I unsurprisingly had difficulty deciding what to draw. In the end, I just decided to draw a bird character, since I’ve been exposed to so many cute bird characters thanks to Rogey, it made me want to branch out. The problem with making new OCs is developing connections to them. If you don’t develop an emotional connection with an OC, they are nothing more than just pixels on a screen with no soul, and you have no motivation to draw them.

I’m actually like this with many of my OCs. The only OCs I feel a connection with are Leon, Parker, Nixie and partially Takoda. I have produced some good pics and stories with a bunch of my other characters, but whenever I try working with them, it feels empty, like I’m forcing myself to work with them.

I actually encountered this problem when I was attempting to write stories based on the mecha I designed, as I realized I didn’t feel as strongly for the characters as the ones in my Novel. Embarrassingly, I can’t recall how I was able to develop strong bonds to my novel characters. Was it the immense amount of time and development they went through?

No matter, I’m still unsure about what the hell I should do with myself. Enjoy the drawing of my take on an anthro Mockingbird. I’ve also developed a strong liking to Troodons (I can’t stop imagining Agumonofalchemy as one), so I drew one as well, using a scale texture I made following a tutorial.
