Shea Fontana shared a little about the show staff's design decisions regarding characters that aren't made with dolls in mind, which I found rather interesting:

"When we introduce new characters that are not driven by franchise or pre-existing Monster High characters, our incredible designers (...) have a chance to push the monster-ness and lean into spooky fun designs. While fashion dolls need to follow some basic perimeters (often including more humanoid silhouettes and characteristics), these new animated characters can be some very monstrous monsters! From ooey-gooey bodies to dramatic wings to pumpkin heads, we look to heighten the freaky fab in these characters. We take cues from the mythologies of these monster types and work with cultural consultants to ensure that these new characters put even more of the "monster" into Monster High." (Typed out for ease of reading)

I figured something like this was the reason a lot of show exclusive characters seemed to stray farther from past mh design philosophies, but the confirmation is appreciated. So here's the reason some characters are much more monstrous than others, and we can expect to never see them on toy shelves.

Frankly, while I enjoy these designs that take more creative liberties, I do sometimes find they stand out quite a bit from the rest of the cast, in a way that makes you wonder what the in-universe reasoning is, and can be odd at times. I do ultimately enjoy seeing more creature aspects though, especially in the case of Mister Mothmanson and Miss Ziz.

Also, in the upper middle is someone we'll apparently meet tonight. Pumpkin Patch! Her design is adorable I love her already.

#I adore pumpkin head characters #anyways what are y'alls opinions on pushing show exclusive characters' monster features more?#personally I'd love to see characters who will get dolls have stuff like bigger wings too but alas #I doubt we'll see that #monster high #monster high g3 #rätposting #I have a personal vendetta against that one dragon (?) though #the one in the upper right corner #I'm not... a fan of that design #side note #we've had characters who made use of them never being planned as toys to their advantage; but I do feel it's more noticeable in g3

Rewatched 1978 Superman and remembered how much of a total dreamboat Christopher Reeve is, both as Clark Kent and Superman.

#my art #superman #clark kent #dc comics #fanart #character design #he's two flavors of himbo in one man #maybe my only celeb crush. rip christopher reeve #i'm hardly a superhero fan but imo new superman stuff needs to learn more into him also being a klutzy loser officer worker in his 30s

redraw of that one steven universe meme but as the "replace them with your comfort characters" art trend going around on twitter but mine are from the same series so the novelty is kinda gone and now it's just a bogstandard typical redraw. sorry

#i also contemplated switching their roles just so deku could say 'i think we're gonna have to kill this guy kacchan'#but it's less canon compliant and i'm a pussy #also this drawing made me realize just how little i've drawn bkdk in the last few months. their designs are brand new territory again wtf #bnha #mha #bakugou katsuki #midoriya izuku #bakudeku #bkdk #redraw #shitpost #fan art #becki draws stuff n stuff #I FUCKED UP THE HAND.
