A polling blog focused on whether or not you (specifically) like the VISUAL design of a character.
Polls will be posted five times a day between 18:00 and 18:12 BST (UTC+1) (subject to change & barring extenuating circumstances), and will last one week. Results happen when they happen, usually somewhat weekly (I'm a busy woman).
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions open on the first of every month, with 150/155 slots being available. These will be posted from the 1st to the end of the following month. A link to the google form to submit designs will be posted when submissions open.
Spreadsheet for previous posts, statistics, and rejected submissions here.

Q&A (Below Cut)
Who runs this account?
Hi! I'm Consul (she/her) and I have always loved character designs. Please be nice to strangers on the internet and try to remember that all of this is for fun. My personal blog is @stultiferanavis.
My reblog / reply isn't showing up in the notes, how can I fix this?
Send an ask on anon with your URL and I'll get it sorted out. I have had my main blog for 6 years (I've been on Tumblr for almost 12 at this point. Scary) and block somewhat liberally, usually because there's no mute function on this website. It's nothing personal.
What should I do if there's a factual error with a character's information or design in one of your posts?
Please feel free to either send me an ask about it, or reply directly to the post in question! I'm always more than happy to make corrections. I do not know everything about what gets submitted, my media knowledge is very limited to be honest, so I am bound to make mistakes. I can only go off of what has been submitted to me and sometimes things get missed.
Do you endorse the media that you put on this account?
Designs will be posted regardless of my personal feelings about any specific piece of media. I do not know every piece of media that exists, however I will not knowingly post anything that exists to endorse harmful ideologies. I truly hope this won't be an issue but I am covering my bases.
How many submissions can I make?
With the new monthly submission schedule, try to limit it to 5 submissions tops. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but now that only 150 designs are being accepted per submission block, it'd be considerate to let other people submit things too.
Can I submit Original or Fan Characters to be judged?
No, only designs that are from publicly released sources are acceptable to be submitted. If a design's source has an official, public release (be that web comic, video game, software mascot, or otherwise) it's fair game.
Can you add more poll options?
Unless it becomes obvious that further nuance is needed, no. This is not about whether or not you recognise the design so I don't think that's really needed. If anything, I kinda wish there wasn't the nuance button.
I feel like people are just clicking yes because they like the media / character regardless of their feelings about their designs.
You and me both brother!
When will my submission be posted?
Send an ask off anon with the design's name and I'll let you know!
[Character/Design] is a spoiler! Why didn't you mark it?
I sincerely apologise if I've spoiled anything with this blog, it's never my intention to ruin anything for anyone. I can't be aware of what is and isn't a spoiler for media that I do not personally know, nor do I really know how to go about marking that. If you want me to mark something as a spoiler, tell me and I’ll tag it as #[media name] spoiler
I think someone else did this concept first.
When I made this blog there wasn't anyone else doing this specific concept to my knowledge. And if there is now, send me their @ and I'll explode them with my mind
Why are there so many gacha game characters here?
I run off of submissions and I prioritise them based on the order they are submitted. If someone decides to send me twenty characters from the same thing then that's what we're getting for a while. It just so happens that gacha games have a Lot of designs and they're what tends to be submitted. I don't mind this personally, but if it bugs you then you should submit your own characters (WINK)(PLEASE).
Why are there so many Arknights characters here?
People Keep Submitting Them, I don't know what to tell you. I like the game a lot but I don't make submissions here (and I make it obvious when I do. Coughing). These polls tend to get high ish votes consistently, so it might just be that more people are seeing them and submitting more characters as a result?
Who is the thang in your icon?
A bunny version of Thorns from one of the official arknights stickers, one of my personal Guys. Until Hypergryph sends me a cease and desist for making this the mascot of the blog it stays. The Babbit.

is it just me or is it the case where human & human adjacent designs are the ones to consistently get interactions regardless if they're seen as good, bad, or even mixed? cause it does kinda vex me when you think a lot on what renders to submit and propaganda to go along with it but because it's anything remotely beyond a human shape like a monster or robot/mecha then it's just relegated to votes and not much else. like, even if there is consensus running away towards yes i still would like to see more of people's impressions, y'know?
not that i don't see the rationale, mind. every FEH that gets sent here I find myself having A Lot To Say And Think about them, for example.
dunno, guess i'm just rambling while in the "Humans are common and uninteresting" mood, i guess.
I think it's true that human(oid) designs tend to get the majority of interactions, yeah! There are exceptions (like brushbuddy from WHA for example or Lumo the hideous Eurovision freak), of course. I know I, personally, have very little to say about creature or robot designs just because my own interests skew towards very human centric designs, but I imagine I'm not alone in that.
I'm always interested in what people have to say about designs, so I'm very much in the same boat of wishing people would engage more in the tags and replies, but there's nothing that can be done to force that change without being annoying or unprofessionally pushy about it.
"This is how the character chooses to dress. The hat hides long hair, and the big jacket creates an illusion of having a more boxy body shape, instead of a curvy one more associated with femininity/being a woman."
"I like the valkyrie theme, but the skimpiness emphasizing the shape of the body is not great for a character who has dysphoria about being seen as feminine/a woman instead of masculine/a man."
"Kerenna is an especially skilled warrior and a devoted follower of Humakt, the God of Death in the Orlanthi pantheon. As such, she is a fervent hunter of the undead wherever she can find it. To her, violence is always a viable option. Kerenna does not hesitate to slay anyone who she considers deserving and may even flaunt the will of her clan's ring to do so, at least if she considers it a part of Humakt's will. Thus, she inspires both admiration and fear from her fellow clan members, though her detractors would claim she is cold and cruel.
Note: this design is also used by her niece, Korestene, who takes Kerenna's place in events if Kerenna dies."

"one of many horribly sexualized feh ocs. all of her alts have really bad cleavage because feh cannot be normal about women with large breasts. i cant even say that her base design is the worst of them because none of them are any less sexualized. she's kind of worse off than multiple other feh ocs because she's reduced down to a motherly role despite not being a mother to any other relevant characters. i'd say girl we gotta get you outta there but honestly i think putting her down would be better"
How do I submit a character is there a google document or something else?
Hi anon! Submissions are sent in through a google form, the link for which is posted when they open on the first of every month. Submissions this month are being pushed back by a few days so I can have some time to deal with real life things (which is also why results have been so delayed recently) but there will be at least 24 hours notice before they open again.

Green Arrow (Absolute Universe) / The Longbow Hunter from Absolute Green Arrow (DC Comics)
"Ollie got murdered by Hawkman in this universe, yet someone took up the mantle of Green Arrow. Quite literally killing it - both in design (reminds me of Taskmaster from Marvel) and billionaires."
"Despite her old age, Outcast turns out to be a carefree, delightful woman who loves playing cards and chatting with her friends during resting hours. Outcast uses a cowboy-style revolver. However, she always inserted only five bullets inside the cylinder and never fired the sixth one. According to her, the reason for it was because she had made a Lateran "covenant" (or "bet" by her words) with Kal'tsit as a "judgement" for her sinful past.
tl;dr tacticool cowboy old lady angel with a revolver who used to be a catholic nun"
"I'm glade they made the stars/constellations more prominent again in her tights (and the asymmetry of it is nice here!) and I just overall think its a cute design"

"Exiled from the elven homeland of Kyonin for terrible crimes against her own family, the hedonistic Jaethal would eventually be assassinated by an unknown party as she mindlessly wandered in the wilderness. Some time after her death, she woke as an undead servant of Urgathoa [goddess of physical excess, disease, and the undead] with a scythe at her side."
