I should've made this a whileee back haha I wanted to make a guide like this for a while but I kept forgetting...

Of course, you're free to make your *fan-characters however you like, but if you'd like to keep them closer to canon this would be a good guide to follow.

(it is also just generally preferred by me as I don't like my character's designs to be referenced too closely...)

I do appreciate and love to see what you guys have come up with though, it makes me really happy that people enjoy my work enough to feel inspired by it.

*(it feels weird to use the word "fan" but I'm not sure of a better way to put it...)

All of the characters I draw are mature + intelligent, unless stated otherwise (with the occasional exception of brain-damage...)
