CBinnsIllustration and JosephCow thank you for the input indeed and I will try to use the remaining time left to appease you both.
In regards to what CBinnsIllustration mentions about using the CHOW for Character Design or Illustration, I think that at this point with where the forum is at and where the world is at, that we should merge the two together as one no doubt, but of course put strong focus on the characters design. As long as the illustration still holds solid character design then why not; and if an artist on here wants to just keep it classic and stick to just the character design then why not?
None of us are getting paid for any of this and we do need to have our fun especially in times where time is limited more than ever due to the cost of living and all the things we must do to survive throughout our days. For many of us like myself, this is one of the only great joys in my life. Life moves fast, too fast, and I could say that from starting getting into concept art back in 2007 at 27 years old, that the time has just jumped in leaps and bounds to where I wake up at 43 all the time like wtf?
It is what it is, and the time is only going to continue to go from here. So let it be known that when it comes to any of my briefs on here you are absolutely allowed to take either a strict character approach, or go the illustration route. Just again, make sure that a good amount of the character and design emphasis are thrown into the mix when it comes to the illustration aspect of things which can be challenging considering 3/4 of the character must be visible. If our comic book comrades can find ways to make it all happen in their skinny, vertical, rectangular compositions, then so can we considering we are not constrained to comic cover measures.
Keep rocking guys!
