OC lightning round: do you have an OC tag? who’s your favorite OC? what OC have you had the longest? are there small details about your OCs people wouldn’t imagine?
Do you have an OC tag?
I do! You can either access the tag by clicking the "OCs." section on my master list that's pinned at the top of my blog or you can simply search "oc" in my blog's search bar and it'll bring up all the posts I tag with "oc". I should say that when I tag a post with "oc", it's not always about my original characters. I like to reblog a lot of fan art and character design stuff on this blog, both for inspiration and for helping artists get more exposure. I should also specify that the link for my "OCs." section doesn't seem to work very well if at all on mobile for some reason. I'll have to try and fix it later.
Who's your favorite OC?
That would be Djamilah. Many people who know me already know this, lol. They are a Bajan witch/shaman of sorts (it's a bit hard to categorize them) with Senegalese descent. They're about 400 years old and specialize in elemental manipulation. Here's some commissioned art pieces I had done for them:
From left to right: paexie, sol, delweissart
(I used to have a link to sol's Instagram, but it looks like they might've deleted it. I'm working on retrieving a new link.)
What OC have you had the longest?
Uhh, also Djamilah lool. She's seen some things. When I first started shaping the old Djamilah (we'll call her Prototype Djamilah or ProDJ), she was a knight with straight white hair, heterochromia (one green eye, one blue), was actually taller (like 7 feet or something; modern Djamilah is 6'4), and I named her after a legendary Pokémon. Can you guess which one?
...Oh, and she was a dragon shapeshifter. I was really into Spyro back then.
Are there small details about your OCs people wouldn't imagine?
Well, I think this kinda goes without say for every art piece, character, and story. There's always something that could be overlooked or misinterpreted by the reader/viewer, but that doesn't always necessarily mean they're wrong. I've had people ask me if a metaphor in my writing was for something entirely different than what I had intended that actually sounded a whole lot better than my original idea.
Anywho, yeah, there are always small details about my OCs that I think people wouldn't think about. I don't want to give much away since this is a part of my long fic, but Integra's domestic servants—the parlor maid, the footman, the chef—all have unique backstories that led them to where they work now. While they are supposed to be "side characters" in a sense, I still want them to feel like real people. It's no coincidence that these people in particular work for the Hellsing Organization, even if they're just seen as "the help". These are people that have skeletons in their closets, ghosts in their pasts. And it effects their everyday life.
