What was your inspiration for your favorite OC(s) ?
Okay I have two favorite OC : Adrian and Doucella.
Adrian came from an old story that I wrote back in middle school. I always loved his story so he became my favorite character and now my favorite OC. The biggest inspiration was probably the trope where a character is totally different in public than when they are alone.
As for Doucella I think the inspiration is just the color pink xD

Inspiration for a lot of my ocs is just animals in general. Or a interesting spin on a classic character like my oc Goose who is a handsome and brave bowsman but is extremely socially awkward and has bad body dysmorphia. 
the inspiration for my oc Kale was basically young love at its finest followed by classic tragedy lol. The guy is 17 and purposely had a kid.
I don’t like specifying favorites but the one who would be there would be Shadow. I actually listened on repeat to a ballad that was sung by someone. It inspired me for the base of his character from which I slowly but surely developed him and his story.
I don't really have a favorite among my ocs 😅 but my oldest ocs (which I love them dearly uwu) they all came out from a typical anime stereotype like the pervy one, the smol one who has a big appetite, the fashionista, the friendly one until it gets mad etc.

i was like "bruh, ma sister teached me how to draw, lets do somethin'"

and after 5 hours of design, Jesslia's birth happened (hahah)
It comes from music
I made my favorite OC in the summer and my brain was very much in beach/ocean/mermaid mode so he became a fish dude!
King Richard from galavant heavily inspired portions of my favourite oc Adonis. And the chamberlain from dark crystal inspired a major villain. Most inspirations r from ppl i know or knew tho lol
As of right now my favorite OC is probably Thela who was inspired by Kirumi Tojo (a fictional character I have a crush on) and the fact that I’m very gay for women with short unnaturally colored hair
