Charlotte’s design is one of my most popular. Maybe it’s just because she’s a FNAF character redrawn as a pretty lady, but regardless, she’s fun to draw, especially with her lack of bones. She gained more humanlike and mature proportions as her design developed, but she was actually originally meant to veer into the uncanny valley. Much like the Marionette she was based on, she was meant to look “Creepy but kind of endearing”, but judging by people’s reactions, my artstyle only captured the second half of that. Her mask is actually meant to lack a nose, but when I stopped drawing noses on characters, that phased out. You could argue that helps visually humanize her though.
Her hair is a departure from the hairstyles Charlie Emily got in any FNAF material, which helps hide the reality of who she is at least. She has straight-cut bangs often seen on creepy goth girls, even covering half of her eyes and giving her an intimidating look. To avoid her body blending into the black hair behind her, she has a huge patch of white hair behind her like Stocking, and to fill more empty space, she has a Monster High-style streak in her hair. Her sharp teeth were inspired by some of her other counterparts, like Nightmarionne. Another detail is her tear-streaks instead being markings that reach over her face, no longer making it look like she’s just crying.

Wanted to do some character design notes, so here's a bit on my design for Charlotte Emily AKA the Marionette.
