“May I please draw your OC?”

Reblog this message if you encourage anyone that wants to draw your OC to do so. No need to ask for permission in advance.

Go for it. Draw my OC. If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts. Go to town on it.

You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.

Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.

#👀#there are many ocs I want to draw #<- never draws anymore; has less time than ever for the next few months #I'll try!! been wanting to sketch mine too #just in case anyone wants to do this 👀👀

I wanted to see if I could draw Liko as a Gen 1 character! 💙

Instead of just changing the art style, I tried following the trends of the era to create a whole new design that looked believable for the time. For example, her outfit is based on Squirtle instead of Oshawott in this concept. :>

why write a story if no one's going to read it?

Sometimes you don't want to share a story with others. Sometimes you do want to share it, but no one clicks on the title. So why bother writing it down if the only person you can guarantee will read it is you?

You need to get it out of your head. It just keeps replaying in your imagination on a loop and the only way to get it unstuck is to pin it down on paper.

You need to figure out what the story is. You have a lot of disjointed scenes or lines that you know are connected but you can't quite figure out how.

There's something in the story that's important to you, and you don't want to lose that thing by forgetting it. Future you might find that thing important too.

You want to be able to go back to the story again and again. Maybe to make adjustments over time. Maybe just to revisit a story that gives you the emotional release you need in that moment.

You want to be able to use text-to-speech to read the story aloud to you. Maybe it's a bedtime story. Maybe it's keeping you company while you do errands and chores.

You want to find out whether you can write a story (because not everyone can).

You want to be able to have almost the same story, but a little bit different, and you want to have it 15 times with slight variations. Then you can go through your own personal menu picking exactly the combination of beats that will satisfy you most on this reading.

You enjoy the process of finding just the right words or phrases or scenes to paint the pictures you want to shape the scene.

You want to find the exact rhythm and syllables and structure to make a sentence really sing.

You don't really have any particular reason, but you know you want to write that story down.

#many of these

To keep myself awake at work today I started a post with thoughts about my Gen 9 girls, it was more like meta backstory on why I created them, what I wanted to do with them, how I can add in my Gen 8 girl who never got a story... and then it got a little too personal so I saved the draft to work on when I wasn't supposed to be doing my job, only tumblr mobile published it instead so I quickly made it private 🙃

The takeaway is that I finally accepted that the blatant self insert not a good character and I should rework her if I want to accomplish anything with her. And that maybe I'm out of ideas, I already have plenty of girls begging me to write them and who knows if they're good and interesting characters either, but they've been with me longer so I think so.

Also I should not make tumblr posts on 5 hours of sleep,,
