Amazing Sonic fancharacters display!

~ShuffleStar:iconShuffleStar: reports, June 26
In a world of fanart, you're bound to run into fancharacters. Fancharacters are characters that are made for a certain series' cannon. Some people can't find any decent fancharacters, so they just end up hating them in general.



It's a shame for the diamonds in the rough to be ignored like that! Most of these great fancharacters are overshadowed by "recolors" and "Mary Sues". Re-colors are very easy to define, they often look very similar to a pre-existing charcter, exept for some minor changes and a new color scheme. This is a very good example of some characters out there:

Sadly, even though this is a joke character, I've seen so many people take their characters seriously like that. It's repulsive and awful that so many people have bad ideas like this. These bad ideas often over-shadow the decent to amazing fancharacters. If you have any fancharacters that you think have potential, please note me, *ShuffleStar, and I'll feature it in an edition 2!

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG:

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:
+ Shade and Jade Coyotes, created by *kelessic
+ Emerald the Treasure Hunter, created by *ShuffleStar
+ Nokkard, Chaos Warrior, created by =RoksanaTH
+ Titus the Porcupine, by ~silveramysaurus07
+ The Surfing Hedgehog (Un-named design character), created by ~ProjectHazoid
+ Mirage the Ghost, created by *ShuffleStar

******THIS FEATURE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! LIKE I SAID, IT'S VERY HARD TO FIND GREAT FANCHARACTERS. IF YOU SEE ANY, OR HAVE ANY, THAT YOU THINK ARE SUPER-ORIGINAL, PLEASE NOTE *ShuffleStar! I WILL UPDATE WITH A 2ND EDITION AS SOON AS I GET MORE AMAZING FANCHARACTERS!******

Minor Off-topic feature:
If you're into light-hearted original fiction, and like anthros / furries, you should check this out! Only A World Away is an original fiction written by amateur author *ShuffleStar about Charlie "Lammy" Labem, a drummer in a band, who has to do community service in order to get out of going back to High School.

Interested? It's short, fun, and an adventure in the making!

:aww: You featured my art :love: :glomp:
Thanks!

It is a shame, but I kinda don't mind recolors anymore (I don't mean recolored sprites 'cuz that's art theft ^^; I mean characters that may look like the canon cast) . At first it annoyed me, but I find that as the person gets better at art and storytelling, their characters improve =D

Take Aaron for example:
Old:[link]
New:[link]

He started pretty much exactly like Sonic (Though he was never a recolor). I gave him some vague personality traits. Like: "He likes girls and he's a hero and... he um likes girls?" :lol:
Now that I look back on it, I would have made him another species. I did improve a bit on him though, but only after learning about character development.

Of course people have to know that they can't get away with drawing recolors forever, but I think they'll learn how to make them look more unique eventually :nod:

You have a good point!
I'm more upset about people with "unrealistic" characters. Aaron is good, because he's god a
"realistic" bio / personailty, while most recolors have the "ALL CHARACTERS LOVE ME, AND ALL MY FAMILY IS DEAD. I SHOULD BE AN EMO BUT I STILL AVE TONS OF FRIENDS AND I CAN BEAT SHADOW IS A CHAOS RACE." Personality.
