troythecatfish fragte:

> What’s your thoughts on Delicious in Dungeons Character Designs?

ohnoitstbskyen answered:

> Ryoko Kui is the best to ever do it.

ohnoitstbskyen

To expand on this a little bit: Ryoko Kui takes the tools of character design
seriously, and uses them with forethought and consideration to set her
characters apart, give them personality and specificity, and thinks very
carefully about what each piece of design communicates and how it interacts with
all the other design in her story.

Body shape, face shape, noses, eyes, brows, hair, proportion, fashion, ears,
posture, roundness and angularity, broadness and slenderness, posture... Kui
clearly thinks about ALL of it, and incorporates all of it.

And this is part of what gives her story such a profound sense of taking place
within a world, a whole world inhabited by thousands of people each of whom are
as full and unique and distinct as every other one. You look at a group of her
characters and none of them feel like Copy Pasted NPC Placeholder #3457, they
each feel as though there is a life there, an individuality, even if they are
never actually deeply explored in the story.



Compare and contrast with something like Genshin Impact's style of character
design:





Now, I don't bring this up just to sh** on Genshin - its character design style
is adapted very effectively to the kind of story and world it is trying to
build, which is to say a gacha story where every part of a character is
formulated towards the singular goal of appeal. It's a world inhabited by
nothing but main characters, essentially, and it is a laser-focused power
fantasy structured around constantly pursuing the high of maximum damage numbers
pumped out by maximally cool and badass battle moves executed with maximal grace
by physically perfect avatars who provide the player with maximal aesthetic
pleasure.

But because of that, its character design style is under severe pressure to
regress to the mean - i.e. skinny bodies, young bodies, beauty ideals, and a
minimal amount of physical difference. This style of character design tends to
focus all of its effort in colorful, detailed and attention-grabbing fashion and
hair styles, and generally avoids "alienating" design features like, well,
literally anything that could be conceptualized by anyone as "ugly." Big strong
noses, for example, or larger ears, or wrinkles, scarring, skin folds and so on.
Fatness functionally does not exist in Genshin Impact's character roster for
this reason, and it's part of the reason why the franchise struggles so notably
to design characters of color - the concept of "beauty" is deeply bound up in
systemic biases of class, race, gender and nationalism, and since Genshin's
character design ethos is "make every character as broadly beautiful as
possible" it has to keep hitting the same limited set of beats over and over and
over again, and it reinforces the biases it inherits with its inability to step
outside of them.

So Genshin Impact characters have a tendency, for me at least, to all kinda blur
together into a brightly colored cavalcade of lowest-common-denominator
ambulatory clothing racks, characters whose bodies exist for the primary purpose
of transporting a highly elaborate costume around.



Kui by contrast very very actively seeks out elements of physical difference,
and incorporates them into her design process - she seems to delight in
inventing as many nose shapes as possible, as many different kinds of eyes as
she can think of, and the result is that she has a character roster which is
recognizable even if you change or remove very important parts of their basic
design.






Where Genshin Impact (and that style of character design) would severely
struggle to make characters recognizable without their costumes, because the
characters in large part are their costumes, Kui's design style makes characters
extremely recognizable not only in and out of costume, but even if the
fundamental nature of their bodies change across species, and it makes her
characters of the same race and species eminently recognizable from one another,
even while sharing many physical traits and aesthetic features.

anyway tl;dr Ryoko Kui is the best to ever do it.

Anyone else reminded of those tweets where it’s like “being homophobic is wrong”
and someone replies “how dare you attack Christians” like bro no one said
anything about Christians but you.

ok I already sort of posted about this but to me the most important aspect of
the racism allegory in dungeon meshi is that the lifespans are not natural, and
were never natural. They were wishes the demon was granting.

This is important bc the lifespans were the main divide between the races within
the world. They were what decided the power structure, they were what was used
to justify centuries of oppression and violence, and they were completely
invented as a power grab.

The story makes an effort to show that there is no “natural” reason for racism
by subverting the typical fantasy tropes.
The orcs are seen as “naturally” violent, but then it’s clarified that they’re
only violent as self defence because they’ve been treated very badly. Or to a
lesser extent, Kuro being seen as “naturally” dumber, when in reality he’s just
not fluent in common, and is very articulate in his native language.

so it’s really important that the main power structure, the main cause for
racial tensions in the world, is also revealed to be an entirely unnatural,
entirely human invention.
