when you make OCs, and later find out they look kinda like characters from an existing series

image

When you write/think their stories and  later find out they are very similar like characters from an existing series.

When your OCs have been established for years but characters from recent popular shows look very similar to them

yes…

It’s discouraging, yes, but still, please don’t feel like you need to scrap your ideas and OCs.

Because, uh… I forget who said it, and the exact quite, but it was something like… “you have your own unique vision and way of telling the story that only you can tell.”

(… I think it was Neil Gaiman, but I could be wrong.)

OOC : Oh god this has happened to me so many times, I do use inspirations which I happily reference, but I think the best example of this happening to me was with Cherry Bomb.

I adore geisha so much, my favorite book of all time is an autobiography called “Geisha : A Life” (who Cherry Bomb’s last name is a reference to). I spent almost all of my college education learning as much as I could about Japanese art & culture, even going as far as attempting to learn japanese (and failing horribly). After seeing some tumblr posts about maple moths, I combined the two into Cherry Bomb.

Sadly, soon after making her I discovered an AMAZING, mind-blowing artist by the name of White-Mantis who had a mantis geisha character with a very similar appearance. Of course the second I found out, while blown away by this artists’ style, I was incredibly crushed and discouraged to ever draw Cherry again (which is why she hasn’t appeared on the blog for a while). While it was completely innocent and not done on purpose, I couldn’t and still can’t bring myself to draw her after finding White-Mantis.

So I feel dis post. So many feels ;3;

Also the last gif is pretty much like Headshot and Knightmare x,D

OOC : Sorry for taking so long to actually reply about this, I was honestly so damn excited and happy I didn’t know what to say xD

I love it so freaking much, SO freakn’ much. I pictured Malefor being this size even in Skylanders, keeping a similar if not freakier looking version of his LoS counterpart. I wasn’t expecting the armor, but I’m totally digging it. It makes me all the more excited to read these comics! I have “The Kaos Trap” hardcover that I just recently read, but I haven’t gotten ahold of any of the other comics. I used to really be into reading comics, such as the Sonic the Hedgehog ones and tons of Deadpool and Batman. So far, I REALLY like the comics, and the Malefor story only makes me even more excited!!! Fico Ossio is a phenomenal artist (and really freakn nice from the times he’s replied to my comments on his dA page) and I had full faith that he’d draw Malefor with justice, and hooooly shit was I right. I don’t know if he was the one who designed him, but DAMN JUST, JUST LOOK AT THAT FUUUUUUUUUUUH

Long story short : I LOVE IT TO DEATH! Perfect size, badass freaky design. Once I free up more time I’m totally going to draw some fanart because damn, that face

This is actually OOC, but if you liked someone elses character enough that was based off of the species Lost Queen is and your world for your characters, would you consider making them cannon in your universe? I’m not asking for myself, as I haven’t played Skylanders (have played Spyro games though, Cinder is lovely~) and have no OC’s of such. But I am curious because some people do and some don’t. Some people even get insulted, so I’m a bit curious about your take on it.

OOC : I’m veeeeeeeery laid back when it comes to this kind of stuff, and usually, i don’t mind! Making them canon is a bit more difficult than it sounds, as it could conflict with other storylines. But that doesn’t stop me from being really excited to see what others come up with! I do a lot of cameo, AU stuff so while it might not be canon on this blog, I have no problem say doing cameo nods to fanmade things. Storyline conflictions is usually the only issue, i’m not offended or upset. It’s the total opposite, I get overly excited! xD I cannot tell you how honored I feel that others are even interested in my brainfarts, let alone make fan characters or fan theories. I turn into such a dweeb xD

The only time I’d get upset really, is if someone made a kuros, calls them a kuros or uses the same culture I’ve made for them without crediting me and or stating that they came up with it themselves. 

OOC : So, a while ago I wanted to do a comic for the events of Trap Team, Weirdlanderized of course. A LOT goes down, and it would make more sense for me to just do it all as a comic, but lawd I do not have a good record for doing lengthy comics. I still hold out hope that maybe I could do it, but I’ve also wanted to do a billion other comics for this blog (I have a storyboard for the prologue of Headshot’s origin story done that might never come to light, same with the Awakened comic I was doing a year ago for the Lost Queen’s origin).

BUT whilst I was starting to flesh out the idea of the comic, I went ahead and made a logo for it. There’s a doodled comic over too that I never got around to finishing, but hey if the comic does become a thing, even roughed, I’ll post it.

I might use this logo for posts that are directly related to the Trap Team events. Really liked how it turned out!

OOC : OOOOOH LAWDY I have so many OuO 

Thomas Bergersen is probably the most inspirational when it comes to Kurosia. There’s a few of his songs I’d REALLY like to make animatics for, like this one I’d like to animate the Lost Queen returning to her city after the Skylanders deny her only to find it all aflame, or this one, I imagine Feuriah’s first flight into Kurosia. Thomas is also apart of Two Steps from Hell, a lot of his music is on this channel so totally check them out!

Aaaaaand change of pace, but Delain, my favorite band, is very inspirational to me too. Not only do I picture Charlotte Wessels, the lead singer, as the voice for adult Hysteria, but it’s because of her I gave Hiss vultures as her minions thanks to her song, “Here Comes The Vultures”. I honestly love all their CDs, but We Are The Others is my favorite CD thusfar. My favorite songs from them that I will play if I’m in an art block is We Are The Others (single), The Gathering, We Are The Others (ballad), Sing To Me, and Mother Machine. 

Xandria has a couple of songs I like to listen to for inspiration too, like Nightfall and Dreamkeeper

As songs go, of course Light ‘Em Up is a total Havok/Viril destroying shit song, same with Savant’s No Sleep. Savant himself is a huge inspiration too, so far he’s the best fit for Havok’s singing voice. Like Make Up Your Mind. 

I could go on forever BUT THOSE ARE THE BIGGEST ONES. So much, oh so much 

PS – Really good Radioactive/Light Em Up mix
