I'm thinking that in the current days, as illustrator, we need to have at least our own 1 OC who will depict as us in the public.
I used the idea of my old OC that I drew when I was young.
It's the image of 9 years ago, my artstyle is change so much so I redraw it.
Some of my old OC pic β
I put a lot of my fetish in this OC because not just be an avatar of me but as depict of my personality too.
The reason I make my OC has Purple hair because at that time, I addicted to the game called "Grand Chase" so much. I loved to play a character called Arme who is a mage with purple hair.
(The Original Grand Chase Game is already closed but there is Grand Chase M so you can look for it if you want)
