When you’re too stupid to realize this is how character design works:
For this example you chose Shion and Anran. Two characters who present themselves as fierce, strong, and capable
- Their eyes are nearly identical because sharper eye shapes are a standard design tool used to communicate confidence, intensity, and strength
- Their stronger brows help reinforce that same sense of competence and authority
- Their more defined jawlines aren’t some accident; they’re there because sharper facial structure is commonly used to make a character look more formidable and self-assured
- Hell to even add to it their nose bridges are more defined and outlined, which adds structure to the face and helps create a more mature, serious, and commanding appearance
You understand why you couldn’t use Juno as an example?
Because Juno’s facial structure is supposed to make her look cute, approachable, and youthful
- Softer cheeks
- Rounder eyes
- Less emphasis of the bridge of her nose
Different visual goals require different facial features
You’re criticizing the design without understanding the purpose of the design choices. Sharper eyes, stronger brows, and more defined jawlines are standard visual tools used to communicate strength, confidence, and competence. That’s why these two characters share those traits.
How are you gonna attempt to critique something when you DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND what you’re criticizing?
fuck yeah we're hitting the same characters' syndrome WITH OMNICS NOW
