Character designs (with post on The Last Birdling)

[InvertMouse]

Hi there . As always, I hate stealth promos, so I want to share my post on The Last Birdling first:

 

To avoid more shameless plugs, I would like to dedicate this thread to character designs in general. From all the VNs you have played, are there any character designs that stand out? A few of my thoughts:

1) It doesn't necessarily have to be about the costumes. For instance, perhaps a character sports a hairstyle you have never seen before.

2) Sometimes, it can be about body types. Let's say with Love Live (though it is not a VN), I think plenty of people appreciate Nozomi. Though she is pretty of course, she also stands out by not necessarily fitting into the unrealistically slim stereotype.

3) Many VNs take place in school settings. This limits what designers can do, but the uniforms themselves can stand out, and the cast still have casual clothes. Also, what designers do to separate characters from one another while in uniform is worth a mention. Different shoes, sock lengths etc. It undoubtedly also helps fulfill a various of fetishes.

Happy to hear examples, opinions and anything else related to the topic of design. Thank you !
