@coolboymew genuinely, i am in awe of the design. it brings to mind the great work in alchemy, the unification of both positive masculine and positive feminine aspects into a single being. not because the design does that, but because the design does the opposite
there is nothing sexy or cute about this design. it wholly lacks feminine charm. it does not make me want to protect it, it does not make me want to seduce it, it does not being joy when i look at it. there is not a single aspect of this design that has any of the positive aspects of femininity. nothing about it capture the unique ways a woman can be enjoyable to be around
simultaneously, it isn't cool. there's nothing inspirationally masculine about it. there's no muscle, no hint of strength, no sense of courage or vague sense of holding to a duty, nothing that a young boy would look up to and want to be. with the scrawny design and the nearly balding hairline, it captures the aura of a contemptibly weak male
just looking at this character makes me angry, and i am not joking. i want to kill this character off the visuals alone. you know how you're instinctively disgusted by roaches and want them gone? i feel that way towards this character design. genuinely incredible. i don't think i've seen a single anime design that managed to provoke me like this
Oh, talking of her, wanted to show Jones the ONE artist that was born to draw her. Ban! already draws the hair super square, so his art style was perfect for her
