>>112394611. Strong silhouettes, wardrobes that clearly gave a sense of each character’s personality, and all while making them visually appealing with color palettes that bounced off of each other.
>>>/trash/27586601 is another show that did this well. I especially liked the subtle differences between Dipper and Mabel that still ultimately registered them as near identical twins, but with opposite identities.
If you wanna see a show with weak character design, try Big City Greens. It’s crazy that Chris Houghton (the co-creator) and Ali Danesh (lead character designer) BOTH came from designing GF characters, yet they seem to have dropped all of the design tips that Joe Pitt must’ve taught them. The rainbow skin tones can’t hide the fact that BCG’s characters have incredibly simplistic outfits and very weak silhouettes.
