#a skinnier-jumpy-and silly character can still be considered masculine or valiant

Aaauufghh

So I feel bad about infodumping all at once about the weird things I noticed; but I do want to say this so I don’t sound like an idiot compared to everything else I post about

Okayyyy, so you may have noticed when I started picking through the deep-internet info and trailers on Don Bluth’s previous attempt to reboot the series that Dirk without his chainmail looked like this

Whicchhh is kindof like a mix between a bob a short-cut and mullet sort of. But also the 80’s movie started looking like this

That looks nothing like him, idk who that man is

To which my art looked more consistently like this

So, what am I doing exactly? Am I ignorant? Am I going against the flow for the fun of it?

If you listened to anything relating to the scrapped movies or anything I said about it, you would know that the movie plots center more around adding in typical kingdom drama (like making Dirk a lost prince-and making Dirk and Daphne grow up like siblings but then turn around and say they were supposed to get married at 6) and doesn’t actually explain game canon and rather retcons and complicates it 🤷

So either way we say it’s not canon!

But at the same time; other media like the comics sort of do the same thing I do

In the comics, it shows Chad Dirk having a shorter cut, likely more suitable when wearing chainmail; but somehow retconning the canon style by designing the front a lot shorter like it’s singed for some reason????

But at the same time he has a brief cameo in the Space Ace series and they somehow made it look more accurate

Anyways, my final point is to rather trust the main series rather than anything Don Bluth or anyone else gets to excited about and runs off with, because I based mine around the three frames that allow you to actually see it

Okay. That’s it. Hope this gave you useful knowledge or some kind of drawing tip.

Thank you for listening to my nonsense. Bye now ✌️
