So I finally went and made a proper refsheet for my Avali, Maximilian (or just Max). (This is also actually the first time I publically mention his name.)
I wanted ro create a complete reference document that effectively shows him in full, without perspective distortion, along with some dimensioning to nail down his proportions. It isn't particularly pretty or artistic, but it's informative; just like the technical drawings it's designed after (although, do note that it obviously doesn't conform to the very ISO-standards it's inspired by).
I did make some slight design changes when compared to previous pictures, but nothing too major. (Now I must resist the urge to go back and change the previous picture featuring him.)
Note:
-The orthographic projection allows for measurements to easily be taken in the image, a scale-ruler is provided in the bottom left. None of the dimensioning overlaps any of the actual artwork. (Do also note, that despite the seemingly precise dimensioning, liberties may obviously be taken should anyone else decide to draw him. The dimensionings are much more a guide to proportions and relative scale.)
-The mentioned "Eternal Fugitive" is the story I've been writing featuring Max as the main character. See here for the story so far.
-The sheet will be updated if necessary.
-The image, sadly, had to be scaled down to 46% of its original size due to FA's upload limitations.
-Even though it says "Comissioned by" in the labeling field, I do not actually take comissions! This was added purely for set dressing.
Maximilian belongs to me.

Thank you! For both the comment and the fave.
Obviously, the purpose it's supposed to serve is to be a comparatively detailed reference guide for me and potentially other people when drawing (or writing) him, not to enable e.g. the manufacturing of parts. Therefore, the actual impossibility of conforming to every theoretically required standard is irrelevant (completely disregarding the fact, that there aren't any standards for drawing living creatures to my knowledge).
Parodying a technical drawing seemed like a fun and somewhat logical choice for this. I got to completely forget about perspective and posing, just easy T-poses and simple, flat views to add some measurements.
Of course, I could've added more dimensionings, but that would've just cluttered everything up more than it already does. The featured dimensionings are just the most important ones, in my opinion.
Though, to be fair, theme wise, this would've been much more fitting for e.g. a robot character.

I went to a technical Universität for a few semesters but then switched to a technical Hochschule. Doing my master's thesis next winter.
(There's technically a difference between a Universität and a Hochschule here in Germany, the former is more theoretical than the latter, but both can just be translated as "university".Talking education systems in different languages is always difficult.)
And thank you for the more faves! ^^

ahh yeah there are differences between those here as well, but i don't think I'd be able to tell you what they are without getting into a lengthy discussion about the entire tertiary education system that we have...
as far as talking education systems being difficult, i think we czechs might have it worst, since we differ from both you germans, and other slavs - we seem to just barely fit within the EQF levels x(
also: no problem about the faves, i was considering giving you a watch, but i think that depends on whether you'd be fine with that or not

Even talking education systems between the same languages is difficult enough. UK vs. USA or just Germany vs. Austria.
But there surely are equivalences to be found in every system, even the Czech one.
Though, that's a discussion to have in a different place than this comment thread, if you even want to have it. Feel free to write notes here or contact me via Discord.
And why wouldn't I be fine with people watching me?
