This stamp is flying around in my head since several weeks. I'm not able to use stamps (still not a big friend of premium memberschips etc) but I really like collecting them. I'm really picky about them though because stamps tell a lot about you and I don't want to fav something with a message that doesn't represent my thoughts.

So, I was looking for some good OC stamps but I have to admit, I was a little bit dissapointed. So I decided to make one for myself.

The message is easy...
My OCs are not only children of my mind, they are a very important part of myself. They represent different goals, subjects or even images of myself how I would've been if things changed in my life. Some might know that I have a very....let's say strange/difficult way to handle OCs. I don't want to explain this now because it would need years to write down every detail.

I admit I'm really tempted to write a little essay about OCs and their meaning in a persons psyche/life....so..who knows....maybe..one day....

Eh, I'm detached from my OCs. I draw them a lot, lately to combat some sadness I've been feeling, but other than that, I have no issue with killing them off for no good reason. Very rarely do I ever see eye-to-eye with any of my characters, which are more inspired by the people who have disappointed me in my life. One of my favourite OCs was given characteristics of some of my bullies which dislocated my jaw, and were eventually sent to jail for assault. In any case, I simply don't love them. They are nothing more than a hobby, one I have no qualms about eliminating the moment I have to or I get bored with it. :shrug:

Good point but even that is a part of you, don't you think?
You gave them characteristics of people you met in your life no matter if the experience was good or bad. An OC doesn't have to inherit something positive of you. It always depends what you consider "your soul". In my case I consider every kind of experience that I made as part of my soul.
I also have characters that are absolutely loathsome simply because they are a part of the story. Murderers, torturers, etc but I still consider them a part of me because I have experience with that subject whether through movies and media or through happenings in my life.
The "soul" part is only my way to show my direct connection to everything I create or work with. I put my soul in every single work no matter if it's something positive or negative.

The stamp doesn't need to fit for everybody though. There are many people that do not really care about their original characters or work in general and that's okay too.

Hm, you make a solid point. I guess the difference lies in what I do consider my soul. Using how you're defining it, then yes, I would consider my characters a part of me. Usually, while I don't consider them part of my soul, I do consider them intertwined (unfortunately) with my emotions. Part of their characteristics were reactionary, such as my favourite being partially inspired by my bullies because of a deep desire to overcome my anger or hatred towards them. Then, she became her own. Again, that would be very intimate with the soul, but I consider my soul simply who I am now, and the person I have yet to become.

I agree. :) I saw it and thought it was an interesting thought. :P

I guess it's really mostly a point of view what the soul is. The whole thing gets really philosophical here :D

Anyway, it was nice to read about another point of view. It's always interesting to see what other people think of their characters and their connection with them.
