Starting character revamps and redesigns! Input requested!
7 years ago
Since I'm drawing close to finishing my commission list, and probably won't be offering any more in the near future in favor of working on my own stuff for a while, I've decided that my characters are badly in need of some updates and redesigns since some have not changed very much for well over a decade!
First of all my list has grown to big. Again. As it stands, sometimes characters will get a picture every couple of years, if ever, outside of their initial picture. Additionally, the work into their personalities and settings that make them actual characters gets divided between all of them, reducing the information available to any particular character.
I'm looking to have a roster of 3-6 characters to regularly draw and develop as an exercise in creative writing and also get back into doing exercises and experiments with my art and hopefully show some improvement that way too. I'm not happy at all where I am skillwise.
Characters I decide to keep will get updated, overhauled, and revamped. Others will be retired for possible future use. People have been asking if I would consider selling older characters and while I'm not inclined to right now, it's something for me to think more about.
SO FOR YOUR PART: I'm open to suggestions about which of my characters you'd like to see stick around, things you'd like to know about them, and/or any new species/themes you'd like to see from me in the future?
My current character list. Yikes

- I figure FemSky, Corrupted Sky (forget his name), and Anthro-Sky are sort of included as a package deal, if not, consider them mentioned.
Psike
And...that's about it for me, personally
for lenaere - could you make him more beefy and broader so that all three heads could fit. that guy needs more muscles
for cordi - wings need to be more roundish with insect wing patterns
for glasser and parady - give them some more belly abs. thinking a four or six pack
for psike - make him a bit taller and longer so he's just reached the height of a human
for all the females - expand their boob sizes a bit <
(disregard that one....that's more of a joke cause your female characters look cool and sexy)
Those are my thoughts
one final curious question....can i draws fan/gift art of any of them?
i think with a list like this you have a well rounded list of aquatic, dragon, alien, dino, bug , and aeromorph
I also personally dont think any of these characters need a big visual overhaul (dont change Atlanta she perfect), so it requires less redesigning visually and allows you to work more on character lore.
