Okay, about this, Yesterday I was under a lot of pressure regarding the Cuphead design in my AU, some people directly or indirectly been telling me to cut cuphead's ""hair"" off his design, I know how much part of the cuphead fandom hates this and I got worried, I been used as joke for some because of this (And I'm not talking about common jokes, I'm talking about mockery) so I got tired not just because of this but I was losing motivation to draw the comic and continue.
I think everyone has the freedom to make redesigns as they want and so do I, "but what was the reason you put hair on cuphead?" Simple, im a ex quest fan and when I was a kid I liked a lot to draw him like that, even tho I don't like quest anymore I still like to make designs like this (I DONT SUPPORT THEGREATROUGE, THATS THE MAIN REASON I QUIT BEING A QUEST FAN), and for now, I don't really mind about it, I have lots of aus that I want to post that he looks more like his original design but I did it with missing ink demons cause cupheads personality reflects in their appearance, He's a charming guy who likes to dress up excessively; he even wears makeup! I didn't remove his main personality, but I added more things to it, and that part of the design reflects that.
And mostly when I saw the votes I tried to make some doodles to see if I could do any other thing to please this audience, But in all of the results, I didn't like them and didn't feel comfortable drawing them.
I felt like I took away a good part of his personality with that change, and I can't simply undo that.
So I'll try to be clear here, I'm not going to change its design, the vote I made was at a moment of despair, I have no plans to change its design "then why did you change the design of Bendy at the beginning of the comic?" I did more because ink demons are a species in my AU, and practically all members of the species are extremely similar. It was also making it difficult for me to draw them, So I switched to the design we know without altering the characters' personalities; in fact, this helped me create designs that reflected their personalities as well.
And to anyone whos been waiting for me to change its design and feel uncomfortable with cuphead having hair/foam, I'm going to politely ask you to either ignore this detail or stop following my comic so I don't have to talk about it again. I recognize that many artists don't like this detail, but I have the freedom to draw it this way, and I don't think forcing artists to change details like this is very nice, I still greatly appreciate other artists who create designs that are different from or similar to the original. I wish no ill will towards any of you, and I hope we can all create our art with joy.
