Holy Overused Joke on a Webtoon!

this is not to say that my design is perfect in comparison, as i'm sure i can improve in some aspects in how i draw/portray him as well. but with the huge platform that crumb has, its been a bit of an issue to see an audience of impressionable people take inspo/directly reference their design of RL tord, then implying that "scars = evil."

but when you're using his scars as direct symbolism for him being evil, then that has a very different implication. for example, some people portray the non-affected side of his face as the "good/charming side," while the scarred side of his face is the "evil/deceitful" side. there are also times where people straight up called his scars "ugly," or purposefully exaggerated the way they're drawn to make him appear more menacing. obviously, those are negative connotations that directly have to do with his scars than just him as a character.

saw many people doing this so here we go
