>>503907>>503860>>503817The change in art style is a weird decision but I suppose she feels pressured to settle on something now that she's working on a show. I think people liked her angular y2k inspired artstyle, her shift to more rounded shapes by contrast reads as very modern so I wonder what her longtime fans think of it. She might not intend it that way but it comes across as generic coom artist. Maybe she thinks the pointy boobs help connect her current art style to her old work but it's discordant.
To me it seems like she's abandoning her unique-selling-point as an artist in favor of something more generic but perhaps it could be intentional to attract a broader, more gendersplit audience. Could also be an unintended consequence of grinding her anatomy fundies.

I've never heard of this until seeing it on the front page. The colors in all of these pieces are so offensively ugly and disharmonious; I'm not an artfag, but how can anyone stand it? The dialogue is so stiff and unnatural (particularly
>>503688) and probably lost the depth it would've had in her native language. I looked her her up and saw she didn't speak a lot of English which is fine on its own, but presents a lot of problems when you're translating a dialogue-driven story.

IIRC, some anons in the Western Animation Industry Cows thread were discussing how inauthentic IWEYG feels (as many zoomer attempts at recreating late 90s/early 00s American culture do, but also because BrujoAri is not American), and there was a bait post about how savage third-worlders have no culture of their own so they have to rip off white people media or some other racist shit, but needless to say, that's not true at all. I do agree that it's a bit lame of Brujo to just copy and paste American Y2K high school drama tropes, but only because we have our own subcultures or version of the same subcultures that she could've drawn inspiration from.
Latin Americans have their own history of rock music (fuck's sake, she already shares the Latin American rock songs she listens to on Instagram), we have our own pop stars, our own pop culture, our own underground/alt scene, our own version of the popular girls and NLOGs in high school, etc. And depending on the city, there are different kinds of people as well. She could've based her cartoon on those things instead. Her English isn't the best ("thaking"
>>503688 "convo"

If the series was centered around Kate and her friend group trying to navigate life together as outcast teen girls during the early 00s I might be interested. Too bad brujo only cares about her heterofied jotakak slop though. Oh well.

They made Kate and Alex the face of the studio so soon kek, they were probably desperate for a popular moneymaker.

Being a ripoff of Jotaro doesn’t help. I’m kinda into this style though bc the rendering and chibis remind me of actual graffiti you’d used to see in the 2000s made by Latinos with these types of cutesy pinup characters, or those collectible homiez keychains also from the 2000s. It’d be really fun to see her emulate more 2000s artstyles other than downtown and Daria, seeing her take on a cutesy Bibi1004 or Roiworld couple drawing would be cute

>>505671>Pinky and Pepper>Published in 2018What kills me is that the 90s and ESPECIALLY the early 2000s had plenty of edgy media to take inspiration from which, for obvious reasons, would translate much better to the setting. I'm sure Brujo knows this, but she and Gumo want to use internet-poisoned media or scroteshit instead, which is edgy in a different way and will come across as jarring. Just off the top of my head, there's the works of Jhohen Vasquez, iconic "emo characters", comic books were in their dark phase, Happy Tree Friends, violent and gory anime/manga was at peak popularity, most of the iconic horror movie franchises were going strong, Jamie Hewlett's work, webcomics from that era in general, the grunge/emo/rock music scenes, there are SO MANY gritty movies made during those decades that you probably can't even list them all, books or graphic novels like Maximum Ride…Brujo obviously does
some research about the media at the time, but it seems like she doesn't really go deeper than things which are popular with LARPers like Lucky Star. For the edgy elements, how are modern gendie webcomics or Lucifer Valentine movies supposed to "inspire" a story set in a suburban y2k neighborhood?

I said this before in a different thread but I think the problem with some of Brujo's character designs is that, since she's heavily inspired by the 2000s, she might be copying some of the sexist tropes from media of that time without critically thinking about them (besides making Kate a little bigger).

And there's the other co-founder Naya Fae, who's ceo but has no public history of what she's actually done.
TBF they seem like a bunch of newbies in over their heads, but I give it 5 years tops before they go defunct.

Putting all of their energy on just one show would be smart but I do really think the studio heads have some ego issues and think they can manage all of these shows and they are using the attention on brujos project to try and get attention on their stuff.

Tried my hand at this too, I tried to retain her personality mostly but with some dorkiness. I took inspiration from certain past outfits, plus the comic that shows she used to have thicker eyebrows but thinned them. In my version she was tempted but decides not to fuck up her eyebrows. Admittedly I leaned into her tomboyish side because I'm starved of goofy loser tomboy characters.
I also looked at how Brujo draws genderbent Kate's expressions, because the way she draws him is less sexualized and feels more naturally goofy.

>>507362This is really good, you took the criticism with grace. Im also intrigued by the concept of having her look younger because being a late bloomer could also correspond to acting tomboyish and "outcasted" by other girls, it would make an interesting arc for Kate to go through puberty and her dynamic shifting with her old moid friend group causing a divide because of her gender. She could eventually learn to trust and create deeper friendships with her female friends and hopefully ditches the moids.
I'm personally on the side that bootleg trent should be a female because it would be more subversive to have 2 GNC lesbians rather than have Kate get 'fixed' by a hot dude (though I see the appeal of a fictional hot guy loving a quirky weird girl and having her stay weird and quirky throughout the relationship, not hating on nonas who prefer the latter trope)

>>507381This is an edgy plot idea but an all male friend group would definitely not take the token female friend trying to appear more masculine kindly and would possibly harass or do hazing rituals to put her in her place, especially since the initial plot line for Alex's friend group was that she was the lead female singer for their band and the group gained popularity because of Alex which then decreased significantly after she trooned out. Whether Kate and Alex both have a predominantly male friend group or only one had such while the other was a total outcast, in a perfect world the plot couldve been two losers who find solace in each other despite their internalized misconceptions with other women and femininity after their shared negative experiences with puberty and the perception of a woman throughout it.

I really love pre-troon Alex, shes incredibly cute and I find her more intriguing than kate as a character. I used to have a vendetta against brujo since her jokak days because she was just another hyper yaoi dimorphism fujo who made kakyoin into an uwu twink but when she turned them into ocs and made an official design for female Alex I was immediately intrigued.
Its pretty sad scrolling through her instagram and seeing how soulless her current art looks compared to her art when she drew mostly as a hobby. Having her ocs be 'greenlit' for a series was probably to worse thing to happen to brujo's art though Im personally vindicated since I still hold spite for her irreversibly ruining the jojo fandom by spawning a number of knockoffs who draw other jojo characters as hyper feminized y2k femboy ocs

I like the idea of them being lesbians navigating life in the early 2000s, it lends itself to a lot of interesting stories.

I'm 100% sure Brujo would refuse to make Kate the chubbier one in the relationship. Kate always has to be the petite uwu unique pretty one in the group but also tomboyish, creepy and off putting so she's not like the other girls and more like da boys. Even when brujo draws her "curvier" the fat is located in the ass and thighs so she still looks slim thick and attractive kek, the way you drew her is more accurate to what a chubby girl would look

>>507427>>507433Dont forget Brujo gets really anal if you ship Kate with anyone that isn't moid adjacent, she was especially pissed if you shipped Mary with Kate since she was supposed to be an evil love rival that stole Alex away from her. Heres the only explicitly lesbian sketches she has in her entire gallery compared to art of the spicy straights. I'm sure it'll be a repeat of events with Karina and she'll be mad that zoomies are shipping her with Kate more than not-trent.
As nona said, Alex is 'draw it a male call it a tif with titchop scars' and the only reason why she got more feminine traits later on is because she caved in to gendie demands and changed it to be more accurate to the time period, otherwise if it weren't for the gendie audience she currated she 100% wouldve made Alex a natal moid by now. Im pretty sure she only made Jotaro a tif on a whim so she could dodge allegations of turning jokak into a straight ship with her hyper feminization of kakyoin by making both of them "tifs" but kakyoin is just a pre-op, pre transition, feminine non conforming blah blah blah while jotaro is on the other side of the spectrum so its still totes gay.

There was a month difference between the Punkcracker (skinny kate) and the Casting Announcement video (chubby kate). Having a whole animation made then suddenly changing the designs seems deranged, does she have to run the design changes by anybody or do they just let her do whatever? Even kates personality/vibe is completely different from when they announced it. Seems like alot of effort, time, and possibly money spent towards something that is constantly changing and under development. Are they gonna have to redo all the storyboards, like the one BBpanzu finished in AUGUST?

>>507716She probably asked to change the design before any animation starts cause I assume they are still storyboarding. If she requests constant design changes, etc. and they always listen that's not entirely a good sign. Constantly changing stuff wastes time and money. You can't always listen to the show creator because it can create issues.

>>508738For the most part of what that anon said, yes.

On the other hand, Regina in that pic is a teenage weeb who goes to school, so her problems are totally different. Watamote would be a better comparison.
>>508788>the mangaka is a creepThe artist or the writer? NHK was originally a novel, the author was also the writer for the manga. But the artist is some other guy.
Also I don't know if the pedo shit happens in the original novel, but it's definitely not in the anime, which is the version most people are familiar with, I think. AFAIR the protag is not a lolicon there, and in the part where he takes pantyshots the girls are in high school instead (which isn't much better but at least shows that they tried to remove as much pedoshit as possible).

No. 510864
>>510821It feels unlikely that Brujo is going to pursue the best (and most obvious) option of making it a episodic series with fun hijinks between teenagers in high school. Mainly because gendies want things to be much deeper than surface level fun, even if that attempt ruins any chance of making a solid series. There's no romance to develop between the characters because Kate and Alex are a pair who are just as plain together than they are apart. There's nothing interesting to truly
grasp between them and I suspect it's because both characters are a projection of Brujo, and there's nothing interesting about her. The side characters that are reliant on tropes start out relatively strong to the audience, and give a lot more opportunity to flesh them out. You can't grow something when the seeds are faulty. We can only assume (based off of what the studio says) that the story is going to be about a vague idea of feeling "out of place" (aka being gender speshul in a world full of normies), relationship drama, with a vague mexican background for spice. Shame!

What's crazy about this to me is that clearly Ari did know how to draw chubby characters while still conforming to the pre-established stylization of her Y2K pastiche, and yet once she decided to thicken up Kate, it's like she completely forgot how to and now Kate just looks like your average Tumblr cartoon instead of maintaining the 2000s MTV look that made Ari's art so popular in the first place.
This piece also just emphasizes how much more sense the story would make if Kate's sister was the protagonist instead. The sister's the one who's the actual outcast weird girl that Ari keeps insisting Kate is despite portraying her otherwise.

>>511704>It would be faster and easier to make.Not really, both mediums have their own hurdles. With the animation, Brujo has a team of writers/artists/animators doing a lot of work for her show as well, while she makes reference sheets and communicates with them. With a webcomic Brujo is doing the lining/coloring/writing on her own unless she’s able to hire assistants. She might’ve been more attracted to the idea of a studio making a show for her.
A lot of webcomics update with a 1 page/week model which can turn off some impatient people. And we don’t actually know if Brujo has the capacity to work on one consistently. It definitely won’t have the amount of detail and quality anons love though, it’s pretty common for webcomic artists get burnt out, in some cases injure their wrists, and go on hiatus. More experienced webcomic artists will point out it’s better not to strive for perfection, what matters is it’s serviceable and gets the point across. So if she did go the webcomic route, this thread might’ve still ended up criticizing similar things- Brujo flip-flopping on Kate’s design/personality during the webcomic, and her art getting worse(though much more understandable because she’d be doing all the work)

>>514416Id also focus on Kate's well intended advice/ ways of helping her little sister in the 2010s; but due to the fact Kate was
merely a vaguely tomboyish NLOG, her advise actually seldomly applies to Regina ( who's nerdier, more outcasted, gay etc.) And her relantioship changing as Regina grows would lead to character growth or smthing. I Also thought that maybe having parts of the story focus on the 2010s would be mean someone like Brujo and other Zoomie rewritters could derive smthing familiar from their youth or more easily encapsulate the culture of the time ( id be canceled but id have Kate deal with Gendie Enby Regina only Kate would call out how stupid that is, bringing to mind her nominal tomboyish-ness). Another idea in order to blend in setting disparities would be having the Kate segments be set in Mexico and spoken or written in Spanish vs The Regina ones being in English and set in the states/ probably LA or Florida for a bit of flavor, with the excuse being that Regina, Kate and their family immigrated to the states when Regina was super young and Kate was old enough to pursue either work or college ( wtf she'd work or major in would be anyone's guess since og Kate has the personality of unseasoned chicken.if one wants to highlight her NLOGism having her be in smthing more stereotypically masc would do).
