First, a question to people who I know/talk to even outside of FA.

I've recently redesigned and heavily revised the heck out of my OC Sammy: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43220348/

Are any friends of mine willing to allow Sammy to be in the same image as their OC's? Whether it's drawn by me or I commission it from a third party?

I've had a hard time getting him drawn with my friends OC's, even if it was something I was willing to draw or even pay for. I know I can't get you guys to love/like my OC, but keep in mind that Sammy is my main avatar/mascot as well as my oldest OC of all the ones I've shown on this account. The character is special to me, so it would also mean a lot to use him with friends or just in more stuff in general. I just want to see who's willing for the sake of future projects/collaborations.

Whether it's Sammy as himself or an alternate version of him, I'm fine with it as long as it's something we can both agree/collaborate on and enjoy together.

So what does this mean about my other OC's? What's going to happen to them?

After a lot of consideration I've decided to limit/lower my total amount of OC's. It came to my attention I was creating too many characters and barely using them before moving on to more. So I've deleted some pics from my gallery of OC's I won't be using in future content on this account and upload them elsewhere.

The OC's I'm going to make sure to keep around for use in the future are the following:

Samuel "Sammy" Sanchez
Maxine "Maxie" Darley
Sofia "Sophie" Robinson
Gretchen Nachtmerrie
Hansel and Gretel
Marquis Mausolée

This will make my line up easier and less overwhelming to keep track of for both me, friends, or just people who visit my page who have even the smallest interest in my OC's. Some of my OC's have alternate versions of themselves (Example; Sophie is a human, but she has an anthro sheep counter part for anthro/furry settings) but it shouldn't be hard to keep track of. Plus alternate versions just increase the possibilities for images/pics.

Now does this mean all these other characters are off limits and they won't be used in future stuff with friends? Not at all. I still wish to focus a lot more on Sammy and make/get new content of him for the time being.

Does this mean I won't make new OC's in the future? Of course not; I still got a handful I've yet to finish/make public. But for the time being I want to make good use out of my current cast first.

Hopefully I can deliver good content in the future and work along side friends more down the line.
