, human-looking, long white hair usually tied in a plait, red eyes, arms and legs bug-like, praying mantis arms under the human-looking arms, 2 antennas Kleidung/Accessoires:she is wearing knight's armour and carries a large two-handed axe Inspiration:Character Creation ASMR Roleplay by alichu art and praying mantis I wanted a companion for Mimi and Ali's story came at just the right moment :P. I have more characters but that is enough for now ^^ .

Bit late, but good luck with the job! I hope you get it or already got it! As for the question ...umm.. do you count if it's just a name I choose for rpg's..?

Sir Skelington

I would be curious to know what about the world within your story wouldn't be received well, as I also have moments that I think most people wouldn't like but I think they make for a more interesting and engaging story. I did see the new trailer and I think its better than the other one, but I still think they should have made Smoke Jaguar more crazy, I mean they are basically aliens to the rest of the galaxy and yet they seem normal. Again though I feel like our team is going to get ousted from the clan and we might even go against the clans. From what I've heard other people say, this game will be more of a linear campaign game rather than the sorta sandbox game that 5 was, and I'm not sure how well that will be received.

alichuart

Apologies that this took me a bit to reply to Mi-kotin! I really enjoyed reading about your characters though, they all sound so cute ā¤ļø I especially like your idea of a praying mantis. I remember seeing your centipede and spider girl; did you ever have your pfp be the mantis? If not and you choose to draw her Iā€™d love to see ^_^

alichuart

Thanks Delta, I really appreciate that! Iā€™m going to assume my first interview didnā€™t go that well haha! Itā€™s ok though, Iā€™m trying to stay positive and do better next time >:) RPG names count, especially if youā€™re role playing a character!

Mi-kotin

The shark gets her colours and then I draw the praying mantis. I have some older drawings of her, but I'm do a new one. And Ali if you want, you can choose a name for her. Because she was inspired by your character, even though you reminded me what your naming looks like with your last YouTube video. It is still much better than my naming xD.

Delta

Aww.. that's a bummer.. I do hope you get one soon!!! :D Oh! Lol then my character's name is Drake Blackwell, backstory varies from game to game though lol

alichuart

Ohh, I see your pfp change- that must be the shark girl! How adorable! I love the pose/perspective of how sheā€™s looking up ^_^ I definitely wouldnā€™t trust my naming skills haha! I can try though! What kind of personality would you say your mantis girl has?
