Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help :> - Tumblr Posts
Hiya! I have some tips for ya :3 (this is gonna be long-)
1, if you still dont have the designs and personalitys figured out yet, I find that for me it's best to create the charater designs and their personality first before going on about world building (but you can reverse that if you want)
If you need help with that, looking at both batim (bendy and the ink machine) and Dca designs and sorta finding out what you can incorporate into them and their designs is important. (This also depends on how canon you want it to be to Batim or sun and moon). Making them look like they actually belong in the universe with their designs and color scheme is pretty important
There's also personality and charater reference sheets on pintrest you can look at and use (do note, most of them are reuploaded from Twitter/X, so-) but it can help alot. Fleshed out charaters with good designs are normally easier for fans to like and stuff
Thats all I really have to say about that, but here's some extra! (AKA like 50 more tips- sorry-)
1, not everyone's gonna like your Au or art, and that's perfectly fine! You just gotta find your target audience, even if that takes awhile.
2, using references is perfectly ok as long as you aren't tracing and claiming it as your own. You cant learn everything automatically lol
3, there's some drama in the dca fandom, so just ignore that lol. People just like hating on things for no reason.
4, don't give up! I've been on tumblr for a bit and I don't really get any recognition. Sometimes people will find your stuff fast, other times they won't see it at all. And thats alright :]
5, designs and lore can change overtime. It's your Au. You can do whatever you want. You have a new design idea? Go for it! No one can stop you from doing smth with your own Au
6, make a pinned post. This is pretty important. It's good to say the rules of your blog first so you don't have to later. (For example, DNI list, rules like if fanworks of your Au are allowed, etc. It can really help.)
And lastly, make a watermark. A water mark is the name of your blog on all your art so if your art gets reposted people can see it and look it up here on tumblr to find your blog. People really like reposting stuff onto pintrest without permission. (You can make a fancy design for it if you want lol. Just download the image with a clear background so you can import it to your art. Idk what art app/website you use tho, so idk how to explain how if you dont know-)
And hey, if you need any help or have any questions, you can send an ask to my blog 👍
