's OC ramble account! I talk about my OCs and stories here.
Salina is a tech genius and is quick to understand any tech she comes into contact with. She's pretty well versed in working with/using many types of xenotech as a result. She specializes in Luminoth tech, obviously, but she's shown a great understanding of Chozo tech as well.

Okay, so I promised I'd talk a bit about what species went into DV's creation to make him. I'll share images as I can in the attached posts. I can confirm they're all alien races I created. He did have general influence from the Space Pirates seen in Metroid Prime, but it didn't stick in the end.

Finally got a non-armor reference for Eshala (and by extension, Javik). This isn't their casual, but it could be treated as casual too. Both are the leaders of their people, so this is essentially their formal for the job. After the war Eshala leans more feminine in how she dresses. 👍

Eshala: Guns, notably. She's a weapons expert and can unintentionally talk for a while. Clarissa: Vehicles. She's a mechanic and she gets excited because she's a nerd. Aerion: Other racers. He's a fanboy as much as he is a professional. Salina: Technology, especially xenotech. Complete nerd.

A little closer to what I'm wanting. I decided to do a profile so I could show the head shape. Everything's color coded, btw. Hopefully it helps people see the different parts of the head.

Trying to figure out how I want my psychic aliens to look. The females used to have two very big, wide eyes. Removing that for four eyes like the males because I want them to look less human. These guys were used in DV's creation and are the reason he has four eyes (and a few other traits).

Natalia's down for it. In fact she prefers to be at bars and clubs getting lost in the energy. She does know how to dance though, unlike what canon tells you. She just made a long running joke of the idea she couldn't. Though to be fair she has two left feet with formal dancing.

Natalia would say she did. She had an evil clone and, while that got resolved with its death, she would go to a Halloween party at least once just wearing her usual casual but with a devil horns headband. If anyone asked, she was dressed up as her clone and the devil horns were the hint.

Here he is~! Dark Void (DV) has been an OC for AGES and he's finally got a fullbody reference and outfit now. DV's anatomy was hell to figure out. His head was my design, as were his arms and the outer ribs on his chest. A friend had redrawn his head front and back to help give it workable anatomy.

Looking at my SciFi story, I can say I'm very happy with the aliens I have created for it. The klorvok and Ivarians are ones I'm especially proud of. And thanks to another artist I can finally say I have a visual for Dark Void. DV artistically is a collaboration among three artists and myself.

Aerion and Clarissa met as kids. He was the first alien she'd seen in person, in fact. She was four at the time and he was a few years older, being more around 7-8. They grew up together but had they not met as kids, I don't think Clarissa would have ever been stable enough mentally to stay alive.

Sadly. Usually the story just develops in a way that the OC doesn't fit/isn't needed anymore. One other time it was due to how my OCs were treated by others. I was desperately trying to avoid tropes I was being accused of and people kept saying I wasn't avoiding it.

I kind of tend to create new OCs frequently so it's changing a lot. Latest one I think is Zazzel though. I started developing her as soon as I got her about a month and a half ago. She's still a work in progress but I also feel she's developed enough as a character to stand on her own.

Got a head concept down for Xallahn. This guy's had colors in mind for ages but I never put them down visually. I used the lines I did to help figure out another OC's colors, so... child head reference time, lol. I'll blab more about him later. I'm tired right now.

Aria and Itzal are from my childhood. I had them originally as imaginary friends. Joke's on me, they were OCs before I knew what OCs were. I want to say they're about 30 IRL years old by that alone. If you go by story creation, then... 22 years. (I'm old.)

Can't say any of them believed prior to finding theirs. They (usually) aren't looking for one, friend or otherwise, and just kind of find someone they click with on that kind of level. Even then, I don't think they see it as soulmates as much as just closely bonded.

Pazzek comes to mind for this, and this is literally part of his job. I have no reference for him, but he's another prothean OC of mine. After getting settled in the current cycle he gets a job with C-Sec on the Citadel. He just figured it was something to do and he wanted to stay around Idane.

Good luck lying to any of my prothean OCs. They're going to know and probably be pissed that you chose to lie rather than be honest. Anger level depending on who it is, lol. If you're going with other muses: Natalia: Prefers the honesty, not much really gets to her after everything she's seen.

Finally made a little quick ref of how I see Eshala's anatomy. Everyone has their own interpretation of the way protheans look under their armor, and I finally got a quick body reference down. It feels good to have it and I'll have to expand the base to include the full body and not just the torso.

Natalia's story is AU, technically. While most canon remains intact, I notably added the fact the Protheans managed to (barely) survive as a species. They're not extinct. It's also considered AU as I replaced one canon character outright with an OC, and I also introduced Eshala which broke canon to-

Some already faced that. Eshala, Jiren, and Siva'Ivahn all fought until the end as there was nothing else to do. Though before she entered stasis, Siva ended up sleeping with someone because she wanted to feel something (emotionally) before what she expected would be her death.

Bold of you to assume some of them have neighbors and don't live off the radar in an isolated place where no one can find them, lol. I think there's definitely a scale of "normal, kind of quiet" to "chaotic and loud" for my OCs. Most probably fall toward the latter description. 👍

Not entirely OC related, but I have been much happier with my art to the point I want to draw now. I found a character I'm comfortable with and I'm just not stressing about things I used to. As a friend just told me: art is a marathon, not a race. And them saying that you can find enrichment--

I think I'm going to end up with Zazzel becoming an icon or persona OC. She just feels like me in a way. I can't really explain that either. Every time I try a persona character, they develop away from that. Kallie got the closest but even she became more OC like. Zazz might break that trend.

For some OCs that have partners: Natalia: She made the first move, but unintentionally. She was just joking around and it got taken for more. Eshala: Way too oblivious to her feelings to act first or wait. If she made the first move then you're in the wrong timeline, lmao.

Many of them already do because they're paired together! >:3c Not sure if you'd mean in a platonic sense. 🤔 Not a lot of my OCs share involvement with other peoples' OCs, regardless of universe. And I mean in terms of interacting on a canon to their world/story level. I have to consider this more!

Zazzel: Art, memes and shitposts. Clarissa: Mechanics and similar things. Aerion: Pictures of where he's been, his races and interacting with fans. Tiri: Posts about her research but also trolls other people (she's her dad's daughter). Natalia: Doesn't. No desire to because of weird fans.

I think I'm cooking here. 🤔 Sketch for a ref sheet I'm doing for Zazzel. I am still trying with the legs, so they're probably off. Though I think they get the point across enough that others can understand the idea. I have a lot of specifics to add so it's... gonna be bigger than usual. 🙃

Natalia already had a crisis about her identity. It'd probably go the same way. Not in that she's having a crisis over being a clone, more like the crisis of being mistaken as the original and not having any of their memories/experiences. Pressure to live like she were the OG would drive her nuts.

Eshala notably came to mind. She had zero experience because Jiren chased off anyone interested in her so she never even bonded with anyone beyond being allies. As a result she was pretty awkward when she did have her first kiss. It was of course with Javik after they chose to try a relationship.

Doodles I did of my OC, Zazzel. Just needed to decompress after a meeting today. Also just trying to learn consistency with her (face/head especially). Figured I'd try some expressions too.

Clarissa has bad days pretty often, so Aerion tries to be there for her. When he can be there he sits with her whether or not they talk or even do anything. He knows she doesn't like talking about things and often bottles, so just being there physically helps her.

Joke's on you, that's their canon universe. :) But if you applied my other scifi OCs (keeping the theme): - Chandra and Selene would fare well. - DV would excel given his abilities and training. - Clarissa would not do well as a civilian. - Aerion has a better chance, but he'd lack experience.

Natalia: Not afraid to threaten people. She also uses her status against people and it tends to work. Eshala: She'll threaten their life or beat them to the edge of death, so yeah, pretty successful. Siva'Ivahn: You don't mess with a doctor that can harm you in ways you didn't think someone could.

This is how you know I have brain rot over my ME OCs. I have story summaries, story ideas, timeline junk, explanations of everything in the AU I created, and just rambles I pulled out of my Discord for ease of finding it again. I have to get files from elsewhere for my fantasy story, but yeah.

Most of my OCs have their partners, though not all of them celebrate or really acknowledge Vday. Humans like Natalia know of it, but my alien OCs don't really understand it or celebrate. Though in some cases with my Protheans they may know human culture enough to go with it to a degree.

All the time! I talk about and roleplay my OCs with my friends' OCs. This is how I develop a lot of my OCs, actually! It's a joy because I get to help them in return with their OCs. ♥

Clarissa's song is "I'm Still Here." That was the one that inspired her as a character and why she exists. Aerion I just generally associate with the classic rock bands "Foreigner" and "Journey". I can't put just one song to him.

Jiren was forced to grow up fast due to the circumstances of war, so he wasn't able to be a kid. He resents this later. He went from frustrated and irritated by the expectations he dealt with to very laid back as an adult. These days not much bothers him & he's just happy to be alive and see peace.

Original story wise: - Aria is an only child. She always has a child that then has a child after she passes, thus restarting her reincarnation as the newborn. This is particularly fucked psychologically but that's the way it works. Due to that, none of her bloodline has more than one child.

I finished the lines. \ o/ Trying to not make all my lines the exact same thickness. I had a lot of fun with the lines and I've noticed I'm getting faster at them! And to explain the star: that's Iridessa's true self/form. She's a Millennium Star!

A lot of them do, but Maribelle and Chryssa are the first two that come to mind! Maribelle is a vampire so she only tends her gardens at night. She's very good at what she does though and grows some of the best strawberries in Eliphel. Maribelle loves her gardens in general though.

Usually I come up with their concept and role first. From there I figure what is fitting to their world, personality and job if applicable. Once I know these things I write down everything. Since I have aphantasia it helps to just footnote and then draw out what I wrote down.

Another Zazzel! This was pose and perspective practice. I was playing with the idea that she has bowed legs too. Just because I want to break out of my comfort zone a bit. I'm enjoying myself and I'm happy others are enjoying what I make as well. ♥
