@KevinReijnders

These are the two. The one on the right is lavender, the one on the left is flaming red, and those are ruffles at the bottom and glitter on the bodice. They're obviously not drawn to scale of Kyara's body type

I can make these work hehe.
Any kind of footwear that goes along with them?
(In case I feel like doing a full body)

@Leyelle I decided to go with my most recent oc Axel’s outfit. I thought she would look cute in it.

I decided the hairstyle was part of the outfit so I put it up and added a smattering of sparkles.

Bro- I forgot her shoe color 🥲

This is so cute! It makes her look even more like a doll (Alicia thinks she looks like an 18 inch doll) and yeah, hairstyles are often a part of the outfit, so I included Mrs moon's hair

Awww this looks like such a fun idea!!!?! I need to come back here when I finish my other trades lol XD

This is so cute I love it!

May I share your drawing of Alicia on my IG and tag you?

And yeah I love faces too XDDD. Faces and hair are my faves

@ArtGremlin me realizing that Mrs. Moon's purple suit gives Ian revolutionary war vibes. Apologies in advance for how bad I am at drawing poses.

I tied his hair because she loves tying her hair with ribbons

Bro is beautiful <3 I can totally imagine him wearing something like that if such a fashion existed where he lives.
Feel free to share any of my drawings I’ve made of your characters on IG ^^

Glad you like it XD

Isn't the story post modern? are they pre-revolutionary era (though I know it's not standard earth, so those events probably didn't happen)

Omggg that would be so cute 🥺 I wonder what modern outfit you would put her in! I need to finish two art trades before I can start tho but I’ll send you a ref of her when I’m ready :3 … I’m currently working on said art trades now because this sounds like so much fun

@beebutterbee You can send me a reference of Chariot now if you like, so I can take my time on it lol. I think I'll put her in one of Alicia's dresses because they're both squishy girls, so they'd probably suit her, but it might be interesting to see how she'd wear one of Essence's dresses since their builds are basically exact opposite (well, unless Chariot is tall, then they're just very different.)

To get really technical, their society has been cut off from the world since the 1400s or something. Whatever year it is, they aren’t really up to date on the latest trends :sweat_smile: Most of their fashion involves flowing robes, puffy sleeves, fancy boots, and pretty earrings.

So like, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue era XD?

Okay! Sounds good to me :slight_smile: When I get to I think I would be fun to draw Essence in this outfit from a sort of punk/alternative girlie I have lol She’s an alien :sparkles:

(Fun fact her story is on the same planet well um moon… Butter Bee takes place in but they are so vastly different lol)

Here is a Chariot ref btw! She isn’t super super short but compared to a lot of characters her being 5’ 4”/5’ 5” looks very short. Feel free to draw her in whichever one of your characters clothing ur vibing with most ^_^

@beebutterbee

this is a cool design, what's the story about, and what ethnicity is she?

XD, well that puts her 5-6 inches shorter than Essence, and 7-8 inches taller than Alicia

I'll have to get you a good reference pic and description then. Essence is the polar opposite of my Lise in almost everything lol.

are those markings on Chariot's cheeks blushies or tattoos?

The sort of made up city I made for the story Mey is in is very Turkish and Chinese/Hong Kong…ian? I guess you’d say Cantonese :thinking: anyways that’s the inspo… so her dad is based off of the Uyghur and her mom is based of someone of Chinese and Moroccan decent. So Mey is Black as well as, central and east Asian. But it’s scifi so there aren’t the actual names of real ethnicities in the story but I show a lot of cultural things tied to her still!

Sorry that was a lot of rambling lol I think my special interest in probably world cultures :sob:

It looks like Chariot is right in between everyone’s height xD I think she reads short because her girlfriend is 5’ 10 so like a half a foot taller than her lol And the circle swirls are just blush! I just have it stylized weird for butter bee lol

A ref pic of Essence would be good tho! :slight_smile:

Well, that’s probably closer to when the island was founded. The story takes place a couple hundred years later, but the culture has probably stagnated a lot, so kinda :laughing:

@beebutterbee

No worries lol. I like hearing about people's inspirations, and I ramble and write so many different people of different ethnicities too.

Essence is African-american of Sudanese descent, her little sister is biracial white American on her father's side, who I think is probably of Dutch and English descent. Essence's ML, Dominic, is Vietnamese, first gen American.

It seems like a very large portion of your OCs are multi-ethnic as well lol, which you probably have more of them than me, though I have quite a lot of multi-ethnic or biracial OCs as well.

Here is a reference of Essence + a bit more detail because my art is not good enough to make everything as clear as I'd like it to be rn lol:

Essence is 5'10, very thin (would probably be like a size 2 ) without nearly anything in the way of curves. She has long legs though, which, along with her hair, are the two traits she's proudest of lol.

And (though you can't tell from the picture) her complexion is canonically nearly literally black. (inspired by Nyakim Gatwech)

She has very sharply slanted, always slightly sleepy eyes. I have no idea why her eyes are slanted, because no one else in her family has them. At least as far as she knows.

I was thinking of long distance runners, and also celebs like Zendaya and Taylor Swift with her build lol. But the eyes still have no point of reference, I don't know where they come in.

there, now i've rambled and we're even lol
