He's been receiving love T0T <33 I'm very thankful but it was unexpected!
@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.
lulu is from an oc verse with a couple of friends that we've plotted out a definitive storyline to and everything; in the planning stages, her character pitch was "while we're all living in a jrpg, she's living in a magical girl anime and she thinks she's the protagonist"
everybody loves her very dearly she does, in fact, keep getting referred to as the protagonist of the cast
she shouldn't be allowed to be right about stuff but here we are
So I usually put some of my knowledge on psychology to my character designs, but that knowledge worked out a little too well with this goat haha
He's the most popular out of the OCs I have posted. I'm always a little shocked when he gets attention but I'm glad people like my Gucci bee man. Makes me feel good.
I think I already talked about Hae-won here, so another one would be Aziel I think? He was very much a self-indulgent character and I was cognizant of the fact that his design was definitely out of the ordinary and even kind of bizarre, and yet so many people adore him and even want my little cat goblin to step on them??? I'm baffled, but I'm happy that he's liked, unexpected as it might be.
