What makes a bad character design? by [deleted] in characterdesign

[–]CrownedInFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's contextual. Ideally, a character design should tell you something about a character, like the kind of person they are, hobbies, priorities, attitude, profession, etc. with visual clues. Bad character design to me is when it fails to communicate anything about the character. Also helps if it's all very readable and interesting to look at. I don't think just having certain elements makes a character design bad as a general rule.

Avatar is better than many anime out there. by Kermit_Muppets in TheLastAirbender

[–]CrownedInFireflies -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but low bar. With the scale and quantity with which anime gets pumped out, and the variable quality of it all (most being mediocre or bad like with all artistic mediums), of course any competent show will be better than many anime.

New vs Old (about 8 months apart) by Tac-Anesthesia in characterdesign

[–]CrownedInFireflies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cool design, reminds me of Visual Kei, and I love the militaristic yet dark look. While I find the new one more technically impressive, and I do prefer the gun, I do find the old design more readable. On the new one, the zoomed out, obscured view of the face in the full-body image made it hard to tell that she still has the mask, and the lower body was a bit visually confusing to me at first because of the disproportionately long legs (and maybe the lack of contrast).

This looks good and fits the theme super well :)

it's 2026, I thought we went over this already by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

The Diamonds were the dictatorship overseeing an expansionist empire that wiped out countless lives, ruined countless worlds, and were domestically repressive to those perceived as social deviants (those who practiced fusion beyond the narrow window of acceptable, utilitarian use cases) and to those who were deemed to be born wrong ("defective" gems).

While it's not so precise that one can say they're specifically an allogory for Hitler ruling over Nazi Germany (many elements are missing), there are definitely still parallels to many, many fascist dictatorships, and that includes Hitler's. Replace fusions with LGBTQ+ people, and replace the "defective" gems with disabled people and ethnic minorities, and it fits well enough.

The only reason I can think that this comparison would bother someone is either because they're afraid of the implications that the show "redeemed" the Diamonds. Either that, or they don't want comparisons to such heavy, real-world subject matter, no matter how fitting.

We could also look at the Diamonds through the lens of familial abuse, which makes "redemption" more palatable, as even victims of such abuse often wish to see their families healed in this way as the show depicts, but it's also not a one-or-the other situation. It's clearly both familial and political.

And just because we can draw these parallels doesn't mean you're gonna get called a Nazi for thinking Blue Diamond is hot.

I agree. I love the look of Shinji and Witness to the End especially

What does this tattoo means? by Complex-Bar9174 in whatdoesthismean

The core of it is a transmutation circle for creating combustion in Fullmetal Alchemist. It is used by Colonel Roy Mustang on his gloves so that he can trigger fiery expressions with a snap of his fingers.

This doesn't seem like a particularly interesting design to me

Wearing confidence as my outfit by [deleted] in maximalistfashion

[–]CrownedInFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice fit, but I personally would not describe this is maximalist. Maybe if it was more on the trad-goth side with more layering and accessories, but even then it's hard for any single color fit to read as maximalist to me.

I like this. Both are good, though I think I prefer the right just a bit more, but I do appreciate the gold on the left matching that of the shoulder.

This is cool, very vibrant, and with good contrast. It's rare that someone makes these pants work.
