Reminder that the Emubi option means that instead of hiring a secondary artist who can perform the full workflow of creating artwork, Emubi will himself hire an assisstant he was worked with in the past to outsource parts of his workflow. This means more consistency in the art but since it's only a part that he gives to an assisstant, it also limits the maximum speedup. For a full list of pros and cons, check the above link.

While there's no denying that Emubi is the best of the bunch, just going with him again would kind of defeat the whole point of this. So yeah, my vote goes for Ian. There's some parts that could be improved, but think of how the current art process goes, first there's a rough sketch for basic idea to which changes or adjustments can be easily suggested to, then flat color version, then shading... I really believe that parts that people have problem with in Ian's piece (like how Charlotte has noticeable breasts rather than being flat) would be smoothed out during the usual process.
Don't know. Out of the pull I like Emubi. I can't help but agree with "Fake Name" that we need alternative artist in case Emubi dissapears -_-
Yeah that was kind of the plan of this :'D
The HokiArt seems like the best option. The Emubi assistant route doesn't give an alternative artist in case Emubi dissapears.
For now, ianmorpol or emubi's assistant. Ianmorpol's face can be repaired/ edited easily. As for hokiart it's a bit far from emubi's style
I choose ianmorpol because while the face looks very much like a combination of original Charlotte and roya aura I think that is easily fixed detail and the portfolio displayed alot of different styles. He flexed a little bit on the clothing trying to keep it like the original compared to emubi who simplified the clothing(actually think simplifying the clothing will help with posing and consistency between the artist.) Also ianmorpol will probably have to make the brest smaller as both other submissions presented Charlotte as a cutting board.
They also missed coloring a button on her right side
Ianmorpol has somehow given her Auras face, which is reall weird...
Only complaint I have with any of them is the face on Ian's version, can't really put my finger on it, maybe the head is slightly too large. The rest of it is nice though. But I don't really mind any of them, whatever keeps the project running smoothly.
In my view, all three options are bad. At hokiart, the portfolio is too small, so that it is not foreseeable whether he can manage the workflow. Ianmorpol, on the other hand, in my view, did not really manage the required copy. Especially the face is clearly different. An assistant is nice and speeds things up, but in far that bears fruit...
