Maybe this is just me but... by Amaterasu

what...is the appeal with characters that looks like someone took like rainbow barf. thats all i can think of when i see these kind of characters. this is not to say that every character donning something rainbow is bad, some characters actually pull it off really well. but it seems like 9/10 times someone decides to use rainbow; its the entire character. what is the appeal!? i dont understand! honestly i would feel ashamed of myself for making such a character. its just not good to look at. at all; its very offensive to the eye. and i cant be the only one who feels this way; can i? does anyone else see these kind of characters and go "... WHY?"

i like seeing characters with interesting design concepts. but defaulting to "rainbow everything and black/ white everything else" is just...terrible. thats

what do you guys think about that. what do you think is "too much" on a character. for me its the rainbow colors/ too many markings/ trying to chimera a bunch of species together/ and tagging your character a "shapeshifter" (really, shapeshifter has to be the most un-original thing i see a character tagged as; and all it is, is "it was too hard to pick a species so i just choose to be everything :D)

These are purely my thoughts on the subject so if you want to get super butthurt over anything i said; just ignore this journal then.

    I understand what you mean but honestly its just the world we live in you know. I actually went with the generic though I like wolves and foxes and I like the color blue and black. My character was black and white but I figured hey wth im going with blue mofo's what what!!!

    But about that shapshifter that's just another way to make an original character but it doesn't actually make it original. I kinda like it sometimes because some people can make a character and ill be like omg that's crazy it looks sooo good but how did the parents you know get together? idk I just try to continue on and not worry too much its just a way to make something "original"

      This character? if so she very nicely done. her color scheme is a very nice dininitive pattern that uses complimenting colors and nothing too wild

        Thanks ^^

        Your journal is too true, over accessorizing and such ruins so many promising characters just because they want them to be as colorful as there are colors on the palette
