Yes,that's why I focused on the old portfolios to pull
out some proportion data instead of the comics. The
portfolios are a bit more consistent than the
non-portfolios drawings.

I'll wait for the new style to come out. I had worked
out a preliminary bust number for Natasha, but wanted to
recheck it with the head tall number. But I'll wait and
redo it because 7 heads will change the ribcage porportion
number. Not to mention the torso number.(but I guess I
just did mention it.)

Well, not from this fan; I'm interested in seeing what
you have come up with. Actually, the older styles,
(cartoon-ish, "comic book"), do work quite will with the
Trio. Have you watched the Batman series on KidsWB over
the last 16 years? Batman is all over the place concerning
style. But it works because a character's appeal strength
is not totally based on style, but from the character's
inner self. That's why illustrators and animators are
taught to become the character just like an actor in a
movie becomes the character he or she is playing. You are
taught that a character is not a pencil drawing but a
real living person.
Your characters have that kind of character strength,
and they do have *style*, (pun intended).

Oops. I was referring to Natasha, Onyx, and Lori for
physical size distinguishing features between them
besides their ,eye, nose, and fur color scheme. I know
the heights of each. (I'm ignoring Onyx's earrings.)
My bad.
Does this mean you are restyling your porcupine self?
Hmmm....a more realistic porcupine could mean character
could begin to look like a.....a......human!
de-evolution?
Thanks for all the updates.
