Please choose the most art style you'd like; it's a poll for me to know which is the most appreciated.

============================================================================

Gentlemen, I'm deeply grateful for your unwavering support. Since joining the gaming company, my passion for game development has only intensified. I'm eager to learn and improve every day.

Though I have the will, my skill at connecting the blueprint in Unreal Engine could be more mature. Plus, I need more time, so I can't promise to develop something soon or within a year.

I'm busy with my ramblings. I'm learning to insert a character into Unreal Engine and conducting some tests. However, before I create a specific character, I would greatly appreciate your input on the most suitable art style for an accurate gaming development direction.

Currently, I have several styles in mind, the following are:

   1. Disney-like characters: (To be honest, I don't know the general name of this style, so I'll call it Disney-like.) Like the rabbit and the fox from Zootopia or the princess from the other animated movie. This style might suit a 3D side scroller, dating game, or RPG. However, I need to find out if the engine can handle characters with hair of millions of vertices.

   2. Chibi character: If you need to know what a Chibi is, it's an anime character designed doll-like. Their head is almost as large as their body, and the legs are equivalent to the head's height. This might be the most resource-efficient art style, and the choice of gaming can be more flexible.

   3. Japanese Anime Style: The character's body proportions are similar to those of the other characters from the Lunar Soul or MDLSNGBD. This art style is likely leading to a dating game.

   4. Realistic character: Have you ever played Skyrim before? If the character is feline-based, her appearance is likely the same as that of the cat people in that game. Though I must confess, making a realistic character is tough enough of a challenge, turning into a gaming character will triple the cap, so opening this option is a suicide mission for me. So the outcome will be a dating game with a pre-animated character in 2D form, the visual novel type of gameplay.

I've also designed a rough draft of Chibi's cheetah-based style character. It is not modeled yet, but I can draw more drafts in different styles once I have a clear roadmap. Also, the breed is not limited; I designed her based on my collected poll data. The file is in another article. Please don't mind the reference one. It gives you an idea of how I design character.

And as usual, you can comment if there's more art style I have not mentioned.
