Been Really Into An Art Aesthetic I Call Shitcore

The visuals of Arcane are amazing, but the one personal nitpick I have of them is that they seem to play by the opposite of anime rules. You know how in any screenshot of an anime (not all of them, but a lot of them), you can immediately tell who the main character is because they have the lost interesting (or at least weirdest) character design, like this?

In Arcane, it's the opposite. The most interesting designs are often reserved for characters who never have speaking lines, exist for one scene, or who have a short arc and then end up dying. It's like the further away you get from main character status, the more interesting your character design gets. It's not like the designs of the main characters are BAD, mind you, I think not every character design has to be elaborate to be good and I love several of them, but it's always kind of a pity when an amazing character design appears and you know you're only going to see them for five seconds.

Particularly I'm thinking of the councillors and the chembarons, that guy with the gold jaw, transgender cat lady, fish guy, and probably some others I forgot. I hope in future arcane shows the character designs get weirder, because if they pushed it enough I think we could end up with the wildest cast of characters of all time.

The thing about modern mascot/cartoon animal design is you could never create another scooby doo. They would tell you to smooth him out and give him bigger eyes and simplify his design so he's easier to turn into a marketable plushie

Kissing Kahless

I had a sudden vision: two psychics burdened with prophetic visions who illustrate what they see in their chosen mediums. Yves paints exclusively in blue, while Tim's tool of choice is a ballpoint pen. Yves' technical skill far surpasses Tim's, as someone said to have been born a prodigy, but Tim finds that art soothes his endless anxiety and as such enjoys art much more than Yves does and is much less prone to artist's block. One day they both have visions of the end of the world, and so it's up to them to figure out what happens and how to stop it. Also, Tim has a massive and painfully obvious crush on Yves, but Yves is far too jealous of Tim's quick improvement to realise it.
