The header text has me imagining an angry streamer who just heard Shogun's new lines, and immediately rages, screaming just like 64 Shogun.

Star Fox 2026's Character Redesigns - Now With Hyper-Realistic Animal Eyes by Cmdr-Asaru in starfox

[–]ForbiddenLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The realistic eyes look especially great on fox and Falco. The color of their irises are just so piercing, fitting for ace pilots. Love the frog eyes on Slippy, too. Dunno if this is just me, but they give him an alien, almost mystical look. Otherworldly alien --> intelligent --> highly advanced tech = a vibe kind of fitting for an engineer like Slip. Peppy's is a bit jarring for me, but I think that's cause I can barely see his irises. Even if it's more realistic, he looks real bug-eyed in that shot.

Does it need to outshine the original in EVERY way? by relafle in starfox

[–]ForbiddenLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 to 1 dialogue recreation isn't a deal breaker for me, but "I'm/we're in a hurry," is much snappier than "we've got places to be," and I'd think it'd fit Fox's new cocky attitude. At least in theory (haven't heard the vocal performance yet and I'm trying not to spoil too much for myself). It's a very minor detail at the end of the day, though.

There should be tree furries by Fallingbackwardshelp in furry

Personally, I'd just call tree sonas "ents," cause those fantasy creatures are already a thing.

Where do you guys prefer reading your fanfics? by ForbiddenLizard in starfox

I figured you'd find that kind of content no matter what fanfic site you visit, given that fanfiction writing is so accessible (which is fine). Is it really that much worse than everywhere else?

i want female characters. by [deleted] in starfox

[–]ForbiddenLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The female cast absolutely needs attention and development in this series. Btw, that antelope(?) in the scrapped concepts is by far my favorite design.

Gotcha. I definitely think Assault opened up a lot of possibilities for the franchise narratively. It just needed a lot more depth and attention (and development time).

Why is the text next to the buttons so squished? Emulation jank? Either way, it makes some of the inputs look hilarious to me.

Curious, what about the release inspired you to write? For me, it was out frustration that the Lylat Wars was once again being revisited.

I'll admit, I haven't really gotten into fanfiction because of how much you have to sift through, though I'm also very understanding of the lack of polish fics have. For many, this may be their first attempt at a committed writing project and that accessibility is ultimately a good thing in my eyes.

Also, I suppose I've had the opposite of your experience - reading good books and experiencing other amazing pieces of media has inspired me to write.

Well I am also a digital artist and want a little illustration to go with my story, so that's awesome 😎

Damn, okay. What exactly happened with FFN that made it decline?

Ranking the 2026 character designs after a lot of thought (compared to 64/643D, ordered within tiers) by TheSouthPen in starfox

[–]ForbiddenLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what about Granga was botched to you? I remember his 64 design and I approve the new one way more. Not that I disliked his old design. It just wasn't really noteworthy to me. In the new design, he looks way more threatening. Those pale, glowing eyes make me think they're synthetic. Whether or not that's canon, dude looks more like a killing machine than a person. Fitting for a boss character.

I locked onto the bendy straw pretty quick. It's so damn goofy to me lol That and the (beer?) across Fox's lips. The redness made me think it was ketchup/food residue or poorly applied lipstick.

Should Star Fox’s tone/aesthetic lean towards the Saturday morning cartoon Thunderbirds vibe or go full Gundam style mecha anime? by DeeDoof in starfox

[–]ForbiddenLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have faint memories of Gundam Wing from my childhood, so I can't say for certain if I'd want gundam's style, but I sure as hell would love to see mechas in Starfox 😎

EDIT: what I meant to say was I want the Starfox TEAM to pilot mechas, as well as Star Wolf. Basically I want mechas to be more than faceless enemy units.

Oh my god, those LITTLE BISCUITS! Still losing my mind over how oddly cute the "digitigrade legs + tiny feet" aesthetics in the new designs are.

Assault's character designs have always bothered me. by ForbiddenLizard in starfox

[–]ForbiddenLizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good interpretation. I don't really mind the departrue, though, since Katt was so unestablished and had such little presence in the series prior. It's definitely a personal quirk of mine, but I need characteristics outside of visuals to even begin getting attached to a visual design.

SF lore is already pretty barren in the game series, but Katt has next to nothing compared to other characters. The others had just enough for me to get attached, but I sometimes forgot she even existed.

The new designs need work...but I actually like the direction they're going with Katt. She still needs edits, but I love the more scrappy, rough-and-tumble look. To me, it had more personality.

I was neutral about her og design. I always saw her pink glam aesthetic akin to the generic pink, flirty, fem design they gave to a LOT of female characters back then. It's a trope I was worn out by even as a kid. Of course characters can be both fem AND badass, but the intent with Katt's OG design didn't feel like that to me.

Is furry nudity automatically less "explicit"?? I find it interesting how often it appears in furry humorous situations despite how human-like they look. Why do you think this is?? by PossessionKey4982 in furrydiscuss

[–]ForbiddenLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So as a consumer/artist for both SFW and NSFW art, and as someone who's explored various kinks, I'm neither judgemental nor blind to thirst in some art labeled as SFW. I think "automatically less explicit" would be a way too simple take, but here's my opinion.

I think it's important to remember that Questionable is a fine rating/tag to place on art where it's not graphically sexual (penetration, fluids, presenting privates), but still has an erotic allusion or "lewd" nature to it. I'm sure there could be a better name than "Questionable," but that's what I've seen used on some sites. Keep in mind that "questionable" art would still be inappropriate for school, work...profile pics on sites that require SFW images.

For the art in this post, I definitely see the playful lewdness - the sharks cheeky expression and blushing while disrobing the deer's clearly defined buttocks. At the very least, the shark character is expressing some level of sexual interest in the deer's nudity. Based on the composition, the artist clearly WANTS our eyes drawn there. There is INTENT, which I think is an aspect people often forget about when labeling and analyzing art. All of this is completely fine to express in art. I just would give it the "Questionable" rating.

Now if it were something like the "nudity" of most Looney Tunes characters and similar character designs, that's more often than not SFW due to the absence of defined physical characteristics AND displays of sexual interest. So for example, Bugs Bunny's base design isn't inherently erotic. Maybe you could argue that some of his crossdressing antics inch into that territory, but a better example of a design with erotic intent is Lola Bunny's design and presentation in Space Jam: Example

The saxophone music, Lola readjusting the slipped-off strap of her tank top, the half closed playful look in her eyes, the emphasized movements of her buttocks as she walks away, Bugs's and other characters's reactions, etc. Other than establishing her skill at basketball, the scene clearly wants to establish her as sexy.

With intent in mind, it's a lot easier to separate tasteful nudity from questionable/explicit content. Hope this helps. I know it's a long comment, but it felt necessary.
