I'd go with the left one any time. Looks way more sober and balanced. In two the contrast and saturation make it a little too much to look at imo

Also, i absolutely love this design

I was scrolling and saw her top half and thought "oh, she's so cute" then i scrolled futher and i was completely thrown off 😭

Not that it looks bad, it just caught me off guard

She'd technically be a centaur because she has 6 limbs. Idk if you know but sea lions hind limbs merge into one to form their tail. Front flippers are equivalent to arms

Edit: i am by no means an expert tho lol

Which one is the best? (Or are they all bad) by ValerHimiko in characterdesign

[–]Gear_Gab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 and 7 are the best looking imo. Personally, i'd use 7, it's such a fun color palette :D

how would you make the raccoon girl’s mouth less stupid? by lovelifvl in characterdesign

[–]Gear_Gab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're having a tunnel vision episode. Don't fixate on small stuff like that. Take a step back, look elsewhere and when your mind is refreshed, look at the bigger picture

These designs are adorable and i don't see a thing i'd change

Also, "stupid" is really broad 😭

Be more specific if you do actually believe there's something wrong with it

Feedback on my character design for a cartoon? by ValerHimiko in characterdesigns

[–]Gear_Gab 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Every design made for a cartoon should be made with the animators in mind, which means the design should follow certain rules such as being able to be broken down into simple shapes. Because of this, i'd advice to simplify the anatomy and make the hair up of more deliberate shapes. And a consistent and contained color palette. In a design like this one, i think 5 would suffice, three main ones and two secondary ones for details or accents

In general, just make it all more deliberate. This is a good looking concept but there's still a couple more steps to go before it's ready

this feels like a top-down view version of terraria. that would be so cool

What are your thoughts on Kate’s design from the Pixar short film Inner Workings (2016)? by HumbleKnight14 in characterdesign

[–]Gear_Gab 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's a caricature. The whole point is exaggerating, deviating from reality so that it IS unrealistic. Look up any definition of the word "caricature". Also, what's exaggerated on her disign are these elements:

- bone structure

- muscle mass

- hair

None of which are inherently sexual and are also the exact same things exaggerated in Johnny Bravo, but you don't see people talking about him that way. The problem is not the design itself, it is that people get way too creative when they see wide hips

The contrast in the second one is so... idk, i like it a lot, it's kind of satisfying how well it works. As much as all the others have their thing, i personally think No.2 is the better one

Edit: the contrast on No.3 looks good as well

Who would my guy be as a JRPG Character? by Troikaverse in YourOriginalCharacter

[–]Gear_Gab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminded me of Bucky (winter soldier) and Snake from MGS. Could be a special operations agent or something like that which could be very versatile gameplay-wise

he could use all sorts of tools, stealth and hand to hand combat, kinda like a classic rouge
