Here is the pic

It was pretty unanimous that my watchers didnt like this style and for awhile I didnt really get way. But after sleeping on it, I finally got why. The main idea that people were putting across in the feed back was how they liked my style where everyone was the same proportion. My dad says thats kinda pleasantly optimistic that I draw everyone the same and I finally realise that. It also means that if I changed one character, I would have to change them all as some people pointed out. If I draw myself more life like by adding weight, I would have to take other characters based on people, make them shorter, taller or flat chested (Seriously one of the complaints I get from some girls I draw is that I drew them with actual boobs, I cant win
So no, I will not be changing Nay or any of my characters anytime soon, maybe in the future I may give it another go but for now he will stay the same.
See you guys tomorrow for TXD starting again
Till then
Nay







I agree with AJ. I like it.
Change is good. I feel like new Nay (since you say is more like you) is more unique than just a regular template. It makes him more like yourself, a mirror... compared to just a static character template that looks like the rest. I was excited thinking for the moment that maybe you had found a new light and a new thing to experiment with; body types. That is why I am actually redoing my old ones because They were too generic; not unique enough. Not that I am saying your work is generic/ not unique but it does allow for your characters to be more unique and diverse. That is why I felt this is something that could help you in the long run.
And you shouldn't go by the comments; if you truly feel you want to do this or try it out, go for it. Don't just push it off because somebody doesn't like it. If they are a true admirer and fan, they shouldn't care and understand that this could open up a new doorway for your style and work.
I can understand what you dad says, however he should look at how your work can grow and advance from this; how your style can evolve and your characters along with it.
Looking back at my own work now, I feel kind of unpleased that I made everyone the same. I feel there is no uniqueness, that my characters DO have different body types, some are curvy, some have muscles, some are skinny... and I feel all that difference makes a character unique. That is just me though. I enjoy developing my characters, I enjoy trying to learn to draw their body types. It is a challenge for me, and I feel in the long run it is worth it.
Then again, some people like keeping things the same. I know for me, I am never consistent, and can't really ever keep things the same for long because I get bored (a curse of being a designer LOL).
What you could do is perhaps make a comic trying out these body types, see the results. Or make a character sheet, because I wouldn't let this incredible idea and opportunity just leave/ go.
Sorry for such a long response. It is just a thought out comment on how I feel, I know because it was often the same thing on my mind as well. I just don't want to see this go down the drain when it truly is something that can help you evolve and grow as an artist.
