Don't worry, this isn't a rant. It's مزید of a discussion-type thing -- on a matter that's been bugging me slightly as of late.
The other دن I was randomly searching through DA like I occasionally do, just looking at pictures and searching for some inspiration, and I came across a TON of stamps discussing things like OCs, fandoms, and so on. Many of them screamed things like, "RAR KILL ALL RECOLORS" یا "MY OCS ARE SO TOTALLY ٹھنڈے, کولر THAN YOUR FANCHARACTER!"
I'm not surprised سے طرف کی this at all. In fact, I agree with what people are saying to some degree. Everyone knows that recolors are unoriginal and boring, and that it's good to strive for originality. But I also have some problems with the arguments that people are making about fandoms vs. original creations, and now I'd like to give my two cents.
First of all, regarding recolors. The fact is, guys, that almost EVERYONE starts off with a recolor when they create a fancharacter. At that point, they're not usually concerning themselves with originality یا uniqueness -- they just want to make a fandom based on something they like. Maybe they don't know how to make the character design their "own," یا how to give that character a personality that isn't considered cliche. In essence, they haven't really matured yet, so their fancharacter turns out to be a recolor یا a clone.
If you're a GOOD artist, however, آپ will eventually realize that your fancharacter is nothing مزید than a recolor, and redesign them. That's what I've gone through with several of my Sonic fancharacters. Nearly all of them started out as recolors, Cyan being the worst. I made her when I was about 14 یا 15, back in my uber-fangirl phase. I didn't think much of her design back then -- she was simply a lighter-colored Sonic with a tuft of hair on her head and a دل marking on her belly. But as I grew, learned مزید and مزید about character design and matured a little, I realized the flaws with her design. I've yet to redesign Cy -- it's something I've been meaning to do for a long while. One reason it hasn't been seen yet is because I hardly draw Cy anymore. But I have redesigned a few of my other characters, such as Aethon. Are they perfect? Of course not -- آپ can't really get a perfect with a fancharacter. But they're better than they were.
My point is that آپ should give people time to grow and experiment before bitching them out about creating recolors. We're all beginners and "n00bs" at some point, whether we like it یا not. If people say they never started with a recolor, chances are they're lying. Everyone has to start somewhere, and the start of any endeavor is often modest. Just give people a break -- that's all I'm saying.
Then there's OCs, یا so-called original characters. I have a few of these, too: Ranger, Sub Zero and the wolves of SZL, and the cast from my story "Wolf Rider." I definitely support OCs; it's awesome when آپ can make a character and a world out of your own mind and your own heart. It shows creativity, imagination and vision.
HOWEVER, I think that some people with OCs are rather full of themselves. They parade their characters around, proclaiming that they're SO original, SO unique, and therefore SO much better than other characters. People, we have to realize that NOTHING is completely, 100% original. I'm sorry, but it's just impossible =\. As one of my art teachers likes to say, "Everything has already been done before." No matter what concept آپ come up with, it will always, in some way, relate to someone else's ideas. There are billions of human minds out there. If آپ think آپ can come up with an idea that no one else has ever thought of, یا ever will think of, you're a fool.
That's not to say that آپ can't be مزید original than someone else. Indeed, آپ can. But don't let it inflate your ego too much. Whether آپ admit it یا not (or realize it یا not), your ideas and concepts have مزید than likely originated from someone else's ideas. That doesn't make آپ a copycat. You're a copycat if آپ steal someone else's idea to a tee, and claim it all as your own. There should be no shame in being inspired سے طرف کی other people's work -- it happens naturally, so don't be afraid of it.
That said, I hope everyone can better understand my opinions on fancharacters and original characters. I do not totally support یا oppose one یا the other. To me creation is creation. People have many ways of expressing themselves, and sometimes they need time to grow and change before we scream at them. Just don't get too carried away with your rants and raves.
And that's all I have to say for now. Whew. Glad that's out of the way. Peace out, everybody.

"what happen" "she...." "come with me silver, I can دکھائیں آپ a place that will make آپ happy" I walk silver to a fountin on the outskirts of town. "Here it is" "wow" silver says "I always come here when I'm sad" I say "where's you're family" "I don't have much of one, there's my sister ruby the hedgehog" I say "At least that's someone" silver says "I kinda like you" "I have no girlfriend"silver says "Are آپ asking me to be your girlfriend, then yes" I say.
