An idea I have had for a while, but felt too uncomfortable to do, let alone to share it afterwards. This is in due part for the text in it. Mostly, though, it is because of the "unauthorized" fan-art of OCs. Doing it of popular characters from common sources is one thing, but what about lesser-known characters? The original characters made and owned by one person. Sometimes yes, as I have seen it done before. However, it wouldn't be like me to not worry. Yuck. Nonetheless, I have a small collection in here. A couple popular ones hiding behind the text; Heavy from 'Team Fortress' and Bob from the original "Reboot". A few in-betweens, internet popular characters: Zookie by ZookieDragon and Snowball from "Bunnykill"(Mottis at Newgrounds). However, I was not about to only focus on what is already popular and well-known/ish. A "little guy watching out for the little guy" type of thing. Of course, they are not as easy to find, since how things are sorted. So, I looked through my (DeviantArt) watchers, comments and favorites. From top to bottom, there is Agnes by Golkeyx, Autumn by GayCigaretteLighter, Jake by JakeMcCormick, and Eric by ericremotesteam.

You may also notice there is a wide variety of characters, as my team isn't limited to just a bunch of fighting. They possess a wider variety of skills and have sets of tools other than weapons.

Then there is that last bit of text.

Bit of a dream, I suppose. I believe it would be great to collaborate some stories with my and other's character(s). Using ones from popular media is one thing, it's called "fanfics", but what about "one-owner", "non-commercial" sort-of properties? (I don't know how to phrase it.) The kind with artists that I can contact directly, so we could work together. Then both of our characters are treated and use properly.

What is next for me? Two things: I want to make some visual stories (like as in comics or short story version of a graphic novel). Those will take some research before making them, as out of all my art, that is the one thing I want to be "popular". Need to figure out what would be visually attractive and how to write stories that make people want to come back, see what is next, what will happen.

I also made up my mind: I 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 make a video game and your characters are 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥. It isn't that one in my gallery, though. (Do plan on finishing that someday) It will be more of an action-adventure game and not car racing. There will be a variety of modes, allowing for a wider range of different characters.
