Artist's Comments

I actually made one, huh. I had this idea for a while after being inspired by some particularly horrible character designs. I bet some of you have come across such as well. Appalling, isn't it.

However, this wound up becoming rather simple compared to what I originally intended, but I'm planning to make a more advanced version ... if if IF this was any help to begin with.
These are just tips and suggestions so it's nothing to get upset over.

And no, I'm not a professional character designer or anything. It's just what I do. It's my heartblood.
And if something tells me that my characters are successful, it's the fans. The few but faithful fans.

You can save this tutorial on your computer for further reference. :I but stealing and claiming it to be yours is a no-no (which is highly unlikely but STILL).

la la la.

Sooooo. Please, feedback is welcome, and feel free to ask any question and I'll try my best to answer them as well as I can.

Edit: Whoa damn, the attention this tutorial drew exceeded all of my expectations. :omg: Thank you very much for showing interest!

This....is way funny. I love it so much!!

I definitely agree with you on how people usually give a character no personality and is only just looks.

Btw that guy's belt looks like a scary crotch monster lulz

Thank you! :D

And true, it's saddening to see characters that are just hollow shells. I've been there, I've drawn silly accessories on characters to compensate their lack of personality. But yeah... if people like their character like that, then fine, they can stick to that. I'm not telling anyone what they should do.

Also, I agree about that belt buckle.
It's supposed to be a dragon head but it messed up. XD

Too much orange, the color scheme is nearly painful on the eyes. Next time, really try duller colors and give the letter more contrast. Thanks.
