Yes my main Oc always gets compared to Borderlands Handsome Jack and I am getting always angry about it XD
Never complare Oc's to media characters. For some artists their oc's are very dear to them. It hurts to read such comments TnT
Were your OCs ever compared to another character?

No, they were not
I assume that many of us have stumbled upon this, because getting your OC compared to characters from media is inevitable - but what are your thoughts on this, after all? Do you like it? Do you hate it with a burning passion? Or maybe you just don't mind when it happens?
Share your opinions and experiences here, no one is stopping you.
Personally, I am the type who hates it with a burning passion. It's not a positive thing for me at all (I do know that some people don't mean it the wrong way, but it still pisses me off), as I try to make my OCs as original as I can (and will redesign them if I'm not satisfied with their look). I mean, wouldn't you just lose it if your favourite/comfort OC was compared to the same character 40 times (or even more)? Lmao I don't even feel like I'm gonna recover from this haha as a side effect I have developed a burning hatred for that character, to the point where I shudder whenever I see him
Okay, now it's yall's turn, I wanna hear the epic stories and opinions. I don't know if I'm just crazy or is that common lmao
Got compared to the arrow superhero, know its because of the name but I was so confused who that was before I looked it up!
Honestly, I just try and brush them off and make jokes oughta them- it's inevitable so getting upset feels like a waste of time for me <:/
On the bright side, I think the funniest OC comparison I've gotten is someone calling these two Tubbo and Tommyinit BAHAH
yes, in the past, when mine had more forgettable designs
but now i am a mega ultra chad and i think they are a lot more unique. so, i don’t really get “millie looks like ____!” anymore. it would be hard to find a character in 2021 with pink hair and coontails XD
so i have an oc named cain, right? i posted art of him online once [it's actually the art in his profile code before i redesigned him] and someone said "do you know danganronpa?" even though the post had nothing to do with danganronpa at all, it was just a drawing of my oc. they said he looked like a danganronpa character even though i see NO similarities to any danganronpa character. it made me kinda annoyed honestly, but at least it's over now HAHAH
Bill Cipher. 🤦♂ Demonic, has an eye-themed thing going on, scary but also charming(?), I get it, but I just hate the comparison lmFAO
