Answering My Own Height Questions
*I want to apologize for everyone being untextured, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to load the textures in Blender. Besides, this should make it easier to see anyway.
While I was poking around, I decided to go ahead and definitively answer my question from a while back about how tall DJSS is.
At a quick glance, the undisputable answer appears to be that he's shorter than Tatiana, but taller than Neon J... barely.
This doesn't consider the thickness of his helmet (unless you think the helmet is his head), but even so, this difference is so small, that it's easier to say that they're about the same height.
BUT
As we know from the Christmas DLC, DJSS's feet do not sink completely into the soles of his shoes.
So adjusting for where his feet would actually touch the ground, DJSS is actually shorter than Neon J. by a good couple of inches, but still taller than Mayday.
(Not that it really matters in fanart, since they're usually wearing their default outfits anyway, so even pointing this out is basically null~)
I also wanted to check Eve against the others, and with heels she's still shorter than NJ and DJSS.
This shot was taken before I adjusted for shoe height for DJSS/Eve, but with adjustments, DJSS is still just a little taller than Eve (it's about the same difference as Neon J. vs. DJSS with shoes).
So, I've a got a win for short!DJSS, but a loss for 2nd tallest!Eve, UmU. (Tatiana is the tallest member of NSR, not counting *Sayu, who I consider a special case.)
*Sayu is in scale to her B2J battle, meaning she's a giant compared to everyone else, so I didn't include her.
And of course I had to do B2J, Kliff, and Tatiana for my own amusement.
I didn't order them by height this time, but the grid guide should suffice. It's a little hard to say if Kliff or Zuke is actually taller since their hair is so dense, but considering that Kliff also wears shoes with a heel, I'm gonna err on Kliff being *just* a hair shorter than Zuke, but they're really about the same. However, Tatiana is actually about a whole head taller than Kliff putting him at perfect motorboating height.
I wanted to check the sewer gang too, but their models are not created equal, and I don't think they're in scale with each other.
Maybe it's just me, or because he's asserting dominance, but Zam seems bigger than he should be, and Gigi/Yiruk look a little smaller than they should be. Robot could be to scale, but I think he looks a little big too.
As my final bonus, I wanted to compare Yinu and 1010 to see how accurate my "Heart and Soul" sketch would have been and...
Nope. Handholding is basically impossible for them. At best, Yinu might be able to grab one of his fingers, but it'd be straining to do so unless he hunched over. So, it'd be even more impossible in my fic where she's younger and presumably even shorter, and the MKI is implied to be bigger and bulkier.

Some more of my favorite merman <3
Nachti is an OC I created back in 2012, 2012 was a good year for OCs for me. He and Nathan grew very close to me and I can't believe both of them are over 10 years old already.
Nachti has several doll forms, I never had thought that I will have him as full merman doll. No, I got a tiny mermaid to be turned into him because I never thought I would have him.
But then i decided I will try to make my own variant. Merman dolls were rare, there was 2 companies offering them and both were out of league regarding their prices and Nachti doesn't have ... scales. That was another problem.
I am still very proud how he turned out.

Do you think it’s a deliberate design choice for the NSR game creators to make Kliff look… generic? (Everyone else on the game looks colorful but he… looks… normal)
In my opinion, absolutely.
I agree that Kliff looks fairly 'normal' compared to everyone else in the cast but at the same time he looks like a generic NPC. Just there to be a helping hand and give you some tips and tricks, nothing more.
He looks like the part he wants to fit for B2J: just a helping hand. Nobody that they need to spend time worrying about or looking at any further. He helps them, they run off, and they get done what he can't without another thought as to why he's telling them to do it.
During my playthrough of the game I forgot about Kliff entirely until he spoke again while I was entering a district. If he was more ~interesting to look at~ I likely wouldn't have forgotten he's there. And at the same time him being the villain worked great for me because I completely forgot he was there.
I was a little bit suspicious of him at first because... how did he get May's phone number but then he was just in the background. I figured he'd stay as unimportant to the story as Zam or Gigi were. Once my guard let down about him and he seemed relatively harmless outside of the occasional "how the hell do you have that information about the Charters? is that public info???" I disregarded him entirely. Which is good.
So yes, I like to think that Kliff was incredibly intentional in his design because it fits exactly what he wants to do: not be paid attention to by anyone other than her.
(And a fun addition I just realized: Kliff's hair is red. Kul Fyra's motif is fire. "Hair red as fire"? Yeah, haha.)

Birthday gift I drew for my friend, Cross. Grandpa got a little excited during the cake cutting but that's why we love him.
