Narration is best for reaching sentience, visualization is more or less a novelty and doesn't really help a tulpa to grow on its own, only perfects their form

You can do both at the same time of course

You can visualize them to have something to focus on while narrating, but I don't really think stressing over how vivid/realistic it looks pays off

Or at least it's nowhere near as important as actually narrating
Right cause like I feel like having a relatively well fleshed out form would help by making it feel like I'm not talking to myself, which, ae far as I'm aware you wanna think of it as if you're actually talking to your tulpa

But I'm not aiming for like complete imposition here, I just wanna feel like he's there
A form is useful for acting as a symbolic "point" to direct narration towards. You do not need to worry about visualizing it as well as possible right now, as long as you can see it that's enough.
"for a second i thought you created a replica of the world in your head and your tulpas were fighting over a piece of land"
This sounds so fucking cool I want that so badly(edited)
yeah, but if that's the case, then maybe instead of just shutting it down, they'd probably be better off using their imagination to get it back?
I don't know
welp. i fucked up making a tulpa, forgot about him completely when i had to travel around for a while.
should I try making a new one or redo the same guy? Its not wrong to redo, is it?(edited)
Depends on what point of development is considered sentience. I was getting pressure responses to some questions but fucked up before it could go further than that.
May I ask how long it was? Occasionally learning this became a lot for me to deal with, and I had to take a break from her for a few days. We never really abandon each other though, and we've always been able to pick things back up eventually.
Oh shit, just got an emotional answer from my tulpa

I was meditating in my wonder, walking with her across the beach, when suddenly my heart just started pounding really fucking fast and i saw a light just in front of me
