Board Thread:OC Discussion/@comment-27363266-20160821185343

You may remember my old version of this, the Do's and Don't's of making a kisekae OC . Well, I decided to redo it, with some help from others!

                                                         ~Hairstyles~

Yes. Hairstyles. Every kisekae artist's worst nightmare. But don't worry, it's not as hard as it seems!

First, something I really want to say. Do NOT recolor the default hair on the models PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!  That's the worst thing you could ever do with a kisekae OC!! (aside from making them a bimbo or whatever they're called)

-Use extra hair pieces!! Don't be afraid to experiment with the extra hair pieces in the ahoge tab!!

-Don't use presets!! It's just as bad as a recolor!

-If needed, look at a reference pic!

-Try to use custom colors! The default palette is ugly. If needed, go to coolors.co for random (and pretty) color palettes!

-Use gradients!! It looks really nice!

-Mess around with the length and width of the hair! It can look cute if you adjust it enough!!

                                                           ~Bodies~

Oh good god where do I even start?? There are so many things about kisekae bodies on this wiki (and generally everywhere) that are pretty bad!

- Do NOT give your OCs giant breasts or private parts because it's fucking useless. (and it will probably lead to PM spam)

-Try not to give your OC a wide chest (anything over 50 is just no.) unless they're male or super mega tall. It looks very weird.

- Oh good lord dON'T MAKE YOUR OC SUPER DUPER OBESE!! Like some chubb is ok but don't make them unrealistically fat!! Don't use the 'fat/pregnate' waist type, it's ugly.

-Use the chin setting '4'. It looks good. The rest look weird.

~Facial Features~

Oh god I've seen so many people make huge mistakes with faces so I'm going to add a lot of stuff on this

-Don't use pupil setting 1.

-Don't use pupil setting 1.

-Don't use pupil setting 1.

-Don't use the default expression pLEASE!!! It's creepy-looking and lazy as fuck.

-Use face marks/scars to make the face look detailed!! If done right (which is actually easy lol) it can look amazing!!

-Add extra eye shine!! It's actually easy, my friend Rose showed me how to do it. Use hair pieces or hair clips by editting the code to make it small! It looks really cute!!

-Don't make the eye size the maximum size. It can look good if you're like making a cartoon style but just don't. Please.

~Posing~

I honestly don't know if this part's necessary but oh well.

-Don't use the default pose. It's lazy.

-Try to make the pose look natural. If needed, look at pose references!!

                                                 ~Clothing~

I always see people struggle with outfits here by using just the same ol' boring settings.

-Use belts to make outfits look nicer! Who needs the default settings, anyways?

-With the new feature in kisekae you can make 1 piece bathing suits into actual shirts, so use that! It actually looks really nice!

-Don't use clashing colors. Again, if you need colors, go to coolors.co

I think that just about covers everything!

If your kisekae looks like this, good job! You've successfully made a good OC!



If your OC looks like this uhh...Thing...Try to improve, okay?
