While these can definitely be done well, it’s just as easy to do poorly. The best way to keep these kinds of characters good is to develop their personality naturally by building up a story and explanation for the ship. Making an OC to pair with another OC seems better, but it’s the same issue, just more acceptable by the fandom standards. I’m not judging if you have an OCxCanon ship, but it needs to have explanation and both characters need to have personality and motivation. The most important thing to avoid is making ship OCs completely devoid of any personality and just making them to pair them up with your favorite canon character. If you want to ship, this is likely a character you’ll make at some point, whether it’s intentional or not. Third, these characters often devolve into empty ship characters for the creator to use for OCxCanon, which has lowered everyone’s opinions on recolors. However, if you’re drawing, you may as well draw yourself as a completely original character with your preferred pallet instead of a canon character. It’s more understandable if you only use sfm and need a character to represent yourself as. First, because they’re a recolor, they aren’t an OC they look exactly like an existing character.
Recolors are discouraged for several reasons. They aren’t necessarily bad, but it’s incorrect to say it’s an OC because it was based off of and is made to be like an existing character. While a genderbend can be an interesting idea for an AU, it doesn’t qualify as an OC. It’s always important to know what should and shouldn’t be done before starting! When making an OC, a lot can be done well, but just as much can be done poorly.
So, you want to make an OC, but aren’t sure where to start? Or maybe you already have one but want a couple tips on how to improve your character? Whatever the reason, let’s see what we can make! I asked them to draw something cringy and they made something greAt Shoutout to Hep for drawing the bad OC on the tpl
