Description EDIT: So, I actually came across this video that considers the themes about Gurren Lagann as a whole, but the reviewer also considers an angle about Yoko's design I thought was pretty interesting and worth sharing. The part about Yoko starts at 11:00, and now I find myself in a somewhat neutral position on her design.

------------
Was thinking about Yoko from Gurren Lagann last night while I was thinking about how to make my own characters look like young teens and got surprisingly annoyed when I remembered Yoko's supposedly the same age as Simon (14-years-old). If that's the case, not only would most people never be able to guess that, but she's portrayed pretty sexually in the show and that made me cringe retrospectively. So, I tweaked her design a bit in ways I think would help her better read as 14-years-old with some notes alongside.

I have to admit. I like your version.

You're welcome. If I were you though, I'd rather add another sleeve or do without sleeves at all to make her more symmetrical.

I don't have a problem with your redesign or the original design it's just imagining Kamina kissing a auctlly 14 year it's kinda weird.

That's exactly how I felt about this character ever since I heard of Gurren Lagann! Your design looks much more fitting and amazing~β™ͺ Awesome artwork, man~! You've brought a solution to a problem that's bugged me every time someone would bring up Gurren Lagann~!

No worries, dude~! I'm trying to get better at responding back to comments (still a work in progress ). Happy to hear from you to, bud~! It certainly has; I'm trying to revive myself (slowly) back on dA. I've just been doing work and school and trying to figure out how make drawing a constant in my life once more (I've been slacking too much)~!

Naw, I definitely get you in regards to a lack of presence of dA - a lot of life and other stuff just became much more relevant for several years and the community felt like it was in a slump. Honestly I wasn't sure I would ever really update my page again but here I am! At the very least, if we're still making art then I think we're still good, even if we aren't posting itΒ

Thanks, I appreciate it (although to be fair all I really did was lengthen her shorts and give her a proper bra, )

Yoko is good the way she is; she doesn't need to "be more realistic".

Especially seeing she never was 14 in the series... XD

I think she WAS, but it doesn't matter, since she's 2D.

Yoko started at 18, she never was 14 in the series!
The 14 year old thing is just a big internet rumour!

Trust me, I know my waifu ^^
