Don’t copy completely off my oc designs as I work hard to make them and it would be uncomfortable for me to see that you have almost the exact same thing
ASK before taking my ocs attributes/designs that stick out to you
Don’t Ask me to draw your ocs It Makes me Uncomfortable When people ask me if I can draw there oc especially when people ask me multiple times. You may ask me ONLY if I know you, or have gotten to know you. Even then I may decline as I usually draw people's ocs as I please.
ya May submit an Oc for me to draw as I do have that as an option because when I am bored and have nothing to draw I do sometimes go and draw others ocs.
^ BUT Please DO NOT ask me repeatedly to draw it or keep checking up on me to see if I have because when submitting your oc it’s not a 100% guarantee that I’ll draw them that’s just there for me to have peoples reference sheets for when I am ready to draw them

I hate how us artists put pressure on ourselves to constantly improve--we must get better and better or we're failures.
We drew with reckless abandon as children. Whatever came out we loved cuz WE made it. I want that back for us. Art doesn't have to be good, love it anyway.
Webcomic tips
In the conclusion for now, some things I’d really recommend doing if you’re seriously considering making a webcomic (or really a comic in general). Some of these don’t really apply to strips or gag-a-day type of comics, but I’m not talking about those here.
1. Write down ideas\sketch stuff, LEGIBLY. “I’m gonna remember it later” NEVER works. And if you scribble it somewhere on a piece of paper, you’d better scan it or retype in one doc later, because tiny notes always get lost among other doodles in my skethbooks.
(i know it’s hard to keep everything clean and organized, but this mess is just not productive)
If your project is a collaboration, save your conversations. If you’re working alone, make a blog for your ramblings. You have no clue what tears of relief I cry when I open that blog and rememeber I don’t have to painstakingly look through my heaps of sketchbooks and folders for a tiny idea I’m not even sure I wrote down a few months ago.
2. Inspiration folders, or even better, inspo blog with tags also help with collecting and remembering ideas. Color schemes, landscapes, style inspirations, atmospheric stuff, maybe some photo references, all those neat things.
3. Basic tier: character design sheets. Top tier: common poses, expressions. God tier: outfits they wear throughout the comic. Holy cow tier: turnaround sheets for all those outfits.
(I’d die trying to find good pages for references without these)
4. If you haven’t finished detailing the plot, don’t even think about moving on to drawing the comic. You’re gonna regret it when you come up with a really cool plot element that can’t be incorporated anymore because you’ve already drawn all the parts you could’ve tweaked.
5. Don’t just define the plot, make a script. Writing down the lines and the brief description of the actions serves me fine:
(notice that I approximately divided the pages & the text that’d go to each panel on a page)
6. Hard mode: make thumbnails for all the pages, if possible. At least whenever a new chapter starts.
7. If your story involves some convoluted chronology shenanigans, you’d better write down the events of your timeline in the chronological order.
8. Backgrounds. You can’t avoid them, bro. Like half of the comics are backgrounds, especially if your story involves a lot of adventuring and looking around. I know it hurts, but you’ll have to become friends with them. Read some tutorials, practice on photos, go out and sketch some streets, use 3d programs (like Google Sketch) to understand the perspective, use sites like houseplans to visualize your buildings better, I don’t know. Just be prepared for their imminent evil.
9. If you’re drawing digitally, pick a brush size for the lines and stick with it. You don’t want your lines and detail levels to look all wonky and inconsistent in different panels. And I don’t mean the cool stylistic varying lines, I mean this:
Also, things on the background should have thinner and/or lighter lines to avoid distraction. Usually less details too, unless you’re making a busy background with a simple foreground to help it pop out. Or wanna draw the attention to an object on the bg.
10. Readable fonts. Even if you chose to ignore people with poor sight or dyslexia, the majority of your readers aren’t gonna be excited about struggling to decypher this:
Also, as much as I love my black speech bubbles, colorful text on black still kinda hurts the eyes. I wouldn’t recommend doing that for all the characters. Black speech bubbles are usually used for creepy, inhuman voices. And yes, having a colorful outline in this case helps.
11. Probably newsflash, but did you know that panels have their place, order and functions? They do! My favourite thing ever is how I used panels when I was like 12:
(comics ain’t rocket science, but this one is)
The composition of the panels and word balloons always serve for a better reading experience. They guide your eyes over the page, so that you never feel lost or confused. The images in the comic equal frames in a movie, so it’s pretty damn important in what order you look at things and how quickly you can understand what’s going on!
(Eric Shanower & Scottie Young’s Wizard of Oz)
12. One update a week is fine for testing waters. Don’t overestimate yourself, especially if you have a pretty busy life outside it. A stable comic that updates slowly, but regularly is better than an unpredictable erratic one. You can always pick up the pace later, if you feel confident enough.
13. Try to always have a buffer - a couple of pages in reserve. If you’re making the pages much faster than you’re updating, this shouldn’t be a problem. But if those paces are equally the same, it’s goddamn HARD. But on the other hand, if something happens and you skip an update, those come in handy.
If you’re looking at this list and thinking “wow that’s a LOT of work”, you’re totally right. And it’s okay to be intimidated at first! But that’s why it’s important to start with something small. Once you get the formula down, these things will be natural to you.
I can tilt it but it’s just not the same.
Nowi has the body of a prepubecent girl, yet she dresses like a stripper. This is not the norm in the Fire Emblem series, where small children dress like small children. Look at Tiki in Shadow Dragon. Look at Fae. Look at Nowi's daughter, who actually looks older than her mother but dresses in a manner that reflects her age. Look at Lissa, and Elise, and Sakura- young girls who dress like young girls. While I agree that the artist who took the comission is less at fault than the designer of this disgusting outfit, anyone who says "it's not sexual" is a god damn idiot. Bras, booty shorts and boots are the go-to uniform of prostitutes, because it covers just enough to not be naked while still being essentially naked.
Stop defending this just because it's animu, you weebs. People would be disgusted seeing a child in real life wearing a "sexy witch" costume, and they're gonna be disgusted with this pedo-bait in their games, too.
Just gonna leave this here for the people stirring trouble.
Also, I’ve seen people send edits of their “covered Nowi” to the actual artist over at Twitter, and it is disgusting behavior. To say, “Hey, look at this version I made because you drew Nowi showing her stomach and legs” is insulting to the artist’s hard work. If you want to make redesigns, that’s fine! But don’t shove it in the artist’s face and say, “My version is better!”
IF YOU HAVE TO COMPLAIN, GO SAY IT TO HIGHER UPS AT NINTENDO/IS!!! ARTISTS ONLY DRAW WHAT THEIR COMMISSIONERS ASK THEM TO! So please don’t attack Enkyo Yuichiro for drawing what the developers wanted.
I’ve always known that the fanbase is terrible, but to go this far… Disgusting.
