>>21702247hey, i care. i like people who get enthusiastic about stuff, especially designs and with him being realistic enough to say "feel free to ignore all of it" shows a level of maturity enough that I'm willing to respect his effort.
i couldn't really respond to all stuff here, because i went to bed after my last post. Generally I'm grateful about all the feedback and i think the artist appreciates it too, we are going through a couple things that has been said here, i even left him a link if he wanted to check out the thread, although i doubt he'll go that far.
I like the logical / realistic approach, but i think a couple of design choices that anons made don't fit into my world. Going back to what i initially said, the fighting style is closer to what Cloud does with acrobatics and unreasonable strength. His main source of power is the soul of an ancient dragon warrior to give you the idea of what cringe I'm writing up. (Ryu from Breath of Fire is a huge inspiration) We are also not fighting humans, most we will fight are beasts, dragons and the like. The way i imagine combat, armor is really redundant, even going so far to say even leather is overkill but you guys obviously can't look into my brain. I still want my character to be the logical type so his attire should make sense. He's a strategical fighter, even if his style is very simple. I won't get into too much detail, as it would likely just be boring. I definitely feel like a couple adjustments here look really good and we might go through a couple more iterations, funny enough the artist also posted Gran as a reference.
This has been a new and fun process for me, I'm fully aware this will do nothing for my streaming success but I'm investing in a hobby right now, not a career. I plan to never monetize my stream so it couldn't ever be. I want to tell the story of this character, and i think i have a good plan to do it through streaming.
