I no longer understand having a rigid and absolutist interpretation of character design, now that I've grown up a bit. I used to have the extremely granular character sheet, where the stripes had an exact number for each body part and the character needed to be on model at all times, and I just...don't care anymore.
Couldn't imagine having a character now that couldn't be translated to the circumstance and style of the piece. As long as the core design is there, the soul of the character--and for any artist who cares at all, it will be.
