Ocs inspired by crushes?

@pjthetoonaddict's perfect man

Firstly...how dare you.

Secondly, did you draw this? If so, it's super well done.

[KevinReijnders]

How dare I? I dare because it is the truth 🤣

And no I didn't haha. Pulled this from google, don't think I'm quite at that level just yet.
(Though I'm also not that far off either, if I do say so myself )

Riley from Rigamarole basically looks like every kind of in-person guy I had a crush on when I was younger. White teenage boy with shortish curly hair. The more emo the better lol (okay, not really, but eyeliner and nail polish are a go.)

Sugar Land, from my comic with the same name, is based on someone I had a crush on. Tho, I changed his appearance so it’s less creepy. But he was short, thin, and androgynous.

On another hand…for my character Zombra Blueberry, he was originally supposed to be a man with a skin condition that made him look like a raisin, purple and wrinkled. However, over the years, he sort of evolved into a DILF.

I don't think it's creepy to base a character on a crush lol. Just so long as you know, don't make it an over-the-top self-insert fan-fiction. Ig basically so long as it's inspired by, rather than actually just writing the person into your story.

[NickRowler]

I try to avoid making characters based off of real people. Sugar is definitely inspired but different enough that I doubt anyone would figure out who it is.

[Leyelle]

well everyone works differently. I don't know how many characters I would say I have based on real people, but I know I have a few in a few stories.

[NickRowler]

I do have another character from my high school days called Marshmallow who was based off my crush at the time. But I am not sure if I am going to add him into my comic.

[skidiggy]

I don't have any that are based off of specific crushes, but a fair amount of my favorite traits are spread out among the cast of Apparent Secrets. The same thing goes for things I don't like; a little bit of everything gets mixed in. I find that it keeps me from getting hung up on one character over another, especially when it comes to male leads and coworkers/friends.

[Leyelle]

I like so many of my characters, so this isn't a problem for me. most of them have traits I consider beautiful woven in even if they aren't based on crushes XD. even the evil ones

[Leyelle]

But I am not sure if I am going to add him into my comic.

it could be interesting i think to base characters off of real people, but ofc, only if you thinks it suits your story and writing style XD

I am super concerned about using someone's likeness if they did not consent to it. Just like I would dislike if someone did that to me.

Marshmellow is a little different because I was trying to design a dad for my OC and I made him look like my crush despite at the time, my crush was a teenager. Marshmellow is much older than the real person. So the two don't have much parallels outside of having the same race and wearing glasses.

Oh no, not to make the real person a character in your story, I was just saying to inspire them off of a real person. I think most people do that to some extent

[Vikthetoonaddict]

Okay...I think now may be a good time to inform you guys that I am not only a Terrifier fan, but I recently dressed up as Art and stayed in character for a convention.

[Leyelle]

Who is Art lol, I have zero idea

[Vikthetoonaddict]

sigh...PJ is never beating the allegations.

[Leyelle]

Wait - what allegations? now I'm more lost

[Vikthetoonaddict]

A clown from a BRUTAL horror movie. Don't watch it unless you've got the stomach for it.

[Vikthetoonaddict]

the clownloving allegations.

Clownfucker for the vulgar minded.
