This blog will combine three things I love dearly: writing, talking about writing, and aesthetics. So if you have an amazing OC for which you crave an aesthetic moodboard or Instagram page - tell me all about them, and I will make you one! After all, every writer needs fanart.

Questions About Creating Your OCs
‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.
What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?
Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?
How did you choose their name?
In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?
Is there any significance behind their hair color?
Is there any significance behind their eye color?
Is there any significance behind their height?
What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?
Are they based off of you, in some way?
If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person?
Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?
What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?
If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?
What is something about your OC can make you laugh?
What is something about your OC can make you cry?
Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?
What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
What is your favorite fact about your OC?
how do you make your mood boards?
Hey friend, thank you for the question! It’s quite a process, actually. If I make a moodboard for a request, I start out with making a clear list of the information I have, together with ideas for colors and such.Then, I go to tumblr/google/pinterest and just ‘look around‘. Sometimes I search for specific quotes or images, sometimes I simply look up things like ‘blue aesthetic‘, to gather inspiration. I try to make combinations of clear-cut ‘object-images‘ (like: if an OC always wears trench coats or has a loyal dog, I will look up pictures of those), and images that are more focused on the personality of the OC.Browsing like that, I collect way to many images. When I think I have enough, I have a critical look at my pictures and my first list, and decide if I am missing an important aspect of the character. If possible, I try to have at least one image for each aspect/point on the list. When I think I have enough, I start combining things. I simply put together pictures in Paint, try different sizes and combinations. It is easy to see which set-ups look pleasing and which don’t. I shift around images till I have reached a balance in colors that I like. Sometimes I cannot use pictures I really like, because they do not fit the overall scheme.I hope this is not too much/too vague. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
