@DiscussingFilm This is going to be a historic blunder. It’s such a bad idea. Like imagine Nike just allowing you to bootleg Jordan’s and put them in the Nike store.
Independent creators, stop calling your characters “OCs.” Big studios don’t label their characters that way—and for good reason. The language you use shapes how others see your work. If you treat your characters like side projects, your audience will too.
@FallenLantern92@bryanedwardhill My take: The skill range of artists has narrowed into a few ‘house styles’ that young talent leans on for commercial viability. This shift stems from a decline in formal arts education that once prioritized mastering fundamentals before developing personal style.
