What is a generic male/female look?? (Correction 2)
6 years ago
So I am starting and going through my concept ideas. Working about 3-4 of what will keep me busy through the fall/winter season.
One concept that has been around with me since coming out & meeting other men. Is the dating/friendship/romance of meeting them.
I am trying to go about how to design a character that has a generic looks. Someone who you wouldn't think as a stand out type of person.
From gay novels, anime, shows, movies. When I was young. To now comics, websites, apps, and visual novels. It's all about the drama of dating someone else and the dangers of the wandering eyes.
So the story I am going to write/draw, will have some bits and pieces of what I went through trying to meet and date men I felt attractive too.
But the one thing I always felt when I was younger. That I wasn't what you called the "cute, handsome, petty," guy that would turn guys heads when you walk into place where other gay men meet to pick up someone.
I was what you called just average (generic) in the look department.
So that is the base of the story I am going to write about. How does a guy with a generic looks get the attention of hot furry men?.
Will be posting concept drawings here and other sites to get opinions on the characters design works. But the final work and story will be on my Patreon page.
So what do you think about someone who's looks just disappears in a crowd. And you just can't place the face you've met the other day?
(SORRY... WHAT I WAS SAYING & ASKING.. HOW DO I OR CAN I DRAW PERSON THAT HAS A LOOK THAT IS SO GENERIC THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T GIVE HIM A SECOND LOOK. AND IS FORGETTABLE.

2) complete lack of body tone. lots of animes with high school settings are good reference for this and even have amazingly common people designs... although still try thier best with eyes and hair without going into the other anime designs.
3) no piercings or tattoos or styles. single color clothing, no patterns or logos. jackets are unavoidable sometimes though...
4) speaking of eyes, brown or dark green. common = ignorable.
all this "generic" hunting can backfire with how the person is used... actions define a person, hobbies, job, personality, flavors, friends, posture, skills, emotions.
I would think a $14 from super cuts, that is very easy to maintain would be the most generic. Also maybe a buzz cut? Thats pretty generic, but also doesn't translate well in most drawn artwork, imo.
