A visual guide of paperaskii’s OC projects. Project #1 — mystery/detective fiction. Below this text are four character portraits: Noriko, Hiroshi, Taiki, and Akari. Project #2 — “Operation Sensation”. Below are five character portraits: three unknown characters, Tatsuya, and another unknown character. Project #3 is unknown at the moment, but Daichi portrait is under here.
Reference sheet of my OC Hiroshi! He is a middle-aged man with gray hair (with lighter gray streaks). He has a mustache and a 5 o’ clock shadow. Along with his dress white shirt and gray pants, he wears a striped gray tie that matches his hair. There are several doodles across the page. The top-left is a headshot of Hiroshi. The top-right is a doodle of him smacking another officer away as he eats the last donut. The bottom-left is of him putting a magnifying glass up to his face, enlarging the part of his face behind the glass. Directly to the right of it is Hiroshi sitting in a chair backwards while holding a pen and clipboard. He says “You’re not in trouble — I just need your help to understand what happened.” An arrow points to this doodle with the text “never fawking sits properly”. The last doodle in the bottom-right is of Hiroshi decorating a pink donut with rainbow sprinkles, and he’s hitting the “salt bae” pose.
Fanart of Kishibe from Chainsaw Man! He is an old man with white hair and a light stubble. He has dull eyes that are half-open and is staring blankly at the viewer. He wears a navy blue suit & tie, along with two earrings on his left ear.
My old man OC Tatsuya in a manga art style. He is looking off to the side with a relaxed smile.
Reference sheet of my OC Akari! She is a 16 year old girl with blue hair and wears a light-blue denim jacket. She also wears a white bow with light-blue zig-zags at the corners. There are several doodles across the image, with some being fully colored. Top-left is a full-body rough sketch of her design. The doodle directly to the right is a half-body of Akari winking at the camera and giving a thumbs up. Top-right is a headshot of her with a jagged smile with a shark behind her. Bottom-left is an uncolored half-body doodle of her jamming out to music with a pair of wired earbuds. Finally, bottom-right is a half-body drawing of her looking confused. The text at the top says “Akari. 16 y/o. she/her.” Below her name is a Japanese spelling using kanji characters.

Doodles of three characters. On the right is a detailed sketch of Toshizou Hijikata from Golden Kamuy. His arms are crossed and he looks down at the other two characters with a stern expression. The text above him says “Toshizou Hijikata (Golden Kamuy)”. On the left are two chibi drawings of my old man OCs Daichi and Tatsuya. Daichi is wearing a light blue haori on top of a blue kimono and completes his outfit with a light blue fedora. He is looking at Hijikata with amaze. The text above him says “Daichi (OC)”. Tatsuya is wearing a white kimono and a pair of red headphones on his head. He looks at Hijikata with a scared expression on his face. The text to the left of him says “Tatsuya (OC)”.
Digitally drawn artwork of my two old man OCs, Daichi and Tatsuya! Daichi is in the top-left, wearing a blue kimono with a light blue haori on top. He’s also wearing a light blue fedora. His braided hair is flowing in the wind as he strikes a contemplative pose. The light blue text next to him says “Daichi. Younger brother. Straightforward and suave. His ability: traversal via electronic devices (teleportation)” Tatsuya is in the bottom-right and is holding his hands up to a pair of red headphones already on his head. He’s wearing a white traditional outfit with a pair of navy blue hakama pants. His hair is long and free-flowing, as well as his long mustache. The red text next to him says “Tatsuya. Older brother. Shy, ball of anxiety. Ability: superhuman hearing.”

He is biting his glove with his teeth. Volga is a man with soft facial features and a pale complexion. He has long, blond hair tied in a high ponytail at the back and braids on both sides of his head. He has long, pointy ears with several piercings. He looks off to the side with a stern expression.

A blank template of the “Draw a character you like” art challenge!
Draw a character you like (no OCs! fanart only!) CURRENT FAVORITE — Benoit Blanc (from ‘Knives Out’). He’s so silly goofy for an older detective, I love his dynamic with his sidekicks in every movie! Also his accent LMAO COMFORT CHARACTER — Ryoma Hoshi (from ‘Danganronpa V3’). He is cradling a cat in his arms! I love how adorable his design is, he’s so huggable! … Also How to Make Paper Cry 101: write a depressed character who’s desperately searching for a reason to live 😭 This man needs a hug!!! BY DESIGN — Snow Miku 2025. How to make Paper love your character design 101 = blue & white color palette + long hair!! 🙂‍↕️ BY PLOT — Hank Anderson (from ‘Detroit: Become Human’). Seeing this grumpy old man develop over the course of the story was super wholesome!! 🥺 I love his dynamic with Connor (the android protagonist) so much — they’re basically father and son and you can’t convince me otherwise!!! GUILTY FAVORITE — Fluttershy (from ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’). Yeah… 2014-2020 was my brony era 🥀 ALL-TIME FAVORITE — Tenzin (from ‘The Legend of Korra’). He looks at the viewer with a quizzical expression while stroking his beard in contemplation. I could go on and on about why I love Tenzin 😭 — I love how he’s written to be a wise mentor-figure who can still make mistakes and has active flaws of his own! Seeing old masters of their craft being portrayed a lil pathetically is always such a refreshing sight to see and it made Tenzin feel so much more “human” to me ❤️. ALSO I loved seeing him take on the role of a mentor, father, sibling, protector, and son at different times throughout the show — seeing these different sides to him made him feel so multi-dimensional as a character and I personally think that the writers absolutely NAILED the writing for Tenzin! If you made it this far, comment with a blue heart emoji! 🙂‍↕️

A digital illustration of Leafsaw’s OC, Twin. A teenager with gray hair, wearing a long black & red coat. He is holding up a glowing blue card in one hand, while he crosses his fingers in the other hand behind his back. As a sneaky lil’ magician who is able to conjure up illusions, the hand gesture represents the idea of being dishonest.

A collection of doodles featuring an old man in blue, traditional Japanese wear (kimono). He has white, braided hair that’s tied with pink bands, and his eyes are the same pink color. His concept is that of a “digital samurai” — who wields a katana with magical properties! In the bottom-left, he is reaching for his katana, ready to pull it out of its sheath. The katana itself has glitchy visual effects. In the top-left, he is in the middle of slashing, while the katana glows a bright blue with glitchy effects trailing the blade’s after-image. The top-left features a chibi version of the old man with a neutral facial expression. The bottom-left is an uncolored sketch of the character slashing a stick figure in half.
A digital painting featuring a headshot of a humanoid doll with green and light green hair, with red eyes. He wears a pink dress shirt tied with a red necktie and a red vest worn on top. The two stray hairs at the top of his head form a heart.
A guide full of important points to consider when drawing Taiki!
A half-body digital illustration of Keef’s old man OC, Julong (or JuJu for short). He wears a light blue plaid shirt that’s half-open. The pose he’s in is a reference to a dance trend (“Juju On That Beat”) that went viral in 2016. To the right is a doodle of Keef himself screaming in agony as the text directly above his head say “MAKE IT STOPPP!!”. In the very top-right corner is blue text that says “Happy JuJu Day Keef!”, but the “JuJu Day” is crossed out so instead it says “Happy B-Day Keef!”
