Hello everyone!
So I've been thinking a lot about this, yet not exactly sure how to ask the question. I was wondering, how does one design an attractive, inspiring (fandom inspiring??) character that causes people to make fan art, fiction, and even OC-s. I'm sure it's more than just the outlook but I'm mainly interested in it in a visual standpoint (Although feel free to share your thoughts on any fields!). From almost anatomically correct through stylized to overly simplified, I wonder what makes this phenomenon to occur in different extends. Hope I'm explaining it correctly. There should be a word for this, or is there one I'm not aware of?
