this is a genuine question btw if there are yumes out there who have a good self insert or just anyone with one really tell me your secrets please

i dont know what the source for your f/o is, but for my self insert, i looked for things that the league of villains were missing/lacking and then continued from there if that makes sense .. i also feel like making a moodboard can help a lot with designs. of course if ur f/o's source allows it, you can always just. make your self insert yourself or a romanticized version of yourself ^_^

oh that seems like a good idea! sorry my original post wasnt very detailed, what i struggle with is translating my own appearence irl into a reference/self insert that i can show to artists... picrews aren't very helpful because i just don't feel they get all the little details right but what am i supposed to do send pictures of myself to get a ref made? it feels awkward... >___>

Maybe u can ref certain traits and/or characters that share similar appearances as u? Y'know Frankenstein it!

oh that is a good idea!!! u are a genius... thank u:3
