        Original Character, vs Original Content. I saw the former in use long before the later, and in reference to designs which were much more cookie-cutter in spec(ie, mmorpg characters, basically amounting to multiple-choice components and some sliders).

        I don’t believe for a second anyone, beyond maybe you, is downvoting on that criteria.

          Yep, “original character” is what I meant. 👍

            Like I said, maybe you. I didn’t see a value judgement in your comment, beyond the fact that you thought of it in a way I hadn’t.

            Still, so many of the "OC"s out there are spec-art, done on commission, that I don’t really see the label as claiming to be an artist, or the artist, who composed a given work. OP creditted the AI used(if not any “in the style of” prompts…), which is more than a lot of these kind of posts have provided in the past.
