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& #39;t remember.

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& #39;s just the eye/hair color and style. He& #39;s notorious for sameface, but there& #39;s a reason for that--he outright said he doesn& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s valid. He& #39;s valid
