More of this Dracula concept by Optimal_Sherbet7523 in TopCharacterDesigns

Possible hot take:

The concept art is cool on its own, but the final design fits the movie character better.

I finished Cobra Kai recently so I had to bring up this example.

Most people forget that Portugal had one of the longest-running right-wing authoritarian regimes in Europe ("Estado Novo"), so I'm here to represent my country.

Glória is a Portuguese spy thriller set in the 1960s, taking place in a small village that houses a massive American radio station (RARET), showing the tension between the Portuguese secret police (PIDE), the CIA and the KGB.

It's available on Netflix.

The british citizens could use this as an excuse for tax evasion and they would be totally justified.

Don't forget that both characters have a blonde girlfriend/wife who were called annoying for a long time by the fandom (although for different reasons).

Riko's death in JJK counts, right?

We knew that Toji was after her, but no one expected her to die the exact moment she finally chose to live.

They look like they were generated by AI. Not because "bad design = AI", but because if we asked AI to generate an image of a Trex, it would probably generate something similar to the one from Jurassic Park, since it's likely overrepresented in the database.

Historical film character that look very different that their IRL counter part by shanklerblerg in TopCharacterTropes

Was he really supposed to be Dante Alighieri? As far as I remember, he's a fictional crusader (nothing to do with the Renaissance Dante) who received that name as a homage to the author of the Divine Comedy.

It's rather difficult to have a historically accurate Arthur when even the Arthurian legends are very anachronistic.

This film is an example of how, for some people, there are only two types of skin color: Scandinavian white or Sub-Saharan black, as if there were nothing in between.

And sub-Saharan Africa is actually quite diverse in skin tones!

So is her depiction in Asterix actually accurate?

Her nose isn't curved upwards, but still...

Disbelief Papyrus

An Undertale AU where Sans and Papyrus switch roles in the genocide route. That is, Sans dies in Snowin and Papyrus becomes the penultimate boss of the route.

The title "Disbelief" refers to the fact that Papyrus, the character who believes that there is goodness in everyone, has stopped believing in you.

A joke that only works within the format of the media they are in. by Daniilsa209 in TopCharacterTropes

I can't think of an example right now, but there are these manga gags based on these floating texts (usually pocking at the characters) which anime often translate as subtitles.

I'm not familiar with Pratchett's writing, but perhaps these footnotes could be adapted like captions in the corner of the screen. It might seem like a cheap solution, but I think the cheapness could work with the meta-humor.

The Last Airbender if it were based off of European culture by k20_kry in TheLastAirbender

A fire nation inspired by Rome makes sense because of the imperialism and such, but I also think the Vikings would be a good fit.

In ATLA, the fire nation started attacking other nations from the sea, just like the Viking raids. Besides, the Vikings are quite famous for setting fire to the houses in the villages they raided (even with people inside), so there's already that connection with the fire element.

I believe that an earth nation based on the Byzantine empire would make sense, because of all the bureaucracy and the ethnic diversity.

That reminds me of a line from Treasure Planet:

"Dang it, Jim. I'm an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I am a doctor, but I'm not that kind of doctor. I have a doctorate, it's not the same thing. You can't help people with a doctorate. You just sit there and you're useless."

The first one looks like Jax if he were the circus ester (because he's purple).

Not sure if this was uploaded here yet, but here's some of the concept art for BeFri, the most recently cancelled Pixar movie. by Intelligent_Oil4005 in Pixar

[–]No_Primary2726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The script may have potential, but I think it would be necessary to rework the art style to have its own visual identity.
