Artist Self-Insert

Should an image with an artist self-insert be tagged original or real life? I could see arguments either way, but I'd personally think it should be original.

I agree real life is meant for public figures

I would say neither, unless the artist self-insert is taking place in an original or real life image. Otherwise, just tag the copyright the artist is inserting themselves into as per normal.

I second BrokenEagle98's approach.

We usually tag solo images of an artist insert as original. As such, I think that we should be tagging such images as original. They're essentially OCs. As with any other original character interacting with a character or theme from a copyright, we tag the image both original and the relevant copyright.

I don't think an OC shaking hands with Pikachu or something should remove Original from the image.
