Characters that inspired your ocs!

What other characters inspired your character? What about them inspired them? For my oc Strawberry Cheesecake here, i think its clear which ones inspired her design but some of them are much more personality-based. (I wonder if saying Rose Quartz inspired your character is a massive spoiler lol--this is one is more of a design inspiration than personality)

Penny dreadful is inspired by Wednesday Addams.

Mary Rose is literally just Rosemary, from Rosemary’s baby, in the same way Jinx is Harley quinn.

Carter dreadful is inspired by the concept of a stepford wife.

Scratch is inspired by characters like Zuko.

Nobody is inspired by characters like tracer and sonic.

My OC Thallios was inspired by Prince Arslan (Arslan Senki) and Ashura (RG Veda)

I guess The Silver Sorcerer looks a bit like Sephiroth

slaps Suen this kid can fit so many character inspirations and references in her.
Okay, jokes aside, I’d say her biggest inspirations character-wise were definitely Usagi Tsukino, Bob from Shadow Over Innsmouth and Ponyo from the movie of the same name. Those are far from the only ones, but they’re the most obvious.
If we’re being honest though, just about any inconsequential detail of hers not meant to just be creepy or an allusion to an obscure deep sea fish is probably a reference to something else, even her being fourteen was chosen to be a little nod to her inspirations, as it’s both a multiple of seven which is important for plot reasons, and the same age as Usagi was at the start of Sailor Moon.

Visually however.. Absolutely none that I can put my finger on, lol.

I haven't actually made any "official illustrations" for my novel (I will make one, eventually), but I like to magine the main female character, Celestine Alcott, looking somewhat similar to Si Mankal, which is a character from the rhythm game I'm currently playing called Gadvia:

Her personality is completely different though. I deliberately made it the opposite of the expected archetype from the appearance.

My two male leads' designs were inspired by Cloud Strife from FF7 and Cesare from "Sister, I'm The Queen In This Life" manhwa

Believe it or not, Daecon:

…was inspired by Goliath from Gargoyles. I wanted him to be more human, but the muscular winged hominid concept came from this dude:

All if the characters in Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days were based on real people. Wild Nights is a true story.

For the Last Train to Gnashville:

Olah and Red were inspired by Ginger and Rocky from Chicken Run

Changed his name just to Red, cause "Rooky" was way too close XD!

As for Friar Chicken, uh...
These mascots...

inspired the Tryon Family:

The inspiration is so clear with these ones! Also your art style is so cool

Chronomel 2024-09-01 02:21:58 UTC #12

A character named "Penny dreadful" being inspired by Wednesday makes alot of sense lol. It's a cool name!

Chronomel 2024-09-01 02:23:57 UTC #13

Looks like your character inspirations are also artstyle inspirations. Although your style is still very distinct and nice!

Chronomel 2024-09-01 02:26:14 UTC #14

Your characters doesn't look at all like either of them but I can still see the inspiration somehow

I made charts lol.

Hah well my comic is about influencers/content creators, and they're all semi-based off real creators/groups of creators (some of which are no longer in public favor) so just a few:

Avery is based of vlog/commentary YouTubers...unfortunately based off David Dobrik and Cody Ko (okay listen the character was written YEARS ago)

Marilyn not based off anyone particular but a general Gen Z beauty influencer

India based off Enya Umanzor (as a kind of indie fashion and internet personality)

Many more but I'll leave it at that...maybe you can try to guess who the characters are based off of as they appear in my comic, Blood Soda !

My main character Luca Vincenzo preference for suits was inspired by Sanji since he is a womanizer as well.

Gustavo Escobar is heavily inspired by Doflamingo in design as well

thepenmonster 2024-09-01 16:09:27 UTC #19

More specifically: I was inspired to avoid all of these.

Leyelle 2024-09-02 16:57:50 UTC #20

Marilyn Monroe is not a character but she inspired Mara's hair

Prince Char inspired giving Christopher George a traditionally masculine prince-like appearance

and I'm suspicious that Nick Wild may have subtly inspired me in Chili's design. Maybe a bit of Hobbes from "Calvin and Hobbes" too
