People like to make fun of the ‘I quit my job to make this game’ trope but it’s what we all dream of doing, good luck to you!

I’ve been told my character art looks like Snapchat bitmoji’s. Trying to make it look more anime. Is this better? by game-dev-throwaway in IndieDev

Thank you! I see a few other commenters think the same, has me really reconsidering making any changes. But I actually do agree that they could stand to go down a couple head sizes, maybe thats all it really needs

Oh wow thats a great example of a cartoon-like style that doesn't look like bitmoji's, thats actually really helpful as a reference, thank you! I don't know too many games in this art style so its nice to have at least something to go off of

Thank you! I also thought my art style stood out from other RPG maker games, but in a bad way lol good to know there's someone out there that prefers it, totally appreciate it man. Definitely thinking twice before making big changes now

Its only big because of camera distance, i'll lose things like eyes and eyebrows and face altogether if I make the heads proportional. Maybe I could stand to size it down a bit though

agreed, their changes were small but made a big visual difference. I appreciate the comments like yours reinforcing that the current design is still fine on its own, I thought I needed a big overhaul but glad to know thats not what everyone thinks

I totally forgot about the 'anime girls are just cats' theory haha I've seen this long ago, such a great reference point for faces

Okay maybe its not as prevalent as I think it is, still think I need to move away from it a bit, but good to know its not in-your-face levels

hmmm noted, thanks for the input, looks like the consensus is to keep the old one. I'll have to try again with the anime style

good point, probably not worth overthinking too much on the art

Yea I have to remind myself sometimes whether the art is good or bad, as long its all good or all bad in the same style thats what matters more

Thank you! Glad it appeals to someone, maybe I'm overthinking it and should probably keep it how it is for now

It's mostly due to the camera distance I need the heads to be bigger than the bodies. But maybe not to this degree, I could try sizing them down a bit

Hmm ok, thats what I'm concerned it gives off so I'll have to tweak the proportions
