WANTED: Looking for Art/Comic Moots!
Let's talk about OCs! What inspired your OC?
.
Dez is my OC from my comic OniGirl. She was inspired by multiple things:
.
🤍 REAL LIVED EXPERIENCE! She's based on my own experiences with a traumatic upbringing and the anxiety and low self-esteem that comes with that
.
🤍 ANIMAL CROSSING! Her physical design is largely inspired by my oni-themed mayor in Animal Crossing: New Leaf
.
🤍 MONSTER GIRLS! I combined the two previously listed inspirations into various monster girl sketches, back when monster girls was trending hard in the 2010s. Those eventually evolved into the character you see now!

Hey everyone! So glad you're here chatting about OCs and what sparks that initial creative fire. It’s truly fascinating to hear what inspired OniGirl's Dez – taking personal experiences, Animal Crossing charm, and the awesome monster girl trend to create something so unique. It really got me thinking about the magic behind character creation, especially when you’re diving into specific niches like, say, crafting a compelling giantess comic. When I think about what inspired my OCs, it’s often a blend of things, much like Dez’s origin story. Sometimes it’s a tiny detail, a fleeting dream, or even just a cool aesthetic I saw online. But when you're specifically looking to create characters for something as visually striking as a giantess comic, the inspiration needs to go beyond just 'making them big.' It's about exploring the implications of scale, power, and perception. Imagine the narrative possibilities! A giantess character isn't just about her physical size; it's about her impact on the world around her, her relationships, her struggles, and her unique perspective. Are they benevolent guardians, playful titans, or perhaps misunderstood figures? My personal take is that the most captivating characters, giantess or otherwise, always have a strong emotional core. What are their fears? What do they yearn for? How does their unique physicality amplify these internal conflicts? Developing a strong visual identity is key too. Just like OniGirl’s Dez blends an oni theme with Animal Crossing aesthetics, a giantess character can draw from countless inspirations. Think about different cultures' myths and legends of giants, or even the fantastical creatures from your favorite games. How can you give her unique features, clothing, or even a specific habitat that enhances her story? Don't just make her a 'big person'; imbue her with details that speak volumes about her origin and personality. And for those of us who love comics and manga, the artistic challenge is super exciting! How do you convey scale effectively in your panels? What camera angles emphasize her towering presence or her gentle touch? These are the kinds of questions that get me buzzing when I’m sketching out new ideas. It’s not just about drawing a big character; it’s about mastering visual storytelling to make her feel truly immense and powerful within her world. So, if you’re looking for comic moots to bounce ideas off of, especially for creating something as imaginative as a giantess comic, I’d love to hear your thoughts! What kind of stories would you tell with such a character? What unique challenges or advantages does her size bring? Let's keep this conversation going about what truly inspired your OC and how we can all push our creative boundaries to bring even more incredible characters to life!
