Re: original character! do not steal!
[quote="Ryoku":25ie97un]You have to consider that, despite being under the "original" tag, the artists who drew them surely have a pretty defined history or personality for their characters. Likes, dislikes, family, etc. So technically, it's the same as using a 'known' character.
I highly doubt that behind every pretty picture spit out of photoshop is a fully developed human being. However it's entirely possible that any given anonymous character pic is in reality the main character of the most popular cartoon in Tunisia or something.

Re: original character! do not steal!
Well, when you draw - not saying that I do, but I have a few friends who do draw - an original character, you try to give them a personality, something that makes them cool. Tragic past, undefeatable spirit, whatever, but I can assure you that at least 90% of the characters you find in the internet, no matter if they're original or not, have "life". Maybe it's not written down on paper. But they all have that little something that makes them unique.

Re: original character! do not steal!
Right, but you're not taking the artist's thoughts about the drawing, you're taking the drawing. It'd set that a fair distance from consciously taking an existing character ie Reiko Hinomoto and porting her bodily into this forum, particularly because it's not like you have access to the thoughts and feelings of someone that you might know by their deviantart username, if you bother to look at it before saving the pic.

I get your point. I know that 'original' characters dont have a public defined personality or stuff, but I insist. Artists wont draw a psycho-looking woman with a machine gun and describe her as the most loving person in the world. What I mean is that, most of the times, you can get an idea of what the artist was trying to create by the looks of the characters. A cool hero, a vengeful assassin or a lovely kid. They all have that something that allows you to tell what kind of character it was meant to be.

Re: original character! do not steal!
Agreed, agreed, of course I chose the pic for Taylor because it best suited her out of the pics I had access to at the time. But having a picture of someone and thinking 'this person looks weird' is much more nebulous territory than having a picture of a character whose weirdness is clearly defined. There's wiggle room with a pic, there isn't nearly as much with a character. For example, you can take a given pic and write the history (you don't look at a picture and say "oh this girl looks like she graduated from a private high school in idaho in 2006 and thought about attending Berkley before her table tennis career took off!). If you have a character with an existing history, you run the risk of being, among other things, corrected. And to me being told how to write my own characters is a fate worse than death.
What a bizarre little discussion we're having here. " title="Razz" />

Re: original character! do not steal!
*Nodnod* Agree to that.
Anyways, my point is, I dont believe there's such a thing like a blank character. You can always "reset" them, but as I said, you cant make an honorable father and bussiness man out of a kid's picture. As long as you stay in the gamma of posibilities that the appearance allows, I dont see any problem in using original pictures.

Re: original character! do not steal!
This may be a change of subject, but I'm old enough now that it seems weird to have had this discussion with someone your age. A large part of my brain will tell you that I'm still a teenager, and I'm afraid that the more it is exposed to teenage-ism, the more likely it is to escape the elaborate maze I've trapped it in.
You can see the risk I'm taking here in this thread.

NEWS FLASH: the Archergurl who you speaking of is not part of AFW anymore and she's currently working in production for new game titles in Japan. I'm her Canadian friend who she gave her PC due to mines has crashed. She was nice enough to give it to me to help a friend in need. So she got a spared one that she uses for the things I've mention above. BTW, Anegge and Alexandra be sure to check the E-mail adresses carefully. As Archergurl and me aren't the same thing.
