Do you have a character or characters with no story?

[DiegoPalacios]

When i was younger and made games with no story, this was bound to happen

And also happens when i do the most random drawings.

Yes!!! Lately I think about the story first, but most of my work is about expressing feelings and emotions. So I draw them regularly but they are often showing the same emotion. Sometimes they are given a story later.

This is "Passion" in the original sense of the word, which is suffering.

I did. Her name was Amber Firefly. That was all I knew at first except that I wanted to put her into a story. In the end, she got her own story. Not one of my best, I think. But at least it's short.

I got a couple of OCs who I haven't decided their stories yet, just general personality vibes
I'm not too worried since they're from a story I haven't started yet, and also usually a character's wants/needs/challenges come to me sooner or later (or when in trouble, I listen to specific music for inspiration )

[Lilmonstart]

samee I also do think on making cameos of my characters in my comic! so they just aren´t left behind

[Lilmonstart]

Oh my its so beautiful! even tho the concept shows a really deep message I... love it
beautiful artwork!

[Lilmonstart]

Its fine sometimes characters really need time and indeed music is the best formula for creating stories and characters uvu

[Lilmonstart]

Looks interesting and will check it out when I have time!

[Lilmonstart]

Samee most of my characters were kind of recycled because some of them started being just crazy ideas and of course random drawings too xDx

[Lilmonstart]

Sometimes happens to me like idk how they are as a person

[Lilmonstart]

I understand like I´m even torturing myself by working on different plots too xd

[Lilmonstart]

Like sometimes you just engage with the character and want to give it a story right?
Oh and yeah I also count with that one character who just exists and will have the privilegue to have a cameo in a future story too uvu

[MeltingCORE]

Like one-off characters you never write a lot for? Yes! I make tons of them for conceptual art. I think most artists do this. It's relaxing and fun.

This is one of the newest ones I made! I'm calling her Skybright and she's a visual depiction of how it feels to be in love.

Angel Halo who is a depiction of the vibes I get when listening to vaporwave. (I actually made her for my vaporwave archive cover lol!)

And Spacemist who is a visual depiction of a dream I had in high school. Her glowing rings sent me into a dimension of grey mist that was in space. The dream never clarified but I think I was inside a nebulae!

And yes, I do give them cheesy names because I like it and my brain is partially stuck in my 00s art mode.

[noenoh]

yep, like the characters I created for my irl work. My bosses dont even want to bother to name them and I can't have even proper files for them! just like: girl01, girl02, salarymanA, boss1, etc.

En venganza diseñé esos personajes parecidos a mis jefes 8D así al menos tengo como relacionarlos con las ropas que les diseño xD

thats a step to giving them real stories/backstories etc

[Lilmonstart]

Interesting and lovely art!
happens to me that I do just an introduction for each characters wanna continue the story and suddenly my brain stops working lmao
as for names sometimes I search with meanings
or baby girl/boy names xDx
