rpanons | The kid just rages for a while

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

which do you prefer (either seeing or using): live action/real people pbs or anime/manga pbs/artist interpretation!fanart for novel characters?

Well drawn art of any style > live action PBs > PB taken from an animanga series (because I sometimes know who the character actually is and it distracts me) > poorly drawn doodles

someone I knew once used hand-drawn PBs that looked like a character from the Zelda CDI games and oh it was cringe inducing. good writer otherwise but I really had to ignore the icons.

art pbs. good fanart or obscure animanga.

artist interpretation fanart as long as it's not obviously from a wellknown anime/manga > obscure manga > non-model-face live action that is not from a very well-known film/movie/tv show > those 'headshot' original icons.

if there's no official adaptation or the character is very different in the adaptation i prefer fanart or obscure indie comics/manga edits

finding good live action PBs can be really hard for a bunch of reasons:

- you don't want to use an actor who's too prominent in fandom circles as the hot shit of the moment
- you don't want to use an actor who's either super famous as themselves or in an immediately recognizable role that will throw people off
- the character is from a different time period/setting so modern day garb just won't cut it
- you want EXPRESSIVE icons and not pouty model samefaces
- your character isn't pretty, white, and/or in their teens-thirties
