Ugly Cute?



:yoshi:
In the sense that the design in question looks too funny to be "pretty", yet has all the charm of something nice rather than looking grotesque and repugnant.

An example of Ugly Cute:
Gible.png

Gible ain't a puppy or a kitten. It ain't a baby chick or even a bunny! Despite lacking the "fluffiness" behind the concept of cute things, it's still incredibly endearing in its own way. A real-life example of this are most animals, like pugs.

Mine is one of those that you can't just talk about with your identity tied to it. The essence of it all would completely shatter what character I show here. It's hard to explain.

It's the sort of thing that once spoken, other people may worry and will always assume something's off because of that information. Although, I have dropped a few hints in the past as to what I actually am...

If you have a gallery, I'd love to follow up on your updates.


Well, ehhhh, the term "Unconventionally Attractive" AKA "Ugly Cute" does exist, sooo... It checks out? (purely subjective)
So you and Dyllybirdy Dyllybirdy (if I remember correctly) want to get updated/tagged when I post a drawing of my characters?

Hmmmm....as long I think it's good enough to share, than sure, I try my best.

Ehh, the official art ain't exactly "ugly". In fact, I'd say it falls in the cute range. It's the fanart I was referring to anyhow, which can range. In case you're worried, that art gets a compliment either way. It's well done and comfy.

Oh, I was hoping you had an art gallery somewhere, but if you don't have one, sharing your content on here as you see fit is fine by me. It's probably for the best anyway.

Yeah, it's for the best like you said, there isn't much of my OC in my gallery, and what there is....not for this forum let's just say.

Still, here is a old Alicia sprite of mine for you to see.

Honestly in my opinion, the most adorable look of my boi is his anthro 3D model on the N64...

Funny you mention that... My art isn't for this forum either. I was prepared to tell you, "oh, btw, my stuff might be offensive to some so you're free not to follow back or anything."

I remember seeing that sprite somewhere btw. She gives me scylla vibes.

Huh, that looks great!
It's quit good yeah, but in hindsight, I feel the design is a bit too overdesign is some places, and not in the "good" way you could say for the chimera she is, but hey, that design helped me alot to make this one.

Which in turn gave me this.

So who am I to complain? :p

Huh, really? You seeing it somewhere I mean, I did share it alot on this forum, but otherwise, only another website as her.

Also, we really are all a bunch of weirdo it seem.:laugh:

And finally, yeah, that's what I was going for her. (the scylla vibe I mean)

Yup. How could you possibly complain about that? ;)

At the same time, I want to have a gimmick. I want to have some reason to actually stand out here, which I don't really have. But at the same time, I don't want to annoy people or anything. I know some people didn't like the Scottposting or Yoshiposting, and don't want to risk pushing people away just to stand out

You cannot win over every user on this site. I made peace with that a long time ago...

I don’t even think I have a gimmick.

Gimmicks are just a cheap tactic to make weak users stronger.

I've been having similar thoughts actually. I used to have a "gimmick" here once, but some people got quite annoyed with it, so I toned it down a notch. But now I'm wondering if I should try the whole "gimmick" thing again. Maybe there'd be different results this time.

revelation of the day is that every artist here draws lewds and Mythra Mythra was the only one bold enough to admit it from the start
I draw ecchi, and that's about it, but calling me an artist is purely subjective until you evaluate the work yourself. It's just that I don't draw as often as I'd like nor is it a trait I want to be defined by. Mythra is the only person to have seen my stuff. The SFW content goes to my dA gallery, though some of the content dances around the lewd edge. That, and I suffer from "My own worst critic" Syndrome.

Besides, I quite prefer being a Jack-of-all-trades guy.

God damn, she looks really cool. I love her design really. Yeaaah, I did see her before! Once though... I like that my suspicions on her species was more or less on the dot. Speaking of chimeras, I have one, but she needs fixing/coloring.

Here is the character who the girl in my avi (Alice) is wearing the outfit. ;)
Looks like a NieR character with influences from Undertale, and some kind of puzzle game vibe. You are probably the first sprite artist I've recently followed in ages. The last one I knew was quite King of Fighters and JoJo-centric.
