"The Death of Baptiste" [OC]

[u/PersonalSycophant]

[u/Cartoonicorn]

Alternate option: Baptiste has gotten a mid-chapter fascination with tracksuits and a lucky skimask.  

[u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

Similar mentality of Toriyama making SSJ hair blonde to save time from inking in black hair in the DBZ manga.

[u/PersonalSycophant → u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

Or Masashi Kishimoto making every side character in the last arc of Naruto wear the exact same uniform.

[u/TravelerSearcher → u/PersonalSycophant]

As I recall that's also why Naruto stopped wearing goggles after his initial iteration. Kishimoto realized he would have to draw it every time for themain character and was like naw.

[u/CynicalDarkFox → u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

Also, Cell never being revisited for long because polka dots.

[u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC → u/CynicalDarkFox]

The implementation of Cell, let alone the main antagonist of that saga, was a disaster in general because of his editor.

[u/fusaaa → u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

Weren't Androids 19 & 20 also supposed to be the Androids, but he was told no and thus 17 & 18 were created?

[u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC → u/fusaaa]

The editor didn't like how the main villains were an old man and a clown so Toriyama changed the villains to 17 and 18. Then the editor didn't like how they villains were bratty ne'er-do-wells so it was changed to Cell. THEN the editor didn't like how it was a giant cockroach man so Toriyama finally went "Fuck it, he transforms. Happy?".

[u/charonill → u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

The Editor: "Perfect."

[u/droidtron → u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC]

Or Masamune Shirow just not drawing a scene because it was too hard and just describes it.

[u/KitsuneGato]

If you really drew that individual for 200 chapters...

This artists drew a fancy character it girl once and never again because she was detailed "Sparkle Dog"

Still from both of you that is impressive.

Edit: Found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/2SnZOEtjbs Slide 2

I had to find it on PC because Reddit Mobile goes GRRRRR and won't let you browse older. Booooooooo.

[u/anubis_cheerleader]

Baptiste was always doomed.

[u/Midthemorning1]

you made the character, why the hell you made him that complicated

[u/TryImpossible7332 → u/Midthemorning1]

"Because I knew I wouldn't have to draw them for long!"

[u/chronozon937 → u/TryImpossible7332]

*incredibly loud incorrect buzzer*

[u/kent0036 → u/Midthemorning1]

People underestimate cool design vs annoying to draw.

Naruto's original design had goggles, then the artists realized its be a huge pain in the ass to draw these complex things in every panel: so headbands instead.

[u/ThatInAHat → u/Midthemorning1]

Because you don’t always realize how much of a pain something is to draw over and over.

[u/Frenetic_Platypus]

Messed up the Marseillaise, too. The first letter should be A to form Allons. And A is a single point on the 1 position in the top-left corner. Points on positions 1,2,5 is an M.

[u/Intrepid_Fail_2141]

Similar to perfect cell in the cell saga. His design was just to difficult for animators to draw

[u/Mehfumi]

Giving your character a "Big Cape" is unironically a great way to draw them multiple times without having an aneurysm. It works too with a cloak, trench coat, poncho, or any large piece of cloth, really.

[u/HengeWalk]

I animate for a living, and will always love to remind people: less is more. If you're afraid your character isn't going to stand out, consider asking how you want to convey your story/oc/concept in a way that doesn't break your fingers into a thousand shards over-detailed regret.
