This floating helper droid is the newest International Space Station crew member (and also my new best friend (in my heart)).

And thus we’re officially living in a real-life sci-fi

callout post to my storyboard prof for calling caterpillars ugly in her book

That alien and caterpillar = cutest things I’ve seen today Those big eyed mammals? = I wouldn’t trust ‘em for a SECOND

This is so rude.

this reminds me of when my animation teacher started talking about ‘inherently female’ face-construction and he;s mostly a cool dude but i stg I was just screaming silently starin’ at him

Can whichever @badcharacterdesign mod originally posted this tell this professor that the bug on the right is the cutest and most personality-filled thing in that diagram and that they should feel bad for calling it ugly?

And, I wonder how much of this professor’s sort of bad/wrong thinking is pervasive enough in the industry to be why so many character designs end up so much blandern when finalized by higher-ups or taken through several series iterations…

“ And, I wonder how much of this professor’s sort of bad/wrong thinking is pervasive enough in the industry ”

Extremely. Animation and design school is absolutely polluted with a “MORE HUMAN = MORE CUTE” mentality and it is exactly how we end up with many of the most abhorrent nightmares showcased by badcharacterdesign. There were even people at Pixar who tried to give Wall-E a mouth and a nose because that’s how they were taught.

This issue even spills out of the animation/art world and into robotics. The reason someone even coined the concept of the “uncanny valley” is because the people designing androids were often under the same clueless “MAKE IT MORE HUMAN” thinking and had to be told with a psychological study and a diagram that, no, making it more human is actually really creepy and people actually identify very well with totally nonhuman faces.
