>>149146576>cool alien designIt seriously bugs me how "juicy" and springy and worm-feeling the alien buddy is, actually. Pixar has been doing this shit for decades now. They pushed the envelope on naturalism, but people are bored with it. They try this Steven Universe semi-flat style FINALLY, but their approach is STILL too naturalistic. It's like they can only conceptualize design at the most literal and objective level, and can't or won't go beyond into the abstract, the subjective.
I fundamentally hate the way Pixar characters *move* at this point. Spiderverse was sloppa, but it really gave the industry a shot in the arm in terms of showing a different, non-naturalistic approach. Now the risk is that its success will prove too immense and artists will stop innovating there as well.
