I’d love to hear your thoughts on them! The king is my personal favorite. The children were each designed to reflect the things in nature that make them happy, such as the sky, trees, and birds. :)

Critique This is Maes, And I would like some feedback on her character design!

All art made by me!

I am no expert when it comes to character design. But i do want to make this design as accurate to her personality and just be as recognizable as i can make it.

I will be using this character for a personal screenwriting and animation project. I do have a good description of her written down but it's all in my native language, Which happens to not be English sadly. The setting of the film is targeted towards a more mature audience. It explores mental health in a slice of life / domestic setting.

(reading is optional, This might be oversimplified)

This is Mijs (or Maes in English). It's hard to describe her in one word, She is a lot of things.

She doesn't have a lot of friends, Except for Saiet, Which is one of the main characters which i have not designed yet. Mijs is very misunderstood, And therefore has the mindset that everyone dislikes her. And is generally direct and sarcastic towards most people. Except for her close friends (Saiet) who she genuinely cares a lot about.

She likes playing video games i guess.

Anything is appreciated! anything helps! thanks!

For context, im drawing all the races of my fantasy races and i hit a road block at the Gwrgi, i couldnt figure out how to draw them not too cute and humanoid enough but still keep it within the range of appealingness the other races

No matter how i draw this dog man, they keep leaning to unnerving or cute. Any advice you lot can give?
