I got to agree on alot of what Knucklefangirl has put.

and your guide is nicely detailed beanie.

I can't over state how important story is.

I've seen alot of good artists on the likes of DA with amazing art and character designs....but the god damn story just spoils it for me.

Big shiny pics that people love purely for the looks but the story is more hollow than a recolour of sonic with something stupid like

"Anthrax was super secret project made by doctor robotinik before he made shadow and was put into cold storage as a failure then after all the event of shadow and GUN invading the arc, Anthrax was never found. Now 200 years in the furture anthrax seeks the chaos emeralds to become the ultimate life form."

Its very basic and under explained and the fact they had to use the character as another robotnik creation just further decreases the quality of the character.

Not to mention in the story the character has no motive unless he was purely built to destroy.

I could go on further buts just an example I've seen in bad writing on DA, Nice artwork poor story but because their fans are like" OMG YOU ARE LIKE SSSSSSOOOOOO GOOD AT MAKING CHARIES!" they ignore the bad story and continue making a fan base round the artwork.

The story is what builds your character and is what makes people love it more.
