Someone should redesign all her gay trans boys to be straight women.

So making them fan art?

One shitty photo edit later, here's my redesign of the Asgore lookalike druid

 

[BoobWhiskers]

Reading a little more into it, the characters from the first lineup are DnD characters.

Rest in absolute piss to anyone else in the party when they have to pass a collective sneak check.

Edit: the more I think about these being d&d characters the more irritated I get. Call me old-fashioned (I know current year d&d/d&daboos/CritRole-fans gives absolutely no fucks about anything and they're playing with source material that has shit like literal clown world), but D&D characters should be like, the HEIGHT of practical design.

D&D characters are adventurers. They're travelers. They have gear and armor tailored specifically to the class they play, everything from a druid not being able to wear metal for religious reasons to a wizard needing places to store all the reagents they use for their spells. If they're any kind of melee (and often even if they're not) they carry weapons. Supplies. Don't wanna starve to death or get lost in a dungeon you'd better be carrying rations and water, and stuff like lanterns or torches, rope, chalk, all those practical items that are gonna keep you alive. If you're a cleric I hope you have a religious icon if you want to cast spells. A wizard better have their spellbook. All these characters look like they were designed to be cast as cheap, gaudy plastic toys; where's the wear and tear from the encounters you're having literally every session? A party is 9 times out of ten professional monster slayers and lord knows they should show it. How are you gonna go tarding around out in the wilderness wearing Party America raffia and pastel pink and not freeze to death or get eaten by every monster in a hundred yard radius? What are half of these even supposed to BE, god knows every character is a game of 'I'm gonna play a gay tiefling or the most snowflakey race I can find' now that there's no level adjustment but jesus christ.

This is so much worse if these are D&D characters. I assumed these were supposed to be like, an exercise in designing for animation aimed at ages 5-10/Nick Jr./Disney Kids so hearing that these are not only serious characters but D&D of all things just... gets me.

Given how much she loves to draw fat people I wouldn't be surprised if she secretly has a fetish for it

Fuck you, I do what I want and they love each other very much.

Another redesign, this time it's the triton from her DnD cast. Put a tiny bit more effort into this one (mostly since the original was just... good god)

Is that Undyne?

Jesus christ, she was so determined to make the original's top into a manwhore stripper shirt than I didn't even realize that it was supposed to be chainmail. I know it's pretty readily apparent that she doesn't put any research into functionality for her designs, but having at least the most basic understanding that chainmail with links big enough to put a fist through isn't helpful at all would be nice.

...if she just wanted him to look like a hoe, the option to use literal fishnet was right there.

 

[Neoguri Ramyun]

Honestly his art reminds me of that one cursed Nick Cartoon which I forgot the name, but I remember that cartoon is from 2020 and is about a boy, horse with star mark (Horsetaro flashbacks) and someone else. If someone remembers this please write . and Gay Porn games Ad on Myreadingmanga with Dream Daddy influence

INFO: I found the show !
The show is Dorg Van Dango and this looks like this. Especially the horse one

Spoiler: horse with star mark= Horsetaro flashbacks

Also, funny how she gives Hazbin shit for for it's character designs

Yet, take a good look at some of her own characters. Look at how much detail and clutter are in these designs All those belts, buckles, tassels, and random accessories. Doesn't exactly scream "animator friendly" to me.

Even ignoring the detailing, she doesn’t even follow her own criticism regarding silhouettes (although the whole "recognizeable silhouette" thing is poorly understood by a ton of people since it’s misquoted as being about overall design rather than legible posing, but I digress) since she re-uses so many of the same body types, face shapes, and design across multiple characters that any individual design that could potentially be unique is drowned out in these crowd shots.

There’s sone legitimate criticisms that can be said about HH’s color theory, sure, but to say that the character designs are too complicated to animate - and comparing them to the likes of Minions or Mario of all things - is just laughable. There have been plenty of characters with semi-complicated designs that still manage to be well-animated; and considering Juli’s obvious anime influence she should really know better.

Especially because, you know... they've been animated.

 

[ultimate trash]

I don't like the "designs are too complicated to animate" argument because, and I'm gonna sound like a weeb, anime. A lot of designs in anime are complicated but they're animated anyways.

Agree, it's just Myers puts unecessary details to every character she creates, less is more kids.

I’m willing to give most D&D character designs some leeway, and a healthy suspension of disbelief in general, because even the early editions of the official books took the same artistic liberties with their illustrations and in some clearly drew influence from sources like the Heavy Metal magazine or Frank Frazetta paintings. I think sometimes people forget that fantasy draws on more than just real world history, and there’s nothing wrong with invoking those non-historical elements if they fit in with the overall tone and the characterization you’re trying to get across.

Juli’s problem is that she has no grasp on the basics and is trying to invoke completely contradictory elements between the poorly attempted anime proportions, cartoonish hair swirls, and fetishistic bimbofied musculature. For all the bells a whistles, they don’t really give you any insight of what the characters are like except for maybe surface level one-worded descriptors like “ditz” or “stoned” or “prick.”

I can't believe she made the top in the original chainmail and not, y'know, SCALEmail considering a. that's what it looks like in the drawing and b. the fish pun. This is your brain on yaoi I guess.

 

[Sì.]

I'm also very bothered by the fact that one, this edgelord cut off his own hand on purpose just to put a trident hook there, and two, it's apparently his boots that are arrogant and cruel.

The real kicker is that according to the character page this guy’s supposed to be some sort of swashbuckling sorcerer pirate captain who either gave himself the nickname “The Pirate Prince” that nobody recognizes or puts out a whole lot of bravado to compensate for the fact that he’s a spell caster and therefore can’t take a punch.

None of which is discernible from that design at all.

Honestly, this guy looks more like a barbarian or warrior. If this were a sorcerer, he'd be carrying a wand or a staff instead of a melee weapon (unless it's just for show, which I'd like to believe)
