And....no art up yet xD
Hiya everyone!! It's the weekend yet again and I'm going to leave a mini post before I go on to do my homework! AP tests are just around the corner(about a month from today) and I've really gotta study up as well! @__@
I HAVE been working on art though!(and if you don't believe me, I'll send a WIP screenshot for you to see as proof xD) I've got quite a bit to do..especially Sayoko-chan's contest entry!(I'll get to that soon, Sayoko-chan!)
Er...what else? Not much really xD I've been thinking too much about the guy I like lately and it's really not good for me LOL I'm trying to push him aside to concentrate on my work, however...so hopefully everything goes okay ^^: Even though I think he likes someone else...
Anywhos~ I am off to do my work ^^: There hasn't been much happening besides what I just explained above xD I'll be sure to get around to commenting soon(I apologize for being lazy/busy)~ and also I'll get to pms as well!
Oh, that's what I forgot to talk about xD *just remembered*
I'm having a bit of problem with the originality of KH OCs at the moment, even though I shouldn't be. It's not like me to have to think negatively about other people's OCs, really it isn't, but originality has been starting to grow on me more and more. I think this is mostly because lately there has been a bit of lack of creativity in the KH section(example: the "fanart" made from a googled picture of Sora), and I just wish that people would spend more time thinking about their OCs and their stories.
It's alright to make an AU(alternate universe) for your OC and their story, that's fine. Like Sayoko-chan's story is completely suited to the characters she decides to use, and that's fine. However I REALLY don't like it when character personalities/interest aren't kept the same because then the original canon characters are completely distorted to fit with the interests of the OC/otherwise. On top of that, there's also creating an ENTIRELY new KH(like a Kingdom Hearts 3 or 4...), I don't know, but it seems a bit unoriginal. I would just create an AU for your own OCs rather than do that, but that's just me.
But what really made me think about this was when I saw a Nobody for a CANON character that was created and I thought that was a little bit too much. For Riku, sure, I guess it could possibly apply because he DID have a replica made in KH CoM, but otherwise I don't really see the creativity in creating a Nobody for a character existing in the series.
I would point out examples, but I don't know if I want to go to that level yet xD This was just a mini rant about the originality of people's OCs that I happened to notice over time, is all.
So I just hope, no matter what, that you try and make your OCs(no matter the category) as original and thoughtful as possible. I only have 2 OCs for other categories(Tokyo Mew Mew and Kingdom Hearts) and I spend sooo much time thinking about their stories. I made sure that Riiya did not have a keyblade and that she did not look anything like Sora/Kairi/Riku for originality purposes and it took me EONS to do xD I'm not saying Riiya is at all perfect because really she isn't. And I'm not saying that no one thinks about their OCs, because I'm sure a lot of you, if not all of you that I know that are reading this post, think a lot about your OCs. In fact, for me it's really really enjoyable to read about the profiles/refs of other people's KH OCs because it's REALLY inspiring and enlightening ^^ I even learn from them on how to try and make Riiya a bit more original as well. So thank you all for your inspiration! ^^
Anyways, I think I've said too much xD So I'm going to go now =P Take care everyone(and I do apologize if any of this comes across to any of you all as offensive)~
