General OC musings and questions
So I've been off and on pondering some things for a bit and I figured I'd see what other people thought.
Like, obviously there's a whole slew of OCs bobbing around here. I feel like a lot of the more popular ones are the property of competent artists who can push out images of their own character to establish a fanbase, but that's not the case for all of them. Also can't really say quantity is ENTIRELY related to how well received some characters are/aren't, either, so yeah...
What has me curious is overall, what do we feel makes for a good hypno OC? I suspect the qualities needed differ depending on if they're a sub or dom, and I think it'd be interesting to see what people think.
[Like, I'm personally mindful of the fact that Ara is visually nondescript and doesn't really boast any feature or gimmick to grab appeal. I mostly draw for my own gratification though and have to say she's garnered a pretty respectable number of images from other artists all things considered?]
[Though on that note I feel like it might be a bit easier to have a dom stand out via specific methods of hypnosis and suchlike? which isn't so much a route available to making a distinct sub character? Maybe?]
So yeah, what makes for a good OC, and/or who do we think some of the more popular ones about are, why do they work and any other OC related thoughts anybody might have.
