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 Iβll 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.

Black Sapphire Cookie - The Black Blight from Cookie Run: Kingdom
"I love the usage of asterism in his design, to reference him being a metaphorical stall and to call back to the gem half of his "gem or grape?" gimmick, with asterism being a feature of star sapphires."
"Neuras is a genius engineer and mechanic who loves to work on gauntlet runners. He's part of the Ishkia race who are usually perceived as snobbish aristocrats, but Neuras doesn't fit that stereotype much, due to how eccentric he is."
"In season one, this guy was designed to look like the generic Iop male player character from Dofus. In season two, they made him look like his own character, and it's such a glow up! He ditched his ugly ass shoes, and his formerly body-obscuring tunic has been shredded (exposing his chest, which makes sense to do since he's the guy with super strength and all) and turned it into his scarf. They also gave him a super deep tan, which imo creates much better contrast against his hair, scarf and pants. He looks so much better now."

Kagari Shirube / Princess Zeal from Princession Orchestra
"I'm not really good with words, but one thing I really like about her design is that the buns on the side of her head are styled in a way that makes them look like rose buds and I think that's really good"
