Creating a character's outfit is another aspect of the character's personality. It gives them some sort of definitive aspect, something that sets them apart from other characters. But, how do you create an outfit? What makes all of these cool cats so cool?

★☆-Method One: Ethnicity-☆★
Midori

Characters must have originated from some place, right? What's that place? What's the culture and standards of that place? Let’s look at some characters which came from Earth.

This is Midori Migahama. She comes from Greece and fights as a warrior. In her original concepts, she would wear olive leaves since she was the leader of a gang. She also wore many Greek based clothing such as something similar to a tunic and her hair was braided similar to olive branches.

Latixn

Meet Latixn, a troll OC. She took an interest in being different from others and wanted to express herself. How did she do this? By taking the group of people who cannot express themselves and making fun of them in expressing herself.

★☆-Method Two: Dress-Up Games-☆★
Dress up games are a good alternative to start with. A few of my own OCs have clothes which come from or are based on those from Rinmarugames and similar places.

Rinmaru games helps me create specific features of characters such as their faces meanwhile Chibimaker aids in creating the character’s outfit. This can only get you so far, however, and you would have to add your own features.

★☆-Method Three: Magazines-☆★
Coral (SV)/Regenerations

Fashion magazines are another source of good ideas for clothes and such but, just like dress up games, can only get you as far as this world’s real clothing. I would only use this for OCs you want to have a regular life and not be gobbled up by some weird alternate reality and possibly die there. Eh. It’s not the best but it can help.

I hope this helps. If I think of anything else to add, I will do so. Have a good day, everyone!
