Nothing like a broken heart to bleed ink

i feel like before the accident their dynamic was almost the complete opposite of what it became. tucker was more of the leader and danny was more of the follower. tucker is very confident and danny has a tendency to go along with what his friends want him to do so it was just kind of a natural thing they fell into. not in like a power imbalance way but just the way that a more introverted friend follows their more extroverted friend around. there was a certain rhythm to their life before. tucker was smarter and more outgoing and new all the cool movies or games coming out so he was in control of most of the hang outs.

It's old-fashioned. It's modern. It's butch. It's femme. It's snazzy. It's practical.

Wikipedia talks about the bloomers and the leg-o-mutton sleeves, but I'm also noticing a lot of these outfits have absolute supervillain lapels, which I also like a lot.

You are absolutely right that his new design sucks ass, and now I’m going to tell you why his design sucks ass.

This post is ignoring the fact that adult yugo has an entirely different face structure and looks like a different character. We’re focusing on his wimp cloak here.

So in the first three seasons Yugo has a clear triangle motif. This goes back to the basics of character design: keep it simple! Give them a clear silhouette! So the Qilby flashback/future description of yugo works here because it continues with the triangle motif. And honestly he definitely seems like a guy who’d rock the poncho look

Another thing is this design allows you to see what he’s doing!! Ignoring my bad sketch but even though he’s wearing a big coat you can still tell what kind of pose he’s doing! Despite the loads of fabric there are enough breaks that the eye can quickly read the details. He moves! He’s free!

Which is the reason why this is so disappointing.

I can’t tell what his shape is supposed to be. A square? A triangle? An amorphous blob eating people in the Arctic?

The dark bodysuit/cape combo is making his poses hard to read. There’s no negative/positive space contrast to lead the eyes. Heck even without the cape it’s hard to tell what’s going on.

Here I made this screencap greyscale. Blurr your eyes. Can you really tell what’s going on here? Maybe vaguely but in an animated medium vagueness is murder. His new design makes it difficult to clearly see the gestures. The bodysuit and cape are also similar values, so unless you’re really focusing it’s hard to separate. In this design you can’t tell what he’s doing.

And then there’s the form follows function debate and idk what kind of function this thing is even trying to serve. If he’s teleporting or fighting that thing is gonna get in the way. His OG poncho is fire because it’s good protection against air resistance and the elements. There’s no cape to obstruct anything. It reinforces his silhouette. And everything in the earlier seasons has this cool handmade feel. This cloak/bodysuit monstrosity? What’s it made of. How was it made. What’s the use of this thing. Man idk. Maybe it’s for fanservce but I don’t think that’s it because it’s hideous.
