I admit that while I know he's very talented, puts in a lot of effort, is helpful to the others, his streams are chill and enjoyable, and the stuff he does in the Stars' Minecraft server are really nice, Astel's visual design is pretty off-putting to me. Still watch him though.

Some earlier anon suggested it's mostly that big bulky coat. I kind of see that since it conceals his figure and is exceptionally over-detailed, and his undershirt looks a lot sleeker and appealing with the starfield pattern.
However I think his hair alone is the major unappealing point with the several jagged yellow streaks. It's like if it were trying to evoke lightning (but it looks dumb just with how many streaks there are and how they're arrayed all around his hair) while at the same time maybe the six streaks are matching his little drone buddy that also has six legs. Similarly, the dark shade of blue and pale yellow streaks in his hair don't really feel like they go well together. Maybe if the blue were an equally lighter/paler shade or the streaks were a deep rich orange... or if he simply had fewer than six yellow streaks in a different arrangement...
In general, it is a very noisy, overdesigned look with a lot of small details and many different hues in his color scheme. Many fan artists probably take a look at it and nope the fuck out.
