Artist's Comments

I tell you what.

If i see one more weeaboo saying they are "SOOO CREATIVE and SOOO ORIGINAL" because they drew Sasuke with blue hair and a red shirt I am seriously going to go insane.

I'm sure you've all heard this one before. The rediculously over elaborate and sickeningly attractive and ever-so-perfect MaryJane character that Suzy P created that every single male character from Bleach is TOTALLY and Completely in LOVE with...

Or the "Ninja Squad" member who just happened to be in the same class with Naruto Sasuke and Sakura, but for some reason, never appeared in the series...

Look, Kids. Youre insulting not only the original writer of the series (as if to say "hey your story wasn't good enough, I'm gonna make it better for you by adding my two-cents") but Artists like me who actually write their own stories and come up with their own characters. Leave well enough alone, and come up with your own godamned ideas! You are not being original NOR are you being creative by concocting Inuyasha's irresitable new love interest.

If you want to write fanfiction, thats fine. If you want to draw your amazing, better than the originals Pokemon character, thats great too, Just dont fill your gallery with this childish MeMe slobber, and then have the nerve to call yourself Original or Creative. It doesn't work that way, Kids.

*sigh* I wish everyone would understand this. I mean, I don't have a problem with OCs when writing fan fiction, but it gets too far when it goes to Mary Sueing all your characters and the events of the story is just waaay to unrealistic. . -_____-"

lol MIGHTY GLORIOUS! XD I totally agree! I know people who have done that annoying marysue "New character that the hero suddenly loves" thing, and it was REALLY annoying XD
I agree, it's bad that people claim to be creating new stuff when they're just tweaking existing stuff, especially because SOME OF US actually do come up with stuff O.o

It's very, very easy to come up with a "original character" that's absolutely perfect. Especially since in many cases the character is an ideal of the creator's own self, what they themselves want to be. Which sucks away any originality that the character had in the first place. :P

Ugh, I so agree with you. D: I mean, OC's from fandoms can be okay if they put the right amount of thought into them, don't make impossible/ unbelievable circumstances, etc., but I'm so sick of these people who can't even draw editing some random screenshot off naruto and giving them a name and personality that's a blatant copy of a pre-existing character... gives people who actually think over their ideas a bad rep in some people's minds. >_<

I've seen so many it's just sad. I hate seeing it a LOT through out D.A.

I mean I'm guilty of making ONE fandom OC for Bleach because of a friend. But he wasn't like OMG GARY STU or any of that shit. I mean I rather stick to my own original stuff at best. I work harder at THAT. (Though I was having such a hard time creating even a fandom OC.)

But I think this goes out to the DUMB people that abuse it and think "OMG MY PERFECT CHARACTER IS TTLY AN OC."
