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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Re: GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

I want to play a character from a visual novel, but the novel is very text heavy, has very few images of character art compared to modern visual novels and mostly reserves expressive art for the main character as a result of being a psychological horror VN. So although the character I want to play is important to the plot, I've only got four icons for her if I use official art.

Now, the normal work-around for this is to use fanart. The problem is that the fandom for this is pretty small, probably as a result of the game being twenty-one years old, and most art is of the main character and/or his love interests, so using fanart just brings the total up to eight, and they're not a wide range of expressions, either.

So I'm sort of stuck on what to do. I don't want to use crappy icons, a small number of them or worse, have both of those problems at the same time. Is it acceptable in DWRP to use a PB under these circumstances? Should I put a little disclaimer up on my character's profile to make it clear she's from a VN, I'm just using a PB due to lack of other options? Is there a way to find a manga character with similar features and use icons of them, or is going for a live-action PB a better idea?

absolutely i would use a pb that you think looks enough like the character. i think anyone in this situation who wants real or nice icons while playing should feel comfortable doing that.

You could post links to pictures of her in the pb suggestion thread and see if anyone can help you locate a similar manga pb or such?
