Description
I don't think I ever uploaded this one. /=A bit more details about Soy's design. I know that my handwriting is awful. XD I'll make a colored, more organized version of this later.
While I'm fighting off the strange artist block I've run into, I'm trying to figure out the little quirks of my characters, like how they carry themselves, and the reason to why they dress the way they do.
It's a lot of fun.(Edit: Click on Download for a larger picture. My handwriting is almost legible at that size
)

Ah, I have a soft spot for concept sketches. There's just so much of the character 'idea' in them (obviously).
Of course, it helps if it's a concept sketch of Soy in particular.

I like them as well. Both to make them and to look at them.
Hohoho~ I'm not suprised, I wonder why.
Now that I've been working with Soy a bit, I'm starting to wonder why I like him so much. /= He used to be fairly normal, but he's been developing some really odd personality quirks lately.
Just making this sheet of sketches, I noticed that he has a pretty bad body size-complex, and that he no longer is as laid-back as he used to be. Now, he's more likely to intimidate people just because he can. /=

Fully agreed.
Oh, but traits like that are what makes a character interesting, aren't they. And it's fairly natural that he's getting increasingly interesting as you spend more time on him.

Yes, of course. Which is why I probably should spend some more time with my other characters, who are not as interesting. /=

Don't overdo the 'should's when it comes to art, though, huh? I'd rather see two or three honestly interesting characters than ten or fifteen forcedly elaborate ones the creation of which has watered out the interest-brew of the two or three characters you obviously care about.
By the way, your new icon's absolutely brilliant.

That's true. /= Still, most of my characters don't have enough flaws yet, which is the fun thing to think out for them.
^^ Thank you. My old one was driving me nuts. I want to make a new ID, as well, but I need to think of an idea for it first.

Well, as long as you focus your main creative force where you want to focus it, I'm sure you can make the other characters believable with the fingernail of your left pinky.
Oh, I hear ya. Appearance may not be everything, but change is a nice thing.

Well, I sure hope so.
