my brother works in japan, he said its pretty normal, they are very fair and quick-responsed and keep on doing whatever that was undone, even a ramenshop owner/manager also wash dishes when other employee got their hands full at the time, sometimes they come to the front greeting and servicing the guest, the amount of respect given in japan is insane but the downside they worked too hard it looks workaholic for non japanese

@@NeflewitzInc exactly, any artists that deals with character designs pretty much has to have good sense of costume design. If you don't use references, you just kinda "make up" stuff that isn't believable (depending on the style of the art).
