What is your character design pet peevee?

[60Six]

I can see that side of things! But your difficulty in finding plane colored tees just makes it clear...OFF it is to have an entire cast of characters in nothing but plain colored tees (without any layering). At least in a...realistic sense I guess? :'D
I have a lot of plain TANK TOPS that I use for layering, but yeah, I can't think of any time I've actually just...seen a colored t-shirt completely plain for sale in store. Most of the time, you have to order them from sites that have them in stock (to print things on and make them not plain lol).
It's definitely not a matter of me thinking its UGLY to have plain shirts, it's more so along the lines of if I see a whole cast of plain shirts all I can think is "Where did you all find these shirts? Who sold you these?? Did you all collectively decide to order plain colored tees?? You can't find these at fucking Target"

They need to tell me where they shop ;_;

To add to the thread.

Anthro characters specifically ones with fur, wearing clothes with zippers... just... that would really hurt if it got caught. Really... a lot...

@60Six and @kurapikasuki, haha my husband has a bunch of plain colored T-shirts from H&M and he loves them. He rarely wears anything else.

Another pet peeve of mine, when characters have the same damn hairstyle as children in their flashbacks and it's treated as normal.
Like it would be funny if there was a flashback of a kid with a bowl cut, and they have the same bowl cut as an adult though.

Spikey animu and mango hair. You know the one, the kind EVERY main protagonist used to have.
GOD NO

[vocaloidno1fan]

ah.. I hope you don't mind my upcoming series. The main character has heterochromia because she is based off of me. However, her eyes tend to change colors if a specific mood is strong enough. (Again, based off of me) I took some inspiration from Black Butler of one eye having a pentagram and be a different color than the other, but I kept the eyes as normal colors (a.k.a. like mine) and drew the pentagram to look more like a necklace I have..
Also.. I have a character that has "Rainbow" eyes.. what I mean is- her eyes are like the Northern Lights, they have a set of colors that are always changing and blending together.. Her eyes change to plain purple or red in certain situations though..

[vocaloidno1fan]

Actually, with how typical cat-human characters are drawn in anime, they aren't supposed to be placed where normal human ears are. The few that do have them there tend to droop down and give almost a "sleepy kitten" look to it (Chobitz is a good example.. Theres also another anime that has it but I cant think of the name..)
But it does bug me when they are directly on top.. That's not where they're supposed to be drawn.. I may be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the base of the ears line up with the base of the eyes.. Or top of where the normal human ears would be..
And that clash of colors thing bothers me too.. unless all the characters and the scenery and such are like that.. then it seems like a drug-trip X'D

[vocaloidno1fan]

O.O glad I drew all my characters that ever wear kimonos (or at least almost all.. I have to re-check) correctly.. I just went by what looks right.. but since you mentioned that I will make any necessary corrections.. or leave the right side on top for certain characters.. (they're technically undead.. so it's sort of a pun..)

[vocaloidno1fan]

i recommend not reading certain scenes of my (upcoming) story then... there are many over-sexualized wolf-anthros.. one is even a hermaphrodite (a.k.a. a he-she.. shemale.. a girl with parts.. just in case u didnt know..)
I am of the Furry community so I do like a well drawn anthro- oversexualized or not- but I do also understand that not everyone likes that ^^
However, my detailed anthros are that way for their own reasons.. whether it's a genetic thing, physical change, or even emotional thing.. they have reasons for their appearances.
All my characters do actually..

[nessiefynn]

What I was thinking was basically

So the ears don't have to be droopy but also aren't placed wierdly!

[vocaloidno1fan]

Ah, you may like my upcoming story then. All abilities are explained in my story, and all the appearances of my characters are for the reasons of the characters themselves. There may be some "common base of beauty" or whatnot, but I'm making my characters as diverse as the real world.. and I can assure the basically unemotional characters are rare and few

[vocaloidno1fan]

Ah, I do have a bit of a color=good/bad thing in my story.. but only for the VERY bad.. and the VERY good.. why not use cliches when they're the extremes right?
But really I tend to mix a lot of things together so it fits my idea of how to describe my upcoming story: as close to the real world as possible with a twist of Fantasy (specifically non-human characters with supernal abilities)
I have to agree on the virgin vs not virgin bit.. not all virgins are pure, innocent, and morally right
Not all non-virgins are corrupt, evil, and promiscuous.. in fact- most women (and a few men) have their virginity forcefully taken- or are at least forced into having sex with someone.. sad as it is, it's true..
My upcoming story, Hybrid, has many unique characters with detailed appearances, personalities, and backgrounds. Yes, some are over-sexualized, but it's for the reasons of the characters themselves..

[vocaloidno1fan]

Ah.. I see very well what you mean.. I can assure my upcoming story won't be that bad. I have corrupted characters that wear skimpy clothing, and morally good characters that have more of a child-like appearance.. and really the only character I can think of who switches from Frills to Fishnets is one of the craziest characters I have.. and the only reason she goes from Frills to Fishnets is because her and her lover (who is just as blood-crazy as her) both love having kinky sex. They take BDSM/S&M to over-the-top levels. So why not have her dress up like she belongs in a sex dungeon? It's practically what her room looks like. It wasn't too innocent-looking to begin with anyhow.
Now, I did say this was the only character I could think of who switches from Frills to Fishnets.. and stays that way
I have many characters that switch between cute and sexy clothing.. but all in all they're not 100% evil or 100% good

[vocaloidno1fan]

If you have a character who looks like an adult and behaves like a bratty child it's extremely confusing.

...That's the description of a teenager though..
But I do agree with you about adults looking like kids and vice versa.
I have a few characters that would fall under that category, but there are reasons.
No, that reason is not "because Lolicon fans need their dose of fan-service too"
One of those characters in particular is a psychopathic nymphomaniac.. trust me, I don't try to give Lolicons fan-service.. sexualized children is just creepy to me..

[vocaloidno1fan]

You have a problem with the gym uniforms too?!
Ugh it always weirds me out when I see them in anime..
Though.. I will be using it for my story.. or just replace the bottoms with REALLY short shorts... if it's summer that is
As for the skirts.. I have that for some characters in my upcoming story.. but for reasons that aren't fan-based..
I have to agree with you on the shirts.. I hate people over-emphasizing boobs in a baggy shirt.. like- no. stop.

[vocaloidno1fan]

Good thing I put details into all of my characters then
Yes, that includes males
Some are so unique from the males that they are often assumed to be female..
cough

[vocaloidno1fan]

You may like my upcoming comic then..

I actually have cat-humans that WILL cough up hairballs X'D
Really all my animal-humans will act like the animal as much as human
Basically they walk, talk, and speak like humans
But they may fight, mate, eat, or do other things like the animal
Example: my favorite Neko character I created- Kikone "Kiko" Von Nekros is originally from Scotland. She trims and sharpens her nails to be like cat claws. She tends to groom like cats do...... up to a certain point.. She doesn't like rain or being splashed/sprayed with water. She purrs and says nyah, meow, mew, and kyah often. Her favorite food is Sushi (but not until she travels to Japan) and she used to cough up hairballs when she was younger.. like- up to the age of 5..
I have many other detailed characters like her (I just gave a small chunk of information because spoilers)
I do have some very flashy characters, some scantily clad, some rather plain, etc etc.. but it all goes with those characters' reasons

[vocaloidno1fan]

You may like my upcoming story Hybrid then
I'm not a fan of metal bikinis nor can I draw armor... (not very well anyways)
Most facial scars- or really scars in general- are on female characters.. all for reasons.. and not all like their scars.. one character I have has claw marks about her left eye/on her left eyelid.. she doesn't like her scar at first.. but eventually gets used to it and later embraces it's existence
As for the heterochromia.. My main character has it.. BUT she is based off of me.. and her eyes (like mine) tend to change color depending on mood. Normally, she has one blue eye, one green eye.. and the green eye has a pentagram. (Yes its a Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler sort of thing.. but the pentagrams look nothing alike and my character's is in the left eye, not the right)

[vocaloidno1fan]

You might actually like my upcoming story
I did a lot of studying regarding the ethnicity/race/sexuality/etc for my characters
I also have a very mixed family (by that I mean 50 shades of white- I mean- a lot of Europeans in the family (too many to list right now) and a good chunk of Native American)
And I am a pansexual who has done their studying about the different genders and sexual preference labels
Also, I plan on including physical & mental disabilities (seeing as how both run in my family)
So I have a lot of diversity beyond stereotypes in my story

[nolongerusestheforum]

OH! You mean Matrix boobs? xD

Okay, that video? WOW. I've seen bad fanservice before, but that... I don't even know what that was.

[CelestialNavigator]

This is a great idea!
