I've been having trouble making Dancestors and or Ancestors for my trolls even though I've had them for a really long time. Do you have any advice? What did you do (if you did) to help make them? Also how closely do they need to resembled my original troll? (Not including horns, blood color, last name etc)

 This is one of my favorite parts! :D Ancestors are simple, because they don’t need to be fleshed out as a character as much as their descendants. What does your character want to do with themselves? Do they have dreams of being a Ruffiannihilator? Or a Legislacerator? Maybe their ancestor is out doing those things! The more your character knows about their ancestor should reflect what kind of things the ancestor did. Did they keep a journal that your character found? It would make more sense if the descendant knew more about an ancestor who wrote about themselves than one who didn’t, right?

 Ancestors often look like their descendants, with subtle or slight differences. (The length of their hair, their body type) Or course this isn’t a RULE, but it often makes designs easier. If your troll has a theme, their ancestor should follow that theme.

 Dancestors are a little harder and a little more fun. Your dancestor should also follow your original troll’s theme, while being a completely different character. Different hobbies, skills, and a different personality! Dancestors can be very similar, or they can be polar opposites. (Nepeta and Meulin are very similar in personality, whereas Meenah and Feferi aren’t very similar at all!) 

 Some people say that dancestors are supposed to have very stereotypical, or joke-like personalities but I personally don’t like that idea. I mean they COULD, if you wanted them to, but it tends to make their characters a little bit more dull and uninteresting. (If you’ve seen one nerd girl, you’ve seen them all.) So why do that, when you can make their characters a lot more interesting!

 A troll is NOT the same person as their post or pre-scratch self, and though they may be similar in personality, they may not be! Just remember not to make three (or four!) versions of the exact same person, and keep them different! Think of them as brothers and sisters rather than clones.

 I hope I helped! If there’s anything I missed, feel free to message me again (: Good luck!

I love Traci Hines so much, I've been a fan of hers for years now. And have had the chance to make her lovely acquaintance last year. I was really afraid, because I was unsure of how she was going to be IRL. She was just as sweet and awesome as she is in her video's and online. Traci Hines is the real deal, and she rocks! Keep at It Traci!

With that being said, I got the chance to see her perform, and she is just as passionate here as she is IRL! This is such a moving Disney song, and Traci definitely captures it!

Do you have any advice for newbies on Homestuck sprites?[Resources, tips, methods]

Hi there! The first thing I’d recommend, is to practice drawing your character elsewhere first! Get used to the way their hair falls, or how their eyes are shaped. A really nice sprite will show some distinction of the characters features, as well as their personalities! (Are they scowling? Grinning? Apathetic?) Picking a good color scheme (or lackthereof!) will tell people a lot about your troll. A character with a more colorful outfit might be a lot more cheerful or freespirited than one who wears duller colors, or solely black and gray. Remember that highbloods can wear more colors than lowbloods! Using another sprite as a base for proportioning isn’t unheard of or a bad idea, as long as you edit well, and turn it into YOUR design, and don’t just like…throw some pigtails on Sollux and call it a new character. Try to redesign as MUCH as you can! DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES. And don’t forget that no one’s first sprite is a good one. Just to prove my point, here’s mine:

 Pretty snazzy, right? And here’s what she looks like now:

 So don’t get too discouraged if you’re not happy with the sprite, or the design right away! There’s always plenty of room for improvement!

 If you have any specific questions about sprites that I didn’t answer, don’t be afraid to ask again! I hope I helped!

So i was thinking of making a fantroll & Talksprite based on the Scrin race in Command and conquer 3. However, I'm crap at fantrolls. Could you guys help me out?

 Hi there! I’m gonna be honest, I’ve never heard of them before! I’ve done some research though, and I’ll try my best to help! This is going under a read more, since it’s pretty long!

 I think that the MOST important thing you can do here, is to theme the character around the idea of this alien race, instead of basing them on it. (Make sure that you build off of other people’s ideas, instead of copying them!) It will also make your character more original and interesting!

 I’ve read that the Scrin are violent and destructive, Perhaps the easiest way to start is by deciding that your fantroll is a highblood, because they’re known for being a lot more violent by nature. (Of course, there are exceptions to every rule though!)

 The Scrin seem to have a lot of advanced technology. What if your troll liked to fuck around with machinery? They could also have a bit of a genocide complex, or a constant need to conquer? To resemble how the Scrin invaded Earth.  Since the Scrin are insectoid in appearance, you may want to have your troll loosely bug associated. This also opens up a lot of interesting options for a strifekind! (I thought up a gas-mask lookin’ thing, with powerful metal pinchers that crush things when the biteguard is clamped down on. I think it sounds cool! But obviously that’s just an idea) Since Command And Conquer is a videogame, maybe your character likes to play games? Maybe they’re really proud of that fact, maybe they keep it a secret, to seem a bit more intimidating and no-nonsense. What if they like to design videogames?  If your troll plays SGRUB, Maybe they’re a Space player, or a Light player? (Heir of Light might be cool, since the Scrin appear to glow!)

 I’d COMPLETELY recommend against using the Scrin symbol as your fantroll’s symbol. (It might be copyrighted! And even if it isn’t, no one likes having their work stolen!) But you could do some research and see if the Scrin were based around anything else, and derive your symbol from that!  So I hope I helped a bit! It was fun to learn about new things and brainstorm so I’d like to thank you for that (: Please keep in mind that these are all suggestions, and what you decide to do is up to you! Feel free to message me if you ever want more advice.

I d0on't need much help I just wanted to say your blog is a good blog thanks for offering people help and advice instead of shaming them. I see too many blogs dedicated to shaming fan characters and I feel a blog like this is long overdue.

Thank you so much!!! Your support really means a lot. Stay wonderful!!!
