The first faculty critique came and went in a flurry. I’m not sure what’s going to happen with my story quite yet, but I’m experimenting with a new character design based on feedback I got in the crit.
At the very least, I like the colors for him and the sock . . . that is, if my story even has a sock in it anymore. :(
