I like the characters as is, and seeing their concept art is always a great source of inspiration.

Seeing how characters could have turned out, as well as art that was scraped, makes me feel like doing my own art and using poses and themes I feel fit with the established canon.

you could probably draw harmony or even an oc in one of marie's scrapped outfits, that's much of the fun of concept art :)

I'm hoping to do something special outfits-wise for Marie Day. :+1:

I just chose "see the results" because none of the options fit how I come up with OCs.

I have 44 OCs across various fandoms (most of them are fully complete, some I have yet to make a drawing for). My sources of inspiration for my OCs has varied over time. It's mainly just ideas I think of that become OCs. Sometimes it's other people's OCs or other content that has inspired me to create whichever OC(s). Some of my Splatoon OCs are based on some of my other OCs (even if it's just that they share the same name or share a certain quality).
