Thanks to you all for taking your time with commenting the article (especially Conceit for constructive criticism).
However, I'd like to briefly address exactly Conceit's statement about "do this more effortlessly, using instinct instead of rationale".
Assume you were to do such a series, say, 20 different female characters. Of course one can go and do all the designs 20 times, or one can attempt to reuse certain "components", just slightly modifing diameters, lenghts etc., ithout caring too much for angles (which still should be ok for later characters when the frst one is). - Don't get me wrong: I do /not/ criticise your critics (en contraire!). I just want to point out, that the "purely artistic approach" might be too time-consuming when compared to a "semi-automatic design" approach. - The latter has the potentital to get you somewhere within a "useful time". The former, however, definitely will look better, if an artist is at work
No offences intended. - Thanks again for all your comments, the /are/ appreciated.
