Recent oc too similar and so I'm done trying anymore
a month ago
General
The recent character design is too similar to someone I had watched for a few months now. So I deleted it and going to stop drawing art, as I am completely embarrassed and unmotivated to do so. Honestly I feel like shit and stupid overall, I could of at least messaged them or something first but of course I didn't because why would I? I forget sometimes that no one is going to be like me or does things the way I do, or have the same morals or reaction to something.
When others take time to draw one of my characters in 3D without asking, I embraced it because that was the coolest shit I ever seen. Having one of my oc's turned into a fully rigged 3D model for vrchat was super awesome and something I never be able to do myself. In the end I made a new friend, and Barkly gets to be more real then I could have ever made them myself in flash animation or drawing. Same thing when someone made art of the widow's harp eating their oc, I didn't care they didn't ask because I thought it was cool seeing people like my oc and randomly finding the art while browsing FA.
All of my characters have been something people can draw or base things off of but this openness can be bad in certain situations with others. Obviously this can lead to problems if things I draw inspiration from other characters I like/seen and they are not happy to see a design that is too close too theirs. Then others It was my fault for not asking, which I normally do when creating characters however there has been a few times I didn't.
I'm walking on a minefield every time I draw something on a complete impulse and rushing into it. This is officially the second time this happened where I got burned, the last time was with the pirate eagle oc I made. Now looking back I suppose the lego dragon and the gummy worm are in the same boat, I didn't ask so I could end up upsetting 2 more users. I just can't keep being stupid and having this happen, I get vorey and excited to draw something new and rush through without thinking/asking first. Out of fear of there being more of these situations arising, for the foreseeable future I will no longer be drawing any art going forward.
I wish there was more people like skeksi in the world so I don't get burned like this, it's a shame they are gone from this website...
