Project 2
It’s not unusual for designers to pair ‘default’ looking normal guy animal designs with ‘othered’ girl designs with added hair, clothes, or boobs, eyelashes, curves, etc.
(None of these images are mine.)
Instead of being normal, you get weird shit. Why? It’s obnoxious and bad character design. 
Gotta emphasize softness. In a dragon. Yup.
You wanted monkey boobs? In a bathing suit? Looking like a pin up while the rest are hunched over goblins? No? Here you go anyway.
Why does she have that hair/ear thing? And eyelashes?
They gave a squirrel boobs. Welcome to hell.
In real life?
Can you see a difference at one glance from this picture? Nope.
Even in humanoid designs, it happens. Softer, same faces for women.
Women all have the same body type and face shape.
Or, if they do have diversity, it’s only in side characters. The main women characters have to have the same petite round pixie face. Because god forbid they make a character who looks like this a main, leading character.
Look out, her face isn’t tiny and round!
give voyd her own movie, dammit
In short, extreme differences put in designs in order to hammer in the otherness of girl characters is annoying and designers can do better.
Both people and animals vary in size, shape, and how they look. Anyone of any gender can look any way.
It’s bad design!
So, I switched the ideals. My dinosaur cow is normal. The dinosaur bull really needs you to know he’s a guy. Really really. He’s insecure. The cow is just, a cow. Eats grass and poops. Looks like an animal. But the guy? You gotta know he’s a guy. What if you thought they both just looked like gross animals? Hell would break loose.

Yup, the regalia ideas. Sort of
Regalia Sketches + Inspiration I still like what I have here but I had to study for an art history test and my brain is dead. I like the golden fleece and nautilus on a scroll ones a lot.
Ideas: argonaut helmet, seems okay but I really want to try something else. Golden fleece is more creative.
