Principles of Problematic Character Design, the First

Disparate Stylization

The tendency of artists to keep female characters close to idealized human proportions, even when male characters’ proportions are dramatically stylized.

Oop! Wrong again feminist!Tumblr. ( I know you always have /some/ sort of complaint, but still.) All these different characters represent a variant body type for women and I even didn’t delve into the villain section. A lot of these girls are comic relief too to boot.

Its not a deficiency in /character design/. Its just safe marketing. The less the female body type is warped the safer it is to put on TV. You won’t get any complaints from women about an insult to the female body and you won’t have a high percentage of males getting bored because of a lack of aesthetic appeal.

I find it funny though, that these girls didn’t even occur to anyone, /because/ they’re out of proportion in places. So, you see my point.

welcome to character design 101, where six instances where it hasn’t happened don’t change the fact that disparate stylization does happen and it doesn’t matter because here we (in spite of the rather broad url) largely talk about video games

Glenn Keane said that Pocahontas was one of his more difficult characters because she required a lot of subtlety, which, in animation, is difficult to accomplish. He definitely got that subtlety in the movie.

dimitriishere:

A selection of incredible portraits from photographer Charles Fréger’s collection and book Wilder Mann, documenting the ancient pagan rites still being practiced throughout Europe today.

From the New York Times Lens blog:

About 10,000 years ago, humans began domesticating wild animals for both food and companionship. Over the course of centuries, animal species were bred for traits that made them docile and more useful to their masters. But as humans changed and fenced in animals, they were also domesticating themselves. The skills needed to survive in the wild were different than those needed to succeed in more complex social arrangements.

Mr Fréger was intrigued by the transformations of human being to beast that he witnessed in 18 European countries. They were, he said, celebrations of fertility, life and death and symbolized the complicated relationship between mankind and nature.

Sorry this was so darn long D:. tried to make it as short as possible. I’ve been asked quite a few times on how I paint before now, and I’ve never made an actual tutorial until now. Hope this helps clear some stuff up :).

Painting tutorial: get some fucking oil paints and fucking paint on some canvas you bunch of bastards

….what is wrong with you?

here, I do oil paintings too (this is unfinished):

It’s great to do traditional, but there’s nothing wrong with digital, and there are ups and downs to both mediums, so sit your ass down, and if you don’t want to learn this, then leave it for those who want to learn digital mediums.

Its one thing if you don’t think I did a good tutorial, it’s entirely another thing if you think painting traditionally is better than painting digitally, just because it’s being painted traditionally, and that’s just not on, and I’m tired of seeing this nonsense.

They said Qinni won the game. Also traditional art costs a lot more than digital art in term of tools, canvases and materials in general.

Hey Anon! I’m happy that someone noticed that and mentions it <3

My project Marrow Gates is basically about horrifying and creepy things, mystery and crime, ghosts and creatures.
With the use of a higher greyscale in my drawings I try to create a more gloomier mood.
Especially when it comes to Risto I try to avoid bright and vibrant colors to emphasize his charater traits and the mood of the situations/scenes he appears in. (With giving him a greyish skintone I also somehow want to show that is not a human being. haha!)

Ahhhh I wish I could play with colours like that. Mood lighting is seriously the best thing ever… Gosh.

That being said though, I personally rather miss the old Risto sometimes, I really liked him a lot a while back, around the time where colourful ties and a healthy skin tone were still pretty common on him :’> I understand the progression though, wowa
