I decided I wanted to draw more than just babies, So here's a small art dump
Baby beans. I decided on making Violet's hair curly, I wasn't satisfied with her hair before. I think she looks better with curly hair
Speaking of curly hair, I also gave Jill curly hair as well
Sk8er boy Johnny. Just vibing until Tank appears out of nowhere
Finally we got lil chibi Mr and Mrs Curious. I've seen people say that Glarn is the strict one because he had emotional issues, but I think it's Kitty
Glarn is pretty playful, while Kitty is serious for the most part. I do see him having emotional issues, especially from after his abduction and divorce. Probably messed with him in that department. I think he seems to have trouble opening up with his feelings. I think overall he tries to be a good dad with his kids(Especially with him giving up Lola and Chloe), but anything that involves feelings he's not good at. So with those he'd say "Go ask your mother about that one"
Kitty however is very emotional. She's a hotheaded woman, and would like to speak to your manager because her son asked for no pickles. Kitty's got claws, you don't wanna mess with her. Not going to lie, I would totally see her bragging about how successful her children are. This woman has four children that were doing well in school, and now in their careers. She had high expectations, her children needed be good at school. They come from a family of scientists, how could they fail. She obviously loves her kids, she just wants them to grow up well and not have any struggles later on in life. So she thinks that being strict can help. It's no wonder that pretty much all of them, except for Lazlo are pretty serious. I think maybe with Lazlo she toned it down a bit. As long as he was doing well in school, it was enough. Also can we talk about Glarn's clothes
They're the cund clothes. I think that Vidcund liked his dad's style, so he started dressing like him during high school. Also he thought it made him look hot, and getting the ladies(Circe)

So, I mentioned previously that Fashion Dreamer represents a significant improvement in the men's fashion over syn Sophia's past games, even if it still seems to be a lower priority compared to the women's. (It is sounding like there are fewer items for them on the whole, and I would not be at all shocked to hear there are fewer items for specific fashion niches than those equivalent niches in the women's fashion, but it is still meaningfully more diverse than what it was before.)
I promised examples.
Unfortunately, I only have one really good screenshot from my own 3DS, because I tend to take pictures of dialogue rather than inviting random characters to pose with me, and of the ones where you can clearly see what a guy is wearing, it's usually a character who's intentionally dressed as a sort of dorky scientist at best, and at worst...
Well, the best picture I have ALSO includes Johann, so you get to see him!
For those not reading the alt text, I feel it's important you know that that jacket of Johann's has TAILS. Also big gold buttons, I didn't note those because they're not really visible at all, and pants with a very gaudy floral pattern. So yeah, he's an Eccentric and Tortured Musician, so he dresses Like That. It's clearly intentional and not representative of the average character in the game (though he also has a student who dresses basically like him, with basically the same Eccentric and Tortured bit, who we see in a side quest.)
Oliver, on the other hand, is pretty much representative of how men in this series dress. He's a model, and as you can see, his default outfit (I checked the Style Boutique wiki to confirm, this is it) is... uh, kind of bland. He's not alone.
(Shout outs to the Style Boutique Wiki, where I got these screenshots.) This is Ricky, shown in his default outfit. (While there technically IS a menswear section in Fashion Forward, it's an extra you can only access from the title screen to dress up NPCs, and very limited. In the summer he'll take that jacket off, but that's it.)
I believe at least one of these outfits of Florian's is user-designed - they're both from Trendsetters, which is the game I've played the least of the four. Either way, not suits! But still not particularly interesting. But okay, maybe it's just that this STYLE is on the bland side? Let's try some others!
(In order: Vincent, Melvin, Ethan Quinn, Jim.)
I swear I didn't go looking for characters who are exclusively wearing T-shirts except Ethan, I am a bit limited in what the wiki has here. But also... yeah. I think Jim might be supposed to be a fan of bold fashion, given the belt and the hair? But you wouldn't know it from looking at the plain black t-shirt. Vincent and Melvin are a bit better - Vincent helps run the live music venue that opens midway through the game, while Melvin is in fact a nerd who doesn't take that much interest in fashion and only shows up to support one of the three central idols of the game, who also happens to be his best friend. Is it unfair to include him, then? No. Because at least his outfit is actually indicative of his character!
(Daisuke, Chad - though I believe he's renamed Brad in the North American release, and MC Mode, two photos. Tarquin, at the bottom, is one of my own screenshots.)
The same hat situation here is a bit amusing, but they were designed for different games and it makes sense to reuse fashion items like that between games - it let them add onto the wardrobe as the series went on, so there were a lot more items with different silhouettes and such by Styling Star. For the women. I think at least a few of these characters got to gain and lose jackets depending on the in-game season, and MC Mode here is a fashionable guy who gets to wear TWO outfits.
And the chic look isn't too bad - both Mode and Ethan wear it, so as you can see, there's definitely some range. I think Vincent might get to wear a leather jacket during the in-game winter, but I couldn't commit to it; I can't remember off-hand if Daisuke loses his jacket in the summer, though I hope not.
But yeah. You'll notice looking at all of these that even the rocker's outfit is a t-shirt and jeans. There ARE slightly more interesting options - those jeans might be distressed, there ARE leather jackets, and there are some pants with excess belts among the men's, I think - but not nearly as much as the women's fashion in the punk rock style. Tarquin's "lab coat" is clearly a suit jacket, and while it makes some sense not to make an entire unique item for one character, this game didn't even have men's fashion. I'm pretty sure they just used an existing suit jacket from Trendsetters. On the other hand, at least THAT ONE is reflective of his character. Daisuke's outfit is the closest the games come to athletic wear until Fashion Dreamer.
The characters in the later two games in particular were REALLY fun. There's a reason why I didn't have many screenshots just showing a male character facing forward, and none without dialogue - I actually really enjoy the writing here. Ethan wants to conquer the world with music, and multiple characters comment that this makes him sound like a supervillain. Tarquin is an endearing nerd who has a bunch of cute comments about all the items you bring in to make fashion items from. Florian likes bad puns.
But their outfits don't really tell you much about their personalities, where the female characters all do.

sorry to ask you again but I'm really curious about yuki's behavior in front of aurelius, when they're supposed to not be together anymore, I was curious when I saw the 2 comic pages you drew.
could you explain why such behavior to the point of taking aurelius' cape and putting it on her while she is completely naked?
ah sry!! i didnt know how to answer ur previous question since it was pretty vague -w-;;
the place they're staying in ("her domain") is at a bathhouse, a place for relaxation n pleasure (sexual n non-sexual). her being naked isn't rlly an issue in itself since she works there (if anything, she's naked more often than not n aurelius knows that)
other than that, the most i can say is that uhhhhh she still likes him a lot aaannd she can unintentionally overstep boundaries like that
