toomanyfandomstowrite asked:

When designing trolls, do you hunt for specific constellations/alt zodiac symbols to match the character you already have in mind, or do you find the constellation/symbol first and then design the troll around it? (Personally I was always the latter~)

Since I usually make characters w/in the hvswp universe, i usually work with the extended zodiac signs! It depends how much I've already conceptually written out for the character (that I at least know enough to pick a lunar sway + aspect), but picking a sign usually comes later for me.

Because most characters I make are often made to fulfill a certain function w/in the story/world, I focus on making the character design readable first (their job, personality, etc. comes through). Though, sometimes having a sign in mind can help give ideas to work shape languages around too, so it's fun consider!

my VERY FIRST fantroll..... it kinda depends.

And by that, I mean there was a point in time when i was Very Young and didn't understand what it meant to make OCs other than you just make a design and never look at it again LOL.

My literal First Fantroll would be uhhhhh..... (scrolling through my files to see the oldest image i have in my Homestuck folder) whoever THIS guy is

when it comes to OCs, there's something so nice abt making smth that rly hits close to home. You never rly think abt it when it comes to the media you watch/read feeling just a lil disconnected to you, until you've rly invested into smth that puts all the things that feel so familiar to you that it finally rings to you and think, whoa.... feels just like home

#me making OCs that ring familiar to my childhood and i cant help but feel so fond towards it#like a nostalgia that only you can uniquely understand

i think it's so funny to remember Jishen is Hunter's deadbeat dad in another universe.

but even Funnier to consider that human!Jishen is just him without depression

#jishen heyang#kim's art#kim's original stuff#had a dawning realization earlier today that human!jishen would be more sociable and charismatic than his troll counterpart#and it was such a fked up visual i had to draw it. feels cursed. i've never seen this man smile#the only time he can and ever will smile is where he is not a burgundy on alt*rnia LOL#let it be known any alternate version of jishen is just a jackass AKLSJDA

if u see a sudden onslaught of rgg fanart from me just know. i am crazy. LMFAO

#mostly of y7 rn tho bc ichi has me in a vice grip#you ever see a piece of media you just know once you've finally gotten into it you'd be a dead sucker for it#that's essentially been me for the past handful of yrs putting off playing the rgg games and the time has finally come ALKJDSA help
