Designing male characters has always been a unique challenge for me. I'm not talking about drawing them (although that is at times difficult!) but rather creating them as OCs. I find myself uncertain of what to go with and how to go about designing them. It's super easy for me to come up with various female characters, especially giving them features I either like or find super attractive. But males? An absolute mystery. I tend to end up falling for other people's male characters and wanting to make my own (so I can swoon over them all I want and not worry about creeping out the creator of said OC with my admirations) but doing so is just a mystery for me. I feel almost like I'd rather commission someone to design one for me, but that's lazy (and expensive).

I'd like to come up with a few in the foreseeable future as I know many artists who draw males absolutely deliciously and love to see these characters drawn by them.

For now, designing them is a strange enigma...
