Nows prolly a good time to start making character profiles

Well... there's only 10 days or so until Art Fight begins... good luck!

But yes, it may be a good idea to try to get character references in before the event begins! The site could experience some slowness and possible downtime in the first few days, so it's best to upload your references before all of that!

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

Photographed by Martin Schoeller for The New Yorker in 2002:

 "I was hired by the New Yorker in 2002 to photograph Robin Williams, and after doing my research what stood out most for me was that he was a very physical comedian. I came up with this idea to photograph him swinging from a chandelier in a grand hotel room. Most publicists shoot down these kinds of wild ideas, so I didn't tell anyone what I was up to, but rigged up a chandelier at the Waldorf Astoria hotel for him to swing from. When Robin got there and saw what was happening, he lifted up his shirt and showed me this enormous scar on his shoulder. He'd just had surgery and couldn't so much as lift his arm. He was so disappointed! He really felt bad about not being able to do it, because he loved the idea and really wanted to help me accomplish my vision. 

Unlike most Hollywood stars, he was unfazed by his success and position. He talked to everyone from stylists to the crew, to the hotel staff. We ended up asking a maid at the hotel to swing from the chandelier instead, and I asked him to just sit there and read a newspaper, which I think in the end was an even funnier, more unexpected picture.

I may have missed it somewhere, sorry if I did! But I understand that AUs of canon characters are allowed, but how drastically different should the changes be? Is just a change of outfit okay? And are crossover characters okay with credit to both things?

AU characters are determined by them having at least one distinct visual difference from the original source, so an outfit change would be okay. And yes, crossover characters would be allowed as long as both things are credited!

[theidlespoon]

writer culture is creating a sunshine character and then making them go through so much trauma that they're unrecognisable

I made these for a Secret Santa gift exchange over on the BatPham Community discord server. They were made for Strawberry, based off a prompt they provided! The BatPham Community server is a fandom server for a mixture of Batfamily and Danny Phantom content. (Batfamily, as in Batman's various family members... there's quite a few.)
