Character Design Choice Analysis Below V

Character design choice analysis below v

Gingerbrave:

Scars are an inevitable part of his design. I purposely tried to make his eyes lokk less cheerful and hopeful than the other characters because something about an inherently good and the embodiment of hope characters having the dryest old eyes than any adult he's ever met is really interesting. The patch on his vest is decorated with sewings from the kingdom-folks who helped him, they care for him. He actually has a vanilla cone hair tie in the back, it's the thing that keeps his hair together.

Strawberry:

The marks on her cheeks are supposed to be an imitation of Strawberry seeds. All of the added details from me are supposed to imitate real life stereotypical Strawberry, especially the curly leafy hair! I tried to make her look introverted but comfortable around her teammates, hence the complex pose in the art, because if you're comfortable with someone you would definitely not mind posing with whatever pose that is comfortable.

Wizard:

His cat-like eyes are similar to Espresso cookie because I headcanon that most mages are made in the image of a cat by the witches, and also because it's a representation of how strong their mana is. I decided to make him look more 'ethereal' like the witches in the oven summoning scene, you know with the glitter and starry eyes and all that?? I also tried to make his eyes as dry as Gingerbrave's but more hopeful and cheerflul and bright, it showcases how despite being the smartest he's still a child with big hopes for the world and his future.

Custard:

Small.
