@AshenVoice I first designed Emilia in 2019; she's had six redesigns since - her current design is almost 2 years old. 🐝
I also included a chart showing all seven of her designs, as well as that glowup server theme on Moira's server from a ways back 😊
#20) You get a double feature: Emilia and Jennie's first-ever designs from the fall of 2019 (well, digitized anyway)!
#19) For this one, I'm assuming "self interest OC" means "self insert" OCs - i.e., sonas and the like. In that vein, while I don't *technically* count him among my OCs, I do have a sonicsona: Natt! ✨ (comm by @/TheArtYoshi)
Then, there's Dendra, who is truly unhinged. In public, she acts all nice and friendly, like there's nothing wrong with her. (images from her ref by @/DrStarline, originally adopted from @/KamiGory) (3/4)
...so they're not really much of a threat except in certain cirumstances. (art by @/miichi_blu and @/INKMAN_YEARONE). (2/4)
#5) I think bees (and insect species in general) are underrated, so I wanted my first/main OC to be a bee. Plus, let's just say that people who say "Emilia reminds me of Saffron" aren't 100% wrong - I did take a little inspiration from her. (first img is a comm by @/Coffea_Tea)
#4) Hmm...I love all of my OCs' designs, but I'd have to say Evanna's my favorite. I loved her design so much that aside from making her sting retractable, I made no changes after I adopted her! (art of Evanna's original design by @/chaosmemerald, post-adopt art by @/_milaries)
#3) Tough to say - I love all of my OCs, but if I had to choose a favorite, I would have to say Emilia! 🐝
(have some old SA-"style" art lol)
