I seem to have a type (Musing about my comic)
4 years ago
General
So, I've been working on the next page of A Typical Adventuring Day (I'm almost done. I just have two panels left to color) and this is where I introduce a multi-service tavern that caters to adventurers. I've used it as an excuse to whole-cloth make up characters as well as slip in other characters sitting on my roster or were just one-off doodle characters. And maaaan do I have a type. My characters, the females especially, seem to fall in to one of two archetypes: Big buff ladies, or short haired tomboys. The guys don't have much variation, either, being mostly muscly pretty boys.
Seriously, the sheer number of pixie cuts is unreasonable XD
I was already planning on changing up some outfits of the principal cast after this chapter (Zagreus' armor, while based on a real suit of armor, is a bit on the complicated side. And I think Lysia needs to actually have some armor for adventuring rather her casual outfit) I think I'm going to take a bit of time to doodle out some slight redesigns too (Lysia, Kali and Methos have waaaay too similar of hairstyles. Kali and Lysia especially).
My other excuse for the mass of cameos is to see if anybody responds to the background characters and ask for more.

Namely the quiet "done with this shit" role tends to come out alot in my male characters.
Would love to see what your story will show with their designs. And hopefully I didn't ramble too much
A friend gave me a great idea for how to play around with the characters' hairstyles and keep it from seeming jarring. Kali is an enchanter and has a mischevious streak. I can totally see her coming up with a spell that lets her make cosmetic changes to one's appearance (if such a spell doesnt already exist).
