speaking as someone who has a lot of ocs and also has a folder for these sort of designs, i dont personally mind
but i can definitely understand why it would make someone uncomfortable!
the reason i do it is because i like being able to look at characters i like and check up on them (not necessarily just to stalk and see if they're for sale -- i also just like to see if the owner has gotten more art of them!). i also like to look at my folder of designs as a reference to see what im looking for in a design, that way i can make the perfect one for myself without outright copying a design XD it helps to save them for customs too! i gave a whole sta.sh file to my custom-maker to use as reference and she said it was really helpful! >//
ooh, tysm for explaining it from the perspective of someone with a folder like this! i like the concept you mentioned of making the folder so you can check on the characters for updated and new art and so you can see their development with their owner rather than having it to keep tabs on them for future resale purposes, ty for highlighting this reason!! and the custom reason makes sense also, it can help designers get a feel for the kind of themes/palettes you lean more towards and help them fit your ideas more ~
No problem at all ! :D
Yes yes !! Thank you! >//v//< It makes me happy seeing characters get love yknow? The only thing that sucks more than not having a design you really want, is seeing the owner not use them to me SLDKGSDGG but ynever know if theyre just using them in the background or something..I know i certainly do LOL. Plus I can definitely appreciate art of a character i like hehe.
For sure! i definitely like seeing examples of what people like when I'm making stuff for them myself!
