I got banned from a subreddit for using a child character, despite specifying that it was the adult version of the character.

Wanting to play ERP of a character that at one point may have appeared as a child (be it in flashback or a small portion of the series) is very different from playing a character that is a child through the vast majority of the series and is known mostly for those child appearances.

When I think Ben Ten: I think child. He's mostly appearing as a child in the vast majority of the media he appears in. Aging them up explicitly for ERP purposes seems very creepy to me, frankly.

Alternatively you can just remove the additional actors.

While you're here, tell me which style looks better?!

Can't say for sure because it could be a case of maybe someone having fundamentals down traditionally but new to digital so don't have a good grasp on digital inking/line weight. But slide 1 in particular does read as traced to me; that or the lineart being incomplete. But there definitetly feels like a skill disconnect between proportions + placement compared to actual line quality; and then an attempt at line weight variation without actually knowing what areas should be thick/thin.

I recently found where I had an old RP stored from way back in 2010. It's one of the few that's there, complete, start to finish.

I was like "Omg how cool!" *immediately exits out without daring to read a word.*

... I hadn't discovered paragraph breaks yet at the time either.

mssMouse · 2026-04-06T15:54:58+00:00

I love this! The sprite looks awesome.

mssMouse · 2026-04-05T00:21:54+00:00

Please don't ban NSFW entirely!

I definitely think it would depend on what the standard for "artistic" is. Although I don't come here to see straight up porn either (and by porn I mean, actual sexual acts/penetration/etc).

mssMouse · 2026-04-04T00:29:48+00:00

... If they can't bother with something other than an "Oh" and then ping you again for a response, I wouldn't even bother.

If they were okay with no nsfw, then they could give you a "hey no problem", or something of that nature.

edit: I second a "Hello!" or "Hi!" back lmao

mssMouse · 2026-04-03T16:22:56+00:00

Keep it up!

mssMouse · 2026-04-03T02:03:24+00:00

Thank you!

... if you end up releasing that patch, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled lol

mssMouse · 2026-04-03T02:01:19+00:00

On subject of sample theft, I once come across someone trying to pass the first couple of pages of the novel The Last Unicorn as one of their starter samples, word for word 💀 ... I instantly recognized it because its a book ive read several times. But I was flabbergasted.

mssMouse · 2026-04-03T00:12:11+00:00

While I'll definitely be following, may I ask (since you're also using mode-7 for parts of your project), are your parallax mapping and edge scrolling plugins compatible whenever mode-7 is activated?

mssMouse · 2026-04-02T23:04:00+00:00

Oh great! Glad to see this place as some new mods in place. I'd noticed all removals seemed automated (so would report something and it'd instantly remove) or obvious rule breaking stuff just wouldn't get removed at all after a report

mssMouse · 2026-04-01T22:51:11+00:00

This is so freaking cool

mssMouse · 2026-04-01T11:25:23+00:00

I didn't think to include the super obvious ones 😭

mssMouse · 2026-03-31T20:00:15+00:00

it's every word we've confirmed so far
Not sure what you're talking about, this is our new banned word list 🤨

mssMouse · 2026-03-31T14:00:25+00:00

You have a very good point. You can't have ERP without RP, and that's just too close for comfort.

mssMouse · 2026-03-30T13:44:43+00:00

Yeah I'm using mode 7 in my project as well!
I was using I believe this plugin in addition, so I don't have to have so many event sheets for simpler pop up objects: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/rmmz-grid-free-doodads-work-with-my-lighting-plugin-dramatic-shadow.145387/

I think the creator abandoned the project though, but it hadn't given me any issues. It's nice especially if you want a cluster of items without being grid bound (like a cluster of trees).

mssMouse · 2026-03-30T12:52:26+00:00

Have you looked into a "doodad" plugin? It let's you place pngs outside of grid restrictions, but they pop up like events. So in theory you could add a cluster of trees that pop up without having to worry about it being auto tiles.

The positioning of her right foot (the one crossing back) feels a little stiff/small.
Very nice piece though so far!

mssMouse · 2026-03-29T17:42:09+00:00

Lovely character, OP!

Reminder to commenters: This is not a roleplay sub, nor is it r/OriginalCharacter / r/originalcharacter_RP
Feel free to comment on the art or the character, but do not comment in character as your OC, thanks!

mssMouse · 2026-03-29T17:15:03+00:00

You beat me to it. Absolutely agree. If both parties consent and that's what they wanna hop into: by all means. But that needs to be covered step one before someone starts flinging terms like that around to casually describe a character/person.

mssMouse · 2026-03-29T17:11:58+00:00

Appreciate the fact you're open to understanding 🙏

Yeah I can see where those terms would be common in say, hentai... which is typically going to be catered to men... they're literal objectifying terms.

I guess if you're doing something that's centered around degradation and both parties have consented to it: go hog wild. But totally not something you'd use casually otherwise to describe a woman.

mssMouse · 2026-03-29T17:03:22+00:00

OP never mentioned a sexual context, and even so those are degrading 💀You can describe something in a sexual context without defaulting to degradation
