What is the reason for people to make OC's i have observed the oc community for half an year now because thats when i started drawing ocs and it is certain that ocs are a valuable part of drawing and literature artists here in deviant and in any other site in the web the reason is we get tired of the boundaries of retail characters no mater how much you try to change one retail character their story appearance and personality are bound to be the same no mater what you do that's why artists start drawing ocs they are basically what drawing is all about for me you get to create something from nothing and give it life in a way all that happens to that oc is your own choice the appearance the hairstyle the eyes the way she acts and the back story are all your creation thats something extremely hard no mater how good of a drawer you are even base and trace ocs are hard to make i if they are not re colored hairs on MS paint afcourse, My reasons to write this journal how ever is not to explain what oc is or what it means for a artist to have one basically putting you heart in making one but the current abuse of "this Oc's a mary sue" or comments like that i never had that problem

(my ocs are sue type but im lucky no one notices) any way back to the topic no matcher how hard you try your oc will all ways be overpowered according to some one else and thats actually normal for as far as im concerned all ocs are mary sue my reason we think about that we create a male female anime character with perfect body structure hair no physical problems and etc. thats goes as far as our imagination so you always make an oc perfect for yourself even if you make imperfect ocs that was the idea you based them on and that according to some dudes makes them mary sues too.One more thing before i stop annoying you Every single Anime retail character(form Naruto,Bleach,One peace,Dragon Ball,etc.)is a mary sue too think about that
and yah Sakura is also a sue but did you notice my avatar is actually sakura
