Dragon Share

Show me your human ocs as dragons, if you have any? I know it's a werid request, but I need some inspiration.

They are set in real life, so I've been trying too hard to make them realistic. I have many problems... designing their appearances and personalities is quite hard for me. I don't really know how to make them look distinct but normal, like someone you meet irl. And for their personalities... I don't know how to not make them cheesy. I'm still too young and ignorant, maybe I'll do better when I read more books.

@theTicket Pfft technically my (almost) whole lair are based from my human OCs, but then the thing is...mine is set in fantasy world so it's different case from yours ;w; as for reference, the first page of mine is actually based from these guys. If you need an in-depth comparison, I can chitchat about it through pms if you wanna hear more about this ^-^ Here's the said picture...but well it doesn't cover everyone in the first tab but hey! it covers the most haha [size=2]Yeah it's a wip picture oof[/size] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465724582142410782/619488505512591360/All_Frions_Demon_form.png[/img]

@theTicket I got a couple and I'm working on more! What helps is to condense the character into 3 colors that represent them and that you could recognize to be that character. I usually reserve their secondary for their hair color, because it usually colors the dragon's mane if they have one. Their primary doesnt have to be their skin color, it could be their clothing! Especially since sometimes skin color is hard to represent with the site's colors. I tend to side with the idea of it being their dragon representation rather than being super accurate. With Avian, while his clothing doesnt really exist in the site, his primary being obsidian works out so that it looks like his clothing (because the color dominates so much of his main clothing's design). With Eli I was able to make something closer to his actual clothing, including his brown jacket. Shoes are always a problem but tbh its not the focus so i dont worry about not being able to give him boots. Like with avian, sometimes the clothing can become the dragon's primary. All youd need to worry about then is accesories. Genes tbh i just choose what looks nice. If the character is more rugged, pick more rugged genes like animal based genes. If the dragon is more elegant pick more shiny and smooth genes. Usually you can push the colors a bit with certain genes to make them more accurate! Otherwise i just pick what i like and what seems to fit them via trial and error. Cant quite help you with personalities much. I do try to match the breed of dragon with their personality and appearance. Stoic, energetic, stern, friendly, etc. Large, small, bulky, muscular, lithe, etc. Outside of that its just who they are? I dont really distinguish from dragon personality and actual character's personality so that may be why.

I just kinda kept going lol. I wish you luck!

OCs of the COC TRPG, which means they all based on the character I have created or I am using in a game now. And, yes, all are human.

[columns]@theTicket I have a few of my OCs that I've made into dragons! Only a couple have art/info about them in their bios, though, and only one is technically human, so I'll just show him off. As for making OCs, for me, they just kind of happen- I start with a basic idea and throw them at scenarios to see what sticks for them. You can come up with all sorts of personality traits that you can think of, but until you really imagine them in action, it's hard to get a feel for their character. That can also help to imagine their appearance, once you start knowing how they interact with the world and what their personality is like. Just try to experiment, and have fun with it! There are no rules when it comes to OCs. For instance, Sydney here was originally made as a concept for an "inverted" version of another OC of mine- basically my other OC's personality, but completely flipped. He was originally made out to be a rich selfish brat, but he evolved over the years to have a lot of complex narratives surrounding his character. He puts on a facade of being haughty and uncaring, but he has a lot of self-hatred issues and identity crises hidden beneath that.

@theTicket I have quite a bunch of human/humanoid OCs with dragon counterparts, but all are from fantasy settings. I too go for the secondary as their hair color because of the mane, but sometimes the dragon I chose will change the originally intended human design a bit. Genes don't really matter for me, since I'm collecting gem gened dragons (with very few exceptions). All dragons have gjinkas in the profile. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=4984395] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/49844/4984395_350.png[/img] [/url] Thorill was set as an old battle hardend warrior, so I knew he'd get armor and a sword. Also a fatherly figure to another OC, so I kind of made him a friendly old guy. I wasn't sure about his skin color, so eventually the primary leaked into the design, when I had to decide on it for a commission. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=4962540] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/49626/4962540_350.png[/img] [/url] Xarilesia here is that "queen bee"/"high school queen (tm)". Again originally set in a fantasy setting, she loves jewerly and picking on other people. Her colors fir her skin and hair color. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=9538584] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/95386/9538584_350.png[/img] [/url] Ysalya is currently the only dragon with a human design, where the dragon was first and then her design was developed. Basically everything was taken from the dragon: her dark skin tone, hair and eyes. Yellowstarfire did an amazing job of designing her gjinka. Personality wise she's rather shy and quiet. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1292125] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/12922/1292125_350.png[/img] [/url] I bought her first, then named her after my old tauren druid from World of Warcraft and then ended up designing her gjinka design. Her primary is the skin color, secondary the clothes (dress), tert color is her apron and the apparel and accent I used are all reflected in her clothes and accessories as well. As for character creation: you can try picking 3 traits to describe a character. This little tool helped me a lot for dragons, where I didn't have a set character yet: [url=https://codepen.io/glubtier/full/JdvEdM/]click here[/url] My characters are full of tropes and clichés ;) You can have a "good guy": a valiant hero with a dark secret or just have him be the prince on a white horse every person dreams about. So the prince can be nice or very self absorbed, while the valiant hero could be really torn on the inside and is trying to do good because they want to attone for something. Characters always start out as something and then grow over time into something totally different. Xarilesia for instance: I came to love her. She's the adversary (opponent) to a very good and nice character that I designed and it was fun to write out someone who's mean for a change. I usually make good characters, because I like to be nice and don't like mean people. Character ispiration could come from people you admire, you like or don't like. Many of my characters are from my own stories and settings or pen and paper chaacters, so they have an ongoing story line, but others are "just there". They often started out as remembrance dragons from world of warcraft. Typical questions for chracter creation: 1. where does the character come from? - their upbringing may make a difference at how they react to other people or situations. 2. what do they like / dislike in general? - coffee vs. tea, vanilla ice cream vs. chocolate and so on 3. how do they view society? 4. what do they fear? 5. Any disabilites? They could have a hunch back or a bad leg or be blind in one eye. 6. how do they look? It's also a question of "What do you intend to do with the character once you've created them?"

*casually waits to see everyone else's OC dragons*

Do scries count? I like messing around with the scrying and dressing workshop to make my human OCs into dragons haha. (now if I could just make them real ;v;) The first is Ryven, a prince, and his info can be found here: [url]https://toyhou.se/2480200.ryven-arkana[/url] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=2620&skin=0&apparel=1749,2316,24053,24051,17889,17916,27766,30833,30814,30834,30815,19652,23030&xt=dressing.png[/img] Next is Jasper, an apprentice healer: [url]https://toyhou.se/2480181.jasper-pollux[/url] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=54338&skin=20344&apparel=11226,11200,16233,12903,21867,23083,24222,544,6035&xt=dressing.png[/img] And last is Aaron, a goatherd!

Pretty much all my characters are set in a fantasy setting of some sort, but hopefully they'll inspire you somehow? Good luck creating your characters! I'm not really great at giving advice but everyone above me has said some pretty good tips already!

Biladi loves pink and likes to see herself as an ice queen, so I had to buy this pretty girl when she went up for sale.
