WELCOME TO THE OC PLAZA! An experimental post created for artists to share and make fanart of each other's characters!
I've noticed recently that a lot of artists here have been creating 'requests posts', where they ask people to give them their original characters for them to draw, either because they lack inspiration, they want to draw for people or simply because they're bored. Well, the main purpose of this post is for all of those artists to have a bunch of different OCs to draw all in the same place for them to choose!
How does it work?
If you have an OC that you want to get art of you just have to leave a comment down below with a reference of your character and specifying that anyone can draw them. Write "[DRAW ME]" above the image itself so people know you're submitting a character (just for the sake of having this a bit organized). If you want to submit more than one please do so in a single comment instead of multiple.
If you are an artist looking for characters to draw you can just take a look at the ones submitted with the specified tag. If you want to upload a drawing you made for someone here use "[OC OF (user)]" so people don't think you're uploading a character. And if you want for people to ask you in particular (maybe through DMs) you can write "[ASK ME]".
Is there any rules?
Well, besides the non-obligatory tags listed above, there's 2 main rules:
I want to specify that this post was not made in spite of the requests posts and rather it was made as a compliment for both the artists and the people who want art of their designs, giving them a more compact space to come back and have a more fluid experience, as well as to avoid making any "compromise" with users.
Given that this is not an official NG "event" there's no prizes, deadlines or pressure of any kind. If people are interested in the topic it will stay alive, if not, then it will die. Although, on that note, I'll personally try to keep it alive by participating myself once in a while. At the end of the day I've always loved drawing for others!
^-^
I'll be havin' a go at this, then! Images for reference, and with a link to my submission with in-depth explanations on who all these three are.
Thank you for putting up a cool connecting event like this. Wish you good luck on whatever may require your attention outside of NG.
[DRAW ME]
The Gun Brothers.
If anyone is interested in them: i do not assume that all three would be drawn at once. I'm putting my characters out here, and if they just catch people's fancy, that's already sweet as is.
In essence, they're a trio of thugs and significant villains for a cartoonish character world of mine. Neil Gun, Qin (pronounced like "Chin") Gun and Sanjay Gun.
- Neil's fuppin' paranoid and can produce iron nails of various lenghts from his hand palms. Not the first one to fight, but if necessary, fight he *will*. His paranoia has had its upsides in taking all possibilities a job could go wrong into account.
- Qin is a bit of a thrillseeker, and has genuine skills to back up his arrogance, but his love for action tends to override long-term thinking and has cost them their loot in the past. He took up the unofficial role of leader, because he keeps his eye out for where the action is.
- Sanjay has the thankless and exhausting position of being the balancing fulcrum between his two brothers, and regularly gets tired of their antics. He is also the most sociable-- in the sense that he has people skills. But there's a hidden nastiness to him, as the hidden spring-loaded blades in his sanjiegun can attest.
Here's their submission with more info on them (as well as a forward-facing image of Qin).
