Have you ever felt a disconnect while designing a character? It’s often easy to create visually stunning figures, but the real magic lies in their appeal. Think of Layla from "Vampire Hunter D"—her design resonates with a depth that goes beyond mere aesthetics.

What drives them? Infuse real emotions into their expressions—fear, joy, sadness; these traits are what hook your audience. Finally, consider how your character mirrors experiences or struggles that others can relate to. What techniques do you use to make your characters truly resonate?
