Some Tips on Making Original Characters
Oh no Draggin's gonna preach, voice opinions and give advice WATCH OUT!! (Disclaimer: Most of this stuff are things I've experienced and observed over the years and I'm just sharing my thoughts and opinions. I'm in no way a professional at character/story creation)
Also keep in mind that this is mostly advice for visual artists and not really writers. I'm not a writer so these things I'm gonna say may not apply :'D
Whenever I tell people that my original stuff is what gets the most feedback on here they always seems shocked because well, lets face it, original ideas dont get as much love on the internet than say fanart or whatever's trendin
