I'm really surprised by all the nice comments about Ferdinand!! I feared his somewhat unorthodox anatomy would make people want to avoid him but it seems to have had the opposite effect haha
@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.
For who Linden is as a person, and what he does for a living, I am shocked he has as many likes as he does, to quite honest,
she was really well known on this website i rp'd her on for a good while and people still remember her over 2-3 years later~
Honestly, Amelia. She was supposed to be a character in my webcomic back in early 2018 but I abandoned even working on the first chapter. I think I just drew her in the prologue and never drew her again. I don't remember why I revived her but when I did everyone loved her. and I'm like "?!??!?" she's every typical shy girl, i always thought of her like a mary sue : P
tbh back when I made Vaska I just tried to get a DnD character done as quickly as possible so we could finally start playing - and while I obviously love this stinky noodle man, I never really thought that others would like him as much
so I was pretty surprised (and very happy) to see that he not only has the most favorites out of all my characters, but he also generally gets a lot of compliments whenever I post him somewhere!!
I have no idea why Kenai is so popular. Don’t have anything written for him (yet), and he’s just a normal Malamute, but people just really seem to like his design. I’m glad people do like him, though!
