redesigning some of my old OC's!! ☆ art + commentary

it’s always 7th grade…

Honestly, I relate to using characters as escapism. Also I love your story concept so far. And I was thinking personally Bill is a fine name. I think he may need a last name and I thought Lepidoptera or something like that. It's the scientific name for moths and you said he was on the moth side so I'd just thought I fit.

The way that character went from a boy in a blue hoodie to a full grown wizard looking hottie is crazy. He grew with you

Maybe William would be a good name replacement for him, since Bill is the nickname for it. Plus it sounds sophisticated, and it wouldn't undermine anything you might've made with his old name. As someone who also has an outlandish amount of old OCs, it definitely isn't easy readjusting to their new names. Love the redesigns btw!

NEW JOUUSTA UPLOAD LETS GO!??! I’m so hyped! I hope school has been going good for you, remember to take breaks💗

Some cool names for Bill: Asante (Thanks) Asad (Lion) Sailom (Windmill) Saifah (Clear Sky) Prince (First Born) Wayland (Brave) Jakobi (star) Jakodi (Descendent of the helpful one) Gray (The color) Anthony (priceless one) Bamako (First Born)

I feel like the name Sol could work for Bill sense it's latin for sun and that could give him some angst. I would also like to suggest some names that I like: Luca, Kendrick, and Garret!

PLEASE keep redesigning your characters with vids like this! I've been starved for it bc listening to other artists' creative process is my favourite thing to do. Its even better when its abt ocs for stuff they make, it always an interesting time😭

I think Koa is a good name for Bill :D and I really love the redesigns ☺️

Ah yes, that moment of epiphany when you write or draw something and suddenly lore implications start popping up. I adore it when that happens. It's so much fun seeing it happen to someone else.

I won’t even lie, just a video with lore dumping for any and all stories in your brain would be so fun to watch,,, but I know redesigns can take a lot of work and it shows!! This was awesome

Hi, okay so I haven't made a comment in like a year so I'm a little rusty, but I just wanted to say that I love your art and style so much! I draw while listening to your videos, and PLEASE keep redesigning characters!! As a young artist you have no idea how amazing it is to see someone improve from their old style to the things you can make now, it keeps me motivated and inspired to make more characters, please keep doing what you're doing! Good luck with college and have a wonderful day! :D

EVERYBODY WAKE UP JOUUSTA POSTED!!! I love your new sona design the outfit is so groovy :00

wow these characters are awesome, I particularly love the way you draw hair 😍

I heavily recommend looking at Jojo's outfit designs and THEIR inspirations. Seeing how they manage detail and creative design without being overwhelming. And then creating maybe a pinterest board and finding similar outfits! The sun side is giving me regal/noble vibes while the moths give me cottage-ish villagers. I'm excited to see what they story is about!! <33 :DD

HI AGAIN, JO !!!!!! Mandatory comment on your video time !!!!! I hope college has been going well for you !!! Seeing your art again is an absolute joy !! Hearing more about your characters and story make me so excited to see where it goes !!! It’s also made me super excited to continue to work on my story and characters, which also happens to be a fantasy sort of story too lol. Also, I love your persona’s new design, I think I’m gonna have to draw it here soon ehehehe …… Also, name ideas for Bill … I’ll be absolutely ecstatic if I can help with a name lol … what about Benson ?? And maybe people close to him could call him Ben ??
