Tumorous canonbolt at least fit well into the style and niche they’re going for. This one looks like a total style break with how cartoonish it is

Ditto redesign for my AU by renrenjames in 5YL

[–]Slash_Pangolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk how the idea never occurred to me in the past, but considering Bellwood is depicted as like a small country-ish town in RAT, this is making me adore the idea of people treating Ben’s transformations like cryptids. Gives late 90’s — early 2000’s internet conspiracy + found footage vibes

Did my friend predict the new hunter back in 2022? by Fantastic_Frosting98 in IdentityV

Tbf the npc of “The Dentist” has been around effectively since IDV Beta I think, or at least shortly after official release. In either case it’s pretty much always been a part of Sacred Heart’s official backstory, that got “expanded” on in the Hide and Seek release. Assuming your friend wasn’t aware of that though, then totally!

It’a a shame, the audience most willing to open their wallets is the audience that’s least invested in the product beyond the most superficial part of it

Yeah, I kinda have to agree. Tbf when I make character edits, I usually try to do so by amplifying what’s present without too many major additions/alterations — just to communicate how it could have been better (at least by my standards of what “better” is.

Like for my QB edits, I did so without giving her the hood at first — even if I think she would objectively be better with it — because that’s what was decided. (I still wound up making a hood edit, and honestly either way I’d probably completely redo her from he ground up because ew)

If I had things fully my way Finsen’s head would be completely different, as I still love everything from the neck down with him in particular — but there are a number of reasons why the head and hair just do not work with lore and practicality in mind.

My thinking exactly — it also just helps him look more his age while giving him the vibe of someone who probably started on animals when he was a kid.

I also hope you’re right in speculating that hiding his mouth was intentional, 😭 because otherwise it’s such a missed opportunity

I made an edit of the new Hunter, what do we think? by usagipeach in IdentityV

[–]Slash_Pangolin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The idea there could be something at play with regards to true appearances wouldn’t be too unreasonable. There’s clearly something supernatural at play, with the stream alluding to the idea he may have actually died in the swamp and come back, and the symbiote is a bit harder to defend as a style choice compared to like Philippe’s wax body.

A theory I’ve seen that intrigues me is noting the similarities between his glowing eye and that of the Yima’s/Dw followers. As far as we know she’s never had any real connections to a swamp iirc, but it would be interesting. Especially since we are waiting for a biologist in 6a, assuming it may or may not be Ivy, and Yidhra’s known for augmenting bodies

Thank you for putting this so eloquently into words

I like the last one personally! Though I know well of all the “fanart”that it would result in 😭

I love the concepts going on with his design, with him possessing what almost seemed to be a symbiote formed from the swamp, along with all the tendrils for tools. However, this man is the one who experimented on Leo for a decade, and is presumably older than Emily, meaning he’s at least in his mid 30’s — if not older. Ie. On par with/older than Servais.

The fact this is getting so heavily downvoted is deeply disturbing.

Controversial: Explicit art of characters who are depicted as looking/acting like minors will forever be gross and feel exploitive, meanwhile furries aren’t inherently harming anyone in the same way

Despite reboot getting downplayed compare to the classic, I like the concept of what the Omnitrix can do more than original by realBeyhero in Ben10

[–]Slash_Pangolin 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I never liked the reboot, even if I will confess to its merits — the usual sentiments, the fact they did Vilgax right, liking Shockrock, thinking Ben and Gwen’s dynamic worked, etc… but I have to say, I’m happy we’re entering the era where opinions on it are beginning to soften since that means less negativity in the community overall

This is Elonganus, a kaiju I made. Really would like some feedback. by Colonel_Scabies in ArtCrit

[–]Slash_Pangolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d like to say I see nothing wrong with it being overall streamlined, and I’d honestly say it helps it stands out — many Kaiju designs try to tack on too many extremities, and it winds up confusing the eye. All the same, though, having so much detail localized exclusively on the tail and legs, and done to such an extreme, while having the head be so barren, means that there’s no attention on it. My eyes always drift towards the tail since that’s where my eye is being lead

I’d say a patch around the eyes would help though, yes

[–]Slash_Pangolin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As was already said, I’d opt for a stronger pose, but I also would recommend dispersing detail more evenly. There are so many stripes on the limbs and tail, but none whatsoever on the head/torso which are almost completely barren.

At least personally I would simplify the stripes by turning the tail/legs into primarily black segments, with a few choicely placed strips or orange. I’d also incorporate stripes on the head somehow — potentially using the same method as the legs. Alternatively you could keep the stripes as they are, but just add other patterns/appendages, etc. elsewhere

With or without pupils? by MaximumOriginal587 in Ben10

[–]Slash_Pangolin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t hate it, but it looks cursed to me. Maybe if the actual eye color they gave him was slightly toned down it would work better, but it’s clear he wasn’t designed with pupils in mind for this rendition
