I love your characters, I honestly think you’re one of the best Fan character creators I’ve seen in along time. You’ve inspired me to rework and improve my characters (both Fan and Original), do you have any helpful tips?

Aaaaw hun, thank you so much ❤ I am very, very honored that my work does that for ju ;u; 

As for tips… gawd I’m bad at these. But I shall do my best! 

If you want advice writing characters, what I usually do is write down big personality traits that I want this character centered around. Like what their quirks are, what their favorite things are and what their fears are. I usually bullet point these, and then I bring them to my close friends to throw ideas with back and forth. Sometimes, I even roleplay with them, just to get a feel for the character and how they’d react to things. But I also through ideas around with them to get their input, and heck if they have ideas I consider them and possibly add them in (with credit).

Designing characters is a bit more tricky, and it can take me weeks and months to really be happy with a design. I also show WIPs to my friends to see what they think too. I went to an art college, so sharing WIPs was the best way to get useful critiques and build a strong, awesome character. As my ol’ teacher used to say, “you can’t make good shit in a vacuum” (i had an awesome teacher i need to quote him more). 

I hope that helps! Again, thank you so very much, this made me smile ❤ I apologize if it wasn’t all that helpful x,D I try!
