I still have a lot of trouble drawing Riri★
I hope I can figure him out someday

When I first read the description, I thought "What? That can't work."
But then I scrolled through your example drawings and man it's a wildly interesting approach
It's kind of how there's many ways to caricature an irl person with them still being recognizable, except fictional characters matching whatever you need in your story.... fascinating, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read!
My hope is the characters are always recognized, no matter what mood they are in or what side of themselves they are showing ^^
