You know there is something wrong with the rocket heels when even a lecherous scumbag such as myself finds them incredibly stupid.

I’ve never been against fan service-y character designs or fan service by itself but i do believe that a little bit of subtlety can go a long way when it comes to boosting the appeal of things to a whole new level. (On all things design, i think, not only character related issues.) As a consumer i don’t really mind if the designs are all about the fan service, but at least try to pretend and make me believe it isn’t. Fan service doesn’t mean it has to be blatant or dull because if there’s skin showing people won’t care. The human mind is very, very powerful and sometimes things left to imagination can provoke a stronger response that the stuff we see. This is what i mean by subtlety as someone who has spent an unhealthy amount of time drawing armored characters out of said armors to appease the wild imaginations of strangers across the internet. Subtlety is what makes people go nuts and start drawing those bizarre doujins.

So, uh, rant aside. I wanted to draw Samus but apparently ended up drawing a blonde Mega Man. I’m sorry
