Do You Like This Character's Visual Design?

(Last updated: 18th June 2026)

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)

Van Gogh (Stage 1) / Clytie from Y

"Wait I can explain. You may ask "Is that Vincent Van Gogh?" well, the Fate series likes to do this weird thing where they combine two or more people into one character - usually as an excuse to make them the opposite gender, or to simply gain more creative freedom (for better or worse). Anyway this is MOSTLY Clytie, the nymph of Sunflowers (sort of). A tiny bit of Van Gogh as well."

Luigi (Bowlo Candy) from Mario Party 8

"The Bowlo Candy is an item that allows Luigi (and those other chumps) to turn into a ball and take 10 coins from anyone they roll over, before transforming back to normal. It never appeared in the series ever again."

Cherry Gnome from Limbus Company

"G'YOU JUST GOT GNOMED! Gnomes are a species of monster native to the Outskirts-ome. G'they are the workforce of Santata's workshop-ome. They work hard to make all the presents for their lovely neighbors-ome. Though they may be small, they pack a mean wallop!"

Space Fin 054 / Answering Machine 054 from Arknights

"An answering machine granted sentience. 054 works for the Buerau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Arts Units and Originium and is equipped with a bio-scanner to register visitors and a brand-new laser cannon for self defense. Couldn't tell you why the fish is a part of this, but I think it's a really unique robot design"

Balthus von Albrecht (War) from Fire Emblem: Three Houses

"The nipple cords… Why"

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.

Ao Ohtori (Casual Outfit) from I am Magicami

"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."

Ao Ohtori (Transformed) from I am Magicami

"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 from Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

"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."

Milklooker from DELTARUNE

"Yea i'm tha sicko that looks at all the milks to find the best expiration date. You got something about it?"

Nerþuz from Fire Emblem Heroes

"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"
