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.

"A knight with a serious drinking problem.
I am 99% certain that any similarities to a mister Harrier du Bois a.k.a. Raphael Ambrosius Costeau are completely intentional."
"She's simple yet cute. It's the perfect design for a stage magician inspired magical girl phantom thief. If Saint Tail were more popular I think she's be right up there with some of the other more iconic Magical Girl Looks."

"A giant ruling over the living, man-eating ocean spanning across Yggdrasil before being summoned into Tokyo. He is a treasure hunter with a sacred artifact that drags in anything it touches (the anchor in the second picture). Aegir's day job is a professor at a college of marine science.
He is based on Ægir, the jötunn of the sea in Norse mythology."
As the submitter for Hiccup, I'm. So sorry. I did not realize just how long my rant was. It takes up like, 3/4ths of my screen. Also thank you for finding another image of him I genuinely could not find one </3
It's not a problem, don't worry! You're not the first to put a lengthy comment there and I'm sure you're not the last. It took a little digging to find the image, and I admit it's not the best but I've never seen this film and ended up just scouring various wikis to try and find something Somewhat passable. I hope you have a lovely day, anon!
"The main character of the game. Following in the footsteps of her brother, she disguises herself as a boy to attend the exclusive Univeil Drama School. As there are other students who are very invested in looking/acting female outside of performance and practices, she is told not to act too over-the-top macho. She plays both male and female roles."

"She's such an iconic Precure design. Red and black as a combo never fails, and I think her long pink hair looks really nice alongside it. Her hair decorations are probably my favorite part of the design."
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Adult) from How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
"I genuinely would not be surprised if there is at least one person who sees this and goes "that's supposed to be HICCUP?!" His adult design, while fine as a standalone, IS SO BAD FOR HICCUP!! Why does he have muscle?!? Hiccup, the "worst Viking ever" because he's not big and strong like the other vikings is now big and strong like the other vikings? HIS ENTIRE CHARACTER is based on how he ISN'T big and strong and how that's alright because he is smarter and craftier. His beard is ugly, his nose is the complete wrong shape (it's supposed to be round not angular), they removed his freckles, he looks like an alternate! They didn't even TRY to make him look like an older version of hiccup! His hair should NOT be that silky HE'S A VIKING! If he didn't have the metal leg I wouldn't blink twice if he was in the background of a scene in the first movie except maybe to question why he's so smooth compared to everyone else. His design is bland but fine if he was his own character but it completely failed to be a natural progression of Hiccup as a person. His hair isn't even messy. He looks more like my dad than he does Hiccup. I hate his adult design so much."
"Looking back on it, I think this character is one of the first places I developed a fondness for the Big Hat + Big Bow look. I just think she's cute."
"A badass dude for certain that not even death can hold this guy down! A tragic betrayal by his best friend before being resurrected as a literal Deadman walking, Grave is not someone to screw with, especially when it comes to protecting his ward, Mika Asagi. He may not speak most of the time, but his actions speak volumes.
===
As Brandon Heat, he was a hitman for Millenion, eventually becoming a full member of the Family, Millenion's innermost circle. He was then betrayed and killed by his former best friend Harry, who subsequently usurped Big Daddy's position as the boss of Millenion. Later, Brandon was brought back to life as Beyond The Grave by Dr. T, despite Big Daddy demanding that Brandon be allowed to rest in peace. Soon after his resurrection, Grave took in Mika Asagi, his former boss's daughter, who was being hunted by Harry. Grave then began his quest of revenge against those in the organization who had betrayed him and those closest to him.
The legendary Deadman gunslinger is now part of the El-Alcangel as he was brought back to life, but still works closely with Mika, the leader of the organization."

"She's purple. She's a fox. She has a faintly mysterious vibe to her but is still very goofy. Honestly the ideal mascot character for a Dark Magical Girl."
