Before I take a nap, an Amano story
Amano held a panel where he drew at my local convention where he took requests. Every single character he was asked to draw he said he didn't remember.
He said his process is to quickly scribble a face and focus on the clothes.

He said his process is to quickly scribble a face and focus on the clothes.
This man said it takes him less than ten minutes to design a *character*, since it's just the eye/hair color and style. He's notorious for sameface, but there's a reason for that--he outright said he doesn't care about how a character looks, he cares about their clothes.
He was talking about this while drawing Sephiroth. It took him like a minute to draw his face, then he spent half an hour loading him with completely frivolous clothing detail. He put like 50 bracelets on him and said "I don't even remember if this character has bracelets."
This man is living his ultimate truth, and that truth is quickly scribbling a character so he can burden them with twenty thousand different fabrics and enough jewelry to make it difficult for someone to move. It's valid. He's valid
