Holy crap, it shouldn’t have taken this long to create her. But here she is. Missed a few details here and there and I forgot to draw her in uniform. My bad. Anyway this is Reru,16 years old, Class 1-A student. Already explained her quirk, so I don’t think i have to dig deep onto the details. I did add this tho, she has to be careful with her quirk or she’ll get a headache (Pretty basic but I looked up what the aftereffects of being in a car crash, and people can get headaches and feel stiff). Onto her name (With following your guide) Reru is in katagana so there’s no meaning behind her name, but her last name Utsuchiru 打つ散る (Totally hope I got this correct and right,first time putting in kanji so if I messed up on something please let me know and I’ll fix it). Utsuう-つ meant strike but according to Google Translate it means depression and Chiru means crash, at least that’s what Google Translate told me before, now it’s telling me something else. But putting them together it translates to “Smash”. Uh, One fun fact is that she is Japanese with Hispanic decent. (This has nothing to do with her story or anything, it’s just something I wanted to add). Her hero name, I had no problem figuring out. It’s pretty straight forward, Impact. As stressful as it was creating her character, I did like experimenting with her. Her name was tedious and it does show that Japanese writing is something else. Props to people who know how to work with Kanji, etc. Horikoshi works hard on his characters and I wanted to do the same for accuracy.

I really did work hard with her design and everything. It’s been a year 😅😅. I know there is definitely room for improvement and needs some adjustments, but this is all I could do in the end. First time doing a MHA oc, tried to make her as accurate as possible, and yea that’s it. Hope you like her! Again,if I did a mistake, let me know and you could tell me what I can do to improve. Hope you’re doing well, and that things are going good for you!

Hi again! Hope you're doing great as well as having a good summer (If it is summer from where you're at, either way, hope your having a great time)

Thanks again for the help from last time, I found a good design for my character, just need to put in adjustments here and there.

I said before that I got everything with creating a character, but I need an opinion/advice.

So, my character's quirk is Collison. She's able to make anything crash with physical impact. (Ex. If she were to hit an object, it would crash/demolish to another place, etc.)

Thing is, characters hero costumes go with their quirk and I looked into your guide on creating a hero costume. I already got one, but it didn't look fitting to the MHA style and didn't go with my character. I Got the colors and everything. I got the aesthetic appeal? Here's what I got before. Collisions are often involved with car accidents, so maybe the costume would have a car mechanic aesthetic style, but it would look as if she has some type of repairment quirk or something like that, and her quirk is something destructive, so it wouldn't make much sense if she had a repairment type aesthetic. If that makes sense. So im kinda stuck on that. Any advice/opinion on this?

Hiya, welcome back! Glad I could help last time.

Your character actually sounds like it's good--you've got an irony thing going on, and having a misleading aesthetic isn't a bad thing! It'll throw off the villains for sure, if they don't expect a mechanic-looking person to absolutely slam them with her crashing quirk. I can't think of a pro hero with that misleading aesthetic off the top of my head, but it does remind me of the Sports Festival arc where, since all the characters were new/didn't know each other and were only wearing school gym uniforms, they didn't know each other's quirks.

However, if you did want to switch it or add to it, perhaps add more of a Test/Crash Dummy aesthetic? Some yellow and black segmented circles/bars might do the trick, and you wouldn't even really need to change the clothes you already have since Crash Dummies can wear pretty much anything.

(And if the yellow and black clashes with your current color scheme, that's fine too! Those yellow and black parts are MEANT to stand out and contrast, after all. I think this is one of those few exceptions to the recommended 3-color rule, so don't worry about it.)

Hope that helped, and I really really hope you submit this character to the archive because I'd really love to see the end result, it sounds so cool!

How would you create a design for your MHA oc? I was in the process of creating my Oc since November, and still can't get her design 😅 (I got her quirk and still in the process of her last name). I know the whole process when you create a MHA character.They're design has something to do with their Quirk and personality, but I can't figure out how to make it. I already imagined how it would look but when I illustrated it, it looked kinda bland especially the colors. I already researched on character design and what makes it good and fitting and got nothing 😅.

Hmm, that’s a bit of a situation isn’t it?

It sounds like you have a starting point--name, quirk, and personality. When you say “bland”, do you mean the personality doesn’t show through, or that the costume/hair/etc. are too plain? If the former is an issue, I think the thing with most character creators is that they do make up a story/backstory for characters to see how they fit in the world first, and doing that helps bring the character to life enough to give them a physical appearance. It’s kinda like reading a book or listening to a podcast, and becoming so invested in a character you can imagine what they look like and you really gotta draw fanart for it, y’know? In this case, it’s like becoming a fan of your own character--what moments in their story can you imagine that you really wanna bring to life with a drawing? For instance, they have a dramatic entrance: can you clearly imagine what their first appearance is when they’re first stepping into the classroom at UA, or the epic save they just pulled to help someone else out? Or is there a soft intimate moment between your character and their best friend that might showcase the expression and range you think they may have?

If your problem is more like, figuring out their hairdo or eye shape or hero costume or something? I mean, if something’s not working, just change it. Or give them multiple looks--anime characters may wear the same hairdo everyday but that’s a limitation of the media they’re in. In real life if someone doesn’t like their long hair, they cut it, or they could change from pigtails to ponytails every other day if they feel like it. Similar can be said of characters--if you don’t like how they look, maybe start fresh. If you’re dead set on a certain feature (like say, they definitely have pointy ears, or blue hair), you can probably build your character around that rather than trying to build a character and fitting those features in. (It sounds like a similar process, I know, but it’s the difference between “I want this character to have square glasses, but I think this boxy-looking man’s face shape doesn’t fit it quite right, so maybe this character might look better as a girl” and “I’ve designed this character and, oh right, I wanted him to have glasses, I guess I’ll just put those on even though they don’t go with the design I initially made”. I think anyway?)

The problem with colors can probably easily be fixed by playing around with palettes, though if you’re lacking inspiration I suggest maybe looking at posts or art guides with color palettes? You know, like those posts that are like “here’s 20 different sets of 5 colors, draw a picture using only 1 set”--you don’t have to do those challenges of course, but using the color palettes themselves might prove to be interesting since they’re kinda made to look good together, blending or contrasting or complimenting or whathaveyou.

I don’t know what else you might need help on?? But hopefully that helped.
