Re: Character images
These are all really great, keep them coming! 
I might try to have a go at making some, it seems fun.

Very dynamic. And the new style works too.
I nearly forgot to post my latest picture. If you don't do everything directly... *sigh*

Re: Character images
I think I also know who they are and your drawing style seems to be improving recently. It's interesting to follow the development. And interesting to see characters who aren't smiling, at least in the traditional way.

Re: Character images
I am constantly amazed at people saying they recognize characters from their pictures. I mean, true, my chars probably haven't met any of the characters who have been drawn to date, but really, I don't get it. What's there to recognize? The drawings are pretty generic, and there are only a limited number of clothing that people can wear, hair color/style, eye color, etc. And how much detail can people put into char descriptions that distinguish them from a thousand other Cantrians?

Re: Character images
I somewhat agree. But I do have recognized three images. Two because of very specific clothing, and one because he was mine and just as I pictured him inside my head.

Well, with about 5 different hair and eye colors and two genders, you can exclude about 98% of characters. That leaves only a couple of dozen characters and clothing actually allows quite a lot of individualization. And you wouldn't even need that hint in group pictures, since it should be pretty rare to find a couple with exactly the same primary features twice.

Thanks. I'm getting a lot of practice lately.

That was my thought, too, and I'm not even very familiar with the guy.
Nicely done in any case.

Re: Character images
Bowser, It's not how I pictured him, especially his face. But well done it's a nice picture.
