Do you have tips how to designe akuma OCs, please?🥹🦋

I can try! A good place to start would of course be what upset the character and caused the akumatization, because that will influence the design direction.

I’ll use an ancient akuma I designed back in 2019 based off me as an example lol (you can tell the arts old since it’s on paper lol)

It’s not the best but it’ll work for this lol, so the main motif is the cracking all across the body, the concept was based around this medical condition I have that causes uncontrollable upper body spasms. It’s not quite as bad now but at the time I couldn’t go more then five minutes without shaking and I routinely had to miss school and other events and it was very disruptive. So I figured that would definitely be cause for akumatization lol. The power that went along with it was that she could chanel the shaking to cause earthquakes, with the cracking across her body lessening the more earthquakes she caused.

If I were to revamp it I’d use a more inhuman skin colour like a bright pink to contrast the blue hair. Akumas always have very bright colours in their designs, and the more the merrier! Think Bubbler, Reflekta, Horrificator, they all have very saturated colour pallets and easily identifiable silhouettes.

So yeah lol the main things would be bright colour palette, distinct silhouette, and elements of the power worked into the design
