Self-insert characters, self portraits and representative characters/logos etc

[Leyelle]

Since my comic "mental soup" is literally a kind of oddball surrealist diary, the MC is literally a self insert, and this is her:

I'm also thinking about making this my new IG logo

[YoSunBro]

This is a character I literally made as an avatar for discord but I've been seriously thinking about using him in a story.

Been awhile since I self inserted...

Here he is. Eman Cruz.

(This scene is based on a true story happened circa 2002. Names of real people changed. )

Next self insert is definitely gonna be a villain (or villainess)

[jwabeasley]

Here's hoping you've mellowed a bit since then!

[Mohini9000]

Here’s a self-insert: Haru, our timid tomboy!

Since she’s based off of me, she would probably be the most three-dimensional character in Haru and Tsukasa.

Lol more than "a bit". Because if I didn't, I'd already be 6 feet under (most likely by my own hand) and this post won't even exist

Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days is all about the self-insertion. That’s me playing pool.

I also make a brief appearance in Defining Daecon. I’m in the audience in this scene, toward the top left. Most of the characters in this scene are cameos from others’ stories:

I have been considering doing Stan Lee like cameos ever since I began The Cilaverse

And then there’s this fanfiction

Should I release it or not? 🤣

The little cowlick on your head is so cute. It makes me think of a bird feather

This character is partly based on me and is the mascot of the Magical Renegades project site. She also appears a few times in the webtoon as a fourth wall-breaking joke character, first as a tour guide in episode 27 then again as a game show host at the start of episode 41.

The site has a series of short stories that are adapted from my experiences with making the site, including the challenges of trying to learn CSS and HTML 5, and when there were technical issues.

As a tour guide:

As the Magical Renegades project site mascot:

oh, do you actually have purple hair irl (dyed of course, but that would be so cool)

Today is the one year anniversary of my prize winning short story so I drew the MC

I honestly always imagined her looking a lot like 14-15 year old me so here we have it
