(Since there are so many questions floating around I think I'm just going to skip my overall comments to everyone and just answer the questions. I would like to say that everyone has such lovely art of their characters!!)
Questions and Answers Asked by Butter Dragon (from page 352): How can Butter Dragon improve her character website (it's still unfinished cx) found here(Kula is gorgeous!! Milo looks like a sweet heart. And omg I love Hallie!!) As for your question, I think your site is looking great! Maybe add some contact information about yourself? Only if you want to of course!
Asked by Batman (from page 361): What is your favorite type of YCH? I am a huge fan of YCH to be honest! I love the more unique ones, like for lizard like characters or birds. Canine ones are always a go to as well!
What is one REAL animal species that you feel should be more popular when it comes to characters?Reptiles like lizards or snakes and more bird characters!!!!
If you could, what 1 character would you pick if you had the ability to make them real? and why?Oh my…. As much as I would love to say one of my canine characters, I think I would have to go with one of my reptile ones… Maybe
Nuria or
Lenna. As to why, I think it would be a lot of fun to have a little one to keep with me or have my dream python in real life!
Asked by SkyWishes21 (from page 362): Do you have a fursona? Tell us about them!I actually have two, but my current fursona is
Xaviera. She represents me now (or at least I like to think so.) She is confident in herself, but still has doubts. She tries her best to be the best she can be, but her fears and anxiety can take over. She is loud and proud and not afraid to take someone down if needed. Plus she is just gorgeous!!
What do you think multiple fursonas?Being someone who has two, I am okay with the idea!
If you have more than one fursona, tell us why, and what they mean to you!I have one that represents my “older” self. The all loving, super caring person I hope to be. The one that puts others first and mothers everyone. The other is the more current “me”. She represents trying to figure out this crazy thing call life and making the best of it.
Asked by Six (from page 363): Do you have a certain goal of 'development' for your characters? Like a certain amount of art or a certain amount of writing? A form you fill out for all of them?Not really. I should though!
How do you represent your characters on a site/ toyhouse/folders? Do you just put refs as the preview, do you use icons? Buy (or draw) tags? I would love to use tags. I think it is a very cute way to make a site look professional and organized. Currently my weebly account is being special, so I want to clean it up and hopefully get tags! Right now I’m moving everyone over to my toyhouse account. I am just using it as a place holder, but I do like the sight in general.
Asked by Snil (from page 365): does anyone in the "real world" know about your chars? ( family/friends etc )Yes. Not everyone understands, but people do know.
Asked by Mimi, (from page 366): What do you think of collab-adopts? Like where two people team up to win characters?I think they are fun! It’s interesting to see what two different minds and art styles can do together!
How did you come up with you fursona?They are both characters that I just felt a strong pull towards.
How do you deal with art stealers?Never really had this problem personally, but you need to report them and take action.
What is your favorite character and why?(I love all my babies!!!) But an overall favorite would have to be my fursona, Xaviera
How do you come up with character names?It is honestly one of my favorite things about characters!!! I use several (baby) name sites that show the meanings and origins of the names. I use a few generators as well.
What do you look for in characters?Connection. Can I see me keeping/using them in the future? Do they look well designed? Will they fit into the “family” smoothly?
