I'm a Japanese creator making a bio-punk hentai manga.This is my original character, "Altana-chan." Looking for some feedback!The image I've attached is a page from the draft I'm currently working on!Do you think the international community will embrace this when it's released? I'd love to know if you think it has global appeal.
いい順調ですね。けどまあ、どんなリアクションが返ってくるのかあまり分かりませんねえ。頑張ってください。
>>8801396People's tastes are greatly varied, so I wouldn't say there's a "global appeal" to aim for.If you keep it too generic in an attempt to appeal to as many people as possible, you risk it being too bland to really appeal to anybody. On the other hand, if you go to specific into any given niche, you drastically narrow down the potential audience. (Though some artists find their success in carving out very specific niches, that's not your stated goal here).So, though I am completely unqualified to be speaking on anything artistic, I think the goal would be to strike a good balance. Try to find ways to make it unique, to make it stand out, to make it stick in people's minds, all without hitting on designs/topics/fetishes that would turn away large swathes of potential audience.As for what you have shown here, I think you did a great job with the character's expression. I believe that expressions are extremely important, yet often overlooked. This medium allows for characters to display more emotion than what a real person could with just their face. The skill to capture those emotions and put them to paper, while matching the intensity to what is appropriate for that point in the story, is a skill that I personally value.As for my opinion on the overall design, I would need to see more. Always love a good kemonomimi, and the hairstyle is cute. As long as the anatomy isn't too weird, especially in the genitals, I think it's good. (A pet peeve of mine is when the genitals are totally wrong, like being positioned way out of place, or the vagina being drawn as one big hole. Similarly, I dislike when the shape of the breasts is unnatural or unsightly).
