Character Design Quarterly is a great resource not only for character designers but designers of all kinds. The different methods for things like research and composition consideration detailed in it are super enlightening! I always have some new techniques I want to try out after reading!

Process of Elimination and Master Detective Archives: Both are newbie works with superpowered master detectives to hunt a serial killer. PoE is crazy because it incorporates strategy gameplay outside of a fighting context. MDA was more of what I want from a kodaka game and the dungeons are great.

Trolls 3 was unexpected: I watched it on a whim after liking a Mount Rageous cover. I watched for the villains (their designs and movement are cool) and got good writing, an imaginative world, and impressive animation. (Making characters with big hair seems fun until you mess with hair physics)

A book that inspired me was Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. This book uses facts that often bring dread such as that you can't do everything to actually motivate you. It tells you how those facts can make life amazing and bring meaning. This helped me recontextualize time limits.

A song that inspired me was Otomodachi by Phantom Siita. By the end of the first day I'd found this song, I had played it ~25 times with at 15 of those being in a row. The song is about 5 friends, or so they think. Secretly one of them is a traitor. Plus the group has yet to release a bad song!

My general art inspiration has been GinjaNinjaOwO. Seeing the Apollo arc plus the PRISM overhaul really helped me feel less stuck. I had gotten really in my head about what I was (and wasn't) creating. Such an honest look into what brought them joy and their commitment to that, helped me a lot.

Firstly, I've always loved fashion but when it came to more alt looks, I was always nervous. Then I found cyber.grl! Her channel is mostly focused on decora fashion, but she also talks about other j-fashion. Her joy and positivity stuck with me, I want to bring that same energy in 2025!

Honestly, valid. Would you be willing to expand on your process for this a little?
