Good understanding of character design. look up guides on youtube and study some characters you like. Also good writing.

mix soul eater reaction images + a dash of toriyama and family guy.

[Anonymous No.4645017]

>good OC

well do you want a real answer or do you consider "good" to mean an edgy manic pixie dreamgirl tiddymonster /fa/ mary sue?

good requires fundamentals of character design,visual storytelling, and shape language.
"good" requires spiky teeth, bags under the eyes, bangs and striped stockings.

>>4645017

[Anonymous No.4645045]

i dont know why people come here and make threads about things they could easily google in less than 30 seconds.

Is this skullgirls

[Anonymous No.4645071]

>>4645065
eh, they just wanna talk. Let them.

[Anonymous No.4645103]

>>4645071
but there are real things to talk about why start conversations with brainless shitposting. This is 4chan not a meeting in a coffeeshop where you have to butter someone up before you get to fuck them

[Anonymous No.4645118]

you copy obscure characters

[Anonymous No.4645120]

>>4645045
yeah

[Anonymous No.4645125]

>>4645103
nigga shut your beta ass up

[Anonymous No.4645131]

>>4645103
Yeah, but Anon, conversations are not 1-dimensional and should not be
if it starts with
>how do people come up with good OCs?
you evolve the conversation while still being on topic
>What makes good OCs?
>good fundies, design, visuals etc
And you go from there or just stop posting and the thread will get deleted on its own

Iteration from drawing them way too much.

[Anonymous No.4645358]

Take an event from your life, tweak some details, and create a character around it.

Alternatively snag one of those DeviantArt OC text templates, set a timer for 2 minutes, and fill the entire thing out

He’s right though. Those are visually unappealing and boring to boot.

[Anonymous No.4645375]

>>4645120
nope sorry.

[Anonymous No.4645452]

Never do something that isn't cartoony because you won't be able to do exaggerated shapes so people can get the idea fast. Ocs don't talk and the idea of an OC's personality not being clear from his clothes makes you a failure

[Anonymous No.4645493]

>>4645452
Uhhh.. but I've seen people do it all the time. Do you even have experience with that or do you hate using shape language in realistic characters because you're not good enough at it?

[Anonymous No.4645512]

>>4645493
What I hate is that they think that a character must be one dimensional and his looks always tells you everything you need to know. A big guy can't be a softy with that logic because big and muscle = rude and tough

[Anonymous No.4645631]

>>4645452
Please kill yourself, or at least don’t ever attempt to give advice ever again. Not all of us want to draw like a fucking CalArts cartoon.
