DO NOT USE AI GENERATED "ART." Commission a real artist.
"But I don't have money"
Then draw it.
"But I can't draw"
Then learn.
"I don't want to take the time to learn/I want it now"
THEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT. Or you can at least settle with a poor-looking result if you draw it now. Hell, at least use some character creator/dress-up game like those picrew things or those Gacha games — you know, SUPPORTING ACTUAL ARTIST'S WORK!
You aren't entitled to see all the pretty looking images when you want, how you want, and for free.
Get it for free, and you either don't get it as good as you want or as fast as you want — you either settle with the fact your own drawing won't look how you want it, or take the time to learn. (unless you're lucky enough to find someone doing commissions for free. But that's still better than AI.)
Get it fast, and it either won't be good, or won't be free.
Get it good, and it either won't be quick, or won't be free.
This post should also apply to other forms of media (written works, music). But as someone who draws, this is the most relevant to me.
Okay. Okay update time on this. Some things. Heads up this is just kind of me rambling/noting down my current thoughts about what I want to do
(Rambles below the thingy)
I've been thinking, and yeah, I really want to do something with that story. That world/story I'm talking about in the og post is.... something! It's the backstory of a silly self-insert-oc of mine, and is not only extremely self-indulgent, but there's probably more missing and contradictory details than there is ACTUAL plot😬
The thing is, however, I hold that batch of characters very dear to me as I've had some of them since, like... late 2021, I'd say? And some of the main story concepts have also been around that long and longer. Because of this, I'm not only DESPERATE to share these guys with the world, but... also too attached to them and their stories to change around the canon a bunch.
What I plan on doing at some point is having two versions of the story that are essentially the same as fandoms making "AU"s. I'll have the revised version with a proper story that I can make into some sort of webcomic or whatever I want, and I'll keep the OG, inconsistent, poorly-written self-insert version as my own personal "AU" that I can have to just be silly with.
My god. I have this one world/story I wanna make a webcomic about so much but the timeline is SO BAD like it's not even funny. Way too many missing details in the worldbuilding and plot holes and contradictory stuff... agrrhgg
This is why I started making flow charts for my plots. It helps me realize everything I messed up. Me consulting my flowchart to make sure my story is coherent
Resides in peoples' minds; in the "mental space"

★ Character I designed like a couple weeks ago, just messing around, I ended up having a lot of fun with this guy! And I find him very draw-able
^ Some doodles I did, mainly trying to brainstorm for story ideas, the second doodle is the plot/premise I'm building off of right now; He lives in a "mental space" of sorts, but is unable to access his own mind, and so he attempts to find and convince other people to let him live in theirs.
That's all I have to give for now! Have a swell day

Character named Witch is NOT!!!!!!! my character by the way!!! Gotta find the tumblr of my friend who owns it and I'll edit the post when I nab it :]
Edit: Character owner is @enneatone-ring!
Also apologies if the Tagalog is inaccurate, I poked around for ~20 minutes to ensure validity but I cannot be 100% sure it is
Sorry for the rants lately. I don't wanna be too serious. Here's some Jared and his buddy
