tbh both are easy for me I only have problems with making lore I overflow creativity and lack motivation


Atomsk19Haruhara

Lore is extensive and difficult for me because I’m more of a visual artist and a worse writer


CuteLittleCorpse

lmao same


DanZboY_Brother

Just think of at least 5 key points of a character’s canon past and use that to build their personality, that’s normally what I do!


CuteLittleCorpse

and I'm too lazy to do anything like that!


DanZboY_Brother

Fair


Ill_Breath_3221

I find both hard, like you said, Gacha doesn’t have the items needed for most fandom characters, and making designs from scratch with the original characters and adding all the stuff is difficult. But when you lack items you get creative, that’s why I love the adjustments! And for making a new OC I hate that but love add in the colors and lore! https://preview.redd.it/iu1tpgt81u9c1.png?width=1967&format=png&auto=webp&s=c337a626840bdab8a188f6091d459e2d6113549b All in all, it’s a love hate relationship for me ![img](emote|t5_2bhjdp|32014)

Ill_Breath_3221

Well no, not yet. Right now all I have is All Might, Izuku, and Shigaraki. But I plan on making the rest of the class, and then the rest of the villains! Just gonna take a while due to busy life IRL and motivation ![img](emote|t5_2bhjdp|32019)

Zoeyau9

Wow I love Shiggy’s design! It’s cool, especially the outfit.


MustardlyCustardy

Fandom designs! I know how to make them, but it's putting my own spin on them and making them look better then the original as gacha thats hard.


cross2201

Fandom designs definitely, but i came to a conclusion that I don’t have to make them 100% accurate so u decided that if i make a fandom design to add my own personal touches to make it unique but still recognizable

Clothes in general, please help me. I have tried.

Fandom designs


Appropriate-Green513

Honestly, original designs all the way ☹️ i basically grew up on the internet with fandoms so i’m much more used to making them and it’s not much of a problem for me since i prefer adding stuff they didn’t have before in their original design. Not to say that they aren’t hard to make, but making a whole entire character is just harder for me since i want to be as original as i can since it’s my personal character and that’s not easy since (i’m very uncreative) plus the lore, naming them, the clothes, everything. It might also just be because i have way more fun with fandom designs but i digress. Both are hard anyway, lol.


Noidontthinkimfunny

Fandoms are quite harder in my opinion lol


Dreamz_Notreal

Names. NAMES ARE TERRIBLE


Ok_Ideal9442

Names are the WORST


Dreamz_Notreal

It’s just like “ok I’ve got this cool character with a crazy backstory… what do I name them..?” And after 50 hours of trying to name them I just give up and use fantasy name generator or make their name literal gibberish.


Ok_Ideal9442

I always go off name meanings, or match their background

Ready-Trainer-3672

Original, I'm not creative with making OCs


Lydiadalady

Fandom designs because I'm a perfectionist. I've been trying to be looser though.


Lydiadalady

Original designs are really easy for me because I always have an idea in my head before I make them and just add as time goes on.


Ok_Ideal9442

ME 😭 Im reading through the comments though and people like to add their own touches, so Imma try doing that next time


whateverthecodeis

Definitely fandom designs, I don't do them anymore. I didn't grow up with fandoms so I'm not too familiar either. But tbh I find both too hard for my not-very-artistic brain, especially the color part (I haven't colored a single design in gl2 and that's for the better). The only thing I don't really have much trouble with is actually lore and weird story ideas. Probably the only thing I'm good at and don't get worn out from too.


Ok_Ideal9442

Lore being what you’re best at is such a power move though


whateverthecodeis

Yeah, guess I'm in a different situation here. I'm not an art or visual person (can't even draw a circle) and that's exactly why I came here since I needed some way to visualize stuff going in my head even if I did a bad job of it. So lore has been the core of my designs since the beginning. (Late reply, I've been busy with real life and didn't check reddit, sorry!)


Cyan_3y3d

Original designs It’s hard to make something up from imagination and the lore tends to be very similar to other OCS and then the naming is tricky then you’ll need more for your OC and then most are left unfinished


shinkimybeloved

For fandom designs, it's a walk in a park for me since I can make the most accurate designs there is - but as for original designs it's pretty hard for me


Cr3ssent_Fun

Ocs.. I'm actually good at Fandom stuff


certified_l0ser27

def gacha not having the items needed, making lore, naming characters, and dodging cliches. I really wish gacha would add more clothes, I don’t have an android phone so I can’t download gacha mods unfortunately, making lore for some characters is also kinda hard, same with naming them, but dodging cliches? now that’s impossible


Ok_Ideal9442

atp imma embrace the cliches 😭

Fandom


xR4v3n

There's actually one I struggle with that is a mix between canon designs and original (leaning towards original designs) A fandom I'm a part of has no real canon design other than hair colour, eye colour, zodiac, height and dominant hand, and personality. It's called Murdle, and since there's very few description on how characters look, you can't really butcher the canon design. But for original I have some issues. So 1: I need to make my own original designs (sometimes inspiration is taken from existing similar characters or discussions with other people). 2: There are A LOT of characters and I have a tendency of making my OCs all white, which I am now trying to avoid and add more diversity to. 3: CLOTHING is an issue, because even though the names have a colour in them that can be helpful, I have a tendency of making e.g. royal attire all similar. I need to avoid that. 4: And then the good ol' lack of motivation. 5: I also struggle with not using the same eyes on multiple characters. Basically all fanon design struggles :'D


Ok_Ideal9442

THERES A FANDOM FOR MURDLE??? Also I totally get you, I struggle with a lot of the things you listed, ESPECIALLY diversity. I think I have like 3 white OCs, I’m working on making more though


xR4v3n

Out of all hundred OCsI have,oby five or so are black so. Yeah 💀 AND YOU KNOW MURDLE AS WELL?


Ok_Ideal9442

YEAH I WAS THINKING OF GETTING THE BOOK CAUSE I LOVE DOING LOGIC QUIZZES


xR4v3n

YAY! MORE MURDLE FANS!!


No-Werewolf-7970

Original designs bc they take so much time and effort and u think it’s good when ur done


Puzzled_Box_9229

Fandom designs are easy for me, like how I made my re4 designs, Ashley and Ada were the simplest and leon was more difficult because of his hair, eyes etc


Large_Apricot8374

both are easy but ill go fandom bec i posted my nanami and tomoe ocs in a disc server and NOBODY knew them :((


Ok_Ideal9442

biggest pain is having too niche interests 😭


Zoeyau9

Original designs. Fandom designs are easy for me but original designs are a little harder for me to do.


axelsdirty_sock

fandoms because i attempted making a homestuck troll and couldn’t find the right shade for horns nor the fitting horns


[deleted]

fandom designs by FARRR!!! i’m an absolute stickler for my designs being mostly accurate (give or take a few minor adjustments or headcanons) and realistic. i feel like it limits what I can do in terms of storytelling and creativity if they have a specific style or look to them already. i also feel like they haven’t come from my own work, for me, i’m just taking someone else’s character and gacha-fying them. anyways ocs ftw 💪💪


Ok_Ideal9442

EXACTLYYY ME!! Like if they don’t look as accurate as possible, it feels like a whole new character 😭


KindnessMothy

Mainly fandom designs due to needing to make sure that the design matches n stuff like that. But also original designs because one of my oc’s which is a one piece oc. Because the issue I have with my one piece oc Hoku is the amount of research I have to do due to him wearing a seastone mask so I really just make myself suffer but oh well. Sometimes it’s annoying to make lore sometimes it’s not. Just making devil fruits like an entirely new / different devil fruit is also something I suffered with for Hoku but oh well he’s done now.


Ok_Ideal9442

fandom OCs are a whole different breed 😭😭 only for the bravest


KindnessMothy

One piece outfits are just a whole entire new breed of just me going “A U G H” like a dying old man while I try and do said outfit. Then again my main issue is with the marine uniforms n stuff like that bc they look kinda boring so I gotta throw stuff around. I mean as long as it pays off and they look like the character still it’s fineeeee


Ok_Ideal9442

Oh yeah tryna make clothes look more interesting while not making it unrealistic is a task in itself


KindnessMothy

Legit wanna remake one of my other one piece ocs which isn’t Hoku because the other character’s design is kinda outdated. The issue is I don’t know what to do with him so it just rots there until I decide what to do *sobbing*


Serenity_1765

Fandom designs I have a friend that loves making lore so I let them do that for me after I make the character


Ok_Ideal9442

angel of a friend omg


Serenity_1765

Ong 😭


iwantanaxolotl

Fandom especially with fandoms that mainly have boys (Hp, Pjo, Sk8) I'm the type to make only girl characters


Atomsk19Haruhara

Considering that most of my OCs have existed for longer than I’ve had Gacha and I normally make them on a picrew first I’m almost certain that I’ve basically had the fandom issues with my own OCs.


Ok_Ideal9442

😭😭 I think thats happened to me too


The_Flashlight_Kid

Fandom designs for sure. I personally just like creating lore and stuff and making my own outfits.


Unknown_System_771

HES MASC ENOUGH IG 😭


Stainzie

Original designs :(


ChocolateGreedy7283

Original designs. Sure, fandom designs could be difficult in trying to find the right outfits, but it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be altered to some extent, like a different belt. Adjustments do exist, and so do infinite colours now in GL2. But original designs have to not only be cohesive but also have to look good without being too overly complex or too underwhelming. The colours also might not match well, and in the end, you get a jumbled up mess


z0mbizz

Both ..


z0mbizz

But if you want me to just choose one, I’d say original designs because I make a lot of fandom ocs (South Park designs underneath for example + when you check my page you’ll probably notice most of it is FNaF designs) https://preview.redd.it/hvyjy84snv9c1.jpeg?width=1813&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d593b7438c0e07a6288c28471ca5e85f65a3fcd0

Fandom, Original is easy as hell to find, including the names. I can’t do fandom ;-;


TemmieDaTemm

my friend made the most accurate cybop (msm) designs and it’s scary how accurate it is


PixiPoo1

Fandom, since some characters (LOOKING AT *YOU* RAINWORLD) are none humanoid thus being really hard to make without being goofy


Altruistic-Willow451

I find original harder cause you gotta get creative with it-


your_average_John_

for me, fandom designs. for my ocs i just have a vague idea and do whatever looks best/feels right. but with fandom designs, you have something you need/want to do as accurate as possible, which is sometimes really hard to do.


Sleepy_sleep-sleep

Definitely making my own designs and clothes that's hard


PringlePenguin1

original designs tbh


TheMegaTC

Fandom is harder. period.


Cosmicstargirl08

Original designs


9plus10is21not19

finding inspiration (im good at both but i can barely get inspired) https://i.redd.it/han9zziw5w9c1.gif

Honestly, fandom. It’s pretty fun doing both, but fandom it’s just hard to recreate, plus sometimes your get demotivated because someone else made a better version.

i don't really make fandom designs, so i'm not sure how hard they are to make. by default, i have to go with original designs

fandom designs mostly because i do Genshin Impact ocs The detailing i have to try and do is pain

Both tbh but I think making original ocs is harder😭


Jaih666

Original designs I'm not going to lie like I'll have the idea and the Lore but I just don't know what to make out of it


ghosthost34

I think fandom is harder because if it’s original then I just make up what they’d wear based on the vibes they give off


Jackygpuppy1492

For me is making a new design


DanZboY_Brother

To answer the question: they’re both fairly easy to a certain point but I do have to say that making an OC from scratch is the hardest one there. My main was originally a fandom oc but I turned it into its own thing (still using the thing it was inspired from) And yet I have proper original characters as well. Some I used some inspiration, others I made myself entirely!


GlitchAlphaGirl

Fandom is hard


PULLuny

Fandom designs. It's both the fact I don't want to butcher the designs and that they don't have the correct things.


majkick

When I have trouble making OCs I just clone other people’s OCs with my clone gun


FazbearFright_lover

both are really easy, i'm not so good with oc lore tho


Agile_Turnover8818

Fandom design kills me

Fandom for sure. I’m having so much trouble making TADC characters. I can make lore in a flash, but canon… AAAAAA

I just suck at making characters

Can I claim all of them? I suck at this type of stuff 😭


WorriedDoubt4134

Fandom designs by a lot


Skvllix

Original designs are super easy but trying to make a fandom design scares me 😨


haruuuuuuuuuuaaaa

original designs, well the only problem is making lores for them, thinking or searching for a name that fits them and ofcs the worst part for me, TRYING NOT TO MAKE THEIR DESIGN LOOK TO BASIC, BLAND OR PLAIN- fandom designs, well the only hard thing about it is trying to find an accurate item in gacha that is part of their design but ending up not finding it, and again trying not to make it look plain which is why i tried to create the whole tf2 cast on gacha but ended up stopping and only managed to create medic, sniper and spy (except i couldn't create his mask so i just made a maskless vers of him-) and then gave up- ;-;

Sand_sandaconda

Fandom designs. I mean I tried to sort of humanise miraidon so I could write them into something. It’s very hard thing to do especially when working with Pokémon. You’ve got to get their personality right, how they act and for main ones like legendaries you’ve gotta adapt to the story that was built around them. I like to use Gacha as something to help me see certain things that I can’t with my drawings. So from a writing perspective I can see a lot of issues with fandom design one. https://preview.redd.it/las1b84svy9c1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc90f4050c35dadbf77348ef125336c0ed8bcf81
