They didn't much like it. In fact, they asked for the characters to be "less grotesque". And here they are:



I still like the look of my original characters better, the newer ones look a little too generic to me, but I'm working for a very fickle Japanese market, and they apparently like their cuteness.

Actually, I like girl #1 and baby #2, so I guess I'm pretty fickle too.
