You're welcome! You did an AWSOME work, really. This is how my friends and me like gijinkas. You can tell who they are really easly, but they don't look exactly like one of that species.... Yeah. Cool.

Thanks! ^^ And yeah, I've done a few of these pages. My rule is that the character has to be like, at least 95% human looking. So no tails or cat ears or anything. I think that makes it too easy.  And plus, I just prefer gijinkas this way myself, as it doesn't border on any "furry" stuff. XD

WoW I sometimes put "animal" stuff in them, because I think that then the Gijinka is more unique. One thing, what's an OC?

OC stands for Original Character. It means that it's a character that that artist or writer has created and owns.  Unless it's a fan character, then it's technically an OC, but they don't have full ownership of it.

Can gijinkas be OC?
Turtle-Arts's avatar
Yes. Gijinka does not mean it has to be pokemon or digimon or any show or whatever. Gijinka just means a humanized version of something that was initially not human. Like, you can make a gijinka of anything really. I've even seen people make them based on cell phones and computers. XD  But if you make a gijinka based on something copyrighted, like pokemon, then it is technically a "fan character." It's still an OC, but as you don't own the rights to pokemon characters, the OC falls in a weird grey area.

Cool, and I know about what Gijinka means. I like doing plant gijinkas, or FOOD gijinkas! Thanks.
Why to buy points? (Just a simple  question)

Buy points? Like, you mean why buy DA points? I dunno, I don't really buy points, and I don't take them for commissions. The only thing they're really relevant to me for is renewing my subscription.
