Why do American cartoons do this.

These designs are both shit, but the right one is less shit than the left one
Maybe it's laziness. Most of the time they're capable of drawing better designs, but perhaps it's cheaper to animate and market to kids if the designs are simpler. Less is more seems to be a recurring theme in this industry these years.
Animators hate working, they will do anything possible to get out of working or make their job easier.
Its not economically viable
It's actual laziness. Not even about the money, they just don't want to do the effort.
Victor and Valentino really does feel like the poster child of "soulless". Its concept could easily work and even be something great but instead it just feels slapped together. None of the characters are really likeable, Most of the episodes don't really sell the horror or monsters well or have a good atmosphere. And artwise it's not even visually distinct or appealing. It's a completely forgettable show.
But it's economically viable to fill the screen with as many crowd characters as possible, even if it means drawing them like mannequins in a boring straight up-and-down composition?
Likely to cut down on going off-model is the designs are simple and rigid.
This checks out, I forgot it existed until this thread.
The designs on the left aren't even that unviable. I mean it doesn't look any more intensive than something like Mao Mao or even early Steven Universe.
I'm telling you all it's just pure laziness. Most of the people animating the scenes are hyper lazy.
Probably this. The left designs are waaaaaaay too difficult for your average storyboard artist who is often a CalArts student that graduated two months ago or an internet hire who draws "really funny web comics".
The people animating it are Koreans that we don't make eye contact with and tell them what we want. We don't give a shit about what THEY want. Either they do the fucking job the Americans tell them, or we start outsourcing to Canada instead.
FPS, is their only advantage against their foreign competition
That's just how peridot is at all times though, dumb creature
Wrong opinion
so that's why his show is the biggest off model nightmare ever made
>Ignore all 12 principles of animation in your TV show
>"BUT IT HAS TO BE ON 2'S CAUSE THAT'S HOW ANIMATION IS DONE"
Industry makes no sense.
They do the job done with less resources
i fully agree with this, unfortunately it's a rule that needs to be mixed with discipline so you don't start getting lazy about it, but forcing multiple artists to hardline conform to a character being one way is very bland and boring.
yup
I still can't believe that episode, HOW do you fuck up THAT badly?
Oh my God, that's just horrifying, I see what they were going for, it was obviously meant to be chibi, but they fucked it up so bad.
That and have to think about what the drawing is supposed to accomplish. Like if you doing something that requires consistency then being on model is a must. But there's also lots of comics and cartoons where characters shift to fit the scene. In similar ways to how a dragonball character shifts quite a bit from when he's relaxing and when he's fighting.
I was curious how the concept art design would look like within the "constraints" of the show, but regardless of the result I'm glad it didn't get used, the show is boring as fuck and I might've been compelled to watch it if it looked good. Stories, writing, voices etc all awful, I'm usually a sucker for anything related to Mexican culture but the show doesn't have redeeming features and the concept art direction would've been wasted on it anyway.
It sucks that shows like OK KO and SU ruined the whole "off-model" idea for a lot of people and is now mocked, because the principle is a solid one for cartoony cartoons when executed well. But they were so atrocious at it, it didn't make people laugh, it just made them angry.
the japs think all jacked men are otter modes that look skinny when they wear loose clothes
>insecure artists who can't take criticism always shift blame onto the viewers
or we always get responses such as
>you're just jealous that someone who lacks the skill set to draw on model landed an industry gig!
When the people who bring up how terrible the off model designs are, aren't even artists to begin with. We just don't like low quality boarders who get to board important episodes. Remember how terrible Yellow's first appearance was?
>insecure artists who can't take criticism always shift blame onto the viewers
reminded me of pic related
Jesus man.
I REALLY like that png, thank you for posting user.
it's cheaper and faster to animate
This never fails to amuse me. The later season truly became cheaply made, I remember this scene looking like it was animated on PowerPoint
lel
This looks almost as bad as that one screenshot that was released of PPG vs ManBoy when it came out.
this one?
Yas Forumsntrarian
Yeah
Does anyone have that one screen cap where there's three different connies all in the same shot?
Requesting for interest, please follow through boys
Yep, that's the one. Thanks user.
i swear every cartoonist nowadays is either super proud of having gone to art school and learned basic ass tips like "use simple distinct shaped and limited palettes" on their first day, or is super proud of the fact that they knew it without NEEDING to go to art school
Good lord that is retarded, I can't believe how much of hacks they are.
Quads of destiny no joke, main.
But for real I don't understand how they don't know stuff like this intuitively, use your frickin brain, less is more.
The worst part is that is even more terrible in motion, the wheels don't even move and it feels they just too the PNG image of the car and moved it with premier. Adobe premier.
>connie, half middle asian, half some other black or brown ethnicity
>assuming she doesnt have like 5 other siblings
Jews hate aesthetic appeal and want whites to only consume grotesque garbage.
less is more, which is exactly WHY they do shit like this
u can know and utilize all the important art lessons in the world, but what good is it if u dont first and foremost have some TASTE
use ur eyes
>Grandma is in the car ordering everyone to find shelter
>Next shot she's on the ground looking up at the sky with everyone else
Good fucking lord man.
drink!
Both of her parents are Indian
Even when I first watched the show I thought Pendleton Ward's episodes looked awful, he always gave everything the same dazed expression
>"What's your name?"
>Premier. Adobe Premier.
i love connie's parents, bob and vageen
Two Sadie's as well. One on stage, the other in her work uniform above Nanefua.
Nah that's Sadie's mom, but by god would you believe it if I told you that in that frame there are TWO of Sadie's mom?!
I forgot to post, fuck.
Well yeah, if the bottom one is a shrunken Barb rather than Sadie then it's obvious that there are two Barbs.
