Does YOUR sona look like you?
Not at all!
Not at all
my sona [in my pfp and my first video] is just like a more stylized cybernetic version of me so a little bit
I have 2 sonas, one is a dragon (so it very obviously looks like me) and the other is what I want to look like in the future :)
My persona is REAL different from me,the similarity from us is how artsy we are...heh😋
Reminder: someone drawing themselves/their sonas chubby when they're thin irl ISNT. FETISHISING. CHUBBY PEOPLE. it's even so annoying when people get mad at thin people drawing themselves chubby, but when chubby people draw themselves thin OHHH THAT'S FINE???? BOTH ARE OKAY MAN :(
SAY IT LOUDER! SAY IT LOUDER! SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
Dude, should I remind you situation with person who draw Rose from Stiven universe skinny?
@@Shota-Boy男の子OuOwhat does that have to do with this? Is that a persona??
Plumper lover denial award
My friends persona is chubby because they have trouble gaining weight, so it brings them comfort for their sona to be a healthier weight
My persona is literally a shrimp. Nobody can stop the crustacean nation
You are a certified "Prawn Ready" person
So real

“People don’t like it when you’re creative”
Thats literally the definition of people on social media in general
God the beginnings are so out of context love it
@Alky64 my bad
@@theflowersofthemoon Who??
This topic is a curiosity for me, a persona can be anything u want and it sucks how people like creeps take advantage of it. Heck, I have TWO personas!! It's just fun to make and to represent yourself, it just makes people insecure saying people don't look like their persona, but that's a good thing to be creative! :>
I have 2. Both have backstories, some trauma, and possession abilities. Yes, they are both simultaneously OC’s and Persona’s.
as someone who has at least 3 (a ‘blank’ one i don’t know what to do with, one that’s literally just a green floating scarf, a robot villain one, and one i made that one time dubbed latin fantasy (plan to make other fantasy ones maybe someday)) yep!!
I have three
1 is my main sona
2 are pseudo-sonas, they are manifestations of parts of me lol
Same cause one of them is my main and the small one is just a human version of my main sona which I barely use...
@@MoonlikescookieXDI thought a persona wasn't just to represent your experiences lol
my persona is basically a cartoon version of myself, but in the past i considered cooler stuff, like an alien guy or aquatic type person. in the end i liked my human persona the most, but its still fun to experiment with all sorts of different designs
No literally I drew myself with elf like ears in my sketch book and showed it to my mom and she was like “you don’t have ears like that👆🤓”
Edit: ty for 1k likes
i draw my persona with fluffier hair and my sister went. thats unrealistic. so i got self consious and started drawing straighter hair but i think i want to go all out and draw myself as a boy:)
@@黄桃aawe I’m sorry that happened but don’t listen to her when she says stuff like that! I draw myself with really fluffy hair and my hair is wayyy less fluffy art doesn’t have rules so draw what you want and be yourself :3
I draw myself a bit fatter than I am, much shorter, almost like an elf, and with an Afro, kinda like Sr Pelo, and when I show it to people they always say “but you’re hair is not like that”, “you’re not that short” or the one I hate the most “you make yourself look like Sr Pelo” just because I draw me with and Afro and white skin.
I hate showing my art to my family
One my mom is homophobic and two she just hates the things I draw but I don’t really care because it’s my art and I get to chose what I make
3:32 my genuine reaction to this drawing was legit “wait…is that infe- ITS INFECTED OMG-“😭

REAL I HAD THE SAME REACTION RAHHHH

My persona is me but with green hair, red eyes, no need for glasses, and an actually decent sense of fashion (oh and also large anime eyes which would look DISTURBING irl)

Dude that's LITERALLY the EXACT description of mine! (She doesn't have my glasses)
Even like- I genuinely want her outfits like- AAGGH-
BRO MY PERSONA ALSO HAS GREEN HAIR WITHOUT MY GLASSES-
Is that also your profile picture?
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan Omg! How did you guess???!?!
The way I feel about sonas is this; it should be an outlet to express yourself, just like any other art. It fundamentally shouldn't just be YOU. Even if you want it to look completely different, that's ok. It doesn't need to look like you. I'll give an example, I am transfem, so my sona is much more feminine than I am irl (I'm scared to come out to family/friends). It also just shows the anonymity of the internet. Being anonymous on the internet is half the point of the internet, at least how I think.
@@Coridosa exactly!! and tysm!!
earlier i saw someone hating on someone's oc saying that they make it look like they are as pretty as the oc irl, but it was obviously NOT a persona, the creator even claiming so (im pretty sure) so i addressed this to the commenter and they said "personas are stupid"...... like... okay! people trying to connect and express who they want to be is very stupid! /sarc
Bro sometimes I feel like society is cooked 😭. Cant people just shut up if its not affecting anyone? 💀🙏
@@I_doart-q8l Exactly!!
@Most-sane-deltarune-fan wait you like deltarune too?! >:)

1:47 OMG yes I love Nirami/vee She is so fun and silly :3

REALLLLL
YESSSSSSS

@ love the J pfp
My main sona is my ponysona. Personas looking like yourself is so silly, embodiment can mean anything, lol.
Is that what your profile picture is of?
DAN DA DAN FANART!!!!!!!
also yeah people think that it's catfishing...
I've always struggled with my self image and i've cried because I couldnt draw a sona that looks enough like me so I don't cat fish people..
and honestly this makes me want to make two
one which represents me and who i want to be and my interests
and me the trans kid whos on his own journey to get there so over time it can develop
and maybe one day ill only have one sona
:)
(edit: I NEED TO GET ON THE PLUS SIZE BODY STUDIES STAT I COOKED WITH THIS IDEA)
I LOVE MAKING PERSONAS THAT DONT LOOK LIKE ME LMAO!!! ALSO I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH
SO ME
4:44 “so if you don’t like it don’t interact” WELL I LOVE THIS UA-camR AND THERE CONTENT SO I WILL INTERACT 😋
Me too.
it doesnt, it can be anything!
a glass door?
@ yes :3
As someone who has a persona who’s scene but isn’t scene in irl I RELATE 2 THIS SMMM!!! If you grow up in a strict house hold like me, it’s not Normal to wear stuff like scenes. But I think scenes match my chaotic-ness perfectly, so my persona is a scene:3
one of my personas has a scene outfit (i have 3 personas💔)
DAS SO AMAZING!!11!1!1 X3 Also I’m really sorry u grew up in such a strict family
My persona is literally an star with a suit JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJS
that actually sounds adorable wtf-
@Pancake_Catx_Arcade Actually It's like those object shaped head oc, but it's great you think that!
(Sorry for My English ;-;)
@@Wh0sF1nn Still cool though-
Mine is so hard to describe lol, like a ball with 4 colors, 3 cards, 4 eyes, cat arrow ears, a star as whatever... Nothing you imagine is how they actually look like an that's why I can't describe jt

I love your rendering style, you inspired me to start rendering my art instead of doing lazy shading. For awhile I didn't know who I could take inspiration from, so your speed paints did in face help me improve my art a lil more. Thanks + lots of love
1:00 why is this so real.
Some random person: "cmon be creative i will support you."
Also the same person: "why would you draw a cactus with a hat ?"
Like cmon you told me to be creative 😔, why are you mad?
I saw a comment on another art video saying
“Be creative! Be imaginative”
“Ew no not like that”
mine's literally a bag over its head, shirt and sweatpants and glasses. like what 😭 you can make your sona represent yourself it doesn't have to BE YOU your point is valid and I totally agree w you
like ive literally never been able to stick with a sona due too major self image issues but making one that is not me just drawn is so much better, as well it keeps a level of privacy imo .
btw im curious if youd ever make a vid talking about the issues with adoptables? nf ofc
3:14 INFECTEDDDDD
REGRETEVATRRRR
IT DOESNT😭😭It pisses me off when people just want personas to look like the person irl bc I ain't looking like a wizard dog
YOURE NOT A WIZARD DOG??? /silly
but FRRR
@ IKR HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE😭😭😭😭😭😭
AAA I LOVE NIRAMI 😭😭😭❤❤
(This video is so real btw, ppl do so much just for a small critique that won't affect their lives whatsoever.)
Love the Gyaru drawing and scene drawing!
Thanks!
thank YOU!!! 😄🖤
Wait, yes this is a good topic.
BUT STILL
KEI LOOKS SO GOOD!!! i love dan da dan♡!
This made me feel a lot better bc everytime I make it persona I always make them plus sized bc my friend always asked why I make them skinny, while I liked expanding my body knowledge everything they said put me in so many boxes that i can’t even enjoy my personas as much or even some of my art so thanks again for making this vid❤
4:57 infected MY CHILD (also i hope ure doing better :D)
I love how you show your speed paints in every video! The way you render is sooooo satisfying to watch
My persona is like a hyperbole of my personality and looks, their hair is fluffy and short(i have short hair but its not fluffy) and switches between tall and short, usually being short, I am 5’2, my persona shares the same age as me. Personas represent you as a person not exactly what you look like.
OMG YOU MENTIONED NIRAMI!! BOTH OF YOU GUYS ARE MY IDOLS OMG
Hi bre!!! Thank you for saying this because I’ve wanted to make mine a lil more…unique but everyone is telling me to keep it this way❤❤❤
You can have multiple, so go wild!
honestly i find this whole thing just ridiculous. why do people always seem to care about random strangers online draw themselves as, as long as it isn’t harmful or offensive? my sona looks nothing like me because that’s just my preference. however, others would rather have a sona that looks really similar to them. why should i care? we’re both just random people on the internet, probably trying to have a good time.
went on a bit of a rant. whoops. anyway, as always, definitely agree :) love your art by the way !! the way you use colors is really pleasing to the eye ^_^
someone put this person into an art controversy debate because HOLY GUACAMOLE your points are as clear as day

My sona is extremely ethereal and surrealist. I don’t look like that but it says more about me than my face
0:46 Mines a blue cat with white hair with the expression of nah id win
mine's a little bunny with floppy ears, long brown hair, a red halo, black angel wings with creepy eyes on them, pink glasses, red eyes, and she wears a pastel outfit
My persona is literally a modern angel, I changed the eye color and clothing style and made sure it doesn't look too much like me because I feel uncomfortable with showing my real life appearance online too much
Overal, I agree with you, I'm so glad you spoke up about this, thanks!
Okay no that is the most stupid idea I have heard. OC'S ARE CHARACTERS. If you wanna make ur oc look like you thats okay! But if you want every OC to look like the OC's creator? Nope.
Real, also people think ocs are bad and hate them when if you really hate them, you can't like any shows, any movies, any books and EVERYTHING because ocs are fckjnf Original Characters. Get with it. R/rant
One of the perks of art is that it doesn't have to be realistic, we have the ability to create whatever we want (and people are jealous). Also I think designing a persona that represents an inner or alternative you is a very fun concept to play with
1:56 tails you cant be saying that man
I must admit this is a very interesting topic, I sometimes wonder whether I should make my persona look more like my real self or not, but I think a persona isn't really just drawing yourself, to me a persona is like a representation of you and your creativity loosely based on how you see yourself. (I did not explain that very well, sorry 😅)
real like my sona is literally a half zombie school-girl (an old one of mine was a neon blue haired scene girl who was inspired off ghoulia from monster high!!)
RAAAHHHHH INFECTED DRAWING
my sona has heterochromia (indigo on left, black on right), purple hair (i had it before), blue craft ears and a tail with a cup on it (based on a character from my fav game), and other then that it looks only a smidge like me. they have my hatsune miku shirt, short hair, skintone (because ERM I AM NOT RCTA), and eyes similar to mine (i don’t have heterochromia, but i do have blue eyes.). MY SONA DOESNT LOOK LIKE ME and thats fine! sometimes i draw IRL me, other times i just draw my sona because they’re fun to draw. i don’t get how people don’t understand how your sona doesn’t have to look like you irl…
Literally I agree with most points here :3!! I personally don’t have my persona to look like me CAUSE I AM NOT gonna have people coming for how I look irl, like booooo tomato
But also , because of how weirdos sexualize people and stuff ( take jaidenanimations sona for example )
It’s worse since it’s based off of her/is a representation of her!
I feel like the further away your sona “looks like you” the less creepy or weird it’ll be if you see content like that made of yourself/sona like that
These people probably don't get that my sona is what my soul looks like, not me.
Fr
My sona being a chaotic god who is highly hyperactive and colorful: well, that's not so unrealistic...
@@YourMuseBillCiphermy sona is fallen demon and has so many mutations she looks like an oc my younger self would create
omg I would have absolutely NEEDED this video when designing my sona 😭
4:34 eraser would like that shirt
Bfdi fan!!!
Bfdi
BFDI(OR TPOT) MENTIONED
ur irl oc on the thumbnail still ate tho ❤️
Gelp my persona only has a leaf on her head and shes BALD😭
My persona is a literal ruperts drop, thinking of making the way I draw myself as an actual human look more like it because yes and for fun
Nope! I have multiple but my most well known is a psycho stick gurl named Stick Gurl who likes to torture the other OCs.
When I succumb to male pattern baldness I will use shoe polish, silver polish, hose water, and mercury to polish my head and have what the Victorians called a “fly rink”
My main persona is a pale, pink haired girl but irl I'm half black and half vietnamese ☠️ No reason for it, just felt like it
Awesome! /gen :)
i see art-sonas as costumes to preform something like a stage name for example theres a woman named nancy smith (she doesn't exist) who is a preformer on a stage and her stage name is naughty nancy and her name is based on how of a pranksrter she is
Bruh the most annoying thing thing is when people call my OC that I voice my name. Or treat my OC like they are me. LIKE DUDE IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON! YOU WOULDN'T CALL BUGS BUNNY "MEL BLANC"!!
Being creative is the whole point of art, so people should be able to make their sonas look however they want :]
(lovely Infected art btw)
A persona doesnt HAVE to look like you. It can literally be anything you want as long as it represents you :)
i think the only way a persona can be bad is if it's representing something toxic or sad
like for example: if somebody makes their sona have a certain facial feature or hair texture that they wish they could have because it's an ongoing deep insecurity and hatred they have of themselves
toxic in the sense of it's toxic to themselves and i think it's sad people should have to express that through an oc.
Why is this even a debate am I that out of the loop with the art community lmao .. my persona is blue and tan and he’s got a white Mohawk (surprise I don’t look like that)
I genuinely enjoyed that art you made! I really love the overall look and style of the characters ^^
I can’t wait for the day somebody looks at me and says “your sona doesn’t look like you”. I’m a regular trans man, and my sona is a 8 foot tall monster with digitigrade legs , a long ass tail , horns made out of fur, and a mouth for a face . No shit it doesn’t look like me .
All jokes aside , I think having a sona that doesn’t look like you is perfectly fine ((as long as it’s not for some weird purpose)) !
Mine is an eye in a suit with wings for ears! 😀
Not only is making a persona that doesn't look like you fun, it is also great for anonymity. Vtubers have been doing this for years, so the discourse really is strange, lol.
HeroFourever is a vtuber and they have a really cute alien character as a representation of themselves. I just love seeing their character's sharp teeth whenever Hero is excited.
persona's definition is as follows: "the aspect of someone's character that is presented to or perceived by others."
Basically, its what YOU as a creator want the audience to relate to you as.
I’m a girl but my persona is a man😋
🥚
“We know what you are”
@ SHHHHHHHH🤫🧏♂️
(They can’t know yet)
lmao one of my sonas was a man but ive never felt any dysphoria before nor have i ever wanted to be a man..
My persona is the most genderfluid and whatever sona cause they can literally change their body like they want and my pronouns are just the 3 basic ones
I feel like my persona is like me, but with more energy than I usually have. It makes me feel better abt myself. I really like this topic :D
my sona is just me but in little doodle form and I give myself little horns and a tail. which I obviously don’t have those, but they’re fun to draw :)
your rendering style is ~mwah
I like somtimes draw my sona bc whatever i want to. Ppl have to respect creators' sonas plllllllllllsssss!!!!!!!!!
Thanks featuring my art bre✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS RECENTLY 😭
My persona is my daydreaming how I wanna look in the future…and I also have a male persona and sometimes I draw myself (bc my friends want to see how I draw myself) but yeah I think a persona is how you want to look like bc yeah and yeah….have a great day fam😼😎💶💴💴💴💷💷💳💳💴💶💶💶💴💳💰
Edit: 5:02 relatable take your time queen okay🫶
I’ve been thinking of making a sona for when I make videos for either UA-cam or TikTok, but I don’t like drawing myself so I was basically planning on making an oc that just has all the stuff I like and my vibe as my sona.
no... mine is just what I WANT to look like because it gives me confidence
Hope you are well Bre! and thank you for covering this topic, i really wanted the hear your opinion on this specific matter

The intro was so beautiful
Wait a second… are you drawing infected from regretevator?? MY FAVORITE CHARACTER?? 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
OH EM GEE REGRETEVATOR FAN RAAAAAAA-
Same!
Yeah, my sona would look like me if I was skinned and dumped into radioactive matter - I mean, my username kind of IS the persona lol. Have your sona be whatever you want or like, if it resonates with you, work with it and embrace it!
5:19 hehe.. I wonder who dat 0_0Skitty0_0 person is..... (Its me)
I LOVE dat art u made of Infected it looks so cool
I have two versions of my sona- one that i use for more detailed art, and one that i use more for silly purposes- aka, a more simple design that i can doodle quickly. My sona is literally a plush humanoid cat- and the more silly version of my sona is 2 feet tall...so no, I don't think sonas have to look like you, they're just supposed to represent you ! I find it pretty silly that people are getting mad about that- sonas in the art community that don't look like their creators at all have existed for YEARS !!! So i find it weird that it's suddenly a problem?? ;D then again, the art community (especially in tik tok from what i know-) has been getting a lot more toxic- i guess it shouldn't be a surprise that people are getting mad at something like that- :b
dude my sona has like insane lore about being a representation of GRAVITY ITSELF!! people can do whatever they want with their sonas its awesome
For the commission ♡♡♡♡ I love your art and videos :3
@@xhioststudios thank you!!
I agree with all this. Make your sona however the frick you want. I choose to make my sonas as similar to me because I want them to be... well... me! And that's okay if you don't, it's okay either way! Do what you want with you (be nonchalant with screws.) One thing that I wanna add is having more than one sona, I think that's okay too. Like I have different sonas for different fandoms I'm in. I don't know much about the hate being pushed out but I feel like if having a sona that doesn't look like you gets hate, I feel like that would get hate too. (Also INFECTED SPOTTED WUH /silly)
This was the longest 5 mins ever and I enjoyed ever single second of it
3:44 This means like if you're American you can't make your sona African or something if it's meant to represent you right? Like I would want to change my sonas skintone to something other than mine because I'd just like it better lol, plus I would not at all keep my sona close to what I look like, it's just not as fun to draw
Plus what if someone has like a bit of Hispanic or something in them, would it be ok to make their sona more Hispanic?
(These races have nothing to do with me btw I just wanted to use examples)
Idk I just want feedback on this lol
imo yeah thats fine! as long as you’re not drastically changing their features
yes i dont know why i just like it like that
