I would do this too -- it's an in-person tabletop game? Why would that even piss off an artist IF they knew? Nobody's making money off of that. It's not like you're printing t-shirts and pocketing the revenue.

So that means I don't get why you as an artist would be pissed off, either, since you'd never know.

Yeah, I'm an artist too and I honestly don't understand why someone would be pissed about that. I'd be insanely flattered! It's not like they're trying to use the art to make money or claiming the art is theirs, they're just saying "this is what I imagine my tabletop character looks like."

To which I say, go forth and have fun!

original characters are often something with quite personal aspects, doubly more so when you actually roleplay them. so for people to steal something that you created with personal meaning to you, to then twist it into something for their own fantasies, feels bad.
there is a reason that what happens to a character if you leave a game without writing them out is a touchy topic. some people don't care, but to a lot of people having a stranger puppeteer their oc is unacceptable.

[(Anonymous)]

They're just using their likeness though, not the whole character?

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. Right now I'm using a face claim from a video game for one of my characters because that was the closest thing I could find to how they look in my head. I'm not roleplaying that video game character, I'm just using them as a physical representation of my own character so the rest of my group knows what they're supposed to look like.

[(Anonymous)]

sure, but the looks are still part of the character, part of what makes them them, no?

[(Anonymous)]

I guess, but I find that so petty. People use official art of characters as face claims all the time. There's already such a cringe factor when it comes to OCs because people take it to meme levels of embarrassment, this surely doesn't help.

[(Anonymous)]

Ehhhh. Unless your character is very unique-looking, chances are there are already some other existing characters out there that look a lot like them.
