Is it funny that you did well on drawing a character from a series you know and then when you draw your own characters is not really good compare to ones you draw from that series?
IIIIIIIIIII’m not sure how to answer that because I am not a drawing artist whatsoever.
But I do see where you are coming from and agree with you. Because it’s easy to write stories about characters from other series in fanfictions because there’s already been an establishment of characterization and the world they live in and their storylines and character arcs. We got the base we can work off of or build from.
But in original stories, you have to basically create these stuff all on your own. Create your own world. Create your own characters. Create your own storylines. Which can maybe or maybe not be as great as the stories you loved (I’m pretty sure it can be; it really falls on the person’s personal interests).
And even then, honestly, when it comes to writing fanfictions, you still have to worry about making sure the characterization is still accurate at least. And just hope people comment you enough that you did a good job doing so.
As a writer and someone who does RP, I hate it when I have a character that I love so much but I can't use her because she's a girl and my RP partner prefers male characters...
In this new RP I have three characters, two girls and one guy. It is very obvious he favors my male character. I have so much lore for the two girl characters and yes even for the male character, I don't discriminate while crafting my characters. My main thing is I put the character first, I don't care about the gender. However he sees my male characters and automatically is drawn to them first because they have d!cks. He's literally admitted that.
I just don't know what to do. I don't want to only make male characters but in order for them to have written screen time I feel like they have to be male. I am so proud of how I write my characters and I love writing my female characters, but he prefers my male characters. Honestly this male character so far has been so BORING for me to write because of this factor. I know the only reason he's liked is because he's a male character. I'm tired.
I guess I just don't understand why someone would prefer a character because of what's in their pants, probably because I'm asexual. I like a character based on their character, but he always likes a character first up because the character is a man.
I don't know what to do, I really don't and I feel like I've said that enough. I've tried to bring this up to him but he just brushes off my feelings, I don't know why. I try to always listen to him and honestly I wasn't even going to make a male character but I forced him in there because I know what he prefers. My first two designs for the RP were the two female characters, but then I got extremely anxious that he wouldn't want to RP if I didn't add a male character, so I forced myself to. Now he's overshining my other two characters, even though I'm convinced if one of my female characters was a male he'd be all over her. But no because she's a girl she gets side lined.
