I love ugly characters

Description

An ugly stamp for ugly characters! :dummy:

Literature is filled with beautiful characters who spend all their time complaining about their looks.

What about the ugly ones?

Being ugly is something we can relate to. Many of us don't like several aspects of our appearances. When a character struggles with her nose, her acne, her hair... We all know what it's like. And we cheer her on as she makes the journey to self-acceptance and fully realizes that her personality can outshine her aquiline nose or tiny eyes.

I ought to make my next protagonist more on the ugly side... :plotting:

Let's go give the ugly characters some love for a change! :love:

This is my first stamp! It was fun to make, and I found that Paint.NET (a free downloadable program) works pretty well for stamps. The stamp template is by ~Dametora.

I made this with a very special project in mind... You'll see it tomorrow... :mwahaha:
Edit: and here it is. [link]


Advice on technique is welcome!

Disclaimer: I am not trying to say that (1) ugly characters are the best type of character, (2) beautiful characters are bad, and (3) main characters must be ugly and self-conscious about it. They have potential when written well. That does not mean they should flood the bookstores like cheap vampire novels.

Disclaimer of disclaimer: No, not all vampire novels are cheap. :)

Most of my OCs are probably seen as ugly, but that’s just part of who they are and the way I draw them. They can’t help being a little bit odd looking!
