Things are busy these days. I have multiple little projects to mess with. I'll try to put more time into this when I can.
I'm honestly overextending myself.

I can't help but feel like I may have stepped on some toes by trying the cartoon face thing. I apologize if that's the case. Far be it from me to barge in on this project, throwing my weight around. I'll wait and see on this. Like you said, it is hard work. And if any hard work is done, it should be...

I've updated the gif(s).
I'm close to finishing the first release and I've outlined my plans for more releases.

I encountered a weird problem. I started working on some female pieces. I have one pair of eyes so far. However, when I generate a female face, sometimes there are no eyes. It should just always give me the one pair. I imagine that it will fix itself if I have multiple eyes, which I'm about to test....

I updated the gif with new assets. I added three accessories, redid head shapes, more lips, started making new hair. Hair and eyes I think are what I need to make the most of to make characters seem the most varied. Those stand out. I'll try to add more things tomorrow. Hopefully enough so it works ...

Because of the way I'm doing things, I'll have to have separate art for different skin colors. And I think that'd be good, because I can use race-specific facial features to make character gen more coherent.
I'll go for White - Asian - Black
That is if I have the perseverance to finish ;)

Thanks for the feedback! I redid the head shapes. Lines are still thick, but at least it's consistent with the rest of the pieces. Also redoing hair. My first milestone will be to complete the caucasian male parts, and a handful of clothing options. Then I might upload what I have. Female would be i...

I accidentally used the wrong thickness (too thick) on the head parts and the hair. I used greater care with the thickness on the facial features. I may try redoing the head parts and hair because of that mistake.
If the head shape and hair had better lines I think it would look better.

I thought about trying a painterly look as well. But like you said, it takes a while per part. Plus, it makes it tougher to make the pieces match up. Gotta do clothing, accessories, female, other races... lotsa work. Even as thrown-together as the existing assets are, I still have to give kudos for ...

Hey, first time posting here. I found out about this game recently, so I tried it. The first thing I found was that the faces were butt-fugly. That may leave a bad first impression on players. I looked in the files and saw that the face generator is pretty easy to mess with. So I started drawing up ...
