Hmmm, about something you said earlier on this thread (like, 70 pages ago). I could see the similaritys in the haird of each character with their conterpart. However, curiously, their face don't mach. Insted, Kyonko's face is more round, just like Haruhi's and Haruki's is more long, simmilar to Kyon's... Was it on purpose?

Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it.

In anime it's far more common for females to have much shorter, rounder faces than males. Males eyes are also typically smaller than the females unless they're very young, of course. So I don't want to make the faces exactly the same shape otherwise it looks... creepy. Having said that, I originally had Kyonko's face resembling Kyon's a lot more, but at the behest of Danchou, I changed it to look a bit more like Yuki's. The Haruki was based off of my previous rendition which Danchou and Kaisos gave input on as well. My original Haruki looked a bit too old, actually.

Because that's how female anime characters are drawn. They're given rounder features then the male characters.

True enough. Which is why I was asking about the exact nature of the Yuuki/Computer relationship how they are connected what roles they are playingDAMNITKOGETSU! Depending on how each one is functioning in the relationship would decide how they are connected.

If Yuuki is acting as the Internet in the relationship, it would suggest one sort of set-up, whereas if he is connecting to the other computer for extra processing power and the Internet connection it has (or, more interesting, using the computer's Internet connection to access a number of computers on, say, the Tokyo-area WAN to boost his processing) then the set-up would be different.

Wonderland is not a fun place to be.

The Seitenkan Danchou wanted me to give some comments:

Firstly I think you've captured the characters very well, great job.

Kyon and Haruhi's face and expressions are the best in this set. The only improvments would be more eye details, but this is just a sketch so its fine.

Haruki's cheek is a little too high and wide, otherwise he looks good as well.

Kyonko's face is flat vertically, especially when compared to Haruhi's face, to fix this you can lower Kyonko's scalp. You can see that Kyonko's eye's are below half of her overall head height, making her face look flat. Her cheeks are also a little angular and wide, maybe you can smooth it down with a slight curve.

For the bodies, basically the height and length proportion is alright, though there are some small parts that can be improved.

Haruhi's left arm is shorter than her right, same goes for Kyon. Mainly the problem here is their left shoulders are lower than their right and their left lower arms are shorter than their right lower arms.

Kyonko's shoulders are sloping too much, making her arms look very short.

Haruki has best proportion here, nothing out of order.

The last thing is both of the girl's hips and legs. Their hips are too straight, this uniform's skirt is quite famous for showing curvy hips. And when you make them curvier, their upper thighs should get more volume as well, this will make their legs more tasty lol

I think that's all I have for now. Reaching for perfection in the name of Haruhi-sama.

I know the very same face would be creepy. But Kyon's has the longer fae, while Kyonko's has the rounder. This was what caled my attention.

Yes.

But it kind of died.

I'm sure it will be back eventually, either when my teachers stop sucking at life, or when I figure out how to stop playing Umineko.

Also, Kyonko's shoes look like they're being worn backwards. Then again, it isn't likely the sprite used ingame will have the feet as visible.

And on the topic of visual novels, I just finished reading The Noose.

...Girls wear panties on the outside of their pantyhose? Really? I was under the implication it was the opposite.

The fact that, even when taking my sexuality into account, that shouldn't be my first reaction aside, I'm pretty sure that Alice Whorade takes place before Alice of Human Sacrifice, but after Alice in Wonderland.

That's why the little dream was about to disappear, you see; it was an acid trip-turned-wet dream, and that made the original dreamers go into counseling to take pills to make weird-ass dreams like these go away.

Also, in the immortal words of Anons on /y/, cock or GTFO.

Vaguely on the topic of sprites, is the VN going to be Key-style or Type-Moon? Or something different? (Yes, those are the only two VN makers I've played VNs of)

... Wow. That was creepy.
Also, is it just me, or does Miku seem similar to the Queen in the video?

I am also going to disagree. It's a lovely place if you lack that annoying little thing called "sanity."

I believe Type-Moon was the template here.
