I found it is either that, an excuse to be really passive, or it's just an excuse for the character to be a cock-sleeve, excuse my language, for the other character. There's no substance.

Perhaps worth noting that I have had good experiences with people that wrote sub characters (or, rather, I have had one) but that was an expert writer. Shy, depressed characters are the same. It needs to be done well, or not at all.

@Odin

Wait, for real!? Assen represent! And also Amerfoort, but that's where my apartment is, doesn't quite feel as homey as Assen :')

Cocksleeve made me giggle. But it's quite often very true.

And same, a friend of mine can write the shy, easily intimidated sort in an amazing way (one of her characters actually gets into a lot of odd situations, simply because he's very bad at saying no and walking away).

"My character is a loner so he's going to go out of his way every. single. time. to avoid talking to people - oh did I also tell you guys he's a closet-nice-guy that actually really really wants to befriend people but he's just so shy, effectively giving me a justification for making no meaningful impact on the story by constantly removing him from any conversation that isn't about a) my character b) his depression c) his loneliness d) his desire to make friends or e) all of the above. It also gives me a great great reason to avoid writing and coming up with new ideas! After all he's so shy, people have to come to my character with their ideas so I don't have to do any creative thinking!"

Yeah, kudo's to the people who can write shy or anti-social characters with flair, keeping it interesting to read even if he's not actively partaking. But god damn. Shy, friendless, lonely, depressed characters in group RP's are the equivalent of sub characters in the 1x1 section - they're wet paper husks of a character that have no personality and a single lazy gimmick.

@Odin

Where have you been all my life.

And yeah, the sub-thing in 1x1 is also painfully prevalent. It's quite often an excuse for the writer being really passive. Not always, but it has become something I'm a little bit cautious about.

post 3000

i just wanted to get 3000

but also i feel a little miffed when characters just kind of...dont interact with each other, like isn't that the point

@Mercenary Lord

Bonus points if someone's character keeps leaving the group. Sure, there's undoubtedly times/situations in which it works, but my God are those rare.

Piddle's 1x1 ideas

Lorewise I'm thinking about mostly sticking to the history of the places and maybe adding a little bit of our own here and there. I also want the haunting to increase very gradually, so that it's more suspense at first that outright horror, though that will also have it's place later on.
If you're up for it, feel free to pm me.

Piddle's art (also does commissions)

My list of prices can be found on through the link in the first post. I'll make an image version of it soon, so that you won't need to be linked to DeviantArt, but for now everything can be found there. In my gallery there is also a commission that was a 'medium' size and that's probably a good comparison with my higher res pieces in terms of what the difference would be if I go for smaller and a little less detail.

I go by canvas-size instead of amount of characters, but it boils down to; the more you want in a drawing (for example; full body instead of a portrait, a background instead of a simple gradient) the larger the canvas will probably need to be for it to look good, which in turn means I spend more time on it and charge more for it.
Anything with the level of detail that the pieces I've shown here would be between 30 and 40 dollars.

Yeah, Neil is there already

@Piddle i meant to anyone else reading it. everyone is always looking for a reason to be offended nowadays.

@Infamous Empath

Can't help but feel that depends a lot on what parts of the internet you frequent, if I'm honest; I hear many people say it, but so far I've yet to encounter many people that are that easily offended.

Neither D'ren nor the Tommy-rip-off answers to anyone so...good luck with that.

Yeah no, Tommy Shelby is the first canon character I've ever watched on screen that I can very much relate to, wish I was like in real life, but would NEVER touch his character, or any of the other most well-developed, multi-faceted characters in the history or television, certainly Netflix.

The RP would be like a small rival gang just outside of Birmingham that cannot quite compete with the Shelbys, Solomons, or wops (get offended, i dont care XD)

@Infamous Empath

Good luck to you more like; wether they get along with the other leader-type drug-smugglers or not certainly ain't Neil's problem. The less everyone can get along and function as a team, the higher his chances of doing what he wants to.

Yeah, the characters simply are too well-written; I think I'd fuck up every single one of them :')

Ah that sounds cool.
(the fuck should I be offended about? sorry gonna have to dissapoint you there)
