This artistic troper usually doesn't have too much of a problem with this, except for one my characters, Em the doll, who never has the same proportions twice...

This troper (aka philipnova798), knows the fine line between staying consistent and being off model. That said, it happens a lot. While staying mostly consistant, problems with Paul's (A crustacean) head spikes and claws, Dogged nice guy (or Deadpan snarker, depending on his mood) Peter's (a swordfish) nose and Potty and Audrey Jr.'s (Plants) Chin placements (Potty has an overbite, Audrey Jr. has an underbite, which tend to switch fairly often) occur fairly often. Other minor things include Haley's hair length and eyes, The Pac-ghosts (known as the Ghost Mafia) heights, Spybot's head when viewed from different angles along with other minor details like proportions, head shapes, line thickness and hand positions. Also parodied with with a character known as Gus, who's basically a walking, talking mistake. Did I mention that this series takes place in a (Fictional) town in Arizona with a Lion for a mayor? It's also worth pointing out that the off model effect was worse when the characters were first made (No one looked the same twice... at all. For instance; Peter would had thin limbs, thick nose and large in one panel and in the next panel, a smaller head, a shorter & stubbier nose and proportions that would make even the worse artists cry in pain, hence the idea of Gus)

I myself give not a damn about drawing consistently, as I tend to just exaggerate everything I draw to infinity and beyond.

I have never intentionally drawn OffModel, except maybe when I was a really really young artist and used cartoonier styles to take it easy on myself, but holy crap does my older stuff ''look'' it. I still struggle with getting anatomy right and sometimes suffer from my ignorance regarding how to translate references into my artistic language.

Since my childhood, I have always wondered how artists manage to draw their characters so consistently. I could never. Over the years, my characters have gone through an incredible ArtEvolution as my skills sharpened, so by now, they tend to look "on-model" on most pictures. But not having settled down on one particular drawing style, I sometimes switch over to a drastically different style than my previous drawings (especially if going for a certain theme), which results in the characters looking off-model a lot. But one has to ask: if I didn't create any "official" character models in the first place, can anything really be off-model?

I can draw everything pretty consistently...except HAIR. I will fill entire pages with drawings of a character's hair because it's never the same thing twice.
