Oh man, thanks a lot! At first I was overthinking the style for character art then I sat down and told myself to just go with it and the concept would find a style itself. It's really worked so far, and it's really killed some of the free time I've been wasting thinking too hard on things haha.
And I did try to tamper with contour line colors a bit. Thanks for throwing the term at me! I've always seen it and even done it myself messing around from time to time but... Never knew a word for it lol.
I also wanted to note that I've stumbled on your devlog. Your idea looks fantastic! Very interesting~
