Self-Inserts and OCs

[Emil]

I know. I'm the crown prince of self-deprecation, after all!

[Sunflower]

Much as I would love to do this..
I can't draw. At all.
Here, this helps to illustrate (ayyy, puns) why I should never be an artist: http://snag.gy/fnAyb.jpg
(Okay, so maybe I drew that on a laptop touchpad in about 3 seconds, in Paint, but still. My hand-drawn pictures are worse.)

I can't draw either.  But play your cards right, and you can get someone else to draw you!   

EDIT:  Warning, results may vary.  Do not let "seiđkids" style your hair if they are not also licensed beauticians.

This is an idea I can get behind. :')

But its not like you can't improve or anything! I think my art sucks sometimes, but when you compare
this
,
to

this, it really puts things into perspective for me.(and yes, that is the same character) 
So keep trying! Flounder around feeling useless! Cry a little! Stop comparing yourself to people who have been drawing consistently for a while. We all had stick figure stages.

We all had stick figure stages.

Much as I love art, I'll resign myself to never being good at it. Not enough co-ordination. Again, thanks for the kind words, but I'll just do what Sunflower recommends and persuade someone else to draw a load of stuff for me. Easier that way too.
(And again, I'm just being all self-deprecating because it's what I do- not fishing for compliments/reassurance here.)

ParanormalAndroid - (I saw you spoke Welsh and just had to sorry. It's pretty exciting for me whenever another speaker pops up (as some people may have noticed - sorry guys)) Basically just saying that pictures start off rubbish but if you try that do get better, and if boyo is willing to wait until after I'm done with Curry's trade, and sketch a bit to give me an idea of what to do I'll draw something.

paid a bod mor galed ar dy ddoniau dy hun del! Roedden ni i gyd yn gwneud llyniau felly ar un adeg, ond gwnei di byth wella os nad wyt eisiau gwneud ac os and wyt yn trio dy orau pan rwyt yn ymarfer. Os hoffet, mi wnai dynnu llun o dy ssssona di ar dy gyfer os wyt yn fodlon aros ychydig back (dwi ynghannol cyfnewid celf hefo Curry yr eiliad hon), fel ffafr i siaradwr arall Rho fymryn bach o ymdrech at olwg a chymeriadu i rhoi syniad i mi beth i sgetsio a fe wnai weld be gallai wneud!

KicknRun - That's quite the development and I'm glad that you can see the improvement as well. Some artists are so self critical it gets in the way of fun and getting better, and everyone who draws from the heart is an artist! I hope you continue drawing and getting better because your stuff really has been improving and I know it will improve some more!

Gah! Another Welsh speaker!
Shwmae, Gwenno! Os dw i'n siarad Gymraeg, rwyf wedi colli'r arfer a dwyf i ddim o'r bron hyderus nawr.. Mae'n eto wych i siarad Gymraeg gyda chi.
Hoffet ti siarad fwy gyda fi? Mae'n wastad diddorol i siarad yng Nghmraeg, ond fy ffrindiau ddim yn siarad byth achos mae'n nhw'n ddim yn hoffi hynny, a dweud a gwir- mae'n eithaf trist. .-.
Beth bynnag, hwyl fawr am y tro?

[Haiz]

oh gosh I miss this thread a lot, too........ I will make a proper return to it soon enough >:]

Piney: It makes me really happy you liked it so much ^___________________^

and everyone who commented on it, thank you lots and lots, I'm really happy with how it turned out!! I tried to go for, idk, the moment you realize you may have done a wrong choice, but you can't turn back and you won't turn back and you feel pretty lost and scared but also determined to see things through? But being haunted by the sight accordion trolls and cacophonous potato sacks works, too

KMK: if you want to make a self-insert character, you're free to do whatever wishfulfillment you want!

Daéa Reina: hahaha YES that's my troll

there have been a lot of really great drawings here the past few days, all of you are amazing, and WELCOME to new crewmembers, you look hecka awesome. Special mention to the sami cleanser, or more like HELL YES SAMI CLEANSER

and for those who don't draw, don't worry!! You can create a character anyway, someone will get around to drawing you at some point ^___________^ and even then, we're all pretty encouraging of people practicing their drawing, too :3c art evolution is Real and Beautiful

I really love the concept, and it's actually pretty in-character too!

And, um, I said I would finish yours on Monday but I was terribly unproductive so... I'm still on the lineart.
(Also I don't know how in-character it is, but I passed the point of no return long ago)

[Piney]

I'm double-posting, but here is the majestic Haiz-


(So I don't even know if your character is the kind of person to fall asleep like this but the pose was so darn hard to draw that I couldn't back out)

[Noodles]

I'm double-posting, but her is the majestic Haiz-

eeeeeeeee ze's so adorable! Very majestic.

This is an idea I can get behind. :')

If you PM me your sona's general appearance and clothing, I could put something together for you.
