#I have little oc intros with some picrews for visual purposes

[wish-i-had-robin-wings]

I’m fascinated about the oc stuff you mentioned! I only recently (within the last year) started creating oc’s so I’ve not really thought about creating images of them. I pretty much just save stock photos and photos of celebrities that resemble what I’m imagining, but that can be a pain. I’d love to hear more tips (as well as hearing about some of your oc’s if you’d like to share!)

A beloved mutual, hello!!

It's cool to hear that you're getting into oc stuff, making up little guys is so much fun! You'll have to tell me about yours sometime! I gotta admit though, saving stock and celebrity photos sounds like a hassle :/ I can't imagine what you'd do for a non-human oc…

If you're interested, I have a ton of picrew links I can share (and obviously I can give you ones with more specific aesthetics if you have something in mind, versus just dumping a truckload of random links on you).

I also really like using Heroforge (D&D Minifugre website) to make ocs (D&D related or not). They update pretty regularly so there's always better options (especially for non-human ocs) and colors for more specific customizations. It's especially cool because if you decide you really like it, you can buy your oc as a minifigure (but you can still use the site/save your oc even without buying anything)! I love free websites :3

Lately, I've been focusing on my batch of Minecraft ocs. I was supposed to join a big rp server, but that fell apart so now I'm just 'writing' it all myself. It's been really fun, and I like being able to build an intricate story and characters from a pre-set template that comes with making ocs within a pre-existing world/ruleset (It's just much easier on my busy brain for when I'm not working on my actual original writing or whatever XP). But because of this, I've also been making full Minecraft skins for those ocs. It's pretty much just pixel art, and I am nowhere near the levels of some of the proffesional skin-makers out there, but I've made some pretty cool stuff if I do say so myself!

TL;DR I am not good at art, but my imagination is very hyperactive, so having some of these online resources has helped a ton in just getting something out into the world. I am more than happy to share site links and answer any questions you have about navigating them if you wanna dm me! I'd also loove to talk about all my ocs more, but I know that can be a lot for a tumblr ask…especially if tumblr keeps eating them >:(

Thanks for messaging me, hope this helped some!

(Also, sorry for the weird formatting of this post tumblr is being dumb and I can't fix it for some reason...)

#why do the paragraph breaks look like that and why can't I change their spacing tumblr please the readability #i got an ask! #anyone is free to dm me for links btw #I figure it's easier to dm since I'm sure people will want more specific links #I could just make a master-post with all the links but that seems like too much #maybe if enough people ask idk #also been thinkin bout just making oc posts like I do in my writers/rp discord #I have little oc intros with some picrews for visual purposes #but I also don't wanna be annoying and flood people's dashes with stuff they don't care about #hopefully that all makes sense and isn't too many words... #I tried not to go into too many details bc I was excited lol #also trying not to add too much extra info in the tags like I normally do #especially about my frustration with the minecraft skins #I have so much fun making them and they look so good when they're done #But I am colorblind and never tried pixel art before just jumping into skin making soooo yeah lol #but I'm rambling now oops :3 #anyways! #no cute emojis like usual bc i'm on desktop sad #heroforge #picrew #oc stuff
