Oh, that's a good question!
My favorite is (
Gavril/Ara ), who I still need to draw dressed up in his modern-wear (he has a few outfits to choose from, at least). Here's one of my favorite commissions of him
( x ).
One of the reasons that I like his design so much is because when I was first creating him, I remember wanting a character who was recognizable, but not too generic (like every anime school boy) or flashy (with colorful hair/eyes). I wanted him to be POC, and wanted him to have moles, and hair that was fun to draw (which turned out to be difficult because people aren't used to drawing textured hairstyles on dudes).
I'm quite happy with how he turned out, as many aspects of his physical appearance contribute to his overall character.
My friends have differing opinions on their favorites that I've created though. Ocean really likes (
Pavan ), and (
Edain ) was pretty popular on here, back in the early days of KofK. (Old art! DX)
Which of your OCs are your favorite(s) in terms of design?
Pfft, your art is awesome, ngl! I really love your attention to detail; that's not the sort of care that many artists have, regardless of level of talent. I think being able to take from a reference and draw with care is already a skill itself. But you have both drawing ability and attention to detail.
Aha, dude, everything is allowed on here, as long as you don't offend people. We're all just really chill.

Hmm? In what ways are you having to take care of your mom in your free time, may I ask? I had to help watch my grandmother some years back, which meant I was cooking for her, mostly, and tidying up after her. She mostly watched movies for entertainment.
Oh. What do you do with Batman that takes up so much energy?
Ooh, I see.
Aha, I feel like it's normal to be shy about sharing your art. I still have a ways to go with mine, but looking back, I feel like I've come a ways too. A lot of that is thanks to my friends whom I've shared my art with in the past. I remember starting to draw on blank paper more often than lined (as suggested by an old friend), and coloring more often (as suggested by KC). Then I met other artists who'd let me watch them livestream so I could pick up techniques, or talked to other artist friends who would suggest programs or methods or corrections to improve my drawing. I look at online tutorials too, but it always helps to have someone there to help me out when I need it.
While drawing that profile of Gavril, I had a lot of help from the art group I was in. They were all amazing artists, but they were also so kind. I feel like I grew a lot with them, although I was constantly intimidated as heck. XD;
