It bothers me when the character looks obviously similar to the other one and they person gets all mad at the other person for pointing it out. There's that meme on DA about how they get upset about it and the post what their characters look like and complain that they don't, but sometimes they REALLY do (sometimes they just don't...O.o;).
Ah, you're right...and that's a good analogy. 'cause there are tons of songs out there and tons of characters out there. I guess the same could be said of any creation, that it's never going to be 100% original.
I hadn't noticed, but that's quite a doppelganger! At least you're being a champ about it. Like you pointed out, some people get ugly when it's brought to their attention their character looks similar to a pre-existing one.
Re-designing definitely expands your horizons *nod nod*
Honestly, making an OC is like making a song. There is so many of them out there, some are bound to be similar. I wouldn't stress out too badly if your OC's aren't 100% unique.
