Posted 6 years, 10 months ago (Edited 6 years, 10 months ago) by aimlessPlayer

i regret giving Torrs their chain tattoos o h my g od theyre such a pain to draw

im also kind of embarrassed by Eva's first name bc i made her when i was like 10 and didn't realize how uncommon it was.

anyone else have character choices they kind of regret?

Xaanik Aarix

I literally regret almost every single aspect of Xaanik's design OTL

  • The palette sucks bigtime. I got too caught up in the symbolism of it that I didn't stop to consider whether or not it actually looked good
    • Grey skin!? Black blood!? What the hell was I thinking it's literally impossible to make him look very appealing lmao
  • His weird figure makes most clothes horribly unflattering
    • I'm sick of him & his gross unreasonable perfect anime body lmfao 
  • His wings make for a cluttered silhouette and also makes him a nightmare to pose especially with other people. Also having to think about how he dresses himself is hell
    • Wings are cool but they make so little sense to have really irl
  • Similarly, those shoulder feathers mean he can't wear things unless his shoulders are bare
  • Generally flagrant kink bait I mean look at that outfit 
  • The triangle nose I keep drawing him with makes it very hard to visualise him realistically
  • Markings are garbage 
  • Generally garbage
  • Every word out of his mouth makes me wanna throttle him he's the most hypocritical dumpster fire of a character... Which would be fine if he wasn't meant to be vaguely sympathetic 
  • I'm sick of his bullshit
  • I could revamp him but I'd need to change so much & I'd feel badddd

why do I keep putting multiple body parts on something and then complain it's hard to draw

Spirus Bleu galaxycreations

Their horns! When I started drawing Spirus I wanted to draw something different also liking horns I included them, as I developed the story I had to figure something with those horns. They fit my story now as all or most OCs have them, but it was annoying and I can't imagine them without their horns.

 Dain Aarix

Honestly? Dain is wayyyyyyy to attractive for what's essentially a human corpse with a bunch of alien goo & technology haphazardly crammed inside. Like, the fact he looks so Cool and Not Gross kind of breaks my own suspension of disbelief. And I find the anime-prettyboy/cyberpunk badass shtick to be... just kind of uninspired lmao

 Though I'm distinctly lacking in visually appealing characters so.... I guess he'll stay pretty, for the time being :')

Kriller nekomaster1000

I LIKE it, but I really hate drawing this guy's stupid head!! Circles and spheres are hard to do perfectly ;<;

 Banshee mathpope

Banshee, and by extension, Siren. Should be self-evident as to why -- but I do love how they look when I get through all that 

Henri Lowell Caine

I don't necessarily regret Henri's design as much as I lament the fact I didn't expect people to react to him the way they do. I have gotten so many gross terms directed at him because he looks like a girl to other people apparently and I'm rolling my eyes so hard they're gonna fall out of my sockets soon!!! 

Trevion atempause

his old design made him actually look like a failed experiment

now he´s just giant furry
