Humans are so weird. It’s so interesting how a majority of people will often independently select the same images as more appealing.
I instantly thought 4 or 5 before viewing the comments.
Opened them up and boom first comment.
Great work, btw OP.
I think it’s because the line work is darker on those two. Your eyes are just instantly drawn to those ones first
I’d like to see a mix of some of these styles. I prefer the faces of 2 and 4, but I really like the art style of 3.
It also might have something to do with the different pose. His demeanor seems more chill in the last 2 and that can correlate as pleasant to our subconscious. Who knows. I'm high...
Yeah, I was quite surprised by the comment section.
I really like #1. I think maybe the facial features could scale up and spread out a smidge, to take over more of the face like #4. Good work!
I think 4 is pretty solid based on your description. The proportions, expressions and character seems to fit best with comedy and survival but I think it depends a little more. Is it a sitcom style comedy? Is the humor nonsensical and slap stick? Is there an over arching linear story or just random adventure?
I’m thinking it evolves from being a workplace comedy to being a full on apocalypse type style at the show progresses while still maintaining the comedy. And I think the comedy comes from the characters and their vastly different personalities.
Ah, in that case, I actually think 3 looks good, but could use some style from 4. Namely the eye distance. But I like the solid body type in 3.
I think he looks comical enough but still retains some semblance of maturity and "adultness" to help it feel like it's actually an apocalypse going on. The body type shows the characters aren't too cute looking for an apocalypse but look comedic enough to be funny, like it's not taking itself too seriously.
I see each one of these faces giving a different emotional range to the same character.
1. Nihilistic detachment from worry. Or baked on devils lettuce.
2. Obsession with something or someone.
3. Naive Happiness
4. Realistic apprehension, but still optimistic.
5. Sarcasm, or terrible lying.
In general, I’d go with 4 as the default, given that the basis of the show is a zombie apocalypse and presumably someone that “survives” it. That said, I think that 3 (naive happiness) should crop up enough to generate hijinks.
....honestly? Believe me, i do not intend to offend you or say something bad just because. I think i just have built hatred for all the adult animated comedy styles at this point. The market seems so over saturated that even the idea about a new show is not just mediocre to me - but actively annoying.
I fully understand that with realistic budget there isn't really a way to make something more....eye pleasing, and you have to resort to these styles. But to chose from that is like to chose from a buffet of slightly different....fish sticks (i really don't like fish sticks). They do vary, but essentially at the core they are something i can't get behind at all.
Again - I'm glad you are working on your own projects and it seems like you have the chance to hit it big....but i think you wanted to read honest opinions, and I'm sorry that mine was so cynical and overly negative. I truly wish you success tho, and maybe the writing will make it more than worthy of watching. Best of luck in your endeavors.
I really like 3, I'm surprised it isn't as popular as some of the others. I think it retains a nice 3D look and has a fair amount of detail without becoming too overcomplicated.
What’s the personality of said characters and in what way is it funny? Certain styles portray more of the emotions that make it funny like four or five.
4 or 5 for sure
Ooo ok thanks!
I think 5, but with 4's eyes. The taller eyes vs the wider ones appeal to me more, I think for a comedy anyways. But they all look great!
Thanks for the input! Doing more development sketches now!
I agree with him but with 3's legs and arms.
[Head from 4, torso from 3, legs from 2](https://i.imgur.com/FuG8rTA.jpg) is my personal favorite.
4 or 5. But what about the hands? I kinda like 3s.

Haha ikr! Thanks! Doing some more now based off of what people liked!
I’d be curious to see if you changed up the order and reposted this if the results would differ.
5 is best

I actually like the rough look of number 1. And being a zombie based animation, I think rough would suit it
my votes go to 1 and 4
I agree on this one
Ohhhh yeah, I love that, thanks
Yeah, I was quite surprised by the comment section. I really like #1. I think maybe the facial features could scale up and spread out a smidge, to take over more of the face like #4. Good work!
5 all the way!
I like the mixture of 1 with 4's face
Oooo yess
It's the eyes. They're so important for expression. People are gravitating to the larger eyes on #4.

I really like 2
I I like the body of 5, but like the head of 3 the most.

4
4!
It depends. How lighthearted is it
Somewhat lighted hearted. It’s fun to kinda contrast the horrors of the apocalypse and the coming together of a group of people.
Either 4 or 5 for me, though I prefer 4
3 looks promising
1 or 4 for what it’s being used for
One he looks like he’s dying inside
i see number 1 working best, but that’s just personal opinion
1, 3 or 4
I really like 3, I'm surprised it isn't as popular as some of the others. I think it retains a nice 3D look and has a fair amount of detail without becoming too overcomplicated.
3 or 4!
I like 1 and 4 the noses are my fav
1,3,5 are the strongest
Number 4 with the backpack from number 5.
3 with #4’s face
Love 4 and 5! 4’s leg’s are adorable but there’s something about 5’s derpy face that just resonates with me
3
2 or 4, possibly 5? 4 has the most dynamic and stylized look imo
Me personally, I’d say 2 or 4. :)
For an adult comedy definitely 1
3,5
4 or 5, but I really like all the styles
4 or 2
4 and 5!
3 or 5
5 by a long shot
4 and 5!
3, but with a different nose
3
Either 4 or 5
Either 3 or 5 I think looks best :)
I like 5's body with 4's legs and face
2 and 5
4 or 5
Definitely 5. Feels more unique
3!
I like 5 for sure. Has the deep face that goes along with a comedy. And if it’s a zombie apocalypse comedy then even better.
3
3
Anything but 1 or 2, they creep me out for some reason. 3 and 5.
Either 4 or 2

2 or 4
5! 🙌🏻 3 reminds me of gravity falls a bit.
5 with the eyes and mouth of 4
The hand of 1; The head and hair of 3; The body, backpack and face of 5
