Hi! I'm Wince! But if that doesn't sound like a name to you, I guess Winston works? (Winston isn't my name either) IDK I make stuff I guess. I also like stuff.

One of the things I do when making ii gijinkas is to incorporate the shape of the character's object into the human design. Instead of mentioning this every time I make a design detail thread, I will list all instances of this (so far) in this thread (🧵):
A lot of people have been talking about how Gretel's design in Hamster and Gretel feels uncanny, soulless, and emotionless. I tried to find the root cause as to why her design felt that way... And then I realized...
She just needed eyebrows!
@rottendevilman
People wonder how simmilar a genderbent character would be to the original, when in reality, it depends on the character and how susceptible they'd be to gender roles. I like the idea that some characters would be wildly different while others would be near identical
@AwestruckVox
I was literally gonna say "wow this kid is gonna be so shocked when he sees the lego part of the movie" BUT HE ANIMATED THAT PART HIMSELF!?
@offthem00n
I think what's worse is if every other lyric miraculously works for a character/scene but there's just one set of lyrics that you can't really match with it
@Citrusflower25
The funny one about this example is that the writer actually incorporated the fact his design was originally female into his backstory (he was raised as a girl until he realized that wasn't right for him and so he told his parents he's a guy and they said ok)
@Schaffrillas
I really wish the animation had thicker line art with the characters (the backgrounds are fine) Simmilar to far from the tree and paperman because it's really hard to see the lines from afar (plus I wish the shading was stylized like paperman too)
Eyebrows are one of the most important parts of forming expressions! Even the smallest change in them can cause a drastic difference! Because Gretel lacks eyebrows altogether, she is missing a key component of visually displaying emotions, thus she feels soulless.
@honeydewopal
I think what's really sad about Adult Swim cancelling this for being too dark is that they're perfectly fine with topics of SA when it's played for laughs(such as Ep 2 of moral orel), but as soon as its taken with the severity it deserves, suddenly its "too dark"
I do wanna mention that the soullessness that comes from a lack of eyebrows can be used effectively. Both ferb and perry lack eyebrows as doing so gives off this vacant, uncanny expression, which perfectly fits their characters.
@MrSnappyeagle
I get it when the eye is partially covered, but WHY would you draw the eye when it's COMPLETELY COVERED BY HAIR!!!! This doesn't make things more readable it's just obnoxious imo
@cozynosy_
@TheJakeneutron
I did NOT expect him to do that and I'm honestly really happy he did. I think Mat is learning from his previous blunders and I'm happy he's using his power responsibly. I'm just happy in general that fans are respecting Clown's boundaries for the most part
In fact, giving these characters eyebrows would actually make these designs feel uncanny as perry and ferb are not meant to be this expressive (Though phineas looks fine.) The difference between them and Gretel is that Gretel is SUPPOSED to be expressive while they aren't.

Alright! I've (technically) done all gijinkas for Inanimate Insanity Invitational, and just in time for II2 Act 2! Which set is your favorite?
@DisneyAPromos
The setting looks cool but I really wish it kept with the style from the concept art. IDK, the new style kind of looks Disney Jr-esque, so unless that's what they're intentionally going for, I prefer the original

@Y0uKn0wTheName
Doesn't this guy know that Shrek has a vunerable side too and straight up *cries* in the 4th movie?
If shrek saw Puss in a panic attack, he may not say much, but he'd be there for him, especially if he knows its due to Puss being afraid of his own mortality
@notsweetdandy
Kinger: "Sorry pal, but can we make amends?"
Pomni: "Shut up, Kinger, I'm gonna kill you!"
Jax: "Why can't we just talk it out?"
Pomni: "Not this time, Jax..."
Caine: "Pomni, oh Pomni, where have you been?"
Pomni: "Too late Caine, I'm stabbing your back!"

So I noticed that I'm seeing a ton of AU stuff for Starlo (it's all cool BTW) which made me feel that he gained his Sans-like status
This image is VERY out of character for some weird reason
I love how Chika *(or
#Chika
?) is trending for literally no reason. It's just because a bunch of people are saying the word "Chika" all around the same time. Anyway, Kaguya Sama is a great anime and Chika Fujiwara is a great character
@mask_bastard
You do realize the reason why those 30's animated shorts look so good is that they are theatrical productions with theatrical budgets, while the animation nowadays is TV animation with TV budgets.
Here's Looney Tunes in Theaters (30's) and Here's Looney Tunes on TV (60's)
@itsashotgunbaby
I genuinely thought it was a Your Favorite Martian song for the longest time until I figure out the song's title and listened to it myself. I was confused why the song/album cover had real people instead of flash-animated cartoon characters
//atsv spoilers (and into the spiderverse spoilers)
So after watching the spiderverse movie, a friend of mine mentioned how Miguel is basically what would happen if Kingpin won, which is kind of crazy to think about
Microphone: (I really wish I made her headphones round D: ) I'm just gonna pretend they are here since they were meant to represent that part of her object
@ryanqnorth
When I first realized this is supposed to have a double meaning, I first thought "I didn't know Hobie Brown hated Arctic Monkeys and Paul McCartney"
@GENCZILLA
On one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, the meaning of the "shallow" art is the joy it brings to the artist and its viewers. So while I wish people made more art with substance, I believe shallow art should still exist as it still brings people joy
Ok, so I just read through the entire graphic novel of Nimona, and I want to give some (spoiler free) pieces of info about it since I feel there's a lot of misconceptions on what the upcoming movie is gonna be like 🧵
Lifering's a strange one, because while while I technically didn't do anything ring-shaped (aside from making his face/arms sorta round), I did give him a massive cavity/hole in his chest, which technically counts? (I'll explain why in another post) also the ropes are there
@KAFKAdtm
I personally love it because it shows they're now blank slates for any artist to paint over, but it's also really funny to see characters like *Kokoro* have a blank face. If you know Bandori, you'd know this is the furthest thing from how she actually is
@horrifichymns
I'm not sure if this would count as it's on Adult Swim but it's also TV-PG and Gendy said the whole family can enjoy so IDK
It does air on CN right before adult swim happens so I guess it's on the same level as Regular Show (which I definitely think counts as for teens)
@rottendevilman
In that sense, a genderbend could be a character study.
As for non binary characters, they'd still be non-binary, but they'd have the opposite of that non-binary gender (agender to all-gender, genderfluid to idk bigender?)
@Alonestarfish
@SuperVallain
This isn't the only time this team has done it. Phineas, Ferb, and Perry(in his normal form) lack eyebrows too, but I feel the expressionlessness of that lack of eyebrows benefitted ferb and perry at least, but it fails with Gretel as she's supposed to be expressive.
#RAINCODE
I want to give a massive update that this speculation of mine is now confirmed! Halara is non binary and uses they/them pronouns according to the official site
#RAINCODE
Ever since I saw Halara nightmare, I wondered what gender they were and even thought that they might be non binary. However, given their description being the only one to lack pronouns to an awkward degree, I genuinely think this character may actually be non binary
"Look, Chris... We *want* to be your friend, we *want* to like you... but... All this torture and murder you're doing... it... it's kind of making that hard."
"... Ugh, I'm sorry, Chris... I- I was being a bit harsh there"
"No, no, it's Ok, Duncan. *I'm* sorry..."
"...Thank you."
#inanimateinsanity
Even though its blatantly false, I still like the idea that Taco took MePhone4S's arms after he died. Not only does it represent remnants of a bygone era (4S lost his life. Taco lost the game), but both start as antags in each season before redeeming themselves
