Bad character Redesign thread - redesigning characters you think look terrible

[Fascist Ferret]

Why? They do nothing.

i mean, they would probably make glasses for her that are resistant to her quirk. they make costumes based on the wearer's quirks.

I really don't care to spend more than a few minutes on this so here ya go. I'm not bothering with the stripes/color cuz fuck it. Just make him less eye searing and it'll be fine.

wait, so the character is a human now? why ? ): i do agree though that the original design is too sharp and oddly slanted.

Mostly laziness and having to work in about five hours. Also I just don't really like the extra arms and spider/not spider/whatever thing he has going on since it's just a holdover from his original cooler design that got simplified for the actual pilot.

i have a hard time enjoying any of the character designs from hazbin. while the art isn't bad, it just hurts to look at when it's in motion. if a character has 500 million details, that's cool for a still painting i guess. but if its an animation, all those details are just a burden for the viewer to look at. i only watched the pilot once and it gave me a headache with all the constant unnecessary movement and detail.

i actually like characters that are monster-like and have multiple limbs, but i couldn't even enjoy it on this character unfortunately.

Why? They do nothing.

i guess you could ask the same thing about the jacket she wears. it doesnt really serve any functional purpose, it's just there to look cool/make the character stand out. sometimes with character design there's two options: what are the functional purposes as to why the character wears this, and lets just have the character wear it because it looks neat and tells you something about their personality.

Bumping the thread with a Zero-Two redesign

made her look less like a generic sexy woman, and gave her more of a dinosaur/scalie theme.
All criticism is welcome.

Not gonna lie, wasn't there a part of the show where Zero Two saw that she was becoming more like a klaxosaur and broke every mirror in her room? I don't mean to be rude, but this redesign isn't very good and only emphasizes on the fact that she is in fact a klaxosaur and not somebody who wants to look almost as human as possible.


Yes, I watched the anime.

Reboot She-Ra.

Spoiler: My problems with it

The moon boots look weird, the torso is kind of boyish and the legs and torso also look just undersized in comparison to her arm and head proportions, but mainly this design and style are so unbelievably bland. It's like the artist was instructed to not give her any ugly features but to also make her not look actually visually appealing in any way. She-Ra herself doesn't look physically powerful or graceful or anything really. Her outfit is at once overly complicated and not distinctive looking in the least. My eyes wander all over it but don't focus on any one thing. And I hate this trend in western animation of very short, wide sword blades. On top of being completely impractical from a real sword perspective, it makes them look like children's toys, which is probably the point.

My Redesign:

I took some elements of her new design, and combined them with a lot of inspiration from her old design. It's simpler compared to the official design, and I tried to give her more of an aura of physical confidence, power, and grace. I might add a few more details and shading later. I dunno. Tell me what you think.

I redesigned the cum chalice supreme oc, ayano aishi.

 

[Mao Hao Hao]

So I decided to try redesigning the dinosaurs from that upcoming game 'Goodbye Volcano High'. As a lover of all things dinosaur, some of the designs in it are....troubling to put it mildly.
I decided to start with the easiest one of the main characters, Naomi. I assume that she is a parasaurolophus, as that matches her head crest and facial shape. There are only two pictures of her atm, and only one shows most of her full body.

I kept her clothing and markings the same for the redesign, as I didn't see anything wrong with them in relation to her character (rule-abiding student council member), but I did change some things (I absolutely failed at her other hand, so left it to be fixed later, if I decide to).

I changed up her glasses design, as the original ones I feel would have zero way of staying on her face due to both the roundness of her snout and the fact she wouldn't have human ears with the lobes etc to hang glasses off from. I removed the human hair, as yes, some dinosaurs had feathers which would allow for something akin to hair, but parasaurs (and other duck-billed species) did not. Plus the hair bothered me with how her crest just...popped out of it like a weird tumor. I curved her crest a bit more to both match the dinosaur and also remove how she looked too much like the pterodactyls in design.

I decided to make this recolor of Hikari Yagami/Kamiya into its own OC! Don't ask about her partner being Omedamon, it was a recommendation from a friend.

What is that color palette thing you do on the left, there? Are you picking colors from that, or is that like, every color you used in the drawing?

I usually collect around 4-5 palettes to reference for the finished design, experimenting if you will.

 

[CrystalRoserade]

May as well throw the redesign I did in here, too. Included original design, too.

And that someone is into Mpreg.

@Yukari Yakumo I found a couple

Spoiler: Bad Digimon ocs

She’s supposed to be Joe’s half sister (when it’s basically confirmed that he’s got 2 older brothers, both of them being decently older than most of the cast) and her crest is poison.

Monogato or at least that’s what I’m calling it

Tai ripoff that I might danganfy

Her and Krissy would be friends, you can take that headcanon out of my bloody fucking hands. She's also very adorable and I love her.

Saw an atrocious OC posted in the SJW art thread, so decided to do a quick redesign

Spoiler: original

What the fuck is this. The only way I could even begin to comprehend this creature was by turning it into a cow-catboy, so I did that

Spoiler: redesign

a quick redesign, hopefully this is better

That looks SO much better, especially now that his every space isn't filled with a random pattern.

For some reason, I really wanted to redesign this one. I tried to make her look similar to the original Digimon art-style but it's been a while since I drew some Digimon characters (mostly old OC's) and such. And I'm still not good at drawing actual digimons but I tried to redesign one of those too (he is mostly based off of one of my old digimon oc). Wanted to rewrite her backstory too, but this is a redraw thread so I focused on that mostly but if anyone's interested in that I can write one later.
