Takoda desperately needed a new reference. I used this opportunity to try and improve my art, albeit with limited effort. I watched a video on how to draw arms and legs, as well as another on how to properly draw muzzles. I also used pictures of a much more talented artist who draws anthro dragon babs as reference too. The legs mostly turned out fine, but the arms and hands still look terrible. I’m also not too excited about the eyes or muzzle.
Takoda is probably my favorite OC aside from Leon, Parker and Nixie. Needless to say, even she still feels “Hollow” compared to them. Whenever I want to commission a picture from someone, I rarely use my own OCs and instead use characters from Media or my friend’s OCs with their consent, as they all feel more fun to come up with ideas for.
Could this be a result of my depression? Or do I simply need to try harder to form an emotional bond with these pictures I call characters? Like with my Novel (which I’ve sadly abandoned since I feel I’m not “Professional Writer” material), I seem to have forgotten how I made those bonds in the first place. Kinda makes me wish I was younger, when I had so much determination. Now I’m basically a husk.
Anyway, for those who don’t know, Takoda is a 16 year old writer of Native American descent who was regressed to 2 years old and can sometimes shift between her ages and she frequently wears diapers even when she isn’t a baby. Hopefully she doesn’t have the same writing problems I have.

I see a lot of potential in Takoda, in the AU I written for her, she was a highly acclaimed fanfic writer who wanted to start going pro but had a huge case of writers block, until she was summoned to ditumen and had her adventures there, and used those adventures as inspiration to write the shield of art series.
While she's a very competent writer, she finds it difficult to get off the ground without something to work off on, which was why her fanfics did so well, she was able to take ideas from previous works, and put a new spin on them. While in ditumen, she meets another aspiring writer, Jeris. Who isn't the best writer, but is able to come up with plenty of great pilots with interesting concepts for stories and characters with a lot of potential depth, but is not particularly good at developing them. In the end the two work together to help to cover each other's weakness and also teach the other their strengths.
Jeris learns how to develop his stories better, and focus on a piece of work, while Takoda is taught to expand her horizons, and to just write.
But in all seriousness, if you've really lost interest in a character, it might just be better to let them go, or put them aside until you have something you can use them for. And focus on the interesting characters you want to work with, I've had a lot of main characters which I've just scrapped because they either bore me, or I couldn't think of anything for them, and some of them get bought back as newer characters which I have something for to write about which interest me.
