I don't know about you, but I personally hate it when people tend to pick out the slightest similarities between your original characters and some other character from a series. I mean, I spend hours days and weeks trying to make something unique and fitting for my comics, and nothing gets me down more than knowing all that time was wasted because somehow black, long hair and asian meant I copied it form the two hundred billion other characters out there who already has black long hair.
I dont know...does that happen to you? :/
I'm always critical of my own work so when someone says it looks like something that already exists, I try to change it. Only in the end, it looks like something else. Nothing is truly original anymore >__>...
