Characters for expression?

{Okay so basically I do this thing and I was curious if other people do it too. Posted here because I figured caregivers and littles both could.}

 

Everyone has their different sides right?

Littles have their adult side and their little side, while some caregivers probably separate their caregiver self from the side they show their friends. (I wouldnt know, Im just guessing lol) Well I myself, being a freelance artist, made characters to express my two sides. This started out with the fact that I was never really able to be my little self out loud until recently, or express my adult self to the fullest unless I was performing in my many hobbies.[Fire dancing, Motocross, extreme free swimming, and of course ART] 

 

So I found myself in the furry fandom, a place where I could be accepted and express myself freely. And soon Valor [first attached photo] was born, a free spirited and reckless halberd wielding Angel Dragon, she expresses my adult side and values bravery over all else. I based her personality, markings(tattoos), body type, and even skill set on my own and it took almost three months to complete her design.

 

After a while though I felt as if I was neglecting my more childish side, and I finally decided to get into DD/LG officially. I researched it quite a bit and eventually talked about it with my partner at the time, and a couple weeks later I finished designing my darling little Lillin [second and third attached photos], a tiny little Imp who causes trouble at every turn but all for the right reasons. She expresses my little side and how I draw her changes based on my life.(I.e. how well she is "taken care of" If I am single and having to do things on my own I draw her with tattered clothes or bandages but if I'm with someone and happy I draw her with luxurious gowns and pretty little crowns)

 

I'm curious if anyone else does this or does anything similar?

If you don't, I'd highly recommend it, especially if you can't express yourself freely in daily life. And if you do, I'd love to hear your story! Thanks for reading! <3

I don't think you can take a kink into a different personas. I suppose in all a little side or a caregiver side could be considered one, but it is more seen as a part of personality.

I like this idea... I'm not an artist... I can't draw or anything worth a crap but...I really like yours!!!

Aah! I adore your designs. I'm sort of a digital artist myself. I like expressing my interests through character art too. I mainly use Rin Kokonoe, since she's all I want to be as a little. I've uploaded a picture I drew of her below along with screenshots from her anime. ^ - ^

Awwww so cute!!! I guess the way I see myself...

 

Chobits... I think is what it was called. Kinda like her... at times.

 

Anyone know the show "United States of Tara" ...?

 

That's how I feel at times LOL

 

I wish I could draw and/or do digital art of some sort for this reason.

These are all FANTASTIC!

I say that I put on many hats...

this really helps make everything concrete.

THANK YOU! While I don't see it really as multiple personalities at anything, different strengths and facets shine in different atmospheres or arenas. This is how I see myself:

 

at work, highly professional, the character is like

Donna from Suits

 

With family, the role turns toward humor similar to

How I Met Your Mother

 

Friends will see characteristics aligning with

Fiona from Burn Notice

 

As a lil I'm just ME.

That's hard to explain... I guess.

 

Does anyone understand what I'm trying to say? Anyone have parallels to tv or movie characters? What character fits your lil self? I can't figure it out really -could say lil Mairide from Disneys Brave...?

I was always a SUPER artistic kid - Lost it as an Adult because..life? Anyway, When i started opening up my Little Side I found my creativity came flooding back... I can't draw worth poop but I paint and more importantly.. I'm pretty awesome with a sewing machine.. So i started making collars, Lanyards, Paci holders and all things adorable! I am currently off work due to "Compassion Fatigue" (which is just a fancy word for I got sick of seeing how horrible people are and took too much of it home with me annnd i burnt out) So It fulfills the adult need to be doing SOMETHING other than sitting on my arse all day.. and I can fully express my Little with the designing process.. and It actually has brought in a little bit of money doing Custom Orders for FB friends, Cosplay, and con stuff for my Gamer friends.

So I had these images saved. I don't know the artist but I guess these are kind of three sides of me... Of course these aren't my only traits... LOL

Those pics just made my creative lightbulb go off. I am totally going to go design a Collar! The Etsy Store I am thinking about is called Sirens & Seraphim - The whole Siren/Mermaid thing would be an AWESOME edition to my first product roll out :D

I started drawing them last night! 3 collars all themed around those 3 pics you put up. The dark siren, the sullen almost angelic one and the crazy colorful one! I'm gonna start construction hopefully over the weekend!! I'll post them when their done!

 

And yes I do customs based on whateer you'd like. I have everything from Chanel an Luis vitton themes to velvet - I make a lot of different stuff. I can't even list it all! Lol inbox me with stuff you dig I can tell you what I have around that theme or character. I make the collars (bondage proof if you require it) paci holders, bibs etc etc
