Examples of Artist created Tulpa

[Sock]

This is something that I've been really keeping in mind when concerning this phenomenon. Over the years, I've heard scattered accounts from authors and other creative types about their characters "coming to life" when they get into their story enough. While before I heard of tulpa, I didn't really pay it much mind, I do admit to having a similar experience before creating Midori at one point.

 

But, in these accounts said creative types profess that their creations would often pipe up while the person was doing their work, may it be to encourage the person to keep up the good work, or to suggest something the character would do in a certain situation. I feel this sort of thing seems to have been generally ignored or overlooked in this community, at least it has rarely if ever been mentioned. I think that some of these accounts could very well give a slightly different perspective to tulpa, how their created, and in what volumes one can create them. As such, I'm creating this thread to archive examples of artists speaking about having their creations start talking to them from out of the blue. As for right now, I have two examples:

 

1. This account on the website, "Is it normal...?", where an author professes to have multiple characters of his come to life, and has kept many of them as companions.

 

2. These two pages ( 1 , 2 ) from the Japanese comic, Dragon Half. The author even claims that Osamu Tezuka had this happen with Astro Boy.

 

I believe finding more examples of these will help how tulpa are viewed, and will make it seem less like a very specific practice of mysticism. As an artist myself, who had the proverbial floodgates open on him when trying to purposefully induce this phenomenon, I think this can definitely help this phenomenon's image.

I was truly destined to make a tulpa two years later.

Aren´t these phenomenon just soulbounds though?

Also, Q2 is that seriously you? :O

 

Edit:

 

Ignore my ignorance, i completely missed the point of this.

It definitely seems like an interesting idea, i´ll be keeping a lookout for these whenever i read.

Somewhere in the depths of Bad RPers Suck!, there is a short post about the weird crazy roleplayers who actually think that their RP characters speak to them. There are also lots of comments underneath, about the phenomenon.

 

Unfortunately, because bad-rpers-suck is not indexed by Google for some incomprehensible reason, I cannot find that post. Sadface.

Yeah, it's actually me, two and a half years ago. Small world.

It's funny that between then and now, I stopped writing so often, forgot about my characters, forgot about that entire time in my life, discovered /x/, discovered tulpas, and then just recently remembered that all of that happened.

>no face when

As far as idols go I think I'm a bit away from the top ten list, but thanks.

Well, I wrote a short story. Should I make a tulpa based off the main character then?

Rihanna was a drug addict, eminem is properly one of the most fucked up people on the planet, Marilyn manson is hated by 99% of the population.

That doesn´t stop people from admiring them. Just because some part of peoples history or personality is fucked up, it doesn´t mean that, that is who they are (is that even a proper sentence?)

 

Edit:

I hope i din´t make you feel like a fucked up drug addict by saying this ;_;

Hopefully you understand what i mean.

Well, i used to "create" a story (with magic, fights and powerz and shit like that) in my head when i had nothing else to do, writing and dialogues were awfull, but the setting and power system were something i was proud of.

Whatever, the point is that Camellia is based on one of the main characters, except personalities are the exact opposite.
