After watching a friend’s art stream not too long ago, I was having difficulty thinking of a picture to commission them. Why? Because my ideas mainly involved other Artists’ OCs rather than my own. The reasoning for this is because I just don’t feel as enthusiastic about my own OCs.
I am still bamboozled as to why I don’t feel that much love for my own OCs. While I do enjoy thinking up stories with Leon, Parker and Nixie, the stories are mainly just Nixie’s regular routine of caring for the baby dragons. Whenever I try and make a storyline involving the other OCs, I usually get a nauseous feeling in my stomach and I don’t know why. I get the same feeling when I try and make a big adventure style story involving said OCs.
The Captain’s Log thing was a separate canon, despite the fact I had some fun working on it, I don’t think it’s the setting I want for my Primary canon. There’s also Takoda and the “Shield of Art” series I had her involved in, but I have difficulty working on that as well. Could I make that the main canon somehow? Possibly, but I dunno, I still get that nauseous feeling just thinking about.
I just see the lore and characters made by other artists and they are so adorable and have great lore of their own, often going on grand adventures. I just can’t seem to find a way to inject this same amount of love into my own OCs.
It also didn’t help that the majority of my OCs are dragons. For a long time, I didn’t feel comfortable drawing OCs that weren’t dragons or reptiles. Now that I have expanded my horizons, I can see a large amount of my cast is stale due to how similar many of them are. I could change the species of some characters like Mirin, but it feels wrong.
I want to make my characters more interesting. I want to have a setting that could lead to adventures and such. I have some of these elements, but when I try to work with them, I feel sick to my stomach. Why? How can I made a good universe for them that’s entertaining?
