LISTEN... I MAY be addicted to redesigning my character... BUT ITS SO FUN!! and I think this one is a great improvement! :]
It takes aspects from previous designs and alters a few of the latest design - most notably the eyes are more simple and the hair has been simplified. One of my favorite aspects about this new one is how dynamic and easy it is for me to move things about without being too picky about it.
Since around 2018, my character artwork has always been very 'mathematical' in alignment and line art to try and make things PERFECT. but with trying to break being a perfectionist theres nothing better than a design that lets you add add, move, and change it without being picky. A lot of expressions you simply miss out on if you try too hard to make the art look perfect. Expressions can be UGLY!! (theres none here that are super ugly but you get the point lol)
Although I loved the last design I did, it felt a bit too try-hard, and I think this one stays iconic to what's come before while also embracing my want to change and alter stuff - so excited to use this in videos and content!!
