And I draw this comic in my 'sleep'. I laughed, but considering some of the jokes (especially the Zetsubou-sensei parody, which I myself have been wanting to do), I'm starting to entertain the possibility. Great comic, keep it up.

In a way, by refining her look, you are being true to your artistic vision. It's also a time-honored tradition to introduce a range of female characters to satisfy your readership's widely differing preferences. :3 I wouldn’t worry too much about modifying a wish-fulfillment character.

I don't like her character design all that much - actually, I thought she was more attractive in that first appearance of her. Big boobs and revealing clothes just aren't my thing - I like gals with style. I'm probably not your target audience anyway, though, so my opinion is null. also, you did an awesome job with the zetsubou-sensei parody.

Isn't ALL art "wish fulfillment," to some degree? Stephen King writes scary stories because he likes scary stories. And Michaelangelo, well, apparently he liked sneaking buff naked guys into his pictures, and who's gonna complain? I think you have to be true to your own creative impulses. Odds are pretty good your target audience likes and wants the same things you do. Honestly, I’d just draw Tina as feels right to you. Isn’t ALL art “wish fulfillment,” to some degree?

I liked the punchline, I liked it a lot. But I don't think too highly of dolling up Tina, a good character is one that evolves beyond the author and starts to behave like a real person, with its own personality and likes. Still, so moe I could die... ZETSUBOU SHITA!
