Reactions to your OCs

I know one or two people IRL who are very interested in certain characters and send them silly doodles or works in progress when I can. I wouldn't say they were die hard fans, though. I'm sure they just like looking at pretty men.

I have IRL friends who draw fanart of Masahiro and Akane! XD It's amazing and flattering and totally cool.

I have a friend who really likes Tula, she thinks I based the character off myself but really I had her in mind while creating.

My greatest fear right there -- that it won't ever happen.

A weird variation of it: that it will happen with some really minor character (!?!?), leaving my babies unloved...

My real life friends like my OC's although I wouldn't say they go nuts about them xD I get fan art from friends every now and then.
It's usually the online people that tend to throw me a whole bunch of interesting compliments and I sometimes get weird notifications on who put my characters in their collections on DeviantArt. Mel and Lucy have both been put into some really creepy collections lol

I've been fortunate enough to get some really nice comments on my character designs so far. I don't know if anyone is attached to any of them yet but it's very early in the story.

Few of my friends read my comic. I know they like the story but I'm not sure what they think of the characters. That's a good question to ask.
Maybe they'll tell me later on, when I go deeper into the plot.

I know my villian Socha REALLY get a rise out of people, Garf seems to be a crowd pleasing for his blunt but loving nature. People are trying to suss Bowen and as for Teb, people says she's cute ... but in all honesty I dont have a lot of feedback on the characters ^^; not sure if that good or bad

same!

My characters should be easy to read. At least for people who know their real versions. All my characters are inspired on friends excluding myself and my house pet cat) I don't know if it's a good thing or bad to know your characters or not ^^'

I have only one friend irl who is reading my series. Actually, she's also helping me from time to time with preparing margins and frames. And the last time she was helping me, she said that she really likes one of my characters. While pointing at another one. So I'm not sure if she meant it XD

I've convinced a few of my friends to read my comic, but most of them are silent readers apart from the occasional "Oh, I really liked your last page, by the way!"
I have one friend who does get excited ("HE'S CUTE!", "Those eyebrows though!!") but I don't know if that's just because she gets excited about a lot of things or that she actually does have a particular interest in them. :') I get pretty excited by them though, so that's good enough for me. B)

My friends who have read my comic, really love to Telmo because of his personality, and I have a friend who has a love-hate for my other character Hiroto. But for the main, none has said a word yet xD
My readers haven't said anything about anything anyway, I hope in the future to see that though xD

I've only shown one IRL friend my comic so far but she really likes my oc Soph and has commented on what lines of her's she likes the most so far. I have quite a few online friends tho who always make comments when the pages go up. The general consensus is that they like Howie and are EXTREMELY worried for him haha. I have one friend who always calls him"the marshmallow" which i find endearing as heck.

well, all my RL guy fans are obsessed with my OC, Laurena (in profile pic)
they've said its because of her personality and such (which is literally mine) but im pretty sure its the boobs
my RL fans with demented minds all LOVE Alice and Alucard (yes as in Wonderland girl and Hellsing cough cough Abridged preferably cough character)
because of the fact that they take blood, guts, gore, S&M, and sh*t like that to INSANE levels (puns intended)
however, my biggest RL fan (besides my boo) which is my bestie, is absolutely OBSESSED with my character Usachan (yeah yeah, I know, Ouran High School Host Club. YES. THAT Usachan, but as a human(ish) and waaaaaay sexier)
every time I see her she ALWAYS (literally. ALWAYS) asks "how's Usachan? Got any updates on him? Got any artworks made of him?" etc etc
she's even in denial of her obsession with him o.O

Atari seems to be popular among my fans, I've noticed.

Also, one of my friends really likes Taito (who's shown up once so far in a minor role). Must be her cool hoodie

A few years ago when I first started being interested in comics, I lived four hours away from my best friend and the separation actually helped because I felt disconnected enough to share a lot of my stories and characters with her. It was the first time I'd ever really shown anyone my art or characters, and she was the best. She basically became obsessed with a platonic couple in the story and would send me fanart and playlists and headcanons and all that stuff. She made me a "Lucky and Colette" appreciation calendar one year for Christmas. Her love for them made me so happy and excited about my work that I've since become much more open about my creations.

Pronouns and boobs will save you

Sekhmet likes strong and bright women, preferably older, but not that much older. My friend is not very strong and is certainly too old for Sekhmet's tastes (she's almost 30 years older than Sekhmet).

infectedbloodcomics 2015-09-16 08:02:17 UTC #30

That's awesome! Are you gonna reveal that to her, at some point?

infectedbloodcomics 2015-09-16 08:03:25 UTC #31

It's hard to believe, given the success of your comic...

AnnaLandin 2015-09-16 08:07:49 UTC #32

My readers have a habit of being really enamored of characters who are minor. The hapless bandits, for example, or Lady Watanabe - who is not going to turn up again until, like, 200 pages from now. o.O I guess it's a good thing they like the main cast too, but still.
