Is this a good character design?

[Anonymous No.6890582]

>>6890387
I think it's good. I especially like how her hair stands out from the rest of the color palette but at the same time it's not so much that it feels like an eye strain.

[Anonymous No.6890584]

>>6890387
I don't like it, It's too complicated. All I see is noise. Interesting noise, granted, but still noise.
I feel like you could achieve the same appeal with much less. Less is more.

[Anonymous No.6890591]

>>6890387
I don't care for 2 toned hair. The eye color doesn't work well with the hair colors. The bottom half of the character doesn't really match well with the top half, and the skirt/leggings seems out of place. The armor itself has too many flourishes. A warrior type wearing high heals is dumb. There is just too much going on with it. It's a cute girl and i can see her crotch, so 10/10.

Considering she was literally designed by Kozaki's niece or something, or some young girl of one of the staff I can't remember - then no. Everyone laughed at her back then and she should still be laughed at today. Get fuckt, Perifags.

It might just be the pose and facial expression they chose to use. It makes her looks very self assured and focused. The colors and and fashion choice fit her well. But at least in that scene she acts like she is 4 years old.

>good design is when [character] looks [character]'s personality
I'm kind of sick of this idea incidentally. A bad design is a bad design. It's cool if you're going for some Incredibles/Pixar shape design type stuff, but that isn't always the ideal for every work or even every character in a work.
You should be able to just look at a given design and say it's tacky and bad, regardless of it "shows character," with few exceptions.

[Anonymous No.6890645]

>>6890642
It's tacky and bad and has too many clashing elements. But what if that is intentional? Can a design be good at being a bad design, thus making it a good design?

There's an artistic way to do anything. You can convey "psycho edgy womanchild" without dipping into DeviantArt OC design tropes. Now of course there are no hard and fast rules, but this a good default position.
It's kind of like how Tumblr artists are actually really bad at designing ugly characters, despite drawing them so often. If you designed a goblin-type character using the tropes of pic related, it would be ACTUALLY disgusting, like too disgusting to even enjoy. Instead a good artists would might aim for the grotesque, the deformed, not necessarily disease stricken and speckled by acne.
>>6890653
No, people just judge you based on appearances, sometimes accurately, but no one dresses the same way all the time. To the point we have a cliche, "you can't judge a book by its cover." You think lawyers never slob out?
Anyway it's not an argument for fictional work, because fiction and art are not beholden to the rules of real life. I'm only saying a design shouldn't automatically get a pass because it "conveys character."

This is actually very tame for anime bicycle shorts and the device does not look like a pleasure toy.

You're being cartoonishly extreme to make a point, barely anyone dresses like

outside of your cultural bogeyman. Yeah you can find loose fitted clothing, and other dumb fashion trends, but everybody dresses differently based on the social context and no one is just 1 personality trait. Everyone dresses down at Walmart. This is a rich and famous actress.
My point again, is that thinking like you're designing some vtuber where the characters quite literally wear their personality on their sleeve is limited, and there's more to design than a looks-match-personality check.

It looks ridiculous to me but weebs love that stuff. So it really depends on the target audience and the story or world she is in. Something I can't fucking stand is when artists just draw what they think looks cool without any attempt to make a character that belongs in a world. So we end up with fucking Victorian maid outfits in a middle ages high fantasy story. Or a silly outfit on a character from a village where literally no one dresses the same as them. Because the artist wanted a special snowflake but they end up looking stupid and out of place because people always wear clothing like the culture they come from.

TL;DR yes if she's from a story where others wear similar knight uniforms and she isn't a special snowflake who is the only fucking one in those colors or armor design and a skirt.
