I usually wait until I have made artwork of them myself, but lately I've been posting characters without my artwork as well. I wish I would wait until I wrote their character to upload them, but I'm a bit impatient when it comes to that so I usually do it before that.

I've been thinking about this, since I've been wanting to finish a character's profile before posting them since then they'd be freshly reading for people to read - or at least have a decent amount of art for them so there'd be something to look at, but I'm really slow at writing out profiles even for the ocs I already have uploaded. Also my friends have wanted me to upload some of my other characters so they can make links to them or simply so they can attribute a name to a face.
So I was wondering, when do you all upload your ocs? Do you like to have their profiles done? Have some art for them to show off? Or just right off the bat as soon as you've got them?
pretty much as soon as I have art, if only to help keep track of them all in one place even if I haven't named them or given them much info yet.
I'll sometimes upload them after I've completed a drawing, but I prefer to have a completed profile to go along with them, as working on them in such a way helps me become further attached to the design!
If it's an adopted char, I'll post as soon as I have a name, concept, and basic profile blurb at minimum usually (as well as the motivation to write it and crop an icon haha).
If it's a char I've made from scratch, I have to have made or obtained at least one piece of art, first!
Usually I wait until I have an image and a name, even if it's a temporary name. I used to want to be stricter and wait until I had fully written profiles, but...I'd rather work on that as time goes on so I don't forget about them. ; v ;
