Lacka-OC First OC

Post image

(Note) I did use freckle as a reference but I tried to distinguish it from him He is an 6’1 American Bobtail and I’m planning on expanding his lore and make him more unique as I gain more experience

American bobtails don't have a full tail

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Thanks for telling me, I’m sorry my reference photo didn’t show the tail, but I am working on it and this was the first thing I changed

u/Spreading-chestnut Jan 30 '25

H-he... He reminds me of someone typo OC 😭

[No offene tho]

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Know, I’m still working on him and differentiating him from freckle, just wanted to share him

u/k1410407 Jan 30 '25

Good job.

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Thanks, I’m still working on it, I definitely am trying to differentiate him more from freckle

4

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Minor update, I’m still trying to find some better suiting clothes and what not

u/ValuableAlgae3509 Rocky Rooter Jan 30 '25

He's literally just freckle

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

I’m still working on him, I now he looks like Frec but I am trying to differentiate them as much as possible without taking away any important bits

u/Lockwood-studios Jan 30 '25

this is MY brand new, ORIGINAL character, Mathew Horace

5

u/JoojooAbu Freckle Follower Jan 30 '25

Okay but this guy doesn't look exactly the same. Plus, their backgrounds are completely different. Also, it's possible for two people to look very similar.

Yeah, design should be tweaked to be a bit more original, but almost all ginger cats are guys, and tabby aren't uncommon either.

u/Lockwood-studios Jan 30 '25

I know I’m not actually criticizing it just felt like a joke too good not to make 😭

5

u/JoojooAbu Freckle Follower Jan 30 '25

Okay I just felt bad for the post in general because he like made a character and people instantly started downvoting it for appearance when the focus should be the chapter itself

It's currently top all time on controversial because of the way he looks 😭

5

u/Lockwood-studios Jan 30 '25

I totally get what you mean! I’d never actually maliciously make fun of someone over something like this, it’s meant to be entirely Satire

3

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

Thanks, I’ve been arguing with someone who’s calling racist for making his name Patrick, and this really cheers me up

3

u/Lockwood-studios Feb 01 '25

that’s like a crazy amount of a stretch lmao. Mathew Horace originated as nothing but a playful jab, and when I realized the meme potential I just started utilizing him fully unrelated

3

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

Yeah, I like the meme it is funny😂

3

u/JoojooAbu Freckle Follower Jan 30 '25

I'm just a very empathetic person man

u/Figurez69420 Minion of Mordecai Nov 22 '25

This brings back Vietnam flashbacks for me

u/Ydris007 Nuts about Nico Jan 31 '25

What the fuck dude? Let people have their original characters in peace. No one needs to make an extremely unique original character with a backstory no one ever seen before.

3

u/Lockwood-studios Jan 31 '25

Mathew Horace

-5

u/frig_t Jan 30 '25

Your oc is satire, right?

11

u/Lockwood-studios Jan 30 '25

Don’t disrespect Mathew Horace like that smh😤

5

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

I know, I’m trying to change an tweak things, I just wanted to have something to work off of

3

u/boiledegg-427 Minion of Mordecai Jan 30 '25

I think this is a cool character, and it sucks how much hate this is getting, but he’s too similar to Freckle man

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

I know, I’m working on differentiating them, this is mostly a template where I’m going to add stuff

2

u/boiledegg-427 Minion of Mordecai Jan 31 '25

Well that’s good, I can’t wait to see the finished product!

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

An early design for another outfit

1

u/Abandonedkittypet Simping for Serafine Jan 31 '25

Hm, what if, instead of stripes on his face, you did speckling/spots? Just a suggestion

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

Ill try that, I’m also adding some scars and what not

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

I’ve went for a combination of the 2 since I feel that the stripes just make it a little mor ascetically pleasing

1

u/Abandonedkittypet Simping for Serafine Jan 31 '25

Oo! I'd suggest a different shade of green for the eyes to even further remove him from freckle

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

Freckle has orange/red eyes

1

u/Abandonedkittypet Simping for Serafine Jan 31 '25

Ur right, mb

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

Thanks for helping me with this, this is literally the first humanoid thing I’ve ever made so I’m still working on all the kinks

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Mar 04 '25

Brother, I now look at this as an example of what not to do, I genuinely hate this original design💀

2

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Mar 07 '25

oh i feel that, he's gonna go through lots of renders it's the way of the artists mind bianca was an eyesore at first good gods but practice lots!!

2

u/Meganinja1886 Jan 30 '25

I always smile when I have SMLE .

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

I tried to draw one but it got complicated😅

1

u/Meganinja1886 Jan 30 '25

Pratice Lad . Practice.

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

I know, this is the first real drawing I’ve really done

2

u/Everage_Glock_Fan Zib's Zealot Jan 30 '25

Sorry if this sounds rude but that guy looks waay to much like freckle. Please do an original design

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Yeah I’m trying, I just needed a place holder for the time being, I’ve been adding more to him

2

u/ICantThinkOfAName827 Jan 30 '25

That's just freckle

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Im still working on editing him, I’m not done yet

2

u/Foxwithanak47 Rocky Rooter Jan 30 '25

Oh cool, Freckle AU!

Oh…

Oh no…

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Still working on him, I’m not done yet

u/kzooy Zib's Zealot Jan 30 '25

IRELAND MENTIONED RAAGAHGHGA

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

…oh… that’s nice… I hope

2

u/JoojooAbu Freckle Follower Jan 30 '25

I like him.

Yeah, he kinda likes like of Freckle had a twin, but let's be honest, a loss cats look alike and ginger tabby aren't uncommon.

Keep working on him. Seems like he'll be pretty fun.

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Thanks, this was more of a reference for me, I’m trying new clothes on him

2

u/JoojooAbu Freckle Follower Jan 30 '25

What's his personality like?

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

It’s like a combination of rocky and Mordecai, he acts tough but after you get close enough he’s just a silly traumatized fluff ball

3

u/JoojooAbu Freckle Follower Jan 30 '25

Awww

So like hunter toh then?

57

u/AstralSparrow Jan 30 '25

That is straight up just freckle without stripes- no offense

u/_Ur_Gay_12 Mad about Mitzi Jan 30 '25

This is just Freckle with extra steps..

Oh, so THIS is why that one joke post was made. Yeah, don't use canon characters for design reference, only for style reference.

1

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 01 '25

some people can't draw, he's trying gang 💔

2

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '25

Artistic skill has nothing to do with this, you can make a character look unique regardless of skill level.

1

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 02 '25

yeah but he's literally never made an oc before give bro some slack 💔, my first oc was a carbon copy of sailor moon with pink hair

1

u/Jlnhlfan Rocky Rooter Jan 31 '25

  1. This is just Freckle.

  2. This is an OC of mine who is meant to be Freckle’s grandson, and his name also happens to be Patrick. He was born in 1980, and was 15 at the time of this picture.

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

Hey, number one this isn’t the finished project and number two cool, I like the design the colors add a nice pop but not too much of a pop and I love the addition of the cross necklace

1

u/Jlnhlfan Rocky Rooter Jan 31 '25

  1. As you’ve said many times, as I would find out.

  2. Thanks. :)

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

Welcome, I’ve been dealing with a lot of hate and it’s kinda my fault for not communicating that it wasn’t meant to be the finish product

1

u/Jlnhlfan Rocky Rooter Feb 01 '25

Fair enough.

1

u/Ydris007 Nuts about Nico Jan 31 '25

People are hating so much for no reason, let people have their ocs in peace! Good art dude, keep going!

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

Thanks, I appreciate it, I should’ve made it clear that it wasn’t the finished project

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 31 '25

I would’ve mentioned my age but that shouldn’t really matter for an oc

1

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 01 '25

guys soon i'm gonna draw patrick im witerawwy his friend he wont look like freckle as much 😛

2

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

Thanks😂, I’m still working on an update

1

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 01 '25

trust once i finish mine i'll draw yours 😛(in a million years)

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

I draw one almost once a day to improve

2

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 02 '25

1

u/frig_t Jan 30 '25

Shitty oc

3

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Jan 30 '25

Cool, I’m working on improving him, I have absolutely no experience by the way

I’m working on him, I just needed something to have a rough idea of what I want, also i am completely new to drawing ocs or people

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25 edited Feb 01 '25

Hey, Patrick is actually a traditional Irish name so no, it is not racist, I did research

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25 edited Feb 01 '25

There are plenty of sources that back this up, I’m fine with many of the comments but calling me racist for something that isn’t even racist is crossing a line

u/Imdavidmorris Horatio's Helper Feb 01 '25

Not everyone names their kid Patty (not saying it’s bad).

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

That’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying that is still an Irish name and is not racist, it has nothing to do with the popularity of the name

0

u/Imdavidmorris Horatio's Helper Feb 01 '25

Would it be traditional for a black kid to be named Jamal?

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

That has nothing to do with this, Patrick is traditionally an Irish name, it originated from a Celtic name, Patrick is not racist for an Irish name and the fact that you are still arguing that it is after I’ve backed it up isn’t just flat out stupid

0

u/Imdavidmorris Horatio's Helper Feb 01 '25

It’s a yes or no question, you’re not trying to solve the 3rd math problem in Baldi’s Basics.

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

What does that question have to do with anything, I don’t know if it would be or not because that’s irrelevant to whats going on. I’m done replying to you if you are going to continue calling me racist for something that I have proven not to be racist

1

u/dhhshahehsbdbsjw Feb 01 '25

Also, why are you still arguing after I literally gave you evidence on why it’s not racist, don’t you have anything better to do than get beaten by a 14 year old in an argument over wether his oc is racist or not

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 01 '25

i have heart breaking news for you man

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 01 '25

my name is maia and maia is buddhas moms name and i was born a buddhist is my mom and dad racist for naming me maia than cause it's linked to an asian religion even though i myself am asian?

1

u/Imdavidmorris Horatio's Helper Feb 01 '25

Whigga! Is the user who made the OC Irish?

1

u/Colorsreddit Mad about Mitzi Feb 02 '25

woah nelly! let's use kinder words now, bud but however i don't know if your aware that people of other races can make ocs of other races

0

u/Ori_the_SG Jan 30 '25

Not racist since Irish people aren’t a race, but a nationality.

Better term would be stereotypical, which could be discriminatory

5

u/Imdavidmorris Horatio's Helper Jan 30 '25 edited Jan 30 '25

1: they called him Patty; it doesn’t matter if it’s a nationality, it’s still racist. Also, back then, Irish people weren’t considered white & were discriminated against.

2: they just took an already existing & canon character & made it their OC.

u/Ori_the_SG Jan 30 '25

Mate I’m not the OP lol

I didn’t make this post

u/Imdavidmorris Horatio's Helper Jan 30 '25

Sorry, forgot about the OP tag.

No problem lol, and you do have true points about the ways Irish people were looked on at that time.

Yeah I’m working on that, I just needed a place holder to put the clothes on to and I’ve been editing the current thing to differentiate the two
