how did you create designs based on each description? they're all just so unique and i wuv them vufuduf

IM A LITTLE BUZZED BUT I THINK THIS IS ASKING HOW I MADE DA MISATOS JUST BASED ON THE CORPSE PARTY NAMETAG STUFF? PLS FORGIVE ME IF IM WRONG. BUT I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVR TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
Honestly when the misatos first started out they were NOT all that unique from each other (for a while there akihiko and mitsuharu were practically carbon copies of each other - even their old hairstyles were practically the same except mitsuharu’s ahoge pointed up while akihiko's pointed down) and it took a lot of time to really develop them into who they are today! for a few of them i actually had some vague scraps of canon material to work off of (canonically kain and yuma have handwritten notes you can find throughout the same, plus you actually meet and interact with yoshiyuki as a ghost) so I kind of started with those parts and worked from there! Kain and mitsuharu being very close was the only canonical relationship within the corpse party game so I put a LOT of emphasis on them at first. Quite a few of the misatos had different personalities when they were first conceptualized too! Hatto was much more soft spoken and shy, while mitsuharu was a lot more of a sort of aimlessly cheerful, almost ditzy type. Yuma even had a completely different initial design and KAIN was the initial tsundere of misatoverse. I really think the biggest thing that contributed to how their personalities changed and developed was meeting more people. Quite a few of the misatos are inspired by my friends (for example the most obvious one is how sonic-influenced mitsuharu is and how much he contributed to his development into the character he is today) and observing the quirks from people I knew made the misatos become more like real people to me too. Like I was a total friendless loser in middle school when I made the initial 10 misatos! I created them in 7th grade around the time I talked about in a previous answer and didn’t have a very good grasp on normal interactions between people at that time. I think that that even contributed to why I sort of moved on from the misatos around 9th grade and only got back into them in 11th grade when I began to actually make real friends for the first time and learned how people interact with each other… at its core misatoverse has always just been this friend group I’ve dreamed up in my mind and I love trying to view the world through their eyes, considering their thoughts and feelings on stuff around them. This answer got so long i just really wanted to talk about the process of how the misatos became so important to me
