LostSanity Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hmm... looks like this forums RP sign-up is different from Whitetail Woods. So... um... I created most of my OCs using the Pony Creator on DeviantArt. Would simply posting the pony I created/the image be suitable for the descriptive features required for the sign-up sheets or no? I'd really appreciate any help with this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroBlaze Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Well, I'd say you need an actual description of the character, but I usually add in the image I made on the pony creator as a sort of supplement to the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 ^ Precisely. Having a visual aid does help with picturing physical descriptions, and you don't have to use too many words on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 The way I usually explain it is that images and links can break. At that point, the description field becomes useless to anyone looking at your app. Thus, it is advantageous to use a verbal description of your character. As said by others, images help, but you should use it as a crutch, rather than the main way to show what your character looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use images as you please, but posts and applications alike on this forum are littered with the remains of dead images and broken links. Text can't go away- that is the primary. Everything else is secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSanity Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well the only way to get a hang of this is experience right? I will begin transferring my OC's to here one at a time. I'll hopefully get the hang of it eventually after that. Wish me luck I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
