That guy could be wearing basic knight armour and still look like a gently caress head if his weapon of choice is a giant plastic pizza cutter.

Cicadas! posted:Additionally, I would argue that while the Owlcher has some elements that may muddle the main idea a bit, (the glasses markings, drawstring hoodie, and smart bowtie make it look more like a student than an archer) it works together well enough as a whole that it can be considered a cohesive design. It is not overdesigned. It would look much better if it lost at least the random head feather (which doesn't look like any of its actual feathers so it's just different for the sake of making it look messier), the dumb strings, the ugly chest cross, the white spots all over, and the random triangles. The designer should have put the pencil down about five or six steps before they actually did. Those extra additions only deter from the design and cohesion. It's the definition of overdesigned: Cicadas! posted:Hello, no. A character being overdesigned means that there are an abundance of disparate and mostly unrelated ideas present in their design that don't add anything constructive to the main concept beyond cheap flash. In other words, "trying to do too way many things at once and failing at all of them."

Oh my god whoever Luso is he looks like an art project where you just have to add SOMETHING everyday. Until the character is just a throbbing pile of trinkets.

Bowser has too many spikes and is therefore overdesigned

Lets look at what were talking about. Its: 1. An owl. 2. With a hood (AND STRINGS) 3. A cross 4. A head feather 5. Triangles and stylistic designs like the white dots on the back of the wing and the white stripes at the tips. TOO MANY ELEMENTS LOOK THERE'S LIKE 5 THINGS AT ONCE!!!!!! If you don't count the triangle/pattern poo poo, there's like 4 things going on here. And I don't count those basic designs because owls literally have patterns on them in real life. So unless your'e going to tell me nature over designed owls I think you're objectively wrong here. Space T Rex fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Sep 19, 2016 |

i don't like the owl thing but its not because its "overdesigned", it's not and looks fine standing next to poo poo like Venasaur (a giant turtlesaur with a flower, some ferns, vines, and patterns all over its body, v overdesigned i m o) or sceptile (bipedal lizard with tree growing out of its butt, also with stripes on its belly, bulbs on its neck, and leaf bracers, good lord cut back on the belts and zippers there gamefreak)

The only Pokémon I'd consider "overdesigned" would be Mega Sharpedo, and that's more needlessly busy more than anything. To go in the opposite direction, which Pokémon do you wish had more elements to their design? I want to like Beartic, but he's criminally bland for my taste.

Having a lot of detail isn't the same as having a lot of design elements. Check out how nearly everything on Armaldo is the same shape.

Color choice is also a big part of design unity. Both Owlcher and Armaldo have like 5 colors, tops, and the colors are equally distributed throughout the design's elements in a tasteful manner. Contrast this with poster boy Luso, who is a walking, jangly rainbow with no harmony and numerous one-off colors.

I wish he would be in his standing pose which looks so much better.  Oh, and speaking of great idle poses that are sadly absent recently...

Sorry but whatever pokemon you're talking about I have written out of my reality, please do not bring it upon again I am very sensitive thank you. No body knows why evolite works with Lickitung but I welcome the glitch.

Reshiram is probably the most "overdesigned" pokemon, in my book. Confusing protrusions everywhere making its silhouette hard to read, too much contrast in it's implied texture (smooth bands, furry torso, silky hair), a generally unappealing body shape that forces it into that awkward arms-up pose. Also it got a dingus

when i see someone write that a pokeman is too busy or overly complicated, i imagine the poster is a grandfather posting via fax modem. Omastar and Kabutops are the same as their basic form with extra POWER FINS and POINTY BITS from gen one. go take your prune juice, dad
