User blog:ITH/ITH's Guide to a great, original Character

O.K. I've been thinking about it for a while, and decided to share it with you guys. The summary is self-explanitory. Okay, let's get started!
 * 1) DON'T make a recolor. Especially the sloppy ones. Not that I have a problem with them, but they attract trolls, and you dont want that problem in your hands. It's okay to do so, but I suggest you don't.
 * 2) DON'T Pair your sonic (fan) character with a (official) character. This ALSO causes problems. Trolls will say: "**** YOU! YOU PAIRED HIM/HER WITH AN OFFICAL CHARACTER!" or something like that. But like UCD (Uncrusheddreams) says, "Don't feed the trolls".
 * 3) Make an original Design. It's okay to use a base, as long as you're going to edit it. Just don't make it look outrageous. 'Nuff Said. Moving on.
 * 4) Always edit a character completely! Okay, you have an original character. Now that you're all done, SCRAM! You still here? BYE. (And when I said "SCRAM", I was using ironic elements.)
