Just an oc of mine.
I don’t usually post my art, but he was one of my proudest. Biggest inspiration was myself and my attributes, mostly projecting just like any other artist.
(Also, gotta love interesting features, which calls for the bumped nose. Always been a fan ☺️)
My aroace mention ✨
Creating original characters (OCs) allows artists to explore their creative boundaries and personal experiences. This process is often cathartic, offering a chance to infuse one's identity into their artwork. Artists can convey significant aspects of their personality through unique features, such as distinctive physical traits, which often resonate with their own experiences or ideals. For example, incorporating facial features, like a bumped nose, can symbolize personal experiences and preferences. These elements contribute to the narrative and emotional depth of the character, making them more relatable and engaging for the audience. In the OC design community, artists often seek to represent identities and orientations authentically. Celebrating diversity and inclusion is crucial, as it not only reflects real-world experiences but also fosters a sense of belonging among viewers. Some creators use their OCs to discuss and share aspects of their identities, such as being aroace. By showcasing these concepts in art, creators can spark conversations and promote understanding within their communities. Engage with this dynamic landscape of originality, where every detail in character design shares a piece of the artist's story.

Just a starting artist learning anatomy and whatnot. Love character designs whenever I see it.
