Why Do Most Of Your Voice Designs Have All Their Faces Obscured? Also, Could You Draw What Their Faces

Why do most of your voice designs have all their faces obscured? Also, could you draw what their faces look like?

This is a fun question! The real answer is a mix between:

- when designing them I wanted the voices to have the same "do they have a beak? Is it just a flat face?" deal that The Long Quiet has

- I wanted to keep the designs halfway between "bird monster" and "humanoid" (this resulted in a lot of them landing in furry territory)

- I can't draw beak mouths so that option was out but I didn't want to draw humans

Likewise, the actual answer to "what would they look like without their masks?" is just, a flat face without a nose. Which is kinda boring even if that's simply how I treat their faces when drawing them! So instead, I interpreted your question as, what would they have looked like if I went the full human route?

Ta-daaaaa! Honestly as interesting as this challenge was, the result is too unnatural for me! Where are my boys?? Who are these guys!?!????

We are a path in the woods. We have no beginning, and we have no end…

Are you a path in the woods? Are you a body? Can you even grasp the fuzziest edges of the shapes that confine you?

Misunderstanding Polites

A lot of people see Polites is naive and innocent…. He really is not. He fought in a war, he has killed, he has seen some of the worst the world has to offer. Just because he chooses to greet the world with open arms does not change the fact he knows how bad the world can be. Honestly I really respect him as a character because knowing what he has been through and STILL staying open and optimistic is very hard to do.

Someone pointed out how the specific wording in open arms shows this

"This life is amazing WHEN you greet the world with open arms."

This shows that while he knows the world can be a terrible place but by greeting it with open arms the world is more likely to respond in kind

So yeah I love my sunshine character I really do but I understand that he is not naive or innocent

what people who say "don't say 30 year olds are old, 30 is still young!!!" don't understand is i know that. i'm not calling my 25yo coworker old because i believe it. i'm calling him old because i enjoy psychological warfare
