Create an OC in BlockyTubbies
Farm Toasts, draw cleaner masks, and publish original characters for morph roleplay.
Original characters are the creative heart of BlockyTubbies. Premade morphs get you into roleplay fast, but the OC maker lets you design unique tubby-style characters with custom masks, colors, and accessories once you have enough Toast budget. This guide covers farming Custards into Toasts, planning an OC, practical mask drawing tips, and how community OC codes can speed up imports. Pair your finished look with Custom Animations so the morph moves the way you imagine.
If you are still learning teleports and tools, skim Getting Started first. Badge hunters can keep farming while creating by following All Badges on the same maps that drop Custards.
Custards to Toasts: funding your OC
Custards are collectibles spread across maps. Convert them into Toasts through the in-game economy, then spend Toasts on OC slots, mask detail, or upgrades depending on the current menu. Skipping the farm is the number one reason new creators stall with a half-finished face.
Efficient budget habits:
- Run Custard Facility loops on a private server when you need focused grind time.
- Teleport between dense maps instead of camping one empty field.
- Convert Custards often so you always know your spendable Toast total before opening the editor.
- Combine farming with easy badges such as Yummers so progress is never single-purpose.
- Check the Codes Hub for promos that grant currency or cosmetics.
Private servers reduce competition for spawns and give you quiet time to screenshot mask drafts without random morphs blocking the light.
Open the OC maker and plan the design
Before drawing, decide the character fantasy: infected survivor, friendly land resident, military experiment, dream entity, or comic relief. Write a one-line concept so colors and mask shapes stay consistent. Reference premade morphs from the Tier List and Players hubs for silhouette ideas, then deliberately change proportions so your OC is not a clone.
In the editor, explore:
- Body color and material options
- Mask or face canvas tools
- Accessory slots that fit your Toast budget
- Save / publish / equip flow back into the morph menu
Save drafts early. Long drawing sessions without saves risk losing work if you disconnect from a busy public server.
Mask drawing tips that actually help
The mid-page video focuses on getting better at mask drawing. Use these practical rules while you watch:
- Start with big shapes. Block in head outline, eye sockets, and mouth before tiny speckles.
- Limit the palette. Two or three strong colors read better at distance than ten muddy shades.
- Keep contrast high. Dark eyes on a bright face (or the reverse) help other players read emotion in Lobby.
- Mind the resolution. Tiny one-pixel doodles vanish on mobile; thicker strokes survive camera zoom.
- Symmetry vs charm. Perfect mirrors look polished; slight asymmetry can feel more handmade and memorable.
- Test in-world. Equip the OC, walk under Lobby lights and Dream map glow, then adjust colors that crush to black or blow out to white.
- Iterate. Duplicate a nearly finished mask and try one bold change instead of redrawing from zero every time.
If the canvas controls feel awkward on mobile, switch to desktop for detail passes, then fine-tune colors in-game.
Using OC codes and community imports
When the game or community supports shareable OC strings, browse OC codes for working imports. Always paste codes from trusted wiki or Discord posts, preview the result, and edit enough details that the character still feels yours. Codes are shortcuts, not a replacement for learning the editor.
Never pay outside Roblox for “rare OC unlocks.” Stick to official Toast sinks and legitimate code lists on this wiki.
Roleplay and presentation checklist
- Name the OC clearly so chat partners can address them.
- Equip a matching idle or walk from Custom Animations.
- Prepare a short backstory (three sentences max) for Lobby introductions.
- Choose a home map vibe: Teletubby Land for wholesome RP, Military Base or Research Lab for sci-fi horror, Dream for surreal scenes.
- Screenshot front, side, and action poses for your own reference board.
- Recheck accessories after morphing; some tools hide until re-selected.
Common mistakes
- Spending all Toasts on accessories before the mask is readable
- Copying a premade face so closely that friends cannot tell you apart
- Drawing only in the editor without testing under real map lighting
- Ignoring Custard farming until the budget hits zero mid-edit
- Forgetting seasonal props like the Scythe from Scythe Badge that could complete a Halloween OC look
What to do after your first OC
Publish, roleplay for a session, then revise based on what other players notice first. Many creators keep a simple daytime OC and a horror variant. Continue badge progress for tools and bragging rights via All Badges, follow story inspiration in Campaign Chapter 0 Walkthrough, and return to the Guides Hub whenever a new creation tutorial ships. Quality-of-life pages such as Scripts and Tools may help with recording or organization outside the editor, but your Toast farm and mask practice remain the real unlocks.
BlockyTubbies rewards players who treat OC design like a craft. Farm patiently, draw with contrast, test in real lighting, and your morph will stand out in any sixty-player Lobby.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common BlockyTubbies questions.
How do I afford a detailed OC in BlockyTubbies?
Collect Custards across maps, convert them into Toasts, and spend that budget in the OC maker. Private servers make farming faster and quieter.
Any quick tips for better masks?
Block in large shapes first, use a small high-contrast palette, thicken lines for mobile readability, and always test the OC under real map lighting.
What are OC codes?
Shareable strings that import community or preset OC data when supported. Use trusted lists on the OC codes page, then customize the result.
Should I still use premade morphs?
Yes. Premades are great for instant RP and references. Study them on the Tier List and Players hubs, then redesign silhouettes so your OC stays unique.
Can animations improve my OC?
Absolutely. After you save the look, follow the Custom Animations guide so walks, idles, and emotes match the character personality.
