Anonymous asked: man I loved AA Dual Destinies but I really felt like that ending lacked proper emotional resolution- like, all the bad guys were 'just' villains, y'know?
I’ve had a few messages asking me on my opinions of the game and damned if this one doesn’t just about nail it; I felt the same way, and being a giant nerd about villains and character motivation in particular I honestly felt frustrated with that finale (as much as I loved playing it, which seriously I did I’m playing through it again as we speak). I enjoyed the plot twists and how the case was planned out, but it just felt like it wasn’t ‘complete’ as story in the way that some of the AA games have been. It just missed that human empathy mark that they usual hit on the head so well, particularly as it had the potential to be kind of massively poignant and a means of tying up the whole ‘emotions’ and ‘justice’ dynamic of the game (but that’s just my humble onion and hey who am I to talk like I could make a game like that hot bananas no way no how).
buuuuut having said that it’s going to bug me forever so I’m going to be an obnoxious brat and draw an alt ending comic for my own conceited self-indulgent satisfaction because I didn’t spend five years of higher education learning to draw in order to create sensible things that make a profit damnit

Anonymous asked: sorry but I'm new- who are those characters, the guy with the TV head and the kid? are they your characters? :o
they are! they’re from a webcomic I write called The Property of Hate which is very weird and updates once a week which is horrifyingly slow but I’m working on that :|b
also if any more of you are new followers and you’re curious there’s some info about me and some of my other stuff in the FAQ!
Anonymous asked: my teacher says that I can't design characters with a good range of expressions without them having a face, do you think that's right?
Hard question; if this is an exercise for the purpose of learning to draw expressions they’re probably trying to help you, so keep working on those faces! It’ll be good for you in the long run, but in terms of declaring characters that don’t have faces to be void or incapable of expression I would argue against that very strongly; body language, gesture, and timing are just as if not more important than facial expressions!
Don’t let conventions limit your imagination, in terms of character design or anything else. Giving yourself boundaries can be helpful (if you get a brief for a character design you should try to follow it), and can be constructive in channeling direction, but it can also be horribly stunting and condemn you to having a narrow field of vision in what is acceptable in your and other people’s work. It all depends on context, but no, personally I don’t think that statement is ‘right’ at all.
