Now, I'm not a FC creating expert of any sorts, but here are some tips that may be useful to some/a few things I like seeing on a FC:

1. Eye spacing. Not a very big gap between the eyes, obviously, but it really doesn't look all that good when they're too close.

2. Eyebrows. I didn't give my characters eyebrows last year, and I have since regretted that decision. There are plenty of good FCs/Characters with no eyebrows, but if your character has very light skin and dark hair (like my entries Varya and Pandora), it's better to give them some.

3. Shades of grey instead of white. Many characters seem to have at least a tiny bit of white in their outfits. However, if you're planning to use a lot of white, you could colour a few details light grey instead, such as the soles of the shoes.

4. Realistic height. Flipline body proportions are weird. Very tall characters have way too long necks, and very short characters have no necks. It's better not to make a maximum-tall or maximum-short character.

5. Polychromatic outfits. Pretty self-explanatory. A character with blue hair and all-blue clothes would not look interesting. If you want to focus on one colour, make sure to add more than a few black/white/grey details. Dichromatic outfits that consist of ONLY two colours are (in my opinion) dull as well. (ex. Peter and Jason from KCP17). Very, very colourful, rainbow-y outfits look ridiculous, though. There has to be some balance.

6. Properly dressed/decorated. You don't have to give your character glasses, a jacket, a belt,arm accessories, headwear and an extra back/neck accessory. In fact, you probably shouldn't do that. However, you shouldn't make them too plain (ex. t-shirt,trousers,shoes and maybe one accessory/a jacket) either.

7. Regular facial expressions. Smiling characters seem to appeal the most to people, and I think I'm going to go with the crowd. That doesn't mean that all non-smiling characters are bad, though. The facial expressions I'm talking about are the angry eye/tongue sticking out ones.

''8. (Pet peeve of mine) Pants/skirts with different colour than the shoes. I really, really dislike it when tha trousers are the same colour as the shoes. (For all I know, this could be just me XD)''

That's all I have for now.
