That’s why Doc tore down all his work, he didn’t want others profiting off his creativity. It sucks because I’d like to parade Cyndwella, my favorite character, around like a messiah returned. But out of respect for Doc I don’t post any pictures of her.

The thing is Aro, there will always be copycats and pirates. How do you think other creators feel when they see people profit off their work. YouTubers who monetize their channels while playing uncut videogame footage or people burning entire anime seasons on a disc and selling it? There will always be shitlords bro. The thing is, you gotta make your work your own, that way when the shitlords steal it, people know it’s yours.

Like Marcus. To my knowledge he is the only OC character on this site depicted the way I do. Rude, vulgar, prone to fights, cigar smoking, liquor chugging brawler man with a love of dark leather tailcoats and swings around a sword that’d make Cloud Strife blush. Marcus is not the most original character, but he is certainly my character. If somebody came along and ripped him off, you guys would spot it immediately.

I guess my point is don’t let that shit bother you or dampen your creativity. Keep creating, keep writing. It’s better you bring your imagination to life rather than letting it get buried in your subconscious. And honestly, ask people for criticisms. You can always improve your work, but only with the opinions of others.

Which is why I want some ideas from you guys for name for my new character.
