Description
WARNING: Minor spoilers for "The Collector"Above you'll see the general expressions I've plotted out for each girl in the Menagerie.
It's nice because I feel like plotting out their expressions has helped me solidify the identity of each girl. And while I adore each and every one of them, I especially like where Iris went. That horror just wants so badly to sneak into my work...
Currently I have 52 illustrations that will need to be done here, I'm hoping to cut that number down closer to 35-40. But in order to do that, I wanted to feel out how often I would use each expression. So this is my shorthand as I handle writing each of the different branches and hopefully it should become obvious where some additional expressions are needed, and where others are redundant or unnecessary.
As always, I live for your feedback. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.
And as always, thanks for stopping by!
The girls belong to, in order of their appearance:

I really like the variety of expressions between all of the characters and diverse they all are. Can't wait to see who they play out.

It's nice to have a first look into the personalities for everyone. At the moment, Dahlia and Crystal stand out as favorites for me. Probably because their ranges look like they go from somewhat reserved to cartoonishly expressive. Iris is similar but I'm preemptively filing her under nightmare-fuel for now. Allow me to cast my unofficial vote for Crystal's 'Shameless' and 'Delight' expressions to make the final cut.
Not entirely sure what expressions I would recommend cutting, especially given that the story is still being written. Aster's Playful/Satisfied and Iris's Open/Friendly options might be similar enough to merge the two together in each instance but otherwise I'm not sure where to go from there. I do not envy you that task.

Whenever I see/hear the word Menagerie I think of the 2-part episode of Star Trek XD
