Heh, anony[I]miss[/I]. Oh wait, this is a commissioned picture. Doggone it. Which means...

[QUOTE=Jackald;36047115]The trick would be to put in the least amount of effort to gain the most amount of followers.[/QUOTE] offer a points raffle. It costs $5 for 100 of them. Title a crappy but vaguely trendy picture "[X amount] points givaway!", list in your details that in order to be entered for the givaway people need to favorite it, watch you, and feature the image on a journal tell your friends to join in too! :)
Quick question, what's your guys' opinions on [I]actual[/I] original characters that aren't part of any fandom? Since I drifted away from making fan characters and loads of fanart and focused more on my story characters, I'm curious.

Since I drifted away from making fan characters and loads of fanart and focused more on my story characters, I'm curious.[/QUOTE] Spending too much time on FA has lowered my standards so that any character that's portrayed with personality beyond pop-culture references and sticking their breasts/genitals in people's faces are pretty good.
[QUOTE=Jackald;36047351]Sometimes they're okay. Almost always they are really bad traces or copies of other characters or mary sues with no flaws or character to them, or they're idealistic versions of the person who made them (Fat bald autistic nerd in real life? You can bet their OC is a long-haired skinny social maverick)[/QUOTE] This too, if you can have a character come across as actually a person, you are better than 90% of the internet at it.
[QUOTE=Snake7;36047279]Anonymous girl fetish. [i]Oh god yes baby I have no idea who you are![/i][/QUOTE] It's pretty normal to fantasize about strangers.
[QUOTE=Rents;36047405]This too, if you can have a character come across as actually a person, you are better than 90% of the internet at it.[/QUOTE] Hah... I guess I'm 90% better then the internet at it then. My second main story character is so different from how I act and has such a developed personality that when I hold roleplays with people I've never done it with before, they swear up and down that it's a different person typing for that character. I wish creativity was broader then good design for some people. Because I've seen some DAMN WELL designed characters but the personality was just a mary sue/gary stu hollow shell of a "person."

So unless the character looked really generic then it must have been poorly designed if it's personality is that of a generic soulless character that could be used as a background character. Good character design requires good personality and backstory and vica versa.

Is it normal for someone to get worried every time the thread recieves new posts?
[QUOTE=ADT;36051542]It's generally okay from the moment the characters aren't completely unfitting in their own universe, do have a certain appealing design, with an interesting background & personnality (That do not make them as 'Mary-Sue' characters, aka 'being loved by everyone for no real reason, being all powerful, no actual flaws, or resolving story conflicts without any effort').[/QUOTE] Yeah... I avoid that as much as possible. And once someone called my two main characters mary sue/gary stu because their power was slightly influenced by Egyptian Gods. Their logic: omg if tehyre influensed by gods thne theyre op!!!!!!!!1 No, dumbshit, it's not AWESOME UBER GODLY POWER influence, it's minor. Almost non-existent. If anything the fact that they're being watched over by them is more prominently shown then any power influence until the end of the first half of the story. [I]Then[/I] it's extremely obvious for the main character, but still to make it non-OP, such power has a high chance of killing her or making her extremely weak for the rest of her life. I hate it when people say that your character(s) is OP/Godmodded like that just because they have some sort of personal connection to a God, minor or not, made up for their story or in an actual religion.
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;36051948]Yeah... I avoid that as much as possible. And once someone called my two main characters mary sue/gary stu because their power was slightly influenced by Egyptian Gods. [/QUOTE] That actually sounds kind of cool. It all depends on how you deliver the idea imo.

Make your characters how you want them, Fuck all others. Read "belgrath the sorcerer" series. The main character is a fucking god who when he needed to get from point a to b Ripped apart a continent and pulled the two ends together, yet had a reason to do so and the capability within his logical power base. Hence the only thing that matters is ,"how non shallow and awesome is this character?". Now end it, make your characters how you wish and never post about such Here. also How the fuck does Malorian "one of the books in the series" bring up this Shit. [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs44/i/2009/071/3/9/Kinja_by_Kanataru.png[/img] "....and that picture of my friends character Malorian...." I am going to Sue.
[I]Sorry[/I] for asking a question and it spawning a conversation. It was still on topic pretty much, by talking about how 90% of DeviantART has shitty original characters. Could have been, a little less rude about it. But whatever.
