You know those anime screencaps of crowd shots where the mc is really obvious?

Let's post some crowds and see on a scale of Yu-gi-oh to Mob Psycho how much your MC stands out.

I think I know the MCs of people who regularly post, but I still want to try guessing!

Warning--Wrong guesses and unattended OCs may be added to the Yugi board

I think I started reading your comic, so I already know :sweat_smile: But she does blend in really well.
I’d contribute to the thread if I had any crowd shots. In my first comic, the mc would stand out pretty easily (mostly because of his silly hair) being the only alien in a normal human world. As for my current comic, it depends on the setting. If the mc were in a crowd in the main city, he would be trying to fit in. He does a fairly good job, but has a few too many specific details about his design for most background characters. In a crowded ballroom (since he’s royalty) he would be dressed up pretty fancy, but probably end up lurking in a corner, so who knows how easily he could be spotted 🤷

The MC (Daecon) for the series this scene is from is actually not in this scene, but the MC (Carmen) from my other series is! Also, most of the members of this crowd are OC's of other creators from right here on this forum!

Not sure if it's just because I'm heavily biased or I did something with his design to make him pop in a shot like this, but Zack sticks out so much to me :laughing:


On the topic of spotting the main character, I didn't even bother sketching the other people in this shot (they will be when I get to actually finishing this page, in like a year or so)

@ArtGremlin
Thank you for reading it!
Hair really is a protagonist give away.
Maybe you can post your current mc anyway and we can edit him into a crowd scene to see how much he stands out lol

@ThunderChicken
Oh man idk this one lol
I know who it isn't because I see these faces in other comics. Uh...

This guy???

@KevinReijnders
Designs that pop are really fun!

And imma just guess who is the most main out of the mains you've drawn since that's the thread haha
Out of the current two, the one on the right gives most mc energy.

I feel like it would be too much work to put this guy in a crowd :sweat_smile: I’d have to render it all in a similar manner, which would be too much work. Here he is anyway ^^

Running away from his problems

I think y'all did a good job of making your MCs blending in, because I can't tell from those crowd shots, haha.

I am in a similar boat where my MC is probably pretty obvious for anyone who's seen my other posts, but I have an appropriate crowd shot so why not:

That is not my MC, but you are correct because I also love that extra, haha.

Darn
My second guess was background green shirt girl

Or is it one of the front two?
I thought that would be too obvious lol

:anguished: whoa! That’s amazing. You sure got his colors right. Only things off are that he’s missing his tear shaped mark under his right eye, and he technically doesn’t have a left eyebrow :smile:
but wow I never knew I needed to see him in the style of yugioh before now

Teehee he looks so happy 🤭

:shook_01: My apologies
Scars and missing eyebrows do up the MC energy score

6/10 At least a guest dueler

ETA--I feel like I should add that this ranking is still on the Mob to Yugi scale. Whether higher or lower is good is in the eye of the beholder~

I couldn't find any crowd shots with my main character, so let's try with side characters instead, I'd say my main character stands out even less if she's in her normal clothes :smiley:

This one!

I'm pretty sure I have seen your mc before tho. I'm trying not to cheat by looking at post histories.

But I would have guessed

If I didn't have any hints. This one's begging to be an mc

I regrettably do not have a crowd scene for Blue Fedora, but...

I have one for the other series.

So I know is these two

But what is going on here lol
I'm in dire need of context

What kind of creature is this and how do I unlock his backstory?

LOL She's a mascot performer under the stage name Captain Katt. Her backstory...is, well... Part of the mystery lol.

Also, you're right on the money about the two leads.:smile:

Oh, as I mentioned, my MC is not there, just one of the more important side characters c: (actually, two, but one is behind the speech bubble hahah) but you guessed correctly! (with that second one).
But that first one is also a close call, because she's an important character in another story of mine :smiley: I like throwing characters from my other stories in the background hahah :smiley:

@igneriss
Aw nuts lol
I was like "yeah I totally remember seeing this oc before ggez"

I also like hiding my other ocs in the bg!

@pjthetoonaddict
It took me five minutes to figure out what animal Captain KATT is

8/10 Yugi's getting nervous

Ooo fun idea! Here are a couple for my current chapter:

Nope! That character is just a one-off, a face in a crowd. I've always liked his design though, and may use him later.

it's this guy:

That is Carmen, from Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days. Carmen also happens to be me (WNHCD is a true story):

This one!

Sitting all alone like a true protagonist

I really like how your oc stands out in the composition despite having pretty much the same look as all the bg charas

Unless this is a bg chara
In which case, to the Yugioh board!

@ThunderChicken
Shoot I recognize that oc
But can you blame me?

Look at that hair! 4 Yugis out of 10

you got it! :clap::clap::clap: I do try to use composition to guide readers in my crowd scenes. It doesn't always work, but I'm glad it did here!

bonus: this guy will become an important character, but he hasn't been properly introduced yet.

Yay I got another one!
Your mc is safe from the yugi board

I love bg easter eggs! I always assume artists that do detailed bgs like hiding them so I try to look for them.
I actually thought this person

might be someone bcuz the pose is cute. I do like how their line of sight points to the actually important chara

Oh yeah!
As soon as I drew her I was like "wait she could be a real character here"

Clearly she was born to duel

I don't have a crowd, but out of the midst of these folks could try to guess who the MC is:




@Leyelle
Ok so I'm pretty sure the right answer is this girl bcuz I think I've seen her before

But I'm picking this girl bcuz come on

Multicolored hair? Banana build?

9/10 Someone get this girl a deck

@2DLenzy
This one?

Pls be right I'm so bad at drawing animals

lol, I love this drawing of her you inserted into the scene, but actually the correct answer is this girl. Ironically, the character you chose was HER MC, because my FL is a comic artist

You were so close! That's my deuteragonist (best friend to MC, unless that counts as MC, idk).

The white bald chicken at the center is actually my MC, Friar.

@Leyelle
Ack wrong twice!
I need to stop guessing based on my lurking lol

Should have known the true MC. Moon tattoo? Hello?

@2DLenzy
Noooo
I almost guessed the bald one but something about that other chicken drew me in!

I don't know what possessed me to make the Yugi board my wrong guess punishment :cry_02:

0/10 Yugis, 10/10 Kyubeys

When that board gets filled up I’m saving a picture of it so I can admire it for years to come.

@ArtGremlin
Lol I should prob make some to make your mc more on model then. His was definitely the most rough since he was the first

@Leyelle
The Yugioh style is very good at making cute designs even cuter :sparkles:

I forgot how much I loved it. It's been years since I drew anything yugioh
