my number one tip for oc design is to get so obsessed you draw them 200 times over the course of two months. then whichever details you consistently forget/simplify? retcon em. boom. effective memorable character design. works every time.

![art of a character named anathena. she is a pale adult woman with a large burn scar on her right face, wearing purple 4-pointed star earrings and black lipstick. her yellow eyes point to something to her distant left. her fluffy white hair is in a very loose low updo, and white feathers stick out from the sides. she wears a golden collar, belt, and arm gauntlets over a thin, black turtleneck that ends with gloves that end at the ring fingers where she wears a golden ring on each. On top of these accessories, she wears a blue-violet suit-like piece that ends at the elbow with curved, folded cuffs. her lapels resemble butterfly wings with black eye-like shapes nearing the sharp ends. The suit is cropped, tucked into her belt, but extends on only one side to fold and cascade into a tailcoat-like shape around her straight black pants, over her black socks and golden sandals with a low heel. She stands with her right arm down, and the left with an upward-bent elbow to show her closed hand, save for the pointer and middle finger. her colour palette and name are to the right, she is INTJ, uses she/her, and is 5 foot 11. To quote her description: Name pronounced [Anæɵea] from "Anathema," one that is cursed by ecclesiastical authority, and "Athena," the Greek goddess of wisdom [and war] (Merriam-Webster) ... An immortal who studied magic from a young age and honed her skill over centuries once spent working on sociopolitical affairs; she had abandoned a high position for unknown reasons. Speaking of unknowns, there is an uncountable myriad of them. Well, at least, for now.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/248ce17bb5873efbdc2fe5914708f174/dabb554e487fcd7b-5b/s500x750/d492fc729eabc18d7ab63a92e6b40ade6064778e.png)
OC INTRO POST - ANATHEIA
I want to start again with this for at least, the more important characters. I hope you guys will like them, I want to give them good stories :]
extra notes:
bird and night sky design themes!
religious symbolism but it's alive!?
the rings on her second fingers matter,,
her right face is burned - she wears a mask outside. the skin there isn't as elastic, and her right eye is worse, guys :((
she is. very ticklish. go, go for the back.
subtle clothes butterfly represents change and short-lived, happy moments :((
