What I'm thinking is small square-rimmed glasses, body to head ratio would be more of a 2:4 rather than 1:4, jeans, bubbly/energetic personality, and not big boobs necessarily but not none at all either. But this is all open, so feel free to speak your mind. This is a community decision.
I really like the 1:6 ratio! It makes her look more worldly and cultured in that pic. Witch is exactly what she is see as she is a lover of japanese cultured and has traveled from the U.S. to Japan. Or at least that what sysop said in the last thread.

For the head I like both the first and 3rd one, If the the first one had the 3rd ones glasses it would be great. second one looks like a preschool kid.
For breasts I like the second one, 3rd is too much. (more than a handfull is wasted!(lol "handy"))
For ratio I like the 1:6.

@386
That would be pretty awesome. I worry a little, though, cause that could oversex her. @387
I see the cat being white with a black spot around an eye.
She could be Japanese descendant and still a Otaku so she could have a Western name and a Japanese name. (Or just a western name and adopt an anime name)
I'm a Japanese descendant born and raised in a western country (all my grandparents are Japanese and one of my parents is Japanese too) but I'm pretty otaku. I'm an adult in university who likes anime, manga, video-games, browse 4chan for around 6 years, have some anime figures/dolls, like Japanese food (also, their instant food is the best instant food) and worked in Japan for 2 months during my vacation (and I returned with a trolley case filled with toys, plushies, 3 sex toys and lotion) but I can't speak Japanese very well. I can read and write hiragana, katakana and a some kanji but my vocabulary is poor.

You should allow artists to make variations. It could be the same character drawn in different stages of chibiness > Accessories & misc (backpack, hairpin, camera etc.)
Anime key chains (I have many but don't use them) > Personality (for an otaku it's most likely shy and speechless, but that'd be pretty boring)
How about that kind of otaku that keep talking about anime and games all the time? > There're a lot of twists can be made. I'll see if I have the time tonight to make more examples to let you guise see which is the best
You could give a look at TVtropes and www.questionablecontent.net now they have Marigold, a otaku character

Laura-chan is shaping up well. I'm going to bed, but before I go I'd just like to say that if she has a cat it should def. be named after a moe character.

On here, long wall o' replies coming......
@OP > What I'm thinking is small square-rimmed glasses, body to head ratio would be more of a 2:4 rather than 1:4, jeans, bubbly/energetic personality, and not big boobs necessarily but not none at all either.
2:4 (1:2) would make her a real chibi. Of coz I can draw you an example first. And, an energetic otaku? haha it doesnt seems to mix, but I'll try.
@322
I personally love that big round nerdy glasses on her, makes she look silly and cute :3
@324 > she should worship Haruhi, Konata and Yotsuba like any good otaku!
Yotsuba I like, but Haruhi & Konata......meh :P
@325
Yotsuba hairpin, marked. But really need to be simplified to fit her face onto a tiny hairpin. Maybe a chan leaf would do too?
@326 > On, I love the little pics you put in between the examples so adorable!
Thanks :3 I made her wearing a Japanese cotton-padded jacket, which is totally unfashionable and are for old folks :3
@327 > I really like the 1:6 ratio!
Thanks. It's usually what you find in comics, but may not be good for a mascot, i dunno :P > Or at least that what sysop said in the last thread.
He said he want a 1:2....... ._.
@328 > If the the first one had the 3rd ones glasses it would be great.
Heard. Tho I personally like the silly big round glasses lol. > second one looks like a preschool kid.
Isn't that cute? :3c Just not too otaku-like. > For breasts I like the second one, 3rd is too much.
LOL you can't tell how much is too much for some people...... :3c > For ratio I like the 1:6.
That would be more normal-looking, while smaller ratio would be more chibi-like and looks small and cute. Don't you think she looks less like a loli in 1:6? Just my 0.02.
@331 > I forgot to say that I like the backpack with all the stuff sticking out of it. i say it sorta emphasizes her obsessive interests.
YES! I give her that solely for this purpose! :D Just like an otaku went to comicon and hunted lots of treasure.
@336 > lol just noticed one magizine is called wtf
lol too lazy to come up with a proper title :3
@339 > Also, subtle TC buttons aren't fooling me :p
By default she is into TinyHime XD
@347 > meh I like what he said except with the mega boobs.
Lol busty-otaku-loli :3
@358 > I think the bookbag should have a lot of stuff hanging off it.
Too many and it'll be killing to draw ;_; Tho I agree.
@363 > Now I'm picturing a whole comic where she has to buy a new cell because her old one wont work outside the U.S.
So she is a Japanese immigrant?
@377 > Her name should be Laura, but she should have a second weeaboo name.
Laura "Loli" Taku :P
@380 > Also, the mascot so far screams yaoi fangirl.
Eh, female otaku are 90% bounded with that, but I hate yaoi :/
@381 > Laura-tan!
Looks like it became her official name nao :3
@383 > What are Laura-chan's favorite animes and mangas?
I dunno~ haven't made setting on that yet. But anything cute and fluffy would get her.
@385 > She should also have an adorable pet kitten.
I'm not sure about it, when thinking about a running cat can easily ruined all the decorations (figures/posters) in an otaku's room :P
@396 > and it's on one of the mag in her backpack.
LOL. I just made that as a prank of "Naruto", and I have no idea about a artist called Maruto b4hand....... hohoho :3c
@400 > On you sneaky sneaker you.
I swear I didn't know anything :3
@401 > Those big round like Miyuki from Lucky Star please!
The default one won't do?...... ;_; > You should allow artists to make variations.
But I am the artist here :/ And I need one fix'd ratio as her "default" setting. > Anime key chains (I have many but don't use them)
Sounds good :3 > How about that kind of otaku that keep talking about anime and games all the time?
Well yes, I suppose that'd be what she do when she's with her otaku friend. I mean generally, when facing normal stranger, she'd turned shy and speechless. > You could give a look at TVtropes and www.questionablecontent.net.
Thx, will check later.
@403 > Is it bad I wanna fuck Laura-chan?
LOL you want rule 34 of Laura-chan already before she's completed? :3 Otakutalk RULZ!
@405 > I can has photo plox?
If (s)he is a she, then I second this.

@421 @422
I see her as being extremely bubbly and energetic around her friends, but shy around everyone else; it's realistic and a good blend! Also, yeah, the cat would get to be a pain.

(Citing a deleted or non-existent reply.) (Citing a deleted or non-existent reply.)
No cat, then. Does she play vidyagames? What are her non-anime hobbies? I see her being into making vectors and stuff like that.
Anonymous N replied with this 2.1 years ago, 1 minute later, 11 hours after the original post[Top]#437
Okay lemme summarize what to be on my next draft:
Body:Head default ratio shift to 1:6
Default hairstyle, square-rimmed glasses, and a handy pair of boobs :3
Energetic personality (when it's about otaku stuff)
More designs on her belonings/accessories
And, her default clothing too

@435 > Does she play vidyagames?
Yes, coz I rike vidyage-mu :3 > What are her non-anime hobbies? I see her being into making vectors and stuff like that.
So she's an manga/doujin artist wannabe? That could work too :)

Ok so from this thread people are saying:
> Body:Head default ratio shift to 1:6 > Default hairstyle, > square-rimmed glasses, > and a handy pair of boobs :3 > Energetic personality (when it's about otaku stuff) > More designs on her belonings/accessories > And, her default clothing too
> a manga/doujin artist wannabe
> a IRC/internet handle or sorts
> Playing FPS+other vidya on the 360
> Shops in Akihabara
> lots of accessories (btw why is the hairpin such big issue? lol)
And apparently her name is Laura-chan now. ^^;
> rule 34
Geeeze low on fap material tonight?
