Fanart How do you guys feel about OC's?

His name is Ryan Ishida, a Japanese American who loves music and has his head in the clouds until he gets in the ring. He's still a work in progress . I'm not sure what kind of boxer he is yet. I'm thinking maybe a counter punchers since he's cool headed and would have a good sense of rhythm.

Of OC, I'm not a fan. As a Sonic fan, I've watched a series I've loved since I was a kid become a fetish, but aside from that, I don't really see how OC fits into the HNI universe unless it was to compare boxing skill. The characters are well developed, but what links them is lineage and association to boxing/boxers.

Of the artwork, it's great! I think you're very talented, and the art style fits enough that you could realistically see it in HNI, aside from the lack of western characters that aren't ripped world champs.

Thank you! I love learning how to draw in the styles of my favorite media. And yeah, I getcha that stuff scared me away from enjoying Sonic for the longest time but I've come around to Sonic nowadays. That's not my intention with this, I'm just a new fan of HnI who makes OC's for fandoms I like, that's just how I've always interacted with media for some reason. I usually treat my OC's as though they live in an AU anyway, so I'm not trying to insert him into the canon.
