having spent like a whole day and a half mostly working on the new shell for aster, the old shell suddenly looks Very Strange, kind of off-putting almost
I planned to leave the old shell still available but I'm almost debating to either just Not or only make it downloadable
like yes I know some of the gestures weren't made in a way I wanted them originally, so I'm getting to address that now. but just Proportionally they look very weird to me suddenly.
I knew the head shape was directly borrowed from dca at the time but now the whole shape of their body feels like they were going through some kind of character design puberty, still halfway from my dca au designs. rn they have relatively matured into their own shape, though I don't doubt the design tweaks won't stop there
one thing I'm happy about is that they actually look like they're short proportionally now. I feel like their lankiness previously made them look taller than they actually were? like I do still have concept sketches where they were tall but by the time I made the ukagaka shell they were already like 140cm or something like that. now they're a bit wider and rounder, so I feel like that scans better
