🧝‍♀️ TREE 672: Consider not doing pointy ears

TREEpeat 64

If you are drawing an elf (or other fantasy character), you give it pointy ears. That’s what everybody does. But it’s just convention. There’s no rule. Elf ears are not like unicorn horns.

Sometimes pointy ears are a lazy shortcut.

Next time you are creating characters for your fantasy comic, consider not giving them pointy ears.

Every genre of art,
every literary form,
every style of music,
every sector of business
has the equivalent of pointy ears.

If you are striving for originality, maybe ditch the pointy ears.

I wasn’t happy with my Monday witch. The cauldron had more energy than she did. So I redrew her. And, yes, I used every witch shortcut I could think of because I was not striving for originality. (I think she goes bowling with the coven on a Thursday.)

All the good short band names are taken, so this one is called We Don’t Ride Llamas. The song is excellent.
