Don’t be worried about that! I still like parts of the DSMP series, and follow a few artists on tumblr because their art is gorgeous. If you still have a passion for it and want to make your own content, go ahead and do it just for yourself Fair enough there are definitely people on the internet who are just deliberately rude or assume that liking “bad” media makes you a bad person, or you condone harmful actions of the creators/fans (obviously it doesn’t, and it’s why having media literacy skills are so important)
This video made me try to remember if I ever had a persona, it led to me digging up a memory of when I was in the undertale fandom amino, I used to make comics with gacha were the chars were just me with various assets to pretend they were from different aus and IT WAS SO WEIRD
This reminds me of crumb/cuptoast!! They're a digital artist who streams and occasionally plays games too! (or used to be…not sure I've not watched them in a while)
Roblox to gacha to irl oc pipeline fr. I have only a handful of ocs that haven’t spawned out of some kind of dress up mechanic (including an item ghost character) like my current persona. But I lover her, she taught me my love of bugs and orange, and I wouldn’t have my corner of online friends without her!
DIDNT EVEN REALISE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS WHEN I WAS MAKING MY PERSONA, I LITEARLLY HAD THE SAME DILEMA AS YOU WHERE I TOOK IT TOO SERIOUSLYYY--- If i had seen this video a few months ago or a year ago it wouldve helped me out so much lolll This video was amazing and had some amazing advice tyyytyt
The amount of personas i contain is uncountable, everytime i would have a falling out with them. But now my current sona im pretty happy with, he still needs some work but i love him sm
7:23 Yeah, that's a mood. I made a Minecraft sona sometime around Summer 2020 and while I adore her, she's not 'me'; which I think comes from me recycling her for a DnD character and trying to give her a story/lore, both for DnD and her original purpose as a Minecraft character. 8:08 I also have a 'silly' sona that I use for ~shenanigans~, i.e. drawing her and my friend's sona interacting. like whacking each other with Animal Crossing bug nets :3 or chewing on each other's arms >:3
Every oc I have made has a little bit of something I personally have or wish to have and I didn’t realize that until later so they are all personal to me and I could use them as a persona or just as a oc
no stop i remember when i had a dsmp phase and i also had my sona based on sad-ist 😭😭 she had a mask that had spider eyes and wore a purple turtle neck with grey sweat pants, i ended up giving her so much lore that she ended up turning into an oc and not the sona that i wanted her to be. She had a good concept that i think i can fix it if i worked on it but i dont want to cause she reminds me of those times 💀
Haven’t watched the full video yet, but I really want to say- It’s okay to be cringe and feel embarrassed, but don’t put yourself down like that, it’s a harmful mentality that can lead to just general self hate. You enjoyed that stuff before, and even if you don’t now, you don’t have to put yourself down to seem less cringe to others. It can kill your passion for things you like now- because you’re worried about being weird or cringe. It’s growth that we all go through, and you don’t have to hate yourself for it.
Honestly, being in the dream/dreamsmp community in the past is relatable af lmao The reason I was a satyr for so long is half cus people drew tubbo as one lmao
I drew my first persona a while ago, and I literally just drew my favourite things to draw when it comes to character design (one big eye, the body and hair being like one thing, many colours, a long stem + leaf on the head, that stuff) and then just gave it my name and poof sona ✨✨
this was something i realized hut couldnt put into words. i dont really have a persona but when i draw myself i tend to just draw a blob humanoid with a salamander's tail. anyeays relatable
Always a joy seeing your videos :3c I've been watching on my phone with a different account but my phones dead so here we are :P I def had a gacha phase too, but it was way back in gacha studio. It was kinda fun at the time for my lil child self, and yeah I'm not planning to change my persona yet but it does help! I used to build up lore and such for my persona she just ended up being her own character, my current ones the only one that stuck, also the one who's just straight up silly :3
Oh i didn’t realise how new your channel was until I checked your videos, this is really well done! I still struggle a lot with making a persona I connect to but I think some of the things you said might actually help a bit, thank you! Hope your having a good day or night!
10:04 I have a very silly issue. Yours was that: serious didn't work because it was too much, normal didn't work because its just you, and it was solved by goofiness. But my problem is weird where, I always go with normal because I just genuinely love myself. And trying to add anything at all is tricky because I've already made myself the easily recognizable, unique person. But then what do I even add?! I almost wonder if I've already turned myself into a persona of myself, and that's where my issue is. I love clothes and hair and express my over the top aspects of myself in my appearance already. But if there was anything better to use to show the world something about me, it would already be on me. It's such a weird problem.
I was just thinking that "wait, this just sounds like someone's yapping session instead of any tutorial" AND THENYOU CONFIRMED IT! This is the way I should be taught
Yes!! I also went through a bunch of personas before landing on my little carton box persona that I have has for like 3 years now and learned that I just wanted a silly little thing to draw when im bored in different outfits.
The way this video made me realise the flaws with my whole trying to draw. I made a quick persona and i managed to make something i liked in like... 3 minutes thanks to you
What helped me was to make my Sona have characteristics that I like, that it is easy to draw and does not have many details (since it is usually easy to forget them). I also did not put a story since it is like my moldable dough (Sorry if it is not written well, I use a translator since my English is bad)
I've recently decided to make my persona a sexy ghost girl- Because sometimes I feel as though I'm mentally invisible to those around me. I also made her because I just wanted to be able to float around and be sexy. I also have a lot of experience with ghosts so I thought it'd be fitting.
THANK YOU THIS WAS LITERALLY THE ADVICE I NEEDED i realized i was loosing connections with my personas 😭 my first persona was this goofy little half angel half demon and i lost connection, now it is an eggplant, and this was especially what I needed because now i know why ive been feeling less like my persona as well 😭 im taking it too seriously
honestly that's amazing advice. i used to have serious sonas and it was TORTUREEE, now my sona is a small silly little guy and i've never felt more free
This was actually really helpful for me! I came to the realization that I just need to draw her in a silly art style and then it became me! So thanks! I hope you have a lovely day
For a while, i had a lot of trouble making a persona to represent myself. I technically already had one, but they weren’t an accurate representation of myself in any way. After a while of trying to come up with something, and failing miserably, i went and took a look at how i usually draw myself for inspiration. I’ve always drawn myself with certain details, like short brown hair and red eyes. So i just took those traits, added a few things I thought looked cool, made the design consistent, and suddenly i had a persona that more accurately represented me. Im still gonna use my previous persona as a mascot for my art, but with an updated design that better reflects me.
It took me a very long time to design my persona after discontinuing one of my ocs who served as a persona, but all i did was listen to one song, draw something to go with it, and boom!!! Character in the drawing became my official persona after i realized that they represent me more than any oc i created!! :D
I was thinking about Making a Wrathful Poltergeist-Kitsune Hybrid for my Persona, it makes sense for me cause Growing up I had alot of Paranormal Experiences and On top of that I tend to Hold Grudges when Angered so Letting go is a Really hard thing for me and then I love Japanese Yokai stories and most of my Favs involve the Nine tail fox or Kitsune Shapeshifter just Always Seemed a Fun Ability but I Also I tend to Get Bored with just one choice or there are too many good choices and I can't choose one.
Honestly i used to keep my persona’s accurate to how I look. I cut my hair so I had to update my gacha icon. Issue is that I figured the new outfit I made was… pretty much ‘beginner’ in my opinion. So I changed it and now the only changes she goes trough is clothes. Sometimes her hair is more poofy or spiky, but that’s it.
I relate to this so bad 😭😭 Some time ago made a cool looking siren sona with a few allusions to my irl self and it didn't work at all, she's now her own separate character
my snom "obsession" used to be a joke, but now for every other website, i have a anthro frosmoth pfp and i proudly declare my love of snom. not sure when i started making moth ladies for my pfps, but now it is only a frosmoth. just feels right somehow.
i appreciate this a lot! i’m currently battling art black that has been ongoing for years and i hope that doing little things like refining my persona can bring my motivation back, so thank you for the advice!
The "I could draw this in 10 minutes" is so relatable. I liked making my personas so detailed, to the point I wouldn't have the motivation to draw it all! Now I just have a lil deer girl as my sona, who I can easily draw in minutes. Even though I'm lazy I never lose motivation to draw her
this is actually so relatable because i tried so hard to have ocs and stuff like that till i decided to just, make a goofy character to doodle in clase, with a dumb cliche name i also always struggled, i still do, to have a persona, just now that im like a month from being 18 im starting to come to terms with what i want to represent myself with, i dont have a channel to upload stuff and maybe maybe just maybe i will upload my draws somewhere, but its mostly for my friends to draw me, so, i always wanted it to represent me, but instead of just doing who i am with a goofy thing that reminds people of me, i always tried to make it complex, a perfect impossible character that looked stright out of a pretentious fantasy isekai, adding stuff, removings stuff, trying to make it look almost like one of those collages from pinterest, when all this time, i have always been just a rat. i always complain about how much i hate minimalism and how stuff should be more complex, but sometimes less IS better, because if you look like conffetti in a room full of conffeti, then it will be very hard to spot you ig idk lol
I realized recently that whenever I depict myself, instead of drawing my sona I end up drawing a scuffed version of myself. And I realized it was because I gave my sona too much lore, she became her own character rather than a representation of me. I'm currently making a new sona, and she's not gonna get any lore, she's just gonna be me :]
Omg, I did the same! :D there was a sona I made that was meant to exist to represent me, but I started giving her lore. She's sort of her own character now, even though she's still like me in some ways Because of that, I also made one that has no lore :] I wish you the best with making yours!
as a person who has my persona as a BIG part of my identity, I loved this video! keep up the good art and vids! i loved listening to u talk about the history of ur personas :DD
How I made my persona: I wanted a vtuber model, not done making it. Could not decide on an animal. I own like a week's worth of pirate clothes IRL and thought "might as well be a pirate:." And then I drew myself as a pirate in my favorite patterns and colors. I at no point have invented a story for her because its like.. a selfsona. Always figured the difference was that a selfsona was a self insert in art but way cooler. I have a few OC's and honestly.. I struggle making cool stories for them if there isn't supplemental content outside of just drawing that I am using them for.
the persona I want is my own spin on the simplicity of Ice Cream Sandwich's persona, but I replace the weird hair thing with something that's both unique and looks good
IT WAS FUN LISTENING TO YOUR EXPERIENCE AND THE POOKIES’ IN THE COMMENTS SO THX YALL also I’m still figuring my persona out but it has been looking almost just like me for like since I started drawing even if I like drawing my sona self in different aspects (like alien and such) SO I STILL NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT BUT I STILL FEEL HAPPY SOMEWAY SO
Literally right after I made my persona lol (my first persona was also a gacha character 😭), the dream fanart thing is so funny to me haha, loved the video! (In case you're confused, I was the 100th subscriber, I just got a new account 😊)
I think this video found me. I’ve been contemplating for the past 2 weeks now drawing my new persona character. Mine used to be a furry humanoid bunny girl that looked like me. But I stopped resonating with her. I would love to restart and make a new one! A persona who looks like me, easy to draw, has my sense of style, and maybe the same personality too. Thank you for the tips!
I really enjoyed your video and have learned a lot about myself while watching it. I was also taking my sona wayyy too seriously and that's the reason why I wasn't able to connect with anything I was trying to put on paper. That makes me want to try something and I will keep your video in mind while I do so! Thank you!
i really love this because as someone who changes how my "sona" looks quite a bit, i always make it look silly and cute!! i love your sona, she is adorable :3! i think it wopuld be a silly idea for halloween to make the teeth more fang-like on her.
This was so cooll!! My current vtubesona is based off my art sona (I prefer to keep them separate) and is a cyborg from a post-apocalyptic alternate universe!!! I found this really helpful and interesting, even if I've already got my sonas and love them, because I could point out things I did similarly or differently, and it's super interesting to me!
as someone who just came up with a sona i liked a couple days ago, i relate to your journey SO much haha :‘D i was frustrated with my attempts for so so long cause i was overthinking it WAY too much
I DIDNT LOOK AT HOW MANY SUBSCRIBERS YOU HAVE AND YOU HAVE WAY LESS THAN I THOUGHT 😭😭😭 this video feels high quality and it would be posted by some really big content creator but NO!! its this amazing youtuber with 1,7k subscribers (make it 1,7 million guys)
Keep up the great work ! Thanks for the advice I like the idea on either taking it a silly way or in a serious way. It will inspire any future persona I will try and design.
Had to know that I wasn’t the only one with a dream phase and made a persona with a dream mask 😭 I’m hoping to create a persona that really fits me and I had the same experience when creating my old OCs. As cool as they were they were never really me. They all represent a part of me but were so different! I’m definitely going to try and go down a silly route with my next persona!! :DD
Lesson of the Day: Don't take your doodles seriously. I love it. I've been trying to be more patient with my art lately, and I've learned when you don't take them so seriously it takes off a lot of the pressure of coming up with ideas. That, and you leave room for it to turn into something a bit more serious later if that's what you'd like! Thanks for sharing such a cute/clever design and your thought process with all the ones you've made so far :D
I very much had the same experience as you with making super detailed sonas and then eventually landing on a goofy, simple one haha! My sona is a really silly, doodly version of myself who is extra expressive and I just call them Doodle (very creative ik)
..theres no actual help on how to make a personal persona??? this is just a story of how you made your personas. i dont get the point of naming the video like that when thats not what it is /nm(please don't delete my comment, i'm not hating.)
- If you struggle connecting to your persona, don't take it too serious, you can make it goofy - If you are on the more lazy side, you don't even have to make them colorful. Limited color palletes are a godsend - Take one aspect and make that the "focus". For her, she wanted teeth to be the main aspect, and it grew into her persona - Don't try to overcomplicate the persona with lore that isn't you since it may cause you to disconnect to them That's what I got from this video
BTW FROM ONE CSP USER TO ANOTHER YOU CAN ACTALLY MAKE SUPER FAST OUTLINES FOR YOUR ART basically make sure you have the "layer properties" window (window>layer property) and there's a circle button inside the "layer property" window under "effect" and that should give an outline to your current layer that automatically updates if you draw on it/need to make last sec edits! :D
@@furyfanged ITS NO PROBLEM I STRUGGLED WITH IT FOR SO LONG BEFORE FINALLY FIGURING OUT SO IM HAPPY TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE WITH THEIR SUFFERING AHRJKDHV🙏🙏
i went through a dsmp phase too which lead to my first sona who was an enderman with a green and purple eye but now shes evolved into now my amazing kitsune sona who is basically the same just a kitsune now but shes got lore now‼️
I always adored people who had sonas and I really want an oc that represents me but no success in 2 years The first idea was an oc named Paprika which is where I got the idea for my channel name but ironically the username felt more like me than my oc(first username I could keep for even 6 months let alone 2 years) There is one oc I really love enough to make her my sona but it wouldn't feel right as I prefer to keep her a regular oc, and she looks nothing like me, but I never liked ocs that looked even a little like me for some reason :p I'm sure I'll figure it out though, and this video is so fun to watch👍
IM GLAD IT WAS FUN TO WATCH! But this is just my personal experience, if you like sona’s that lean more on the OC side or how you want to appear rather than how you do appear you should totally go for that! >:D
omg this video is so real. I had trouble with my sona for a while (commitment issues mostly) until it came to me in a dream.../hj A little anthropomorphized star/sparkle-head(?) with red swirls on cheeks!!11!1!1! Sooo easy to draw on a whim and that is what I needed initially. Made it a shapeshifter bc shapeshifting is cool (and I'm still quite indecisive). The anthropomorphized star is the basic/default/if-all-else-fails form, and the more human form is close resemblance to me (or how I wish to appear at the time) lolol No one knows where star comes from! All my friends sona's have (somewhat crazy) backstories and home planets and stuff while star is kinda just there lololol
i'm actually making three persona's for my channel, one that kinda looks like me, one that looks like my Minecraft skin, and one that looks like my roblox character (all gonna be used separate but funny)
For me the process of creating my persona was the opposite, I had to go into a more serious direction, but now that I've created my persona which I deeply resonate with I can draw him goofy style as well lmao
i remember always thinking about making a persona but not committing until... it must've been 2022 because i always assumed 'oh i don't need one' despite the fact a lot of my friends have them, irrespective of whether they do art or not. but it turns out, i very much wanted one! and the first one i made was just me with blonde hair but i hated it yet i felt obligated to persist with a sona i hated because i wasn't _really_ allowed to express myself even in the online circles i was in until earlier this year. so behind the scenes i was constantly retooling and redesigning said persona and finally settled on an android with pink hair and i'm glad i finally got over my fear of giving a character pink hair (which, for context, was always presented to me as a bad thing from 2019 until earlier this year) because i am much happier with the design now than i ever was before edit: posted too early. wanted to mention that i hope i'll actually share said persona one day instead of hiding it behind lots of walls
This actually inspired me to scrap my current Sona (A completely too much oc named Snod that kinda was forced on me by my friends) and Simplify down to a little silly monkey guy.
I made my first Sona when I was in middle school, and she went through a couple of redesigns and renames before I settled on one that I ended up using for over ten years before I decided the sona just wasn't me any more, my interests had shifted and I had changed a lot My current sona is a clown doll, which I think really represents my love for creepy-cute things. I even have a costume I made of her for Halloween which I have won a costume contest with and like to refer to as my "true" form lol
I relate to all my oc's in a way so it was not hard to make a persona (my profile pic is my persona dressed in summer clothes actually) but this is helpful advice, thank you.
My persona is actually one my partner made for me its an anthro animal I'm in the middle of redeigning him and making him a new animal, which works as he is a shapeshifter with lightning, and each design is very simple with around 3 main colors with a simple pattern and he is a silly guy
with my persona i decided to make it 4 different characters but i use all of them to represent me and it works. i mainly just use inventive, a cat with a violet bow and teeth for eyes though.

I def had a gacha phase too, but it was way back in gacha studio. It was kinda fun at the time for my lil child self, and yeah I'm not planning to change my persona yet but it does help! I used to build up lore and such for my persona she just ended up being her own character, my current ones the only one that stuck, also the one who's just straight up silly :3
THANK YOU SO MUCH! AND I LOVED GACHA STUDIO AS A KID OMFG 😭 I’m happy my video was still helpful
Oh i didn’t realise how new your channel was until I checked your videos, this is really well done! I still struggle a lot with making a persona I connect to but I think some of the things you said might actually help a bit, thank you! Hope your having a good day or night!
I have just the solution for me. A shapeshifter.

I have a very silly issue. Yours was that: serious didn't work because it was too much, normal didn't work because its just you, and it was solved by goofiness. But my problem is weird where, I always go with normal because I just genuinely love myself. And trying to add anything at all is tricky because I've already made myself the easily recognizable, unique person. But then what do I even add?! I almost wonder if I've already turned myself into a persona of myself, and that's where my issue is. I love clothes and hair and express my over the top aspects of myself in my appearance already. But if there was anything better to use to show the world something about me, it would already be on me. It's such a weird problem.
i guess you would just draw 'you' then! /pos
@@fernbreeze723 That's exactly what I did after watching this video lol
It doesn’t need to be human. Fictional creature r awesome.

Ooooooo. Trueeeeeee
3:20 omg I also have an e-ghost character, and yes, that's her nickname
Others: detailed stories, immaculate.
Me: “fuck it we ball” just a talking pineapple
every character i make is a little guy with a bug theme 🙏i need to add a pineapple to my characters list thats so lovely
So cool to hear about your characters.
I like how your character is based off of your name, which sounds like fang fairy, very clever!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤭🤭
I was just thinking that "wait, this just sounds like someone's yapping session instead of any tutorial" AND THENYOU CONFIRMED IT! This is the way I should be taught
Yes!! I also went through a bunch of personas before landing on my little carton box persona that I have has for like 3 years now and learned that I just wanted a silly little thing to draw when im bored in different outfits.
The way this video made me realise the flaws with my whole trying to draw. I made a quick persona and i managed to make something i liked in like... 3 minutes thanks to you
As someone still struggling with brainstorming, thanks for all the food for thought!
Your Tooth Fairy looks so adorable and iconic!
I love how expressive your art is
What helped me was to make my Sona have characteristics that I like, that it is easy to draw and does not have many details (since it is usually easy to forget them). I also did not put a story since it is like my moldable dough (Sorry if it is not written well, I use a translator since my English is bad)
I've recently decided to make my persona a sexy ghost girl- Because sometimes I feel as though I'm mentally invisible to those around me. I also made her because I just wanted to be able to float around and be sexy. I also have a lot of experience with ghosts so I thought it'd be fitting.
I heard persona and immediately thought of persona 5
My first sona had rainbow hair and was a unicorn cat hybrid, i drew every of my characters with black jumpers and trousers
THATS SO REALLLL
THANK YOU THIS WAS LITERALLY THE ADVICE I NEEDED i realized i was loosing connections with my personas 😭 my first persona was this goofy little half angel half demon and i lost connection, now it is an eggplant, and this was especially what I needed because now i know why ive been feeling less like my persona as well 😭 im taking it too seriously
honestly that's amazing advice. i used to have serious sonas and it was TORTUREEE, now my sona is a small silly little guy and i've never felt more free
I have a sona for every fandom I have an obsession with, I literally have a full list geez!
This was actually really helpful for me! I came to the realization that I just need to draw her in a silly art style and then it became me! So thanks! I hope you have a lovely day
For a while, i had a lot of trouble making a persona to represent myself. I technically already had one, but they weren’t an accurate representation of myself in any way. After a while of trying to come up with something, and failing miserably, i went and took a look at how i usually draw myself for inspiration.
I’ve always drawn myself with certain details, like short brown hair and red eyes. So i just took those traits, added a few things I thought looked cool, made the design consistent, and suddenly i had a persona that more accurately represented me.
Im still gonna use my previous persona as a mascot for my art, but with an updated design that better reflects me.
It took me a very long time to design my persona after discontinuing one of my ocs who served as a persona, but all i did was listen to one song, draw something to go with it, and boom!!! Character in the drawing became my official persona after i realized that they represent me more than any oc i created!! :D
I was thinking about Making a Wrathful Poltergeist-Kitsune Hybrid for my Persona, it makes sense for me cause Growing up I had alot of Paranormal Experiences and On top of that I tend to Hold Grudges when Angered so Letting go is a Really hard thing for me and then I love Japanese Yokai stories and most of my Favs involve the Nine tail fox or Kitsune Shapeshifter just Always Seemed a Fun Ability but I Also I tend to Get Bored with just one choice or there are too many good choices and I can't choose one.
Honestly i used to keep my persona’s accurate to how I look. I cut my hair so I had to update my gacha icon. Issue is that I figured the new outfit I made was… pretty much ‘beginner’ in my opinion. So I changed it and now the only changes she goes trough is clothes. Sometimes her hair is more poofy or spiky, but that’s it.
I relate to this so bad 😭😭 Some time ago made a cool looking siren sona with a few allusions to my irl self and it didn't work at all, she's now her own separate character
my snom "obsession" used to be a joke, but now for every other website, i have a anthro frosmoth pfp and i proudly declare my love of snom. not sure when i started making moth ladies for my pfps, but now it is only a frosmoth. just feels right somehow.
i appreciate this a lot! i’m currently battling art black that has been ongoing for years and i hope that doing little things like refining my persona can bring my motivation back, so thank you for the advice!
The "I could draw this in 10 minutes" is so relatable. I liked making my personas so detailed, to the point I wouldn't have the motivation to draw it all! Now I just have a lil deer girl as my sona, who I can easily draw in minutes. Even though I'm lazy I never lose motivation to draw her
this is actually so relatable because i tried so hard to have ocs and stuff like that till i decided to just, make a goofy character to doodle in clase, with a dumb cliche name
i also always struggled, i still do, to have a persona, just now that im like a month from being 18 im starting to come to terms with what i want to represent myself with, i dont have a channel to upload stuff and maybe maybe just maybe i will upload my draws somewhere, but its mostly for my friends to draw me, so, i always wanted it to represent me, but instead of just doing who i am with a goofy thing that reminds people of me, i always tried to make it complex, a perfect impossible character that looked stright out of a pretentious fantasy isekai, adding stuff, removings stuff, trying to make it look almost like one of those collages from pinterest, when all this time, i have always been just a rat. i always complain about how much i hate minimalism and how stuff should be more complex, but sometimes less IS better, because if you look like conffetti in a room full of conffeti, then it will be very hard to spot you ig idk lol
I realized recently that whenever I depict myself, instead of drawing my sona I end up drawing a scuffed version of myself. And I realized it was because I gave my sona too much lore, she became her own character rather than a representation of me.
I'm currently making a new sona, and she's not gonna get any lore, she's just gonna be me :]
Omg, I did the same! :D there was a sona I made that was meant to exist to represent me, but I started giving her lore. She's sort of her own character now, even though she's still like me in some ways
Because of that, I also made one that has no lore :] I wish you the best with making yours!
as a person who has my persona as a BIG part of my identity, I loved this video! keep up the good art and vids! i loved listening to u talk about the history of ur personas :DD
How I made my persona: I wanted a vtuber model, not done making it. Could not decide on an animal. I own like a week's worth of pirate clothes IRL and thought "might as well be a pirate:." And then I drew myself as a pirate in my favorite patterns and colors. I at no point have invented a story for her because its like.. a selfsona. Always figured the difference was that a selfsona was a self insert in art but way cooler.
I have a few OC's and honestly.. I struggle making cool stories for them if there isn't supplemental content outside of just drawing that I am using them for.
the persona I want is my own spin on the simplicity of Ice Cream Sandwich's persona, but I replace the weird hair thing with something that's both unique and looks good
IT WAS FUN LISTENING TO YOUR EXPERIENCE AND THE POOKIES’ IN THE COMMENTS SO THX YALL
also I’m still figuring my persona out but it has been looking almost just like me for like since I started drawing even if I like drawing my sona self in different aspects (like alien and such) SO I STILL NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT BUT I STILL FEEL HAPPY SOMEWAY SO
Literally right after I made my persona lol (my first persona was also a gacha character 😭), the dream fanart thing is so funny to me haha, loved the video! (In case you're confused, I was the 100th subscriber, I just got a new account 😊)
THE GACHA SONAS GO SO HARD NOW Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking though (ALSO I’D NEVER FORGET MY 100th subscriber 🤭💖)
I think this video found me. I’ve been contemplating for the past 2 weeks now drawing my new persona character. Mine used to be a furry humanoid bunny girl that looked like me. But I stopped resonating with her. I would love to restart and make a new one! A persona who looks like me, easy to draw, has my sense of style, and maybe the same personality too. Thank you for the tips!
I really enjoyed your video and have learned a lot about myself while watching it. I was also taking my sona wayyy too seriously and that's the reason why I wasn't able to connect with anything I was trying to put on paper. That makes me want to try something and I will keep your video in mind while I do so! Thank you!
i really love this because as someone who changes how my "sona" looks quite a bit, i always make it look silly and cute!! i love your sona, she is adorable :3! i think it wopuld be a silly idea for halloween to make the teeth more fang-like on her.
This was so cooll!! My current vtubesona is based off my art sona (I prefer to keep them separate) and is a cyborg from a post-apocalyptic alternate universe!!!
I found this really helpful and interesting, even if I've already got my sonas and love them, because I could point out things I did similarly or differently, and it's super interesting to me!
as someone who just came up with a sona i liked a couple days ago, i relate to your journey SO much haha :‘D i was frustrated with my attempts for so so long cause i was overthinking it WAY too much
Komi can’t communicate mentioned😸
the sona is so cutee
I DIDNT LOOK AT HOW MANY SUBSCRIBERS YOU HAVE AND YOU HAVE WAY LESS THAN I THOUGHT 😭😭😭 this video feels high quality and it would be posted by some really big content creator but NO!! its this amazing youtuber with 1,7k subscribers (make it 1,7 million guys)
AWW OH MY GOSH STOP ITTT THATS SO SWEET 😭🫶🫶
Keep up the great work ! Thanks for the advice I like the idea on either taking it a silly way or in a serious way. It will inspire any future persona I will try and design.
Had to know that I wasn’t the only one with a dream phase and made a persona with a dream mask 😭 I’m hoping to create a persona that really fits me and I had the same experience when creating my old OCs. As cool as they were they were never really me. They all represent a part of me but were so different! I’m definitely going to try and go down a silly route with my next persona!! :DD
this is like.... exactly the push i needed for my persona. anyways say hi to my personaaaa, a fetus! :3!
I was struggling for such a long time! Thanks it helped a lot!!
okay, im obsessed with ur channel
Lesson of the Day: Don't take your doodles seriously. I love it. I've been trying to be more patient with my art lately, and I've learned when you don't take them so seriously it takes off a lot of the pressure of coming up with ideas. That, and you leave room for it to turn into something a bit more serious later if that's what you'd like! Thanks for sharing such a cute/clever design and your thought process with all the ones you've made so far :D
Oh my gosh haha i didnt expect to see that drawing when you showed your old art, I think I followed you on insta all the way back then
I very much had the same experience as you with making super detailed sonas and then eventually landing on a goofy, simple one haha! My sona is a really silly, doodly version of myself who is extra expressive and I just call them Doodle (very creative ik)
honey wake up! FanFury uploaded :D
AW STOP 🤭 YOURE SO NICE
@@furyfanged Nuh uh ^^ *i am going to continue*
this makes me think that i may want to make a little simplified "silly goober" version of my fursona
I DID IT AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH
..theres no actual help on how to make a personal persona??? this is just a story of how you made your personas. i dont get the point of naming the video like that when thats not what it is /nm(please don't delete my comment, i'm not hating.)
- If you struggle connecting to your persona, don't take it too serious, you can make it goofy
- If you are on the more lazy side, you don't even have to make them colorful. Limited color palletes are a godsend
- Take one aspect and make that the "focus". For her, she wanted teeth to be the main aspect, and it grew into her persona
- Don't try to overcomplicate the persona with lore that isn't you since it may cause you to disconnect to them
That's what I got from this video
Try rewatching it, cus it helped me alot
I absolutely adore your artstyle!
BTW FROM ONE CSP USER TO ANOTHER YOU CAN ACTALLY MAKE SUPER FAST OUTLINES FOR YOUR ART
basically make sure you have the "layer properties" window (window>layer property)
and there's a circle button inside the "layer property" window under "effect"
and that should give an outline to your current layer that automatically updates if you draw on it/need to make last sec edits! :D
YOU ARE SUCH A LIFE SAVER THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭
@@furyfanged ITS NO PROBLEM I STRUGGLED WITH IT FOR SO LONG BEFORE FINALLY FIGURING OUT SO IM HAPPY TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE WITH THEIR SUFFERING AHRJKDHV🙏🙏
i went through a dsmp phase too which lead to my first sona who was an enderman with a green and purple eye but now shes evolved into now my amazing kitsune sona who is basically the same just a kitsune now but shes got lore now‼️
I always adored people who had sonas and I really want an oc that represents me but no success in 2 years
The first idea was an oc named Paprika which is where I got the idea for my channel name but ironically the username felt more like me than my oc(first username I could keep for even 6 months let alone 2 years)
There is one oc I really love enough to make her my sona but it wouldn't feel right as I prefer to keep her a regular oc, and she looks nothing like me, but I never liked ocs that looked even a little like me for some reason :p
I'm sure I'll figure it out though, and this video is so fun to watch👍
IM GLAD IT WAS FUN TO WATCH! But this is just my personal experience, if you like sona’s that lean more on the OC side or how you want to appear rather than how you do appear you should totally go for that! >:D
This is a spectacular video!
Your sona is so cute😭😭😭i 100% will be joining the discord🫶🫶
AWW THANK YOU AND YAY! IM GLAD TO HAVE YOU IN THE BASEMENT 💖💖
omg this video is so real. I had trouble with my sona for a while (commitment issues mostly) until it came to me in a dream.../hj
A little anthropomorphized star/sparkle-head(?) with red swirls on cheeks!!11!1!1! Sooo easy to draw on a whim and that is what I needed initially. Made it a shapeshifter bc shapeshifting is cool (and I'm still quite indecisive). The anthropomorphized star is the basic/default/if-all-else-fails form, and the more human form is close resemblance to me (or how I wish to appear at the time) lolol
No one knows where star comes from! All my friends sona's have (somewhat crazy) backstories and home planets and stuff while star is kinda just there lololol
i'm actually making three persona's for my channel, one that kinda looks like me, one that looks like my Minecraft skin, and one that looks like my roblox character (all gonna be used separate but funny)
OOOOOO TGATS SO COOL??
For me the process of creating my persona was the opposite, I had to go into a more serious direction, but now that I've created my persona which I deeply resonate with I can draw him goofy style as well lmao
This really helped me I’m excited to re-draw my mascot!💖🥰😩
i remember always thinking about making a persona but not committing until... it must've been 2022 because i always assumed 'oh i don't need one' despite the fact a lot of my friends have them, irrespective of whether they do art or not.
but it turns out, i very much wanted one! and the first one i made was just me with blonde hair but i hated it yet i felt obligated to persist with a sona i hated because i wasn't _really_ allowed to express myself even in the online circles i was in until earlier this year.
so behind the scenes i was constantly retooling and redesigning said persona and finally settled on an android with pink hair and i'm glad i finally got over my fear of giving a character pink hair (which, for context, was always presented to me as a bad thing from 2019 until earlier this year) because i am much happier with the design now than i ever was before
edit: posted too early. wanted to mention that i hope i'll actually share said persona one day instead of hiding it behind lots of walls
This actually inspired me to scrap my current Sona (A completely too much oc named Snod that kinda was forced on me by my friends) and Simplify down to a little silly monkey guy.
I made my first Sona when I was in middle school, and she went through a couple of redesigns and renames before I settled on one that I ended up using for over ten years before I decided the sona just wasn't me any more, my interests had shifted and I had changed a lot
My current sona is a clown doll, which I think really represents my love for creepy-cute things. I even have a costume I made of her for Halloween which I have won a costume contest with and like to refer to as my "true" form lol
THANK YOUUUU WHAT THIS IS AMAZING
I relate to all my oc's in a way so it was not hard to make a persona (my profile pic is my persona dressed in summer clothes actually) but this is helpful advice, thank you.
I'm very new to drawing and I'm (currently) terrible but this has helped a lot!! I LOVE your art style!! ❤
OMG YAY! IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT I WISH YOU THE GREATEST ON YOUR ART JOURNEY AND IM SURE YOUR ART IS GONNA BE AMAZING (ALSO THANK YOU HEHE)
I thought the first sketch of the 2nd row was spider fangs with piercings until you colored it 😅
I have a tooth fairy character too!! I really like the concept of it and especially more of a horror take
This video helped me a lot 😭❤️ my oc is now a bug 😭😭
My persona is actually one my partner made for me its an anthro animal I'm in the middle of redeigning him and making him a new animal, which works as he is a shapeshifter with lightning, and each design is very simple with around 3 main colors with a simple pattern and he is a silly guy
After making so many sonas I just evolved into a simple mean deer girl
with my persona i decided to make it 4 different characters but i use all of them to represent me and it works. i mainly just use inventive, a cat with a violet bow and teeth for eyes though.
