It seems like the kind of character aesthetics I’m attracted to at any given time has a lot to do with the kinds of artists that inspire me at a given time. For example, I draw more bara kemo stuff when those artists are inspiring me and draw more mesukemo stuff when it’s those artists.
The universal constants in all cases though are that the characters have a certain “flow” to them and that they’re big in whichever capacity (barring macro since I’m indifferent to that).
