time to ruin everything...
HAHA honestly?? I don't know I just love making characters so I go hogwild... lemme think
usually they start with some vague idea and it snowballs... like hmm... my beach monster boys were literally just from me going "wouldn't it be funny if there was a vampire who wasn't elegant at ALL and just called himself 'a dracula'..." and I just started goofing off and ended up there HAHA
I usually go through a couple concepts as Im drawing before I land on something I like tho...
pinterest moodboards help me get a feel for a character too o: I GUESS LIKE YEAH, deciding on an aesthetic and personality kinda drive the rest of the design home easy
as for coming up with personality I guess I always like to imagine how they would interact with the world/other people? and build around that
also a good way to build characters after making them is to find like, lil oc questionnaires and stuff like that? even some of the really silly ones make you stop and think like "hmm... I dont know, what kind of fruit WOULD they be??? I'll have to dive deeper into them-"
