Post Your Character design

>>3786574
LOOK AT THIS SHIT LMAO

>>3786571
to be fair atleast 38.97% of character designs are bad, be it in eastern media or western

Whos doing the designs for Promare?

Character sheets and promo art most of the time look gay. It's when it's in the actual animation that matters.

>>3786571
I wonder if she's wearing panties underneath that skirt

>>3786571
I love trigger, and I really want to like these designs. But they just look so gaudy. Maybe they'll look better in motion. Shigeto Koyama knows what he's doing though, so I'm sure it'll work out fine.

>>3786571
Post your work or get out, noone cares about the random stuff you googled to call shit, anyone call anything shit.

>>3786571
They make up for it with story, music, animation, etc. no one can be good at everything.

>>3786611
its like off brand Kamina.

>>3786611
galo

>>3786611
Gross failure of a Kamina knockoff. Gross thicc neck.

>>3786662
and >>3786579 is definitely not a Yoko knockoff :^)

Yeah, this one is horrible. The girls are just bland, not really bad or good.

>>3786571
This guy made this same thread on /a/ yesterday, got no replies, and is now here to beg for (You)s.

>>3786571
The coloring is kino. Anyone who says otherwise is still a long way from being a good artist.
Its gonna sell, stay mad fags.

>>3786716
nope, haven't made a thread on /a/ in years

Dubs of truth

>>3786571
The head's quaint.
Not too sure what's going on with that body though

Trigger is the Reddit of animation studios change my mind

>>3786785
I don't care that much about your mind to change it. Do it yourself if it matters that much

>>3786785
This is KyoAni or SHAFT, Trigger is the 9gag of animation studios.

>>3786785
Pretty sure Reddit would be KyoAni or something. Trigger is probably 9gag. 4chan would be Pierrot or some shit.

>>3786785
>>3786785

thx for settei guys

>>3786571
When does this anime come out?

I’ve been saving up a huge load to blow on it

>>3786571
can you post sources claiming its a good character design?

>>3786571
For pedo appeal
>>3786579
For generic pervert appeal

>>3786571
The anime industry is creatively bankrupt. All it does is copy elements of past successful anime without understanding why they were remarkable in the first place and doesn't try to deviate from the norm of what is acceptable because experimental stuff "doesn't sell" (workers are paid too low to take risks). Every modern anime is made for a specific demographic (i.e. idols, moe, fujoshi, nostalgia, chuuni, braindead drama romcom watchers) and not for productive adults who have a 3 digit IQ and capability of abstract thought. It's not true that there were more good anime in the past, but at least shit anime in the past could be entertaining unlike shit anime now which is too safe and mundane. This character design is just another repercussion of the late stage of capitalism (reddit marxist meme term, I know, but it clearly applies here) affecting the anime industry, turning your chinese cartoons into soulless, meaningless, mass-manufactured corporate approved garbage.

>>3786788
MAPPA is quickly becoming the best. Apparently they are the ones working on the Dorohedoro anime

>>3786866
literally this is what miyazaki was talking about instead of drawing inspiration from real life all the industry does is try to chase it's own tail instead of being as innovative and new as it used to be e.g the tons of isakai,moe, and yuri shows that come out every year and all most all mecha shows now just rip on evangelion now.

in times like this i'm so happy experimental stuff like mob psycho 100,space dandy,one punchman, made in abbeys and anything by massaki yuasa is still keeping this industry alive from self destroying it's self and loosing all the creativity it has

>>3786571
>>3786579
What's wrong with it? Not realistic enough for ya?

>>3786866
I miss Late 90s anime. Early 00s too.

>4 waist belts
>2 on each thigh
This nigga's got belts to keep his belts up

>>3786611
I watched the trailer and it didn't look too terrible but the whole world looked stylistically gaudy as hell. Guy just looks out of place on plain paper.

>>3787098
a well designed non racist non caricature black anime character


thank you based trigger

>>3787126
japan likes belts.
america prefers pouches

>>3787140
>only black character
>obviously thuggish
>not racist
Oh dear...

>>3787157
yeah now that you mention it he is a bit stereotypical token black, but after terrible racist design that is sister krone from the promised neverland this initially looks way better as they didn't give him large lips in a very stereotypical way.

>>3787095
is this what they call a trap?

>>3787160
>racism apology
Please dont?

>>3786571
>That blonde girl
Oh shit. Are we getting another Trigger Girl origin story like Luluco?

>>3787165
sorry, i didn't mean to apologize for racism. to be honest the design could be way better also it would help if he was not the only black character in the team

I see nothing wrong with these designs and i never saw anything better on /ic/.

>>3786571
Because it is.

Nobody on this board understands the concept of appeal. Everyone here is still learning so their obsessed with gesture and anatomy, forgetting that once you're past a certain point you can ignore all that shit and begin to draw truly interesting things.

>>3787268
Well, less ignore and more get so accustomed to it that you know how to break the rules in an appealing way.

>>3787268
/ic/ is alright for helping absolute beginners to understand that there are certain fundamentals that you can practice and learn that will give you the building blocks to make better work. Beyond that - you're right. At some point you'll start to acquire the fundamentals you need to branch off towards your own voice & style.

Personally, I think there's a big issue with people here being incapable of really seeing a piece through to completion. Too many blogs in the social media thread are full of sloppy & unfinished work. The draw threads often have anons sharing their incomplete work then saying "Just about done with this one!" I really think you need to complete your work in order for you to really grow stylistically and understand how you like to make work that is more unique to you.

>>3787271
I think the very notion of 'breaking the rules' is a misguided. There are no rules in art, so there's nothing to break. The fundamentals are tools, not guidelines.

>>3787287
Well yeah. "No rules only tools". Just saying it for the sake of argument, these structures we use to learn and understand natural form can be broken for the sake of visual appeal once we understand their use

>>3787189
That's my theory. Too many similarities in design.

I think this just points to a cultural difference in aesthetic values. Japanese people seem to prefer bombastic, exaggerated designs where realism takes a backseat to the rule of cool. Westerners tend to prefer more grounded designs. We think a lot of their character design looks ridiculous and they think ours are boring.

>>3787098
They're like those Pokemon Colosseum NPC names that don't make a lick of sense.

>>3787467
good point.

>>3787098
looks like awful tumblr/western shit. the guys are terrible and the girls forgettable so guessing it's for fujos and gays

>>3786880
Sorry to burst your bubble anon but Miyazaki has never said "Anime was a mistake".

That's an edit, and its become a meme.

>>3786611
>>3786579
>>3786571
flashy crayola designs appeal to the lowest common denominator

>>3786866
Truth, and even more true when discussing Trigger. They're simply too fucking self-referential.

>>3787095
>twink gimp
yikes!

>>3786866
i've felt this way for years... anime is literally the new hollywood

>>3786887
this tbqh

>>3787160
Oh wow, you actually bitch about Krone's design, pathetic.

You would bitch if she wasn't designed like that either, saying she's being whitewashed instead I bet.

>>3787098
FLAO BLOMKLUSH

>>3787915
it's not just her design it's the way she is also drawn in such an over exaggerated way especially in the manga to which it looks similar to racist depictions of black people, the anime fixes this a lot though it's not perfect. it also doesn't help that she is the only black character in the story and is drawn the most exaggerated and terrify. it wouldn't hurt to have thrown a few other black kids into the main cast maybe 2-3 if you're going to make krone as the most scariest adult in the series so it doesn't come across as racist or ignorant.

LMAO
this is forced overdesign

>>3788392
>it wouldn't hurt to have thrown a few other black kids into the main cast maybe 2-3 if you're going to make krone as the most scariest adult in the series so it doesn't come across as racist or ignorant.
It would have been equally problematic, you fucking sub-cognitive racist.

>libtards are mad

>>3788402
the thing I hate the most, more than blatant racism is fake liberals like this latent fascist right here >>3788392

>>3788399
how would it have been equally problematic, it would have meant krone is not a token black character as she is now


>>3788428
i'm not a liberal I just don't like racism I don't politically lean left or right i'm just decent average human being that use the thing called empathy don't know if you have ever heard of it for all races of humans

Blacks can be racist against other blacks, you know? Also
>replying to me
Could you not? I'm not interested in your normalized racism speach. Thankyou.

>>3788417
stop it anon, I struggle to keep my food in my mouth

>>3788465
okay i will stop reply to you from now on but just to let you know you never explained how anythig i did was racist while i explained how the designs were.

>>3786571
Is she supposed to be the blond Trigger girl?

>>3788519
Cool he's a chill browno now

>>3788524
yes they are just re using designs

>>3788524
Has the left girl ever appeared in an anime?

>>3786700
So true

>>3788465
>Blacks can be racist against other blacks
That's called prejudice fucking retard, and no, Nigger said by a nigger isn't racist because Blacks aren't saying it with the same meaning as White Americans used it. It's like calling the Spanish racist for saying Negro when that's literally Black in Spanish. Whites can just say Blacks but don't because they are racist.

>>3789537
Plesae trumptard dont reply to me, thank you.

>>3787653
not that anon but why would you assume he doesn't know that already? The anon is reciting the documentary correctly, the meme pic has little to with the stuff he posted.

>>3786571
And??????

You and I could be drawing something right now.

>>3786571
>Thinks design is a matter of personal taste and not function requirements.

NGMI

>>3787287
This is the fundamental problem of /ic/. I've seen artist here get great at anatomy and construction, but then never improve because they can't finish anything or just write off rendering all together.

Also once you stop judging everyone's art based on anatomy and perspective, you are able to see why their works connect with people even if you don't like it. Ive found that its made me less critical of myself, and has allowed me to get back up after failing and not be afraid to challenge myself.

>>3786571

Looks like a chaos cultist fell into a laboratory and had two hornets attach themselves to the back of her head with the resulting shock to the system turning her away from chaos.

>>3789732
Not him but as far as connecting with normies goes it is not about your skill as a draftsman rather it is all about the content you are pandering to them and they will gobble it up regardless of your skill.
