So, I only watched the reboot on other people's streams or as YouTubers and reviewers reacted, but I only lasted through a couple of episodes. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the new one yet; I couldn't find it, BUT I've had ideas for character redesigns for a long time, ever since I saw what they did with my girls (and others) last year ๐ฅฒ
A little about the details, both major and minor, plus a couple of headcanons.
I changed almost nothing about her except her clothes and hair.
The clothes because I think that mesh top, that vest, well...they don't look very good. It seems to me, considering her parents' (human) jobs and how she was raised, she wears something simpler (especially since the reboot takes place closer to our time).
And the tinted ends of her hair (I think this could be played up as a Domino family trait) that look like burning flames were taken from the first "test" trailer for the reboot. I really liked that idea.
I worked harder on him and completely redesigned him. Because... I'm not the only one who feels that they don't even look much alike as brother and sister (even though they have different character models with different styles), and the show claims they're twins.
First of all, the face. I gave him the same tinted ends and shortened his hair, making it more casual due to his job as an animal caretaker. I also tried to make the eyes and face more intimate, so that he and Bloom at least looked like family.
The clothes had to be completely changed. Considering that Damian looks after animals, I gave him a farmer's outfit and a chest plate. I'm sure everyone will agree that what he wears in the show looks more like the armor of a D&D adventurer, which is a bit out of place, since Damian isn't a warrior or a specialist, but a teenager who looks after animals.
A couple of headcanons for Damian:
ย The chest plate was added because, while working with various magical animals, not all of them are friendly, so he would wear it for safety.
By the way, he has a couple of scars on his arms from such unpleasant encounters with stubborn beasts: a bite on his left hand and a burn on his right.
His clothes are always dirty because of work.
