Here's (2/3)! For even better quality, check it out on my blog: xlatrina.org ! Or don't, it's cool either way lol.

I DESPERATELY need to learn Blender or SketchUp or something 💀💀 I like... NEED to be able to have nice backgrounds without having to learn how to draw/paint them just yet lol. Bear with me y'all, I'm gonna learn one day.

Oh, and the third page will be coming soon!

That said, I kinda hate how I turned my personal Tumblr blog here into a boring ass cesspit of article links. It's not really what I want my blog to be known for, you know? Like I want people who come across my personal blog here to be here specifically because the like the content... which means the content should be REAL content, I feel like. Sorry guys. Anywho, enjoy this post!

Choice

OCs of mine from an abandoned story called… whelp, "Your Story." I think it was a working title tbh, lol, as I really didn't know what exactly I wanted from these OCs. They came about in the weirdest way possible, too…

It began with just one character --LaDonna, the woman under "control." She was initially this like… sort of like Magiciany type of character? She began as a MHA/BNHA OC (hilariously enough), and she was supposed to work as some sort of chaotic outside entity whose nefarious affairs with low and high-brow criminals alike became entangled with the ongoing conflict between the LoV, the Hero Academy, and their own coexisting forces. I could never quite decide if I wanted her to be a villain or a hero, a mysterious outside asset to the League or a similar figure to the students of U.A. Sometimes I imagined her as an enemy and other times a literal MENTOR to the U.A. students lol --especially Deku, I think. But at the same time, she also was HEAVILY inspired by both Resident Evil 8: Village and (this is a SUPER ODD ingredient to the equation, but bear with me!) Disney's Encanto.

Lemme start with the RE8 influences...

Resident Evil 8: Village

So, I'd just got done playing through all of RE8 around 2021-2, including watching a BUNCH of playthroughs. Like a lot of other people, I think, I ended up being HEAVILY invested in the Dimitrescu Household! I literally loved (and lowkey STILL LOVE) just about EVERYTHING regarding this fictional family! I found Lady Dimitrescu to be beautiful and admirable (even though she's canonically a villain lol); I love the concept of her daughters; I absolutely ADORE the big, beautiful house they live in and the riches they adorn; to that extent, the luxurious lifestyle they live altogether is definitely one to both envy and be in awe of. I literally love EVERYTHING about this family, so LaDonna embodies a LOT of attributes from the Dimitrescus.

Her appearance, I feel like, has the most obvious traits adopted from Lady Dimitrescu's design. The big, dipping hat is probably the most evident LOL. I loved the sort of early 1900s-esque vibe Dimitrescu had going on, and so I did my best to apply that to LaDonna. Similarly to the Dimitrescus, I imagined LaDonna to come from old money, so I included modern clothing items that I felt were still callbacks to vintage wear, such as LaDonna's relatively signature shawl and occasional pearls.

I couldn't imagine LaDonna having any more than perhaps one daughter, so from here birthed two other aspects of this OC: (1) she now had a single adult daughter and a late husband, contrary to Dimitrescu who is a whole lesbian with daughters made of bugs; (2) filling in the "space" of the three Dimitrescu daughters resulted in the creation of LaDonna's three sisters --originally all adult women, Conciella, October, and Casper.

Encanto

That said, LaDonna and her sisters underwent another major change as I became a little infatuated wth Encanto (and honestly, who wasn't??). At this point, I ended up really associating Conciella with Mirabel --I guess because I began envisioning them as having similar personalities and insecurities somehow. This resulted in an age change, and LaDonna, October, and Casper essentially became equivalent to Isabella and Luisa as well as the Dimitrescu daughters, even though role-wise, LaDonna still very much operates as a Lady Dimitrescu/Abuela sort of character (hence her label being "control").

Filling in the "blanks" of the other family members is also how I ended up developing majority of the other siblings --the middle children and triplets: Izaak, Hakeem, and LeMarcus --and the younger, mischevious boy child, LeMonte, and the addition of a baby: Fiona because... why not? LOL, this family's already big as it is, might as well keep going!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the other siblings mentioned aren't depicted in this picture --namely: October, Casper, and Fiona. A lot of LaDonna's family altogether isn't here --I actually ended up making a google doc with like... just about ALL of the family members and their offsprings and bits and pieces of their iterrelating stories! There are literally over 50 damn individuals of the family that I planned out and characterized like Boo Boo the Fool! lol...

Well, I think that's all I got to say about this family rn??? This post got super long!!

I miss the era of Sally Face so much, man.. 😭 I WANT TO GO BACK TO IT 😭😭
