    Basically what the title says. I’m ripping his idea off. I will try not to be biased, and I will get myself canceled somehow, but I’ll try my best

    Post your maple character below and I'll rate the characters' look from 1-10 and roast or praise them accordingly. (5 is average, not 7) The more characters you post at once, the quicker I’ll judge without much thought.

    Colors need a bit of tweaking but besides that.
    This is my second maple design but the other one needs a bit of an update.[​IMG]

    7/10
    Can tell she's strong. That armor makes her look like a knight, but that eyepatch and scar feels super mercenary. Think Ghislaine from Mushoku Tensei, except wearing armor.

    4/10
    Too yellow for his good. Honestly, simplify the face, adjust the pants a bit, and it's just fine. Those yellow tears make him look like he's crying yellow onto his jacket.

    9/10
    Looks like that old lady who cheerfully tells me her life story while I'm just trying to rush through the dialogue to finish a sidequest. Considering that's what she pretty much is, I'd say the design works out great~


    4/10
    I swear you grabbed that saturation slider and tossed it up.
    Color tweaking aside, I get what you're going for with the colors. I like what you're going for. Yellow and pink is that combination where it sounds like it shouldn't go together, but it does and gives off this whole positive vibe. The clothes are pretty simple. There's something about the way it's shaded that's throwing me off. Not too much the shirt, but the hat and pants. Could probably @ the sprite team about that in Discord since I also suck at spriting.

    Here's my main oc, Maikeru Zoni/Devil. The first one is what he normally looks like and the 2nd is when he's possessed by his Persona, Goliath

    Character 1:
    5/10
    Pretty basic. The unique spriting style makes her stand out more, so I'll give it that.

    Character 2:
    8.5/10
    Super different hair and clothes that I feel go well together. I like it. The face mask really stands out for me.

    Character 1:
    8/10
    Can't see the full-body, but I remember seeing her clothes, and then I felt pain wondering how one would rig it, let alone, sprite it. She's a waifu swordsman cyborg alright. The light blue/black color scheme makes her unique to me.

    Character 2:
    5/10
    That serial killer sure looks dangerous with those school clothes. Probably doesn't help that I've seen >2 OCs with those same clothes. The face is the highlight though.

    Character 1:
    4/10
    Red Bootleg Joker, but you knew that already. The metro hair+alert eyes combo was overused so often at one point (I did it too), that it makes characters look samey.

    Character 2:
    2/10
    Red Bootleg Joker turned into Red Bootleg Sephiroth...with 2 wings...and an edgy-looking smile. Lay off the blood and maybe change eyes. At least it fits the Halloween theme.

    Character 1:
    5/10? Can't see full body
    The hair and face are pretty cute. Look like she'd fit perfectly in an MMV. That's about it. Reminds me of @Pepsi101Loser for some reason.

    Character 2:
    9/10
    Was super impressed when I first saw this. Looked original,

    8/10
    Looks like that kid who'd follow me around with annoying filler dialogue when I'm just trying to explore an area.

    Character 1/Primo:
    8/10
    Just in time for the winter season. The edit on the visor is charming. He'd fit as a racecar driver tbh.

    Character 2/Secondo:
    7/10
    That jacket looks like something a high school athlete bully would wear, except now with sandals. That small detail on the circle of the hat being crossed is pretty cool.

    9/10
    Toned muscles, straightforward and clean design, can quickly recognize how strong he is from a glance. He looks great! So when was the last time you animated him?

    6/10
    He looks like a JRPG companion who's got an affinity for ice magic but is equipped with a scythe for some reason. Pretty straightforward, the clothes go together for me.

    5.5/10
    Eyes aside, the green highlights make him more memorable, and it's nothing too flashy. You can tell this was made in 2010 or so.

    Character 1/Leala:
    6/10
    Those pants are throwing me off. I mean, I get why it's there, but it's still throwing me off with that shirt and cute face. It does give off little sister vibes for me.

    Character 2/Omit
    3/10
    Looks like a typical run-on-the-mill half-demon edgy arrogant-looking teenage anime dream guy. Good for you if you were going for that...I swear I saw clones of him before.
