Hey I've been wanting to make this thread for a while but now is as good a time as any.

Whether you prefer drawn or live FCs, do you stick to a pattern or just use whatever works? How do you go about finding them? Do you prefer to use them at all? Ever reused a FC?

In particular I've always had issues finding "live action" FCs that aren't super recognizable movie stars so I tend to stay away from RPs that use them. I would love some pointers from people that DO regularly use live FCs.

1) Depends on RP and concept e.g. not using an anime FC in something that is clearly not anime.
2) Google, Pinterest, Pixiv, etc. Again it depends on the RP and concept as to where I look.
3) Yes, I prefer to use them on top of written appearances (for the lesser known things like scars or piercings).
4) Yes.

As for IRL FC pointers, if you have a problem with choosing an actor/actress as your character's FC, just google haircuts. Female character? Female haircuts. Want something more specific like, say, an Asian female for your FC? Asian female haircut. Be as specific as you want. You can also google, like "male police officer" or something along those lines for FCs.
