Lately I have been on a quest to create some new OC's.
But in doing this I've ran across a big problem.
Descriptions.
Its incredibly hard to find a picture on the internet that goes along well with your character and it can also be difficult to get your words how you want them.
So what to do?
I'm looking for suggestions! Remember though not to mention any games or anything as thats against the rules although I think websites are okay (?)
PM me if needed!

Just write out your character's appearance. Try not to rely on a photograph, except for maybe body structure. Start simple. Write maybe a few sentences or a paragraph. Then use that to expand on your char's appearance.
It takes some time to come up with ideas. Try not to rush it.
---------
For example, I started with this: "A massive wolf of 50 inches (130 cm) in height. He has a very thick coat, colored a dark grey. A bright red "hood" masks his forehead, in stark contrast to his greyness. The red runs all the way down his back, and goes on to tip the ends of his three tails. Underneath his eyes is are black checkmarks, alongside a black nose and ears. The red on right paw is a permanent blood stain from a family feud."
Then took that to expand into this description under his "Appearance" tab: https://toyhou.se/1808809.thomassen-levora Edited at February 18, 2018 04:12 PM by Vennenum

That's good too. I've found going on Pinterest and finding a picture first and building a character around it is fun.

I try not to do that. I don't like using other people's pics for anything unless I have their express permission to write on or about it it. Copyright issues are not fun. Edited at February 20, 2018 02:12 AM by Vennenum
