01. Oldest OC (re. https://mastodon.art/@jsstaedtler/115730281872447747)

Yeah, that's Ceilidh¹. She was formally "instantiated," along with many other characters, in a story concept I developed in the '90s (and which turned into a daily webcomic in 1999), but Ceilidh specifically evolved from a girl I had drawn repeatedly before then. She was born unwittingly! (And she would not be happy with me putting it that way)

¹ Pronounced "KAY-lee"

02. Newest OC (re: https://mastodon.art/@jsstaedtler/115730281872447747)

It's Serah, the grossly irresponsible angel! When she's not dozing off, she's often sneaking out to the Mortal Realm to party. She eventually gets barred from Heaven and has to surreptitiously crash at a misanthropic demon girl's apartment in Hell.

I simply got inspired earlier this year to draw a sleepy, Bohemian-style angel, and that led to developing an entire bizarre storyline. I'm really hoping to produce something more with it soon...

03. Favourite OC (re. https://mastodon.art/@jsstaedtler/115730281872447747)

Not fair making me choose just one, I like them all for different reasons but I guess I'll go with Reina. The best explanation I have is she's a caribou who somehow ended up with a human body. She has no real story or motivation, she's just purely sincere and expressive, and it's fun to put her in absurd situations.

(And her antlers are super cool, even though they're a royal pain to draw)
