@Personian829 They feel like different characters is the thing; if you revamp a cat as a better-drawn dog some ppl are gonna prefer the old design bc they feel like cat fit better. New demon’s great, but things that were compelling abt the old design simply aren’t present in the new one
@ralvar_3 personally ive found it very freeing to embrace the idea that i can unironically enjoy "bad" or "cringy" stuff. Now I can listen w/ interest to critiques and go "oh that's really true, what a good point! I loved it tho lmao" instead of feeling insecure
(I also loved Braid)
@jadel4w@pixojoy Here’s a source for that image! Had to get a friends help to find the creator, this one’s floating around everywhere. It’s such a useful visualisation!

@inkyMary But its a LOT for sure, especially with DCTL -- Buddy's narration and the fact that it's a thing he's literally writing is such a significant part of the novel that I immediately wondered how they'd handle those elements when the graphic novel was announced.
Main thought about the DCTL graphic novel preview is: yeah, I've made designs like that when I was being paid by the page and expected to just throw in extra design work for free and I have a deadline and no time to scour the source material or really put my heart into the design
@inkyMary Adaption isn't 100% on the artist; a lot of that is gonna be on the writer. Someone needs to know the material Really Well and based on what we've seen I don't think the artist does; I think they're depending on the writer to Adapt it and they are drawing that script
anyway, genuinely cannot wait to see how off sammy is gonna be in this lmao. will he be a mid non-design like norman or will he be conventionally handsome or will he get graphic novel dave miller vibes b/c hes an antagonist? will we get the fabled black hair sammy??? i cant wait
one more note: begging batim fans 2 think abt the plot of DCTL and realise why "maybe we will not make the creepy guy who dies at the end a black man in this" is perhaps a reasonable choice. like im a fan of poc norman headcanons too but pls recognise this would be a tough call!!
