I genuinely wasnt expecting this dude to get as much love as hes gotten, but damn. LikE I love him and its why I adopted him, but I never expected this much love for him; 9 liked in less than 2 weeks uwu
@Judas-la-carotte's thread about underrated characters made me think about the opposite! I'm not going to use the word "overrated" because I certainly don't mean that any OCs deserve less love, but do you have any characters whom you're surprised get more attention than you expected they would, among your characters?
Maybe people pick them more often in forum games or art trades than other characters, they have more faves than you expected, or they're just the ones your friends have gravitated towards for whatever reason-- but maybe they aren't among your own favorites, or they're just not the OCs you expected would be popular.
And has that character's popularity inspired you to use or develop them more, or give them a bigger role in whatever story or project they may be in?
There are no particular rules for this thread; just be nice and don't try to make people feel bad about their taste or anything like that.
I originally bought this guy for less than $1. The designer was in need of points at the time so I snatched them up, just mere seconds before someone else haha. That being said, still didn’t expect people to love him as much as I did. Have had quite a few people ask about him, it makes me feel good. Good to know my old mascot still has people interested.
this idiot was a one-off joke that I played around with for a few days, but has more favorites than any other character of mine. why. it's terrible.
When I first made Void, they ended up as one of my "popular" characters. In a community on another site, I was at tone point known specifically because of Void, i honestly never expected any of the good feedback I've gotten from them! Especially since I didn't out too much effort into their design and literally made them because I was bored and some art I had to do for school at the time inspired me.
I'm honestly really (positively) surprised by all the love Olivier has gotten so far?? At first I thought that his design was too simple and that his bio was too depressing for most people's tastes haha... This wouldn't change the fact that I love him but... Knowing that some people also like him for what he is makes me super happy??
SO MANY PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT SITES SAY THAT THEY LOVE THIS CHARACTER ALOT WHICH SURPRISED ME BC I WASN'T REALLY EXPECTING THIS CHARACTER TO GET ATTENTION AT ALL AND BNDASJSAJSASKJ
