So pretty~!

I wouldn't mind if you use Bergström (Piney is actually using that, I don't know why it says Bergstrom in the infodump), I was thinking I could change mine and we could be cousins or something ^^ (I won't do it unless you guys want to ofc)

Thank you! That's a really nice idea, and it would sort of make sense - we are all 'Swedish' after all. I would absolutely be up for doing it, if Piney also agrees. If she doesn't than that's also fine; I really like 'Jansson' as well, so the loss of my first choice didn't make me too upset  :)
(I'll just go correct Piney's name in the infodump, thank you for telling me about that slip-up!)

Frenci, I can't believe you drew everyone! :O Hehehe, my character looks so cute there! Also congratulations the way you drew my hair is spot on *throws confetti at you*

I have a question. Are people drawing themselves in the SSSS universe, or are they making OCs?? I mean, not that it matters, I just really really need want to know because I'm a bit confused (personally I've made my character exactly like myself except that she can fire a gun, sort of. Which she is only able to do because it'd be required of her)

I'm drawing myself =) if I get around writing a bio I will also try to base it on myself.

Yeah okay. I guess the thread is called "self-inserts" after all, but some people have been referring to their drawings as OCs so I was just wondering

(Hehe, my bio will be heavily based on myself as well)

I for one am definitely drawing myself. all my bio info is applicable to real life me, too, just tweaked to fit the ssss-verse a little (like, I don't speak icelandic or finnish, but icelandic is kind of the english of the ssss-verse, and finnish is definitely a good gibberish substitution for czech)

Well I am mostly drawing myself (personality wise), but I have taken some liberties with languages, nationality, appearance - although I have mostly stayed true to how I look in real life -, backstory etc. to help my character fit into the SSSS universe.

I'm kind of drawing myself, but definitely tweaked a bit and given a backstory different to my own life story (there are some parallels but i've kind of broken myself of the habit of making pure self-inserts and i'm trying not to go back to that :I ). Karri's personality is a *touch* more volatile than my own but the facial expressions at least are very similar 8)

Also, blanket thank you to everybody who said nice things about my drawing of baby Haiz and I!! I'm working on doing a couple more, actually! Fimbulvarg, the sketch in the background is a doodle of how Karri and Freddie would react to each other ('eyeLINER?? TELL ME UR SECRETS WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND WORKS BEST GIMME YOUR INFORMATION' -both of them, probably) upon introduction. What nerds.

Frenci and Oh Deer, we're all so cute!! I will be working on another installment in the headshot series with all you new cuties soon! I think there are 4 of you to draw now. I might wait until another person posts theirs just so I can properly dedicate a page to you guys in my sketchbook • v •

Personality and appearance, mostly, but, you know, self-insertish because I'm not even remotely from Scandinavia. I personally haven't given too much thought to my character's history because she's not quite a character in my eyes, but I guess if I ever get around to making a backstory it'll become less "what I might possibly look like in year 90" and more "a person I might be in year 90," if that makes any sense at all. So, currently just a sort of representation.

Of coures you are. :P How else could you manage to knit so fast, if not for those...ah, dextrous spindly limbs?

I drew all the ssssonas/OCS!
It took all day!

Wow, that's some dedication right there. I like how easy it is to tell people apart without eve looking at the name labels.

The lack of opposable thumbs might be a hurdle though.

other than the name (which i just yanked from my grandmother and great-grandmother) and the gun-firing proficiency, it's mostly the same thing for me. like haiz, i've done some alternate-universe mapping for my real life interests/talents/languages. so alt-universe me longs for an artsy or skaldic existence in the big city while doing stuff that i'm not thrilled about to make a living. norwegian takes the place of spanish as a native language, but i prefer using the lingua franca icelandic/english because of its utility.

frenci, your drawings are so great! i love that everyone looks unique and like their own person.

maybe now that some of my exams are done, i'll be able to do some more drawings of my own... i may redo my ssssona with my new haircut, and i might also doodle some of you guys. :)
