tried to draw a comparison between how i draw Door 1 and The Final Door Mell. sorry, prepare for a yapfest. i dont know why my Mell and Morgana brainrot is going off the charts recently LOL...
DOOR 1: I draw him more proper / well-kempt and...ironically, confident and prideful. In the beginning of Door 1, he *seems* to hold himself up quite well and I wanted to make that clear in his design. He raises his head up high but is still very awkward LOL. He has a very princely look and presents himself as mature, ambitious, and "charismatic". Although he looks like a normal, sociable noble - he still is very reserved, similar to The Final Door Mell design-wise. I draw his hair more sharp and spiky? It shapes his face very cleanly, if that makes sense. He just feels more angular and rigid in comparison but - his softest feature is definitely the slight smile but that is more elevated in TFD Mell.
FINAL DOOR: Uhmm, definitely a less proper look LOL. I made him look a bit more shabby and loose. It's a more fun and soft look. He probably looks more worried and awkward than Door 1 Mell, which I mean, both are already in that category LMFAO. Final Door Mell slumps more and doesnt really raise his head often in my depictions. He is a bit more reserved and cowardly in his stance. His hair is more messy and fluffy, kinda just curls around his face instead of neatly shaping it. Not sure how to describe it but I make his facial structure more round and soft - kinda squishy LOL, compared to the more rigid and angular look of Door 1 Mell.
(another back to back comparison...might do this with the other characters, unsure...)
