Make your own idea dont recolor
I can literally make Nazo or Seelkadoom in 30 seconds in Paint 3D recoloring an image of Sonic or Super Sonic, does that make them bad OC's?
Also, OC's technically can't be unoriginal because OC stands for "original character". If an OC is unoriginal, it's not an OC.
Sort of
Msot "oc's" are different than the actual characters
Bruh moment.
"Most oc's" includes recolors.
