Sketch Of My OC Kael.

Motivation and an Idea

I am currently trying to draw my characters, but since I kind of struggle with that, I decided to take a break from that today and rather start figuring out how to write about them. Then I realized, it's probably best, if I first introduce the main idea that connects all (/most) of them.

As I started, I had two things: motivation and an idea.

After I played Undertale for the first time, I discovered the huge fandom behind it and realized that the world I loved so much had a whole other dimension to it (literally 😂). I saw the great content people made, like art or music. That made me plant the little seed of motivation into my head. I was thinking, maybe I could make something that great as well.

That was the moment I started to write a story. I didn't feel too confident to draw anything, so the best thing I could do was write. I was really proud of how it turned out. It was pretty basic and stuck to the normal game. I also had this idea (not the one I was talking about up there, but it's important for where I am now) that I was suppressing, since I wanted to focus on my AU.

One evening, I decided to give that idea a chance and after I kept dreaming the entire night about it, I spent the entire morning putting it into words. The phase after that, I call the downfall. My problem is that I am a perfectionist. So I kept rewriting the chapters until I finally managed to break the story for myself. After ten attempts, an almost finished first chapter with thirty pages, almost a year time spent running in circles and a couple other reasons I finally managed to kind of let go. (I still think there could maybe the possibility that I might be able to tell that story, but for now it's best to leave it behind. I also kind of can't let entirely go. For example: I use the main character in my profile pic 😊)

After realizing that I needed to stop since it lead nowhere, I needed something new to be obsessed with. While writing, I also wrote down a couple of ideas for potential later characters. And as I reviewed what I had collected, I realized that two of them would fit quite well as a duo. First, I still wanted to include my old character as well, but I let go of that after another month.

Now, that I've explained my motivation, it's time to present my idea! (... why is this becoming so long? 😅)

I wanted to take the concept of the genocide run in another light. I mean sure, there were so many worlds out there, where people just killed for fun or they didn't have another choice. My first characters lean more into the category of it being an accident. Since this was the main concept I was going by, I called my AU 'Club of Genociders' (by now, I don't really like that name but it still fits and I have currently no better idea how to name it.)

After FINALLY having explained my main concept (and rambling too much 😂) I can tell that this little idea snowballed into such a huge story. I am still struggling to put it all into words, so I figured it's best to share what I have to avoid making the same mistakes again. but what's most important, I love the way everything is evolving. From the characters, over the storyline to major plot twists. I also realized that I keep adding new possible characters to the story (not sure if I'll include them all though. That really depends on how the story turns out.)

If you made it this far, thanks for reading 😊 (I really didn't want to make it that long 😅)

Jupp, we're getting there.

Still need to get a name for him...

Okay I made a sick sketch

It's tiny (like on the corner of my sketchbook) but I saw that pose and I was thinking like, okay this is EXACTLY how it looks when he uses his quirk so I scribbled down the pose and then drew him.

I want to make that in big. With markers. And maybe even make a background. And hang it on the wall to Kirishima and Denki.

And I was also thinking of something funny. The way he would describe how he fights with his quirk:

I can use my quirk as a weapon. Just think of it ... like a table. A table isn't dangerous, right? Then you accidentally drop something beneath it, try to pick it up and while getting back up you hit your head against the table. Although, it's just a table, it still hurts, right?

(I'm not sure if I'll allow him to reshape his forcefields but if I do, he would add:

Now imagine the table being a spikey pyramid...)

I figured I have trouble drawing the hair of one of my ocs and I figured out I have the same problem drawing the hair of Bakugou. That means, I'll keep drawing Bakugou until I figured out the secret to his hair and why when I draw it from imagination it doesn't look right.

Grumpy boi and drawing no. 1

Also: that's just copied from a sceencap.

and I even started a background but didn't finish it

I just watched the new trailer for pokemon z-a. I think pokemon got me again.

Also something funny I wanted to share: I still think about the days I first played pokemon. I think it must have been diamond or pearl and I picked Piplup as my starter. One day it suddenly evolved, I had no idea what was going on but as it evolved into Prinplup I was sad. I was thinking my cute Piplup just got ugly.

That's so funny thinking back to it.

also, I thought why not draw myself as pokemon trainer. little WIP:

You know, I have lately finished my first playthrough through Undertale Yellow... I cried. And since then, I had this idea for a cool drawing in my head but I got sidetracked.

Here, have a Starlo:

Just be careful that he doesn't shoot you 🙂

While I was going through old drawings...

I found this!

That is so stupid and so amazing at the same time. And I am impressed that it doesn't look too bad.

Dust belongs to @ask-dusttale

Horror belongs to Sour-Apple-Studios

Killer belongs to @rahafwabas

Nightmare belongs to @jokublog

(and I was also convinced that I can't get anything done, but this is proof that I can 😁)

Thank you ❤️

And done! So glad I choose pencils for the hair. Also picked one or two times the wrong color but I guess it's rarely noticable.

Tested my new markers 😀

Arm and his clothes were great, I don't like the way I rendered the hair. Guess I need to try out some other techniques.

But finally I have skintones and my characters don't look like oversaturated oranges.

Currently trying to figure out all of my characters of my story. And geez, I have too many XD (12 is many ...)

Tried that already before but now I'm trying to figure out thier faces first and after that what they're wearing.

Had a couple good sketches and thought this might be a good oportunity to ramble a bit about them.

So, first off, we have the main villain. (I originally called him Shadow but I am now thinking about a different name. Currently, I wrote down Lord Astaroth Ophidian but not sure if that stays) His color scheme is going to be red and black and what I love most about him is his hair. It goes over in black mist.

I actually haven't thought in detail over his powers but he can move through shadows. Due to his hair emitting shadows, he's able to teleport through different universes. Maybe I might include something like illusions but I need to make sure they're not too similar to another ability from my cast.

I'm not entirely sure about his motives yet, but he wants to overthrow the guardians and wants world domination (I guess for now, but this might also change, as I am trying to figure out the entire story again.)

(And he's currently smiling but he wouldn't hesitate to break your neck.)

(Fun Fact: I gave him the nickname Disney Princess because of his floaty hair XD Just imagine someone walking up to someone killing and manipulating others and saying, "ey, what's up, princess?" I could already imagine a specific character doing that ... and ending up dead XD)

(And another fun fact: I was thinking about to call the villains the 'high-five' that would be so funny XD)

And here we have my sweetie, Senti. She's the second guardian, the guardian of feelings.

Her concept is really interesting. As guardian of feelings, she's able to recognise others' emotions and even manipulate them. But due to being a child, she's not able to control her abilities properly. That means she is mostly affected by the emotions of the people she looks at and feels the same.

That also means that when someone shouts at her and is mad, she mirrors the emotion and even amplifies the one it came from to be even madder (I hope you write it like that XD)

Another cute part of the design, what you cannot see in the sketch is, that her eyes are originally greyish silver but change colour depending on the emotion she's feeling (either own or perceived)

I just watched the new trailer for pokemon z-a. I think pokemon got me again.
