Drawings Megathread

For one example, since it's the most recent:

(Some of these might have also been the same character, but they seemed to be labeled otherwise; forget if I can be sure, though)
Same hair in these too, for that matter. And weird poofy hamster body, but I'm assuming that just the preferred flavour of furry he draws or whatever. They don't have any distinguishing features other than, like, patterns, with the rare horns of big goofy ears. If you only saw their silhouettes, they'd be pretty much indistinguishable from one another.

eh. i didnt really mind

[Taboo]

That doesn't really make it any better or worse a character design trait. :V

Yeah... I can't say I'm really a fan of Powerdag's "identical faces and hair" thing.  Though it's at least well-drawn, I'll give it that.

They're cute, though I'm terrified by the fact that he apparently draws them boning.

[*FacePalm*]

you know, maybe you're right


i have the same face in all of my drawings

I don't
idk
I don't think I've ever seen that
he's drawn them with genitals before. but I've never seen any hardcore stuff. idk if I've ever even seen one with an erection

i see what you mean, and i realize you're not saying this is a bad or a good thing but simply stating it like it's a fact (and also implying you dislike it), but doesn't it seem like it would be this way for most artists?

your example is of one artist, powerdag (feel free to use his name some time), and his preferred style is drawing cute, chubby, furry characters, so yeah; they pretty naturally look similar since he has one strongest preference and one specific drawing style for the fur, the chubbiness, etc.

idk, i feel like you could apply this to pretty much every artist, though in many cases probably not the silhouette example.

oh damn that one in the bottom right is hot stuff

I'm kind of curious about that, actually.  Like, I can actually kind of imagine how characters like this might work in research.



I mean at least the body type here is humanoid.  It's childlike, but "children loving" isn't particularly high on my weirdness ladder.

THESE though...



The very thought horrifies me.

[ChickenMaster]

but doesn't it seem like it would be this way for most artists?

no, not really. artists have preferences and styles, which would make characters appear similar (i.e. you could tell they were drawn by the same person), but that doesn't mean that they should look completely identical.

The thing to keep in mind, though, is that this issue would be a whole lot more important if powerdag were doing character design, for like, a comic or game or something (see: Frozen). In that case, samefacing would be a serious problem because there's bajillions of ways to make a character look different, even if they are related or whatever. With doodles, it's not really a big deal, other than maybe it builds a habit.

omg its been so long since i drew on paper

[Taboo]

I don't

You're 110% furry, your opinion is sort of moot on whether or not weird little hamster things doing the do is weird.

They're being labled/named as characters.

The hair and facial details are pretty much all exactly the same, with the only real differences being for stylized eyes.
