Waoling Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 It super cute and really versatile is make chubby character really cute, and you can add more style to it. Since DST style is very cute but generic you can add so much of your style in to it and make very cute character, I love seeing people add they own spin on DST style since they so much room to expand on.

Flarezen Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I always wanted to take a shot at making my own modded character for dst. I always love the style when I first started playing ds during 2013. I would like to create bug a character, mostly likely a spider. Always thought about making my own spider into a playable character. (I know webber exist, he is one my mains i play as) It give me a excuse to try sketching in dst style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I highly recommend people check out **** Deadeye or Duty Done by Bill Millendez and the work of Marc Davis(Haunted Mansion) to get a similar aesthetic to what Klei is achieving. The Victorian Gothic aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minespatch Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 It's German expressionist, like Tim Burton's Vincent. Heavily inspired by Ronald Searle and Edward Gorey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're small and silly and have quirky, cartoony animations. Some people find that cute. And anime? Only if you reduce anime to like, minimal facial structure and pointy chins.

minespatch Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 7 minutes ago, Faintly Macabre said: And anime? Toon. Yeah, no clue what Medic is talking about. Both Don't Starve and ONI have a simple upa type of art(Gerald McBoingboing, Mr Magoo). Retro with a German expressionistic flavor for Don't starve. I could see these characters dropped in 1960s advertising than "anime". Unless we're talking about Gegege no Kitaro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScalesForLife Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Maybe the new style whereas the OG one really kept that original Tim Burtonesque feel to it. I won't say that the new style is bad, heck, it's more comprehensible, but at the same time it's been shifted to suit a younger audience setting who like mild fantasy cartoony horror which has left me with a insatiable thirst for asymmetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you guys never looked closely at the animations in this game from word go? The running animation alone is hilariously silly. Silly to many people is cute. Quirky to many people is cute.

Just-guy Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I wouldn't say that it's cute, rather the game has a cartoony art style, Ghosts are the classic bedsheet ghosts, the characters have exagerated aspects (just look at Wilson's hair), many mobs and the characters get X's eyes when they die, mobs that are silly portmanteaus of two things and goofy dead animations from bosses like Moose/Goose, Malbatross and the Eye of Terror; the cartoony style is something that has remained on the franchise even after many years.

I like both styles tho i do wish they'd give more horrorfiying creatures like the horror hounds too to mix it up. The only "bad response" I ever saw was a mod that just made their textures normal. If there was any major backlash it somehow slipped completely underneath my radar. 5 hours ago, Faintly Macabre said: Regressed?

Animation style doesn't necessarily mean art style. I mean visually things look a lot fuller, rounder, smoother, more generally "friendly"... and I really don't like that direction. 5 hours ago, Faintly Macabre said: Do you have any idea how much Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise is sold to women?

Auth Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 14 minutes ago, Faintly Macabre said: lol, what? You cut out my entire explanation of my point, so I guess we're just caught on a misunderstanding. I mean that I'm fine with animations being silly, hell, the one man band is pretty much there just to look goofy, but I'm talking about the art and visuals themselves when I talk about the art style. The animation of recent trailers is actually really good, but the artwork itself of both in-game content and trailers is something I dislike. So. The way things are animated doesn't necessarily mean the art style, at least, in the context I was using. 17 minutes ago, Faintly Macabre said: Can't even hazard a guess? Yknow, I guess not.

Not to mention the characters curse several times. Or Spelunky 2 where you can impale your character on a pit of spikes with pools of blood, sacrifice enemy mobs to the goddess known as Kali and die in many gruesome ways. Why am I mentioning “It takes two”? and Spelunky 2? Because they share in the same teen rating DST has. Now because I don’t know how the ESRB rating system fully works I can’t say much else… But I will say that to hear DSTs Art/Direction being called “Cute” leaves me with a feeling of dread for the franchises inevitable future. It makes me sad.. honestly it feels quite heartbreaking- DS/DST was never meant to be “Cute” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
