i'm not sure how making everyone look like they have a metal rod in their back is supposed to be helpful??????????

i mean i hate to sound like Every Retard Ever but,

literally with /almost/ every one of your crits, my opinion is the same: there's no reason to make something look 1000000% realistic unless you're taking a photograph, there should always be some room for stylistic distortion to whatever you're working on

the balance comment was a legitimate thing and i've been trying to make these guys more balanced but when you try to remove the """""""line of action""""""" from everything, it also removes a lot of the personality

... yeah, i destroyed part of the lines of action in that edit by trying to give them stability.
there's only one answer to this: a compromise. create a line of action which takes into account gravity/stability whilst leaving room for "stylistic distortion". think of creating a line which creates an arc, the straight side more or less at 90° from the ground (max 20° leeway imo). idk if you've made sculptures, but gravity/ and the according stability given in the line of action are fundamental. i've revised my edit to try and better illustrate what I'm saying:

i hope this is better than the last edit.
