The origionality theory... Anonymous
Is it true? When anime artists run out of ways to make different looking characters they maim or scar them in some way?

I know with Kosuke Fujishima (Of A!MG and You're Under Arrest fame) he more or less uses same designs, but just slightly alters them. Even if he does just character designs, they are all pretty much the same as other stuff

Sounds pretty logical

Some character designers just use a couple of character types and base all their characters on them. Not only scars and amputees are features that stand out, but any special outfit, unique hairstyle and such stuff can be used to make characters look different.

Facial expressions are also important. A good artist can draw two characters exactly alike but make their expressions so different that you can instantly tell which one it is.

In the end, it all comes down to the artist's character design skill wheter one can design lots of different characters or not. Then again, even if you can design hundreds of different characters, it ain't gonna save you if your drawing sucks otherwise and your story's shit.

Trying to find original character designs is like trying to find new/original animes.... there really are no more, and/or they suck.
