The creative process is associated with breaking from convention. By definition, creativity and originality involve the ability to produce something new or to interpret the familiar in a way that people haven't seen before. Because of this, it's no surprise that highly creative people tend to see and interact with the world differently from others, in ways that less imaginative people around them may not be able to follow or understand. In short, there's an expectation that artists are going to behave kind of oddly. Unlike their Evil Counterpart the Mad Artist, eccentric artists are relatively harmless Cloud Cuckoolanders. They may be annoying, perhaps even Insufferable Geniuses, but their eccentricity is not dangerous or destructive - or, in the worst cases, they're most likely only dangerous to themselves. They simply don't conform to social norms - to do so would stifle their creativity, and their art would suffer in quality as a result. By the same token, self-styled artists with more ego than talent are very likely to invoke this trope, using their "creative genius" as an excuse for ignoring their community's standards of acceptable behavior. Unlike the Bunny-Ears Lawyer, however, artistic ability is no guarantee that other people will tolerate the artist's behavior if it grows too obnoxious or outlandish, or that anyone else will understand the work of a true creative genius - at least not within their lifetime. Regardless, artistic creativity and eccentricity often go hand in hand, and an artist character is highly likely to be depicted as at least a little quirky, especially if the audience is meant to understand that their creative talent is genuine. Eccentric artists are highly prone to being Large Hams, Drama Queens, and/or Attention Whores, although such flamboyance is not a required element of their eccentricity. They may show up playing the role of Blithe Spirit or Manic Pixie Dream Girl to more straitlaced characters or may be the "doer" half of a Talker and Doer partnership. Specific subtypes include The Prima Donna and the Prima Donna Director. Also compare Ditzy Genius, where a character's high intelligence is offset by a lack of common sense and/or cluelessness about mundane subjects beneath their intellectual interests. Can also overlap with Eccentric Fashion Designer if they do fashion illustration and design. See Reclusive Artist, Sensitive Artist, and Starving Artist for other artist stereotypes. Heavily associated with True Art Is Incomprehensible. |

In The Gargoyle, Marianne Engel carves her grotesques with a manic obsession, eschewing food and sleep for days and days on end, leading to repeated hospitalizations and commitments. She believes that she is giving away her "thousands of hearts," and will die once she has given away the last one. Which she does. She also talks to herself in Latin and believes that she's Really 700 Years Old. Nonetheless, she is very kind and loving, and is the protagonist's Love Interest. | |

Horror fanatic Drama Heart in Manehattan's Lone Guardian is a nutcase at her best. She does things like hugging Leviathan to make her wake up, dancing around the room to music when cleaning Levi's frame and endoskeleton, and contemplating using a tail trimmer to remove the nose hairs of a few thieves. When she begins channeling her Burning Salamandra persona, she escalates fully into a bombastic Large Ham and half-insane storyteller with enough enthusiasm for her work to trigger Spontaneous Choreography just by willing it. | |

Ambrosius, the spirit inside the Staff of Creation, in RWBY.

In The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, affluent aspiring screenwriter Javi pursues his desire to script a Nicolas Cage movie through unconventional tactics. Some of these include paying Nick a million dollars to discuss his writings in person, renewing Nick's interest in storytelling by tricking him to help improvise an adventure, and sharing LSD with him when they need new ideas for the movie's plot. Javi's tactics all prove worth it, as moviegoers end up loving the completed film. | |

Discworld: Methodia Rascal in Thud! is famed for his incredibly in-depth and accurate painting of a famous battle from centuries ago. And also for thinking he was a chicken. As described in the page quote, Hwel the Playwright is seen as eccentric, partly for being a dwarf in an atypical profession, and partly because the neverending stream of inspiration particles that hit him include ideas that are well before their time, and the Disc's theatre industry has neither the technology to achieve or the cultural baseline to understand. |

The Great Gonzo from The Muppet Show comes up with acts like smashing up a car to the tune of "The Anvil Chorus", playing Eine kleine nachtmusik on the bagpipes while sitting on a flagpole, or reciting Percy Shelley's "To a Skylark" while disarming a bomb, so maybe "eccentric" is putting it mildly. | |

His dream is to bring the joy of Shakespeare made by him to another galaxy. That said, he's apparently pretty good at his day job - a GP (ear, nose, and throat). | |

According to his classmate Kuro, he's won every single art competition he entered, and when their school allows him to open a solo exhibition, which managed to draw in packs of visitors. However, he also has a very odd way of communicating, tends to narrate his emotions, regards his artworks as his friends, and otherwise has trouble focusing on other subjects beyond his interests. | |

From the Mass Effect series, there's an eccentric human director who puts on a production of Hamlet with an all-elcor cast. Elcor are an alien species who all speak in a slow, emotionless, monotone voice (which sounds like Eeyore), and convey emotion through pheromones and extremely subtle body language, neither of which can be detected by other species. For everyone else's benefit, they simply state the intended emotion of their next sentence before they say it, making a play with nothing but elcor an extremely boring concept. The director's idea was to "give audiences a chance to judge Hamlet by his deeds and not his emotions". The final production clocks in at fourteen hours long, but nevertheless goes on to become hugely successful. His next planned project? Macbeth... WITH KROGAN! | |

Duck Butter: Nima is an actress. Sergio is a singer. Both of them are kind of odd, though in a good way, and have long conversations on strange topics.

The title character of Anne of Green Gables has a very vivid and whimsical imagination that causes her caring but prosaic guardian no end of frustration and sometimes leads to mishaps like nearly drowning when she tries to act out the funeral of Elaine of Astolat in a leaky rowboat. Although even some of her closest friends can't help finding her a little strange at times, her flights of fancy make her a talented writer who could probably have made a successful career of it had she chosen. | |

He's completely unconcerned with money, has a number of weird hobbies, is rather awkward and easily manipulated, and is prone to ranting about electricity in the world.

Sousuke Taira in Our Two Bedroom Story is a popular writer of erotic fiction who's in high demand by editors for how well his work sells. He's also prone to doing things like running out of his apartment half-naked trying to chase after a (non-existent) woman he was dreaming about and insists on "acting out" love scenes with female editors for greater authenticity. The protagonist does her best to tolerate his behavior for the sake of his contract with the magazine she works for, but some other editors take a much dimmer view of his shenanigans. | |
