Sportacus

Default Guy

Voting ended onDec 13, 2024

Sportacus | Lazy Town

[No propaganda submitted]

Default Guy | Safety/road/bathroom/etc signs

“I know he doesn't really count as a "character" but he's definitely a design. And a damn good one at that. There is a reason it is the standard for all manner or signage the world over. It gets accross the idea of "a person" in as few details as possible. Circle for the head, no neck, smooth curves for shoulders and any other bends, nub hands and feet. There's so much there to admire that you don't pay attention to. And it feels like no matter what this guy is doing, wether it be riding a bike, getting mauled my machinery, or slipping on a wet floor, you can always tell at even the slightest glance.”

Round 3 - 1

Ms. Iwasake

Default Guy

Voting ended onMar 13, 2025

Ms. Iwasake | Fake Type

“Ms. Iwasake/Iwasake-chan is one half of a battle couple meant to represent the two members of Fake Type. She represents Dyes Iwasaki, who is the composer. Her name comes from Iwasaki, but the last bit was changed to -sake to represent the fact that she’s an alcoholic that drank the legendary sake that caused her to be possessed by Dionysus. Her motifs are a wine glass and flowers. Her skirt in her original design is supposed to look like an upside-down wine glass, and that shape remains throughout most of her outfits. Her outfits change in every video, but there’s always a sense of cohesion with them due to the designers sticking with her motifs and skirt shape. Because she is part of a battle couple, she matches her husband Baron Ham in a few different ways. While she is the wine glass, he is the wine bottle, and their eyes are eachother’s theme colors (pink and blue). She’s also a head taller than Ham, just like their real life counterparts.”
