Oh gosh, thank you for finally bringing this up. I've seen so many people get discouraged about creating fanseries simply because they don't think their art is good enough, and I always try and encourage them to try their best. Plus, there's absolutely no shame in using dollmakers (I mean, they're there for a reason, no? Heck, I'm constantly using things like Kisekae and Dream Selfy to act as visual aids for my characters, because I just don't have enough time to create art for every single thing). I don't really understand why some people feel the need to call others out on using dollmakers, to me it just makes the accuser sound a bit cynical.

Art isn't what makes a series good, necessarily. It's all about the work and heart poured into a series that makes it great, be it through the characters, story, etc. I've seen many series with no art whatsoever that turned out absolutely fantastic, because I could tell the creator was having fun working on their series.

Sorry for the really long response, but this is something I've been meaning to get off my chest for a while. I saw the chance and my first instinct was to take it, haha.
