User blog comment:WhiteCherry/What unpopular opinions do you have about Naruto ocs?/@comment-25156300-20191122225420

OCs aren't just about a pretty picture. I see too many people who flat out ignore well written characters if they don't have a good picture. But a picture isn't an OC. It's just a picture. They don't truly become a character until you give them some life to flesh them out.

Also, things like saying "cool character" or giving a like aren't very useful (sites like dA). A character can't get better without actual feedback that describes the good and the bad. Unless it's just a picture, most people won't take the time to fully read about the character to give that feedback.
