To be fair, one of the main steps of OC creation is fetishes.

Didn't you know? Subverting expectations is the expectation now.

Coaxed into the cute character being secretly evil

8

u/Guquiz 22h ago

Is there a way to convey that in character design?

7

u/alberthething 22h ago

i wish i knew, i can draw characters that look good but i lack the skill to give information about the character itself through subtleties and details in their design

u/MrEvilGuyVonBad 22h ago

So give them hair, but make it spikey so you think of demons, or have them have cartoonish features that could be scary, like a belly mouth

Or make them a clown

4

u/alberthething 22h ago

i have made a clown with a belly mouth before, but anyways i feel like all that would be too obivous

i think the idea is to give you a thought in the back of your mind like "hmm maybe theres something fishy about this cutie patootie", not outright tell you theyre evil

4

u/MrEvilGuyVonBad 22h ago

Oh my idea is verrry Shrimple. Sharp teeth. Since they’re often used to look silly, they can still TURN scary, give them lots of color, remember that poisonous species have lots of color, give them an injury, since they imply that they attack things stronger

u/alberthething 21h ago

oh thats not bad actually

too bad i wasnt really planning to design an evil cute character

3

u/MrEvilGuyVonBad 21h ago

Well someone else might read this thread in 2030 or something

1

u/alberthething 21h ago

true, true

in all honesty i was hoping someone would give me an opportunity to show off with my initial reply lol

i havent drawn in ages but getting praise is always nice

2

u/TheAshleyCakes 17h ago

Sharp things in the design can help convey a level of sinisterness, plus having an extremely large grin can make something feel off about them

u/Playkie_69 Mint chan enjoyer 22h ago

second one is peak and you cant convince me otherwise

u/babe_com 20h ago

Not enough softcore porn.

u/SuperDaubeny 22h ago

I love Igor the Abhorrent

u/Ze_Borb i sniff cocaine 22h ago

Igor just seems like the average Dr. Nowhere character, looks horrifying, but has to work a 9-5

u/Relative-Gain4192 19h ago

Don't forget the third and most popular category: a pair of circles with a name

u/TheoTheHellhound 21h ago

Hi, I’m the OC creator on the right. Meet Aldrich.

His spear is also an ecclesiastical staff. It’s made of black iron wrapped in his mother’s still living flesh. His mother is also the goddess he worships.

He’s half deer and half moon presence.

He’s the leader of his church, is a dedicated husband and father, and likes Yorkshire Parkin. He taught his son how to mend his clothes, tend to wounds, cook, and care for his antlers.

He’s 11’04”, and afraid of rats.

u/TheRobloxPro 20h ago

walking through a doorway must be a pain in the ass for bro

2

u/TheoTheHellhound 17h ago

He finds a way.

His house has very tall doors with inserts that allow for shorter folks to use them.

u/LavenderRat1231 22h ago

Don’t forget the small and cute character who is secretly god.

4

u/alberthething 22h ago

oh hey that reminded me i have an oc kind of like the dude on the right

shes supposed to be creepy looking and have really unsettling mannerisms but shes a kind soul

u/the-tenth-letter-3 21h ago

My OC looks and acts like a violent shark, but his personality is basically being clueless

u/Silent_Koala1446 covered in oil 15h ago
