Yeah why not, it's a pretty simple design and you can draw it as, say, chibi while keeping it recognizable

>>3460966
You could have just asked for good character design OP, you don't need to bait.

>iconic, stylish, memorable
yeah, its pretty good

>le garterbelt
anime meme garbage

>>3460978
I come to these threads just to see the Dunning-Kruegers like you. Thanks :^)

>Is this a good character design?

If you want to sell games to horny kids with an S/M fetish then it's great.

>good character design

>>3460966

Are you TRYING to make me like 3dpd again?

Yev's stuff is shit. He knows what to do to get better, but he doesn't do it. The only thing keeping him back is himself.

A lot of people believe a good silhouette is key, along with some visual prominent shapes that easily identify a character. Color palette is very useful too.

>>3461623
A couple of very famous costume designers follow the same concept, so it probably has merit.

>>3460994
Literally who ?

>>3461623
Better than the original

>>3461771
/beg/ tier anime weeb named Yev that's who. A year has passed and no improvement at all. Has shitty knowledge of anatomy. Always ask people how to get better, but always finds an excuse to not follow the advice.
"Yev you should do figure drawing"
"Maybe tomorrow I drew a lot today and my hand hurts"
3 months past. he still doesn't do it and he still comes back and ask how to get better.

>>3461623
I don't understand the good silhouette thing
You only recognize the silhouette if the character is very popular or if the pose is iconic

>>3461126
This is bad

>>3461832
That's why those characters are good character design.

Samurai shodown has probably my favourite characters ever

>>3461832
It's about the silhouette being unique, and you being able to get some sense of them from it. Someone posted all the tf2 hats tees silhouetted in another thread and it highlighted the point perfectly

>>3461849
Characters not hat tees

>>3461841
Ryuk is OC-DA edgy tier and yet his silhouette is recognizable because the show he's in is very popular
Saber could be in any clothes and be recognized by anyone from hair and the ahoge because she's popular.
There's more than plenty of characters with unique silhouette and yet that doesn't mean they are good.
Surely it plays a part but that only doesn't make a good character design

>>3461880
i think ryuk's design works. edgy has its place, and i think with a demon who actually is edgy in the anime i dont see an issue. this is pretty standard anime design and it works desu.

obviously though, the sillhouette rule doesnt apply to every design, it's just one thing that tells you you're going in the right direction, it isn't the defining factor of whether a design is good.

>>3461880

It's odd that for a design so edgy he's basically the least edgy character in the show

>>3461841
It's bullshit though, of course you're going to recognize Mickey, it's Mickey. It's confirmation bias at its peak

>>3460971
>Draw a girl call it a boy
Truly the pinnacle of character design

>>3462193
you are right, in a world of crazy minds he was the single one wanting to simply have fun

>>3461849
this but dota
all the characters are designed to have a very unique silhouette from top down angle

>>3460966
This kind of mentality is why you're never gonna make it. If there was a cookie cutter solution to what is or isn't good design and if the standard could be applied across all existing and future media then designers would be out of a job real quick.
"is this a good character design?" well it depends on what it was designed for. What's the product; what's the character's place in it and who is it for? it depends on a lot of things, none of them being "do you like the character?".
Give the right circumstances, a literal stick figure could be good character design.

tl;dr you're never gonna make it kid. You don't have the innate capacity to think like an artist.

>>3461623
None of these are absolute truths.

>>3461123
Sauce

>>3460971
Not memorable. Nice color scheme though.

>>3461623
How did SF go from one of the best looking franchises of all time to the ugly mess it is today

Is this the power of 3D

>>3460966
Yes
Its a great character design

>>3462286
>>3460966
Dota 2 has pretty good character designs

>>3462408
Valve has some of the best artists in media period

>>3462408
no

>ninja elf girl with cherry blossoms motif
lol ok

You're autistic

>>3461114
Based. However you are anon, I feel like we'd agree on a lot of things.

>>3462428
you are

>>3462425
>>3462417
post good design then

>>3461851
>TF2
>not hat tees

Are you SURE

This for example.

>>3462441
Not that guy, but I always thought Soul Calibur 3 had the best iteration of the classic SC characters

>>3462463
also best Sieg

These two are top tier

>>3462425
but why is that bad?

>>3462478
Bland colors, shit safe concepts. Hugly.

is she the most iconic anime girl of all time?

>>3462316

Gurren lagann's cast.

>>3461838
Shut up

>>3462408
Honestly this. While some aren't really impressive or aesthetically "good", all are distinct, and the animations and sound design reflect that. Some of my favourites would be tidehunter, the 3 spirit bros, axe, and winter wyvern.

>>3463032
you shut up gaylord

>>3463304

Does anyone have the original without the mspaint doodle? Looks like some kind of anime background art, I assume

>>3461832

It's about how human perception works, we take in everything in the order of big to small basically.

>>3462383
outsourcing, braindrain from when the company used to be good, and a shoestring budget

>>3462286
These are all completely indistinguishable and none of them stand out if you dont play dota, I agree with this anon
>>3461880

>>3462447
i want the old garfield back

>>3463945
Actually, i take that back, its retarded to say that theyre indistinguishable but they dont stand out

>>3463955
They are all kinda the same big dude with different weapons
