Design Regrets or "Why did I do this to myself?"

[ocnony]

Oh, my! I did the same...

[alliascompany]

Having half my characters have tattoos on the right arm and the other half on the left. I'm still wondering if maybe I should change it.

[Ramonkey]

That's not happening to me.

I use capes. Hehe. And masks. So when lazy lazy I draw no body body. Hehe.

Oh. I do complex character design? Sorry character dead next panel.

[DukeOfOool]

That's 10000000% the outsider in ToTC his cape and hat bend reality around them so I don't have to draw anything other than a silouette.

Toning her hair instead of using solid black

I love the look but....it’s such a pain in the butt cutting out the shape. And since she’s the main character we have to cut out her hair a lot

Also, her Calico hair

I tried to keep her design simple and limited my color palette (and don’t have her change outfits every chapter xD)
But I couldn’t avoid giving her the tri-colored hair (because it’s kinda important for her character). It’s so annoying memorizing the pattern and coloring it in panel after panel. Luckily past me gave me a break and stuck only to Orange for her tail....

[Ramonkey]

Hahahah I really feel you.

[DasIstWunderblyat]

These.
I don't make comic but I recurrently draw some of the outfits here.

[azzy-m]

This lady's entire gown.

It doesn't even look that good? I don't know why I decided to hyperfixate on this one. I can come up with better alien gown designs, goddammit. Lmao. Now this is an old drawing, and from a comic that I'm still working on, so at least I can still change it.

I hate the layout of my MC's apartment. I have in recent chapters corrected some of the mistakes by adding windows but I hate trying to set up scenes around it.

[phoenixrenaissance]

Lol, reading through this thread and I just think we should do comics like early 3D gaming.
First chapter is your general info about the characters with your highly polished concept art. The remainder of your pages is block folk of questionable quality. XD
It's ok, the readers know what they're supposed to look like.

[Ardelvion]

I regret drawing every single hair strand on long hair. Spent a long time getting this one done and my eyes couldn't take it anymore. So since episode 4, I decided to change the way I draw long hair.

[AmataLenna]

My MC is a pain sometimes. He's really fun to draw and I designed his hair specifically to accent a good silhouette. His glasses are uneven to add to the hectic, wild feel I want for him. But this in motion? AWFUL.

@ninjashira Oh man! That's worst than my regret. Yikes! drawing a library. That's so many books.

[spadedigsbutts]

I regret allowing rooms and buildings existing. All of them.

[amthecomic]

Well I definetely regret adding so many car scenes to the script. While writing i thought, this is gonna be so great! And then I realized pretty quickly that I can´t draw cars... Anyways I am still pushing myself through this but it takes so much time until I have a result that i like. Apperently the futuristic setting does help, because its a great excuse to leave a lot of details behind. (You know, the car design of the future is more sophisticated than details xD)

Here are some of my attempts to draw as little of the taxi as possible...

[nathanKmcwilliams]

See this guy's hair? Yeah. The regret is real.

It's a pain to draw on behind the back shots especially.

[emvink]

same here!! i have a car scene in my script that i just...didn't...include in my webtoon. I will eventually need to draw the cars though

[Freemints30]

Hey you know what would be a great idea. Have Adam have temporary tattoos that would change every chapter he appears in. That wouldn't be a pain in the ass to draw and remember at all. I can certainly come up with new ones every chapter he appears in and keep it consistent.

I kinda regret doing it now....

[ratique]

Oh... I have so many regrets. Just like many others here I would always design outfits while thinking "Yes, it's a bit detailed but it's totally worth it!", only to realize a few chapters later that NO, it really WASN'T worth it!

One of the latest dumb things I did is the furry part on William's Coat, especially because I needed to shade it AND his bag was overlaying parts of it. That made it far more complicated than I expected. Never again.

[spadesart]

him.........

peacock i love u but u were a nightmare to repeatedly draw
