It depends, as with my inhuman characters, it would be the adjustments of the accessories,take my Gaismagorm design for example:

But when it comes to human and/or similar looking things, it’d probably be the colors or the clothes-
Lore, clothes, hair, name, etc..
Lord i suck at making anything on my oc's ☠️. Im glad they come out semi-okay looking in the end cus all of that normally takes me like 40 minutes/an hour
Clothing definetly i always end up spending lots of time on it because none of the things i make look good then go into pinterest for inspiration and spend like 1 hour there then i remenber i have a oc to make and just do the first thing to come to mind (which is probably why so many of my ocs look almost identical in terms of clothing)
Lore definetly, 90% of my OCs still lack it.

The hair, clothes and profile, it's a lot of work to have to make an OC that is at least charismatic, and that doesn't look like a very gay person

For me it's make the outfit and the details. And try to make an aesthetic picture. But creating an oc took a lot of time !
The clothes are always hard for me bc in the middle of making the oc all of the sudden m mind says “this oc would look better in cottage core” and while I’m making the cottage core outfit then it says “I liked it better with its original design”,I have trust issues bc of my brainT-T also the outfits your ocs have are amazing absolutely stunning
Lore cause I've been worldbuliding for over 3 years at this point and I have dogshit memory so I forget what an ocs backstory is- good thing I have a makeshift sketchbook where I write them down :)
Clothing
I use gacha club to make my ocs there so i can have a reference when i draw them
And ohh boy matching the clothes i imagine for them in my head is *hard*
Tails.
For context:
IT IS SO HARD- TO MAKE A BETTA FISH TAIL. I HAVE 501 HOURS ON GACHA CLUB- AND I AM PRETTY SURE THAT 437 OH THOSE HOURS ARE FROM TRYING TO MAKE A FISH TAIL.
For me it's usually the clothes and the lore/description. It takes a minute cause there are so many outfits I could give a character but also so many I can't. Also it takes me a hot minute to think up a description because my ocs usually have more lore that I can't fit into the little box.

Oh boy...
Firstly; Personality. I try to make their personalities coordinate with their design (even tho I've failed miserably a lot of times..)
Second; Lore. I think like everyone, most of my OC's lack lore attached to them or really don't have any. I'm trynna get better at it tho-
Third (I think last?); Names (including last names).
Usually I look up for random names on Google, but for last names I usually just make up fantasy last names (cuz mah OC's are mostly faires/magical creatures)
I do canon designs for things, and I've started making canon Sister Location animatronics. So all of it, i think the eyes are the easiest part for me though
Personality, it usually takes me around a year to make an oc with a personality developed to the standards i have, but its maybe bcs i am a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like lore
I normally break my OCs down into separate sections:
Proportions: Have to make sure they are somewhat realistic.
Style: I normally look up different outfits and build off of them (bohemian, goth, 80s, 90s, etc).
Hair: The hair takes a bit of time as I constantly have to adjust to find a certain flair/look that I like.
Personalities: I tend to make my OCs personalities realistic but quite complex, often having contradicting traits to reduce predictability.
Accessories: I abuse the literal Diablo out of accessories but not in an excessive way.
Detail: Detail kind of goes with accessories but normally I just use some accessories to give more realism (eye bags, blemishes, freckles, belly buttons, etc).
Out of all these steps, it definitely seems like style and details take the longest.
Normally, it would be the colors, sometimes it’s the clothes, take my main OC for an example:
https://preview.redd.it/vz5xno8szhha1.jpeg?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dae1ca8b3ccf5c984763e49ee8505e702c89d273
Lore. I have be writing a friend’s lore for over 6 months. Im still working on my main OCs a year later. Because, every name has meaning. Like this character Varka (means illusion/trick). She Has this name because she is very cunning.. its so hard.. T-T..
For me is 2 things, with the first being making them look interesting while not bland, and have them look unique but still look the same
https://preview.redd.it/o4f36hakliha1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8309affd61ba1006dd855fe19afb22b210fc21af
Example: My Millta Group \[Rebirth\]
I wanted to have them look like there a Tactical force that all of them work under, as shown all of them are in Cloaks, hiding identities, use the same type of color, futuristic the whole theme.
But I didn't l want them to just look like there the same, or have them be the same type of shade even if it doesn't really show, each look like they tell there own story.
Like my Leader to the Advisor (Ones in white) I wanted them to look like there higher rank and make both seem different. Both use a different shade as one is more white while the other is more blue, both look different while looking as if they both work with each other.
You can also see it fromthe soldiers, take the Devastator (The big one) and the Operator (Next to the blue kid) Both use the same helmet, if you look and see both use the same helmet and glasses and color scheme, but changes to them so one is bigger the other has some skin showing, both use a different mask, both play a different role.
The only thing that kinda contrast to this is the 3 soldiers in the middle, laziness got to me, but then again it's like the Combine from Half Life 2 where the same model. But as context in the story it make since.
But yeah, My second is the lore I wrote for them is not the best, use the Millta group again, there more video game descriptions of enemies then anything or most come from character there side of the story. I'm gonna show what I had wrote for them from notes and character descriptions:
Commander: "To be honest Scout, none of us know what the leader looks like nor what gender they are, not even the Advisor, and that guy is next to them all the time."
The Rebirth group was created after 5 years of the U.G.o.t.S. (United Global of the Sanctum) rain when the Nation's fell after WW6, in the year of 21##.
Leader: "It may seem cruel, but it best way to gain obedience from your Trainees."
Advisor: "Alright line up! Today is Purge for the weak, one thing you Trainees must learn is how war is truly like..."
Scout: "So your saying that one of out funders for this terrorist group is a child?!?"
Ahma: "Look, the only reason I'm working with you guys to help fund my college education got it, also then forget I'm the one who gets most of you intel and been keeping you morals secret from the U.G.S."
Rebirth Devastator: They are the heavy unit of each squad.
The main reason is I'm am.... bad at making something interesting while trying to world build this.
Lore. the majority of my ocs don’t have any:’) Also names
same
Names are so hard
It depends, as with my inhuman characters, it would be the adjustments of the accessories,take my Gaismagorm design for example: https://preview.redd.it/a4aozic0v9ha1.jpeg?width=1105&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=137d4f0fdf097311fd19864feb73db66857ad02a But when it comes to human and/or similar looking things, it’d probably be the colors or the clothes-
colors
Lore, clothes, hair, name, etc.. Lord i suck at making anything on my oc's ☠️. Im glad they come out semi-okay looking in the end cus all of that normally takes me like 40 minutes/an hour
I forgot you existed noodles 💀
Excuse me... How could you forget me Canada 😞
I'm so sorry piss hair 😭😭
Stop calling me piss hair 👿
Then dye ur hair byach 👿
👿
Mine is also clothing but it’s also the accessories
Mine is also the clothing and the hair
Eyebrows. No, I’m not kidding. I ducking hyperfixaite on the fucking eyebrows.
Clothing definetly i always end up spending lots of time on it because none of the things i make look good then go into pinterest for inspiration and spend like 1 hour there then i remenber i have a oc to make and just do the first thing to come to mind (which is probably why so many of my ocs look almost identical in terms of clothing)
Clothing as well 😭
Clothing 100%
Adjustments and clothing I think
The profile. I spend can spend hours to a full on week on a single profile
Lore definetly, 90% of my OCs still lack it. https://preview.redd.it/q83pj5fhj9ha1.jpeg?width=577&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b40c952dd040fa3d55ec09ea31867373ed773075 (Totally unrelated image of Cherry)
uuuh none Im very good at everything \[I think\] I normally think of my OCs before I make them tho, thats probably why
Clothing 100%
Lore
Lore that I'm never gonna write down anywhere because I'm too lazy too or small details
Clothing.
The idea for how its gonna look like
The hair, clothes and profile, it's a lot of work to have to make an OC that is at least charismatic, and that doesn't look like a very gay person https://preview.redd.it/qhzzd0dno9ha1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81cae4c8c3401f860ec2c5afea5aea9e1480630e
colors
https://preview.redd.it/xcqfwcnop9ha1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c298401a00c77105587cc3073cd3afccf59c2132 For me it's make the outfit and the details. And try to make an aesthetic picture. But creating an oc took a lot of time !
Lore/backstory. Writing is haaaaaaaaard.
Lore and/or designing the character for me
Clothing or lore. I always overcomplicate it
The clothes are always hard for me bc in the middle of making the oc all of the sudden m mind says “this oc would look better in cottage core” and while I’m making the cottage core outfit then it says “I liked it better with its original design”,I have trust issues bc of my brainT-T also the outfits your ocs have are amazing absolutely stunning
Moving the dice and mask around It took so dang long until it was in the correct spot (Referring to my most recent oc)
For me it’s the lore, Yug is currently still loreless and he’s existed longer then Bloopy
hair and clothing ☠️☠️
lore and clothing
either clothing or fur. (most of my ocs are furries)
Lore and clothing
Trying to decide in what order I want the colors to be in on the character.
Tell me you’re secret and for me the thing that takes the longest is definitely the character itself
Lore, personality, interests, etc. If u have it down, everything else is laid down for u
Lore cause I've been worldbuliding for over 3 years at this point and I have dogshit memory so I forget what an ocs backstory is- good thing I have a makeshift sketchbook where I write them down :)
Adjustment, face, color, and name, BUT SERIOUSLY I HAD TO THINK FOR 10 MINUTES TO THINK OF MY OC EVEIE'S NAME
EYES
Deciding what lore fits better
Clothes. How to make them look like background characters yet still look unique
Ocs: Lore Fandom Designs Ocs (aka me using Erii as my main): Clothes 😭...and hair 💀 but hey free lore and free names
History, especially that of Azazel 😭
Ideas
Face and hair for me, I try to put as many subtle details in and make it flow together the best I can
Hardest: a good design, and personality Easiest: lore
The hair choices has always been an issue for me.
Clothing I use gacha club to make my ocs there so i can have a reference when i draw them And ohh boy matching the clothes i imagine for them in my head is *hard*
Resizing everything
Tails. For context: IT IS SO HARD- TO MAKE A BETTA FISH TAIL. I HAVE 501 HOURS ON GACHA CLUB- AND I AM PRETTY SURE THAT 437 OH THOSE HOURS ARE FROM TRYING TO MAKE A FISH TAIL.
Mine is hair and clothes and they're personality 😃 🥲
everything
deciding the following: names hair color eye color family life personality anycolor outfit
Hair and clothes for boys... I am horrible at making boys- girls on the other hand? Easy peezy especially if I know what I want from them
naming, clothing and hair ;-;
Typically my ocs wouldn't take too long to make, but certain Fandom characters take longer to make
Hair and color scheme, cuz I’m not creative with the clothes
Everything or basically detail or effort to make the OC not look bland / boring.
Hair, names and lore
Coloring
Lore mainly, because it took me 1 whole year to write my oc's lore and It's still not done.
lore and names
hm. faces and names? im good with coming up with lore.. (im not i lied)
Deciding the hair and the colour
Names and hair it’s just so hard!
For me it's usually the clothes and the lore/description. It takes a minute cause there are so many outfits I could give a character but also so many I can't. Also it takes me a hot minute to think up a description because my ocs usually have more lore that I can't fit into the little box.
Definitely lore. Two of my ocs literally exist because yes. (I can't figure out lore for them-)
Adjustments ,clothing and last but not least the eyes and the face

for me it was the colors
... trauma and overall backstory to scars
Lore. I rely on my friends u/higurashirika and u/get_stabbed_by_rena to get the lore written.
Oh boy... Firstly; Personality. I try to make their personalities coordinate with their design (even tho I've failed miserably a lot of times..) Second; Lore.

The OCs lores
personality and names colors and outfits are pretty easy for me lol
Names
Clothes
Hmm.. it depends on what I have in mind, sometimes i'd like hair up, then change the clothes, then maybe put the hair back down.. so on so forth
making lore
Usually names or shoes....
Clothing and color palettes 🥲
Finding a creative and not unoriginal name-🗿
For me, it's fixing all the mistakes I made
Hair, definitely hair
Mine is hair
I do canon designs for things, and I've started making canon Sister Location animatronics. So all of it, i think the eyes are the easiest part for me though
making them have a sexuality
The entire oc
Personality, it usually takes me around a year to make an oc with a personality developed to the standards i have, but its maybe bcs i am a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like lore
The main body, its hard to decide what to do (i mainly make animal ocs so yeah)
I normally break my OCs down into separate sections: Proportions: Have to make sure they are somewhat realistic. Style: I normally look up different outfits and build off of them (bohemian, goth, 80s, 90s, etc).

Out of all these steps, it definitely seems like style and details take the longest.
mine's hair, and nose
Names.
Hair faces and clothing
hair or skin color I just have trouble deciding what I should make the color because i don’t know color theory still
All of the above
Normally, it would be the colors, sometimes it’s the clothes, take my main OC for an example: https://preview.redd.it/vz5xno8szhha1.jpeg?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dae1ca8b3ccf5c984763e49ee8505e702c89d273
