This guy. Every time I get a comm I let the artist choose what character to draw, and they ALWAYS pick him, which I didn't expect bc his design is pretty cluttered and hard to get right. There are even people who find him attractive, which I was... not expecting. š
@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 have a scary carnival I'm making and I didn't expect people to like this cursed zebra as much as they do
I won't elaborate on everything rn but if you want lore message me lol
he's popular in REAL LIFE which scares me so bad. i have had people at my school that i don't know ask if they can see art of him; extremely confusing but very flattering!! anyways all of my friends want him biblically. :-(
honestly i thought he'd get overshadowed by minkĀ (mainly because i really love them and they were more developed than kira at the time)
but when i finally developed all the characters from his story and started using them more publically... i have SO MANY FREAKING PEOPLE TELLING ME THEY WANT HIM. INCLUDING MY OWN FRIENDS. ONLINE AND IN REAL LIFE!!!! it is scary....
Silv is the third POV in a story Iām writing and people really love her, and imo even though i love her i though more people would find her bratty/general unlikable
She has some socialization issues, is a bit neurotic, and has some trauma/admiring emulation of her terrifying murderous father thatās made it hard for her to emote and smile since her parents split, and is trying to cope with the fact that sheās a kid of a murderer [who killed her motherās brother]Ā
I think people feel bad for her because of the struggles she has with being the spitting image of her dad and her mother moving on from her dad as soon as her kids become relatively independent
Not to rev a half-dead thread, but uhhh him š he was just a random design I used to warm up to drawing again, and apparently people liked him a lotĀ more than I expected lol
He was literally made as a JOKE!! Nearly everyone in one of my friend servers wants him so bad and I can't help but understand. Now I always view him as the perfect slushy-headed single father that everyone deserves
Ā Ā This dude has the most favs out of all my characters and I have no idea why. Nobody seems to talk about him, nobody picks him in forum games, and he has fairly little art compared to the rest of my goobers (especially art where I didn't specifically request him to be drawn). And yet somewhere there's a secret Banjo cult conspiring to give him as many faves as possible. They scare meĀ
