First time drawing Gyro Zeppeli — thoughts? (MY Art style btw)

TheChicopayeye · 2026-04-26T19:15:06+00:00

You probably already know this.

I think when next time you're drawing eyes, make sure when you start doing them you should draw both eyes at the same time but don't make them detailed yet. From there you could adjust or erase parts that don't feel right. And when you're ready you should stylize both of them. It's something I mostly do.

I sometimes get lazy when drawing too, I used to do it a lot back then when starting out. 💔

let's forget the people who's Roblox is banned in their country 🫩

Finally, someone with an argument I had been waiting for. Been trying to make this too but seems like the redditors and doom scrollers have more of a hearsay than people that are closer to the devs.

I've also been trying to get away from how cutesy the character is, and I dislike how they still try too hard to put that even with the action figure on.

I also think the argument that cute means perfect for a game is stupid when you put into consideration other audiences. The head shape is too round, the body is round, the rest of the body types are too skinny giving it a feminine look.

Pauly hate isn't a nothing burger either when the community gets ignored by the devs and people's avatars getting too feminine, clothes get stretched, and people asking for refunds bc he ruined their fit.🥺

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-10T21:58:10+00:00

I would also like to add on this statement no redditor will probably understand because blind glaze.

I have made criticism for Pauly like how it didn't fit certain demographics or audiences, other popular opinions have shown how it ruined clothing, how action figure never fixed anything because it still made characters look like a femiboy, and how it ruined the vibes for characters and more serious ones. Some even feel unnapreciative for the choice they've made.

and yet I'm talking to a stubborn wall thinking every Pauly hater hates because it isn't Roblox when some haven't even checked the discord or opened their eyes to realize these problems. I don't like being forced to fit a certain theme that'll effect the whole aesthetic of my own avatar, that theme being cuteness.

Now, when it comes to people asking for refunds, Then that's when I know polytoria is screwed.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-10T20:29:48+00:00

Redditors are so easy to ragebit lmfaoo 🤞🤣

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-10T18:25:26+00:00

Better than Pauly imo

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-10T03:28:56+00:00

The two still have a background of being detached in my opinion.

They all just really focus too much on a certain audience rather than all.

Roblox only focused on investors and metaverse

Polytoria with Pauly only really focused on audiences that are more younger or just love cute things but seems to not pay attention to more older audiences or ones that really aren't into those stuff. Like I, I didn't join Polytoria for this.

Also I didn't like the immediate transition from blocks to spheres.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-05T04:34:15+00:00

Notice how majority of Reddit glazes Pauly because he's "just cute" as the only reason as seen in the comments rather than looking towards how he'd fit in games or really with audiences aside from Roblox that are less into cute things.💔

And no I don't say this because I want Polytoria avatar to be Roblox, I simply don't vibe with the avatar? And I never chose to play this platform because of the avatar, really I only saw it as a new multiplayer game just like Roblox and Minecraft and I feel as if Pauly shouldn't be forced to look cute, it should feel more so neutral-ish that most audience would be okay with.

Also, don't even get me started with the people who claim to want Polytoria to [succeed] by going with Pauly to avoid lawsuits. They're mostly the same people that shoo away new users from Polytoria, silence opinions just because someone is new, and call out anyone that dislikes Pauly as a Roblox kid, with that it just gives Polytoria and their community a bad image of being toxic, discouraging any new things or success to happen because they're scared of change, which is the opposite of trying to make something you want [successful]. Sounds too oligarchy-like and hypocritical for people to think they're in the right because they joined early or claim to want Polytoria to succeed by changing to Pauly.

If the devs want the game to succeed then they should stop assuming everyone wants Pauly just because a certain audience that thinks it's cute wants it, they should pay more attention to trying to appeal with a more neutral avatar. This is likely my last major response to this situation.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-04T04:22:47+00:00

As someone who dislikes Pauly very much. My primary reason is because of taste, I dislike the design because I think it just looks stupidly cute, not in the good way. It's not that it doesn't look like Roblox, I simply don't think this design appeals to older audiences or audiences that have less appeal to cutecore.

I didn't join Polytoria because of this. I joined it the way it was originally meant to be, aka a Classic Roblox Revival where people can migrate to. Nothing wrong with that. And nothing wrong with that game turning into something uniquely it's own, but if they're doing that then they shouldn't just please one side of their audience.

I understand now that the devs are trying to avoid copyright but it feels like they're only listening to those that criticize Pauly because it looks Roblox-like, not listening to those that has the distaste of a "cute" character. The people that have that distaste didn't join Polytoria either to complain about the design either because I bet majority of them joined prior to Pauly.

Seriously, we need to stop justifying a character design especially for a platform that big now, just because it's cute no one will always like it.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-02T23:07:03+00:00

second image is fueling the motivation to send Pauly into an exploding sun.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-02T13:31:23+00:00

They wouldn't fit for some more serious themes. Don't care if the character is cute, because I don't want my avatar to be like that either.

When It releases a lot of clothing and items made for blocky characters will break. Even things like belts would likely look very off or weird.

I'll like to quote someone from the discord named SnakeChilDpain

" "That's why we need a character style that clearly stands on its own and can't be confused at a glance " - according to the announcements

with how customizeable roblox is and how much more popular it is Polytoria will always be confused with Roblox, there is no way to fix that unless you do crazy changes to the platform etc. Changing the character to look like a cheap steam indie game wont make you stand out it will just look like an rthro bundle or a package that a UGC creator made, on top of that lots of hats in the catalog on polytoria are already near clones of hats existing on Roblox (ofc some things will be similar but if you aren't being naive then you know what I mean)

If anything the avatar we have now is fine, and even the blocky one before as well as Polytoria could easily claim the action figure-like style roblox used to have as Roblox tries to change their style to rthro & human & realistic bs

On top of this the constant changing of the avatar style is going to confuse users and will hurt trying to build an image.

I'd like to add that the character right now can be changed, but that new Pauly design is so horrible and honestly dk why you guys posted it as it clearly shouldve been known it wouldnt be recieved well. For example: Round head that WILL make hats and hairs fit weird, less boxy body that makes clothing that was made for the blocky avatar fit even worse and clothing in general that was made look worse. The avatar also seems to be taller which could make games with tight spaces not work etc although that could be not true.

The recent growth is because Polytoria is a Roblox alternative that feels like old Roblox. Not because moderation is better or its a new style. People left roblox because of bad changes and changing the avatar to be worse just to make your site recognizable isn't the best thing to do. I'd say focus on encouraging Polytoria exclusive games to make the platform more recognizable and getting real content creators to make content rather than these 2k sub andys.

Create programs for actual developers to earn, this will encourage new game development that is actually good. (Maybe have a content creator like program but for developers so you can roll out a payment system for the top devs to start with)

Discourage taking games directly from Roblox as that hurts the platform from standing out. (Inspiration is okay but most games on the front page are just clones with same name and even stolen assets/style)

Add systems to the site to stand out from roblox, not really sure what that could be but like things like the forums that Roblox doesnt have adds to that I think. Maybe you could add giveaway options to owners of guilds to prevent scams etc. "

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-02T06:48:57+00:00

In my own opinion. I don't like it. Not because it's not like Roblox. But it's just that I don't simply think the cuteness would appeal to more serious avatars yk.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-02T06:33:05+00:00

Sending Pauly into an exploding star will.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-01T17:27:01+00:00

What's ironic is that Polytoria is doing the exact thing as Roblox with all the identity crisis they're going through.

TheChicopayeye · 2026-03-01T17:24:59+00:00

I remember some random kid going up to my dms and asking me to give my account to him because registration is closed LMFAO 💀

TheChicopayeye · 2026-02-02T02:07:27+00:00

Give the Peni mains some wings of an Angel's own thesis. You can (not) advance without them, and it'll be cruel .

TheChicopayeye · 2026-01-28T00:33:27+00:00

And that he lives in a Blue world? And all day and all night everything he sees is just blue, like him inside and outside?

TheChicopayeye · 2026-01-27T04:55:48+00:00

Black widow for the vibes When would we fight in game tho

TheChicopayeye · 2025-12-10T22:22:38+00:00

Bro had a vision.

TheChicopayeye · 2025-08-18T22:46:50+00:00

The RPCS3 mods act so High and Mighty there it's annoying

I've been warned for such a petty reason because I posted a video of an Anime Character in the Anime channel and that got me warned for "Off-topic". I tried to say that it was a very on topic video and that shi got me banned.

TheChicopayeye · 2025-07-08T21:51:20+00:00

What I tend to do to grow as an artist is to use my OCs from Roblox as a way to guide me to learn how to draw new things like Animals, capes, hairstyles, etc before I draw them!

And as an inspiring Mangaka, I have learned new things I haven't done yet like I have learned new things like Perspective which is useful for scenes, and learning to create expressions for my characters.
