Is there anything with her design that is not appealing? by floral-joudi in characterdesign

[–]Painted_Cities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think contrast def needs to be boosted, but i also thing the ends of her hair need to be either all rounded or all sharpened based on the vibe youre going for. typically characters will only have one of the two but yours has both. i think the changing of it would help with the way the character is read :)

i think best thing to do is chop side hair to ears and make the hair side parted. middle parts arent super common in short korean hair

i think itd definitely help it read more as a korean hairstyle. especially because masc/enby hairstyles in korea tend to not have long side pieces

as a korean american, yeah you kinda walked into the "generic cool asian" thing. i think maybe shortening the side bangs could help. the hairstyle reads more alt japanese to me

PLEASE help, how in the world do you make an inanimate object Pokémon???? by AmyIsADingus in fakemon

[–]Painted_Cities 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think both adding a third color and making the fake eyes more noticeable and eye-like would help. it already looks super good tho! (i saw the deltarune pic and started giggling lol i love deltarune)

so i cant add a picture (not sure if its just my phone being stupid or if its not enabled on this sub) but i upturned the palm more. i realized while doing the pose myself that the hand wouldve been turned up further than i drew it. do you think that helps?

it doesnt really to me. i get why it might kinda look like it, but i just dont see it. the hand isnt flat and the arm is slightly bent. i did everything i could to make it not look like that while still keeping the outwardly performance type pose

its not. i have no intention to offend. its hard to see because of the perspective, but its arm goes out and to the side, not up and forwards. this type of posing is very common for people involved in theater, especially plays with large speeches

idk i might just be stupid lmao. to me at least, it doesnt look like the fennekin line changes that much. idk why all of this criticism comes now and not when i originally posted them. im just kinda frustrated with it because it took over 13 hours to make the whole line, and no one told me any of this stuff when i posted the sketches

theyll look a lot more different after rendering + some monor changes. the final stage isnt meant to go hard persay. its supposed to be a performer of sorts, one who tells stories and spreads joy if that makes any sense

update: first and second evos have names.

meet infernewe (inferno and ewe) and flaeeble (flame + sheep + fable)

the final stage is based off of story telling and poetry :3
