i feel like. theres designing a character with certain themes and motifs in mind, and then theres making a gijinka for the water bottle on my nightstand
#me when im the only person on the bus wearing a mask: i should make a furry plaguesona
#its hard to explain bc. most of the time i try NOT to give my characters a 'strong' theme like making their whole design around
#one thing like apples or even broad stuff like baking or cottagecore.. idk if its partly for flexibility or because i cant imagine them
#making it their whole personality. not bc i find it cringe or overblown but more like ive learned to associate design with character depth
#i had a cutesy uwu persona for most of highschool because i thought it would make me more. likeable? easy to remember? since
#memorable character designs are easy to recognize. and one way of doing that is simplifying it with a theme or symbol so you form an
#association. but since im a real person its exhausting keeping up that appearance all the time and denying myself things when they dont
#fit my 'aesthetic' or 'theme.' i think ive grown past that bc i just collect stuff because i think it looks cool and dont let myself dwell
#on how it might 'fit' with my image. but i cant help feeling bad doing it to my own characters bc it feels like im making them too one
#dimensional. despite knowing that theyre not real and design alone doesnt reflect depth i cant help feeling like its wrong
#despite that i love seeing motifs because it feels like it reflects the characters soul and paradoxically gives them depth. it makes them
#interesting to look at too and honestly its pretty fun combining things that fall under a similar category when designing
#i struggle find a balance between those two things
#actually this reminds me of noelles christmas theme.. i dont remember her saying anything abt liking christmas despite a lot of
#her design and character tying back to it. it makes me wonder if she would have feelings about that or doesnt think abt it too hard
#or if its like a matching family shirts situation and shes just going along with it??
#maybe i should just do whatever i want with my character designs since theyre not real and im thinking abt it too hard
#although. this probably has something to do with deep seated identity issues huh
