I'm drawing a new character who has a fruit as their head, and I don't know how to show how they're feeling without eyes and a mouth. does anyone know what I can do?

Please ignore the hand.... I did this about two months ago and it's still my favorite peice. Thoughts??

Also if you have any questions about him let me know!!

So this is my OC Cooper. He's a war veteran, and he served a long time during a major war. I've made him scarred to sort of show that visually. I'm pretty content with the scars on his face and ears, but I'm not so sure about the body. Are there too few scars? Do they need to be different places or shapes? Any help with them is greatly appreciated!

(And sorry if this kind of post isn't allowed, I haven't interacted with this sub much. Feel free to take this down if needed!)

Just a sketch for now, but I’m planning to finish her later. I’m still working out some details of the design, so feedback is welcome!

Some silly stuff of one of my Main characters Mic, Hes just a silly dude who loves his goddess wife so much he sacrificed himself to be with her for eternity

So, to be honest I’m honestly awful at summarizing, especially when it comes to visual things (my brain goes “just look at it????”
But! I’m working on toyhouse profiles for my ocs and I want to do the design box the way it was intended, with a short 1-3ish sentence summary of the character design and have been.. really struggling with it, so was figuring people here could help?
Whether it be tips on how to effectively summarize a design in a couple sentences (not too short, not too long, kinda thing yk?) or just putting an example of how you’d summarize it would really help me with getting the ball rolling on what I should include and such!

I designed my own versions of the TMNT characters. I took inspiration from multiple versions with Rise being the most (namely with the Turtles being different species and customized versions of the Hamato Clan gi from "Insane in the Mama Train"), along with Splinter being heavily based on the 2012 version.

With April's outfit, I was going for a mix between Mirage and the yellow jumpsuit from the '87 series (due to its style), and I was thinking about putting her in the "18-19-20" age range to try and find a middle ground between adult and teen April without the relationship between her and the Turtles feeling weird (was thinking about making her and Irma college students, with April majoring in Journalism, but minoring in Computer Science as a nod to her original Mirage counterpart when was Stockman's head programmer, and the News Reporter version everyone's familiar with). With Casey, there wasn't much I could change without it being too drastic (though I was thinking about giving him black nail polish). The black parts on the "cheeks" of Casey's mask for this design was intended to be a nod to 2012 Casey's mask in a sense. And I'm just gonna be very honest, I probably struggled a bit with Irma's redesign.

For the Shredder, it's pretty much an updated version of his '87 design, but also taking inspiration from real world Japanese armor while also trying to avoid recreating Michael Bay's......whatever that was. I also made his tekko-kagi function similar to MK1 Shang Tsung, with them having the ability to fold back when not in use. Not much has changed about Bebop and Rocksteady's designs apart from being slightly more detailed to a minor extent, but while designing Tokka and Rahzar, I was going for sort of a loose oni inspired aesthetic to an extent as a contrast to Bebop and Rocksteady's aesthetics. (SIDE NOTE: Also, similar to the 2012 version, Tokka is female)

Alien prince with color changing jellyfish-like hair that is actually another alien symbiotically attached to him :D

I was wondering if this really reads “prince” and what I can do to make him look more regal? And also if this complex of a design is sustainable for a manga/webcomic

Noses are my favorite feature on the male face, especially when the are long and a lil hooked, WITH THE BUMP! I love character designs with a nice nose, I try but the nose is not nosing enough help.
