>>16871791If you mean give a simple example, I can do that. But keep in mind i'm not here to do the designing for you. I've done enough of that weeks ago.
Here's an example of what I meant by not adding superfluous details, or adding details that link back to concept.
>tropius>base concept: grass/flying dinosaur (I don't know if this was their actual base concept, or if they had another idea with it; this is just an example)>detailed/specific concept (adds to base concept, something I don't see enough of and was my main criticism): banana tree, sauropodWith these base ideas out of the way, we use these, and only these to build up a design that has no complicated/confusing elements that appear at random.
>wings are banana tree leaves>plated skin>bananas on chin, because banana tree>the body type is pretty much typical sauropod dinosaurSimple design, simple concept but all the elements tie in together, you see? I mean, they could have just gone and added maple leaf horns, mango breast guards, a coconut canon and a t-rex skull, but they stuck with the concept.
