How do you guys get your creative juices flowing

Everyone's ocs are super unique and stuff, and theres me with literally a cyan ashura with a blue scarf, might aswell just go back to being AshuraSpeedster when a year passes if i dont manage to make a good original oc before i can rename myself at this point

Looking at stuff........ Yeah that's it, i understood the message at the end of the day, what do you like the most?
Ice-cream? then make an ice-cream character and make him cool :/, yeah just think and look at shit, that's how i made my "OC" you could say before anybody knew about my existence and how i discovered this guy named the "Dark Andy" or something, plus i can't really say he copied me because i never published any kind of art, he made a YouTube channel, but i haven't, And his hair is almost the same as mine but white,
Scence I'm a sonic fan too, why not make a character out of a few things in the games? i can probably make myself suffer though a few hours and try to make something out of the fucking name, idk, i can only say, look at stuff, the best explanation i can give for this.

Plus in my opinion you're name is better than AshuraSpeedster,
Make something out of what you mostly like, if not then you could probably make a better version of "Old OC's or whatever,
Ok now you say you have 5 months to make an OC? no problem take you're time, That's enough time to Draw and Think about what it should be.

Oooh ok
Thats cool
Fun fact i actually mafe a cuphead oc called madeline milkshake, if u wanna see it its on my twitter @b_quillstudios and i made a new sonic oc that ill redesign either today or tomorrow (i also posted him there)

I get mine flowing by getting a breath of fresh air. Helps with Multiversal Madness.
