I actually went ahead and fixed the smile, because it was a little too wide for his face. Hope I didn't kill off too much of the smarm??

I wasn't originally intending to post this WIP but I'm doing it for the little notification in the corner that got captured which can totally not be taken out of context or anything

Oh man, I liked where her eyebrows were going in the WIP and now they're really hard to make out. The high-contrast, theatrical shading is a cool touch but I wish it didn't obscure her eyebrows so much.

Because there isn't an Illiana piece in color except for tiny sprites, I took a few liberties with the design. I've been thinking a lot about interesting character design, and I think a lot about how a lot of designs don't have little skin "blemishes" like acne scars or birthmarks. I understand this might be a controversial and unwanted creative liberty, so I also prepared a different version without the scars, let me know what yall think

I like this! I'll reiterate what I said on skype, I think the acne-scar effect you're going for is well done, but I don't feel like it's fitting for Illiana specifically. I would have put it on someone like Carlos, Ben, Deandre, Almudena, not to stereotype teenagers as having acne but it feels like it would be more fitting for them.
What I am living for is that, and this is the first I've mentioned it so far, I've been having a real issue with the noses in this art style. For me, the shape and sizes have just been slightly off. The nose on Retro-Age!Hector looks too big to me, as does Helen's, while the Yoshimitsu piece makes his nose upturned in a way that doesn't seem to fit the rest of the face. In this, you've got it perfected, it looks to me. It's proportioned to the other features of the face and my eyes aren't immediately drawn to it.
The hair style is great, it's a great shade of green, can't fault it because Illiana does keep her hair quite trendy. You've got the honestly-friendly aspect of her personality through her expression, she looks like someone who is approachable and nice to talk to.
The two big hang-ups I have are that top. You've got the over-the-shoulder thing that Illiana keeps as a standard in her outfit, but the issues I'm having are:
The shade of purple. It's a lot darker than I would have envisioned, I would have chosen a lilac colour, but that might be the background making it come across as darker.
I can't tell what kind of top this is - the neckline and thicker lines on the creases are giving me an oversized jumper, rather than casual top. It's just a personal thing, though. I'm just super nit-picky because it's my character.
Overall, though, it's an 8/10 from me.

WIP SKETCH DUMP WARNING who the fuck is this pastel goth dork I was playing around with the idea of exodus ORP character sticker sheets, where it would be like: two chibified versions of the character, and a couple smaller stickers of little objects associated with the character so of course I started with an Ivan sticker sheet with a little bubbler sticker and a saturn and a staff just a pudgy stoner space dork nbd

I love the idea of Exodus stickers. I just want a Sly sticker sheet so I can randomly put a Sly sticker on Bulb's forehead or put a Beebomb sticker on a super ball and pelt him with it.

I'd say that's actually a fairly accurate Nopcsa. I don't see him as having a cleft chin, since it's a bit too manly for him, but you actually got him "ugly" in the right way- Which is to say, pretty decent looking beneath it all, but smug and deliberately abrasive to the point where people are repelled by how he acts.
(He doesn't canonically have a scar over his eye, but considering his run ins with Prime, and Giguere, and Ender, aaand... Well, it's quite possibly a thing.)

UPDATE WIP: I didn't want to just redraw the bob-omb shirt, so I did something a bit different. He seems like a Memphis Group graphic design kinda guy.
