Questions and answers

What accessories suit an OC?

Ones that say something the outfit does not: a watch with no hands, a belt with extra holes punched by hand. Each line here gives the detail first, then what it suggests about the wearer.

How is this different from the props in the character design generator?

The character design generator deals props a character carries, such as a skateboard or a spellbook. Everything on this page is worn: on the head, the face, the neck, the hands, the waist or the feet.

Are there accessories for characters with tails or hooves?

Yes. Feet, ankles and tails holds a tail ring, a tail sleeve, hoof boots and a tail light beside the socks and sneakers. Antler buds and ear-tip rings sit in the head and face groups.

Do the accessories name brands?

No. Nothing here names a brand, a logo or an item from a film, a show or a game. Every accessory is described in plain words, so the design stays your own.
