EVERYONE SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLEY

#pokeani #coordinator harley #fuckin scorpio

was talking to my friend about how sometimes harley looks like absolute shit and sometimes he looks like the most beautiful human on earth. i’ve def talked about it here before but harley’s design is... really compelling because he’s an incredibly soft/round looking motherfucker in the face area and it’s like he chose to offset that by dressing up as a cactus.

but sometimes he just looks like shit. like, whoevers drawing him misses the mark with that entirely:

this harley sucks. ag121 & ag174 are where its most obvious, this harley sucks shit. the transition between ag121 & ag122 is so jarring to me and my chronic loving harley disease because he goes from this:

to THIS:

i FINALLY looked up who is responsible for making harley look this nice.. of COURSE it’s fucking iwane. ag122, ag160, ag187--they’re all fucking iwane episodes, with 2/3 of them also having asada on storyboards, who is the other apparent ledge in cactus shaping.

like i said the diffrentiation is all in the softness. harley’s really distinct in the face because he’s got the droopy eyes which i basically never see in pokeani but you ESPECIALLY don’t see that in villains, villains in pokeani tend to have the Sexy Eyes that angle inward like jessie and james’s. but harley’s face the other way which make him look very friendly and gentle.

iwane episodes also make his hair a lot more voluminous and soft!!! you can see every curl he has on detail shots.

and on shots that are less close up, it’s a MANE. it looks like its swallowing him!!!

(less of a objective style choice but when his bangs do what theyre doing in the above pic? obsessed with that. i call it the cacturne bangs because the shape of the little bit in front completes the Hat and makes him look more like a cacturne sdfgsdf)

and his NOSE like that!!!!!! is the KEY here!!! iwane gets the nose right!!! harley has the most distinctive nose probably in the whole show it’s big and beautiful and Shaped Nice which is again another thing you basically never see in anime in general unless it’s really stylized so it will always stick out to me. non-iwane episodes ignore it entirely!!! episodes with iwane or asada on always get harley’s nose right in the majority of shots. LOOK at it. its fucking beautiful.

i truly think all of this is key in my absolute adoration of his design because making a villain look Soft instead of Pointy and doing it in a way that isn’t... obtrusively subversive while still making them believably intimidating is difficult, and making a soft villain and then dressing him up like a cactus AND NAMING HIM “MR. NEEDLES” is fucking galaxy brained and hilarious.

i... forgot where i was going w this. iwane is god.
