Why are character designs such crap nowadays?
anime and calarts combined
>>79812397
these examples are actually really good.
You should have posted Adventure Time or Stephen "sissification" universe
>>79812559
How long did it take you to come up with that one anon?
>>79812559
You mean "Steven Sissyverse"?
>>79812559
>Look ma! I posted the meme again!
>Simple=bad
It's an improvement if you ask me. How did you watch that ugly shit on the left?
>>79812496
Hey look it's that meme
>>79812679
>>79812642
>oh no I'm /triggered
>better scream "MEME"
>>79812496
> Is considered le best animation school
> Lets Pendleton Ward and Tim Burton in
>>79812696
You can tell when someone is triggered when they resort to greentext and a reaction image
>>79812559
dank may-may
>>79812696
But it really is.
>>79812496
Anime has vastly superior designs and animation than the west though.
You can dislike the writing of TTG all you want but to deny that it has a very strong visual style is just lying to yourself
>>79812908
Powerpuff girls were circles; no fingers, no hands, etc.
Bloo was a half oval.
Take off the nostalgia goggles.
>>79812938
>Strong visual style.
>TTG
A monkey making pictures with his shit is way better visuals.
>>79813155
>bloo and pgg are representative of the character designs of their shows
toppkek
>>79812938
Have standards really fallen so low as to put TTG as having a "strong visual style"?
>>79812938
Yeah like graphic design simple and loud
>>79812908
And the west had far superior designs before it was influenced by anime. What's your point?
>>79813460
niceme.me
The west was never superior.
>>79812908
Anime was influenced by the west

>>79813679
And it surpassed it.
>>79813409
The animation is the exact same as the Mickey Mouse shorts going up these days
>>79813727
And that was 80 years ago.
These "artists" have skipped observational/gesture drawing. They learn from Christopher Hart, not Loomis. They never learned how the body works. That is why a game like MGS which came out in 1998 could make people look like people and run them through animation.Yoji Shinkawa is an artist; Skylar Page is a hack.

"Well that's a video game."
Yeah, and it looked better on a toaster than half the shows today.
TeenTitans had awful designs, you must be under 25
>>79813727
wow you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
>>79813709
Fuck off back to /a/ with this shit weeb, seriously
>>79812397
>Action toon on left.
>Comedy toon on right.
Imagining TTG with the original designs sounds horrible.
>>79814138
Truth can sometimes hurt I know.
>>79814152
Teen Titans didn't even have typical action cartoon design, it had french/canadian tier poser anime design
>>79813995
> Christopher Hart sucks
Wtf are you talking about?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz3nXQM4DZo
GOD FUCKING DAMN YOU GUYS SUMMONED THE MOEPHOBIC GUY
>>79814302
Is that the same Christopher Hart that makes godawful how to draw manga books?
>>79812397
easier to animate. it's not rocket science
>>79814483
yep
>>79814302
>>79814483
>>79814743
so he just sucks at drawing animoo style then

>120 people can work on TT with sufficient skill/ability ++++$animation
vs
>680 people can work on TTG with sufficient skill/ability +$animation
They are still good designs but TTG is just something that needs to be touched and worked by more people, while saving more money.
Adventure Time and similar simple designs started a new trend that hasn't saves as much money and time as the original Hanna-Barbera age of limited animation. Do you want a still image with a moving background and waggling legs back?
>>79814152
>non-cartoony designs can't be funny
>>>79814573
People always use this excuse but in an ironic fashion the simpler a show's design is, the worse the animation is.
This isn't the golden age when you had true OG niggas drawing several frames of a character every day and had to be sure you didn't make mistakes and that everything is smooth and proportionate, today it's CalArts faggots who send their shit off to Koreans who barely make the characters move
I don't think the character design is anywhere near as bad as the "humor".
>>79814897
Certain designs work for certain types of humor. TTG's brand of humor would not work with the 2003 art style.
Are you seriously saying you'd like TTG if all they did was use the 2003 art style?
>>79812397
>Implying Teen Titans (2002) had good designs
top kek
>>79814897
You're my motherfucking nigga.
>>79815048
Last Airbender was one of the funniest shows I've seen. Yes it had heart and action, but I've never laughed louder or harder at an animated show for children. The designs were dope.
>>79815165
Better than TTG
>>79814892
I'm a retard. Can you explain how moving characters on a computer that are drawn shitty is cheaper than putting a little more effort into it. If people learned to draw and didn't ship their shit overseas, would that be cheaper?
>>79812397
>Why are character designs such crap nowadays?
Because Canadians suck at drawing anime.
>>79815048
>TTG's brand of humor would not work with the 2003 art style.
Explain.
>Are you seriously saying you'd like TTG if all they did was use the 2003 art style?
I'd rather they use the New Teen Titans style from the DC Nation shorts but yes I'd like TTG a little more if it had better designs and animation
>>79815447
Are you seriously saying Last Airbender's brand of humor is equivalent to TTG?
Not better or worse, but as in the same kind of physical and verbal humor?
>>79814897
>The golden age.
You mean when toons were made as theatrical shorts instead of TV series? Remember that even Hanna-Barbara cheaped out when they went from Tom and Jerry to Yogi Bear
>>79815627
TTG is alot more active and surreal with its physical humor and alot more cynical with both physical and verbal humor. It's a very different beast from the humor that even the New Titans shorts did.
>but yes I'd like TTG a little more if it had better designs and animation
Is like a little more meaning you'd still hate it while appreciating the different art direction, or would you seriously do a 180 on the show just because it caters to your nostalgia better? If the former, whatever but if the latter, you're superficial as fuck.
>>79815681
When I say golden age I'm obviously talking about the Golden Age of Animation which doesn't include tv.
>Hanna-Barbara cheaped out when they went from Tom and Jerry to Yogi Bear
They saved animation by doing that. Giving those cartoonists jobs when people lost interest in theatrical cartoons.
Plus an early HB cartoon is more visually stimulating than TTG or other flash cartoons.
>>79817316
And that golden age will never come back because animation is made for TV first with TV budgets.
>Plus an early HB cartoon is more visually stimulating than TTG or other flash cartoons.
You like art style way too damn much. HB toons were fucking Family Guy tier in terms of animation, but worse.
>>79812397
I remember back when regular teen titans was airing people would not stop trashing it. Calling it anime garbage and other names you can probably guess.
And now it's being held up on a pedestal
Simple isn't bad. The designs are fine. You may not like the style, but the designs are fine.
>>79812944
Both seem equally distinct and diverse.
not sure why you're comparing the batman to whatever bottom is supposed to be...
