I'm not too picky about hairstyles, except for ridiculous afros.

As for costume design, revealing outfits are a love/hate thing for me, but anything in most shades of pink make me barf.

Pretty much the whole gravity defying hair. Also I really hate clothing that's too plain and out of style. I mean, out of style is okay if it looks good, but some people really can't pull that out.

So all in all, this series pisses me off.

Minnane, I think the problem is that on the left side, the face is too pointed, if you rounded it a bit I think it'd look better. I like the outfit and hair though.

Yeah I think part of that happened while inking, although I do sorta have a problem with that.

Also why does colon p turn into Razz

they don't look anything alike.

What I got from Squids commentary is that shes rather into the normal stuff, per say. Not the fantasy stylized deals. Am I right?

Anyway, yeah, the rules on the original thread said any OC of any sort is allowed, even if they're in a fanfic. Just so long as you created the character yourself.

Am I the only one who actually occasionally goes out of their way to try and use design aspects they hate, just to try and get over it? I've actually found it's helped get me to the point where not a lot of character designs bother me anymore, because I can take them in objectively for what they portray and the vibes they give.

And while I'm at it, first batch of mugshots is go!

For me, characters can't and shouldn't be something that would make every single head turn in they were walking in a crowd. Originality is nice, and I'm not saying you should make your characters really plain, but if I can't stop looking at them with my mouth slightly open, something is wrong.

Actually I've noticed games have been better about that recently. The main characters are usually more elaborately dressed, but they also tend to match up with the places they're from better than they used to.

So uhm...

Apologies for a fairly crappy sketch, since I drew it in the corner of the stupid page, but I want to use him for a story in my head later on. He's massive, if I base it in this world he's going to be Russian, and he seems kinda earthy-tonish (don't know what colour for his hair, though)...

Any suggestions on a name for him?

Hmm...I have a friend who knows some russian, maybe I can get a name idea from him?

Also, right now what I assume is supposed to be a nostril kinda looks like a wart on the end of his nose or something, but other than that it seems good. He has a hefty nose though, but it fits him.

Vasili or Vasily is the default Russian name for Russian characters that isn't Sergei or Ivan, as far as I can tell. Otherwise, look for a list of Russian names?
