Patron Decided Romance - Design Poll (Minor Spoilers)
🕑 Added 2024-07-19 04:43:38 +0000 UTCIt's been a while since we last had a vote about Rowan, the romanceable character we've been listening to you, our supporters, to help design! If you're new to the character you can catch up on previous feedback posts in this collection!
With Rowan's transformed design previously selected, we're now looking to decide Rowan's human form. Wat has whipped up three pieces of concept art to choose from below:
Which design do you like best for Rowan's human form?

The war has taken a toll and aged Rowan beyond his years, despite being only a few years older than Malcolm. Rowan wears facial hair to help hide some of the scars.
Once we have your input, we'll know which design to start refining for the next story line of Changeling Tale! Be sure to cast your vote, and if you have any questions or feedback let us know in the comments or on Discord!

Hah, you're right! I see the resemblance!
Some Foxy
Holy shit, its Adrian Carton de Wiart! :D
ComicTF
The subliminal approach of standing on a hilltop with a bullhorn.

I just want him to look like a sea captain! YOU HAVE NESSY THERE DAMNIT! EASY TO JOKE ABOUT THOSE TWO LIZARD BRAINS LIKE THAT! I mean, knowing wat, easy image of a joke pairing of them in their scale female forms. :P
Little Napoleon
Making sure the design looks like the correct age will be important to us as we refine Rowan's look and color the sprite in-- we'll work on it!
H3M
I like the idea of losing masculine hair during the TF into a dragoness.
Little Napoleon
Very true! Although for recognizability, we'll probably stick with one facial hair format, and just remove the injuries/eyepatch if we do flashbacks to the early war.
Little Napoleon
Good point!
Little Napoleon
What do you like about C over the others?
Little Napoleon
The subliminal messaging worked!
Little Napoleon
Looks like folks might be biased, haha!
Little Napoleon
Hey, C could still make an amazing come-from-behind victory!
Little Napoleon
We'll work on refining the design now that we know which direction to head in, including clothes and headgear!
Little Napoleon
Looks like a lot of folks agree with you!
Little Napoleon
Are you suggesting that option C is "la li lu fae lo?" :P
Little Napoleon
Yeah, I know you're a big fan of option 4!
ComicTF
Honestly, yeah. That does sound cool.
SilverFangBlackWing
I like A and C. B looks too old for this character.
affie-beck-lauder
A seems likely, simply because of how much people know it from the fanarts. I think that design is good, but works best when Rowan is more settled and trying to clean himself up. Still a broken man, but trying to show himself as someone who can face tomorrow. C is otherwise what I think works for him otherwise. Because it shows a man who is lost to himself and what happened. I know it isn't likely to be picked, but I think C works as a flashback to at least before he comes to meet his lost army buddy. B fits best before the war. More so since that IS the army issue mo on display there, that was not just the style, but the REQUIRED style all men are expected to wear if they are part of that mans army defending King and country! Well...at least until the gas attack, that is.
Madcap Burlon
Mustache is best. Rowan hiding his face as a man and then suddenly being without an option to hide it later as a girl is a neat concept for him to deal with.
H3M
I needed to shake things up and go with C
ComicTF
Yessss. My evil plans are working
ComicTF
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!
OmniOtter
Welp, this one is basically decided already. XD
Val Salia
This one just might be a tiny little notclose
Endark Culi
There are parts about the middle design that I do like, such as the hat and shirt collar, but Option A is my favourite due to those glorious mutton chops.
Xilryu
Option A for me!
Nocturn3
Hands down, im going with A. Thanks to ComicTFs comics, its kinda hard to see him look any other way. That and its kinda close to their post tf design if at least hair wise. B looks a bit too much like Owen and C reminds me too much of like Malcolm but going full big boss mode
Wat
Definitely not biased in my pick! :V
