Hi Salty~ I hope you like Shadowy beings, Because it's Employer time!
Because they can morph their features, I had a little fun with giving them actual faces. But usually I'd just do eyes and a mouth and be done with it.
Their outfits were actually the most fun I had with them besides the doodles. :)
Now all I have left to do is the

Good lord, it has been so long since this was sent in!! 😬 I'm sorry for being so late on this. To get into the actual subject of this ask I'll just start off by saying that I adore how you managed to show so much personality in these guys.
The Employers tend to be blank slates insofar as appearance is concerned, as really their only differences are their colors, eye shapes, and particle effects. Your use of different body shapes, facial expressions/features, and outfits make them really stand out from each other, and it also shows a lot of thought in how you decided to characterize them.
To start with more specific things I liked, we'll begin with the Auditor. He looks incredibly smug, kind of like he has this pompous aura, which is really funny. He definitely has this self-important attitude that makes itself apparent in what he does in Nevada, with how he saw fit to meddle in what was going on, and I feel you’ve captured that very well in the way he looks.
Plus, those little doodles you did show off his dynamic with the Player quite well (and they’re also really cute lol). We love to see the Auditor simping, even if the Player would rather not have to deal with him when he is. 😅
Moving on to Stygian, I absolutely love the design you went with for him; his style of clothing gives him this air of nobility that really suits him, considering his general attitude and work. In a way, it sort of reminds me of the outfits I'd see in Castlevania or some of the older designs from JJBA Phantom Blood. (Plus, I just really like this style of fashion, so you get brownie points for that lol.)
The more fluid way you drew him is also really cool, and it's especially evident in the doodles (which are also adorable, I like how much attitude you showed with him lol). I just love him haha.
In contrast to these two, the Deliberator strikes me as very "friend shaped"? He seems a lot more innocent from the get-go, which is probably because of his softer facial features (excellent design choices here). Plus, his interactions with the Player in the doodles support this as well. He's probably the nicest Employer within official lore, so this fits really well. :)
Finally, we have the Conductor, and omg his particle effects are stunning!! I really like how you cut into the actual shape of his body to increase the effect of the visual, it's so striking. :D Your design choices when it came to his clothing are excellent as well, considering how you made his title as the Conductor more literal. These are all just wonderful; you did superb work on these, and it only makes me more excited to see what you come up with for the Big Boys lol. <3333
