Hi! There has been some discussion around the illustration for Dawn Chorus we have uploaded today. The artist agreed to remake Rune's character if the majority of the patrons would request it, so we want to ask for your opinion on it. To let as many patrons as possible answer, the poll will be up for one whole day. Please note that you can pick multiple answers.

First, I really disagree with the idea to make him less atheltic. He is a sportsman after all, he has to be a bit more muscular than other characters. Inconsistencies should be corrected in future CGs, but they are not too glaring, I think this one is still good enough to put in the game. And as for making him adorable, this might be a good idea. Current CG has a very serious vibe to it, if that was not the intention for this scene, then maybe it should have been more casual. He is so happy on all other sprites, why does he here look sad?

I just think he is slightly too muscular in the CG. Like I see the Sprites and say “Yes, that is a BasketBall player.”

Unagi

When I see the CG I say “Yes, that is an American Football player.”

Unagi

I do agree with you about the face.

I don't believe the "he should be less athletic" option correlates to changing his overall design, but to only change his musculature in the CG. His arms are too big in the CG, even with the style differences. If it does mean altering his overall design, then it doesn't have to be a drastic reduction, he is an athlete like you said, so having more musculature than the other characters is natural. However to be a body builder requires a large dedication of time, so that should be kept in mind as well.

Unagi

I agree.

Dawn Chorus

With the results of the poll in mind we decided to ask Tintiai to change Rune's head according to your comments, we are currently waiting for an estimate :)

Unagi

Do you want me to spot you the money?

Dawn Chorus

The artist gave us an estimate for $15 for the changes, with the completion time this weekend. It's not that much and we can pay for it ourselves, but of course every bit helps.
