Well,I was kinda wondering how you get people to see your characters and like them,like catwhohas14tails's characters have. Anyone know? I need some liker of Renn,Bonto,Khione,and Clover,+ Dark Rose.

Uh, what?

If you want people to be interested in your characters, to start, they should have an individual personality. If you make a wolf who's a lonely killer, it's generic and boring. If they're always right, always helping out their friends or very nice to everyone, they probably won't be popular either.

Also, avoid using characters that look like Balto characters. Don't use one of Jenna's pups' designs for a character, nor should you color over Balto (or any character) to make your own. If you're drawing your character, focus on drawing unique and essential expressions (like angry, surprised, sick, etc). Don't use others' linearts or poses, or your characters will seem flat. You have to be the one to make them unique, and no one else can do that for you.

Overall, to make an interesting character, you must be willing to put time and effort into their design, background, personality, etc. Your "average Joe" character may be more exciting than a killer with a dramatic past.

Here is a final thought - find qualities in yourself and others for your characters. Use your flaws. Use your strengths. If you're physically weak, make your character physically weak. If you're lost, lonely, confused, ecstatic about life, make your character have those same qualities. The artist's soul is most reflected in their creations.

Thanks Ray J. I'll use my Khione drawings for her-but I still need to design the others,though I do like using linearts cause I'm not the best artist.
