>>33501879>It looks out of place. It looks cheap. It looks slapped on just for the sake of having something slapped on instead of having a reason to be there. It's exactly what gaudy means.It's jeans and a simple belt. It is not extravagant, it is not flashy, the colours are even muted. No, gaudy does not really apply. They supplement the guns to convey a simple gunslinger look. That's their intention.
>But they're not cool or interesting. They're just clusterfucks. Having extra shit slapped on for no reason does not equate to cool or interesting. Having unique concepts elegantly tied into the design is interesting.But I think many of them do look cool. So I'm right, right? I mean, I said they're cool. So they are. That appears to be how things are working here. If we're specifically talking about Gargomon, I like it because the guns are cool, but the other elements look strange and a bit funny. Gargomon I would say is an amusing design.
>So they're supposed to look like shit? Wow, ok. Everything looking like shit doesn't justify everything looking like shit.Hmm, nope, I said they're supposed to be detailed and they're supposed to have accessories and other bizarre elements. When I think about how I would design a monster, I don't think of how I can make it look elegant or simple.
>Expanding on its tank theme further by adding cannons makes sense.What tank theme existed before to have expanded by the cannons? It doesn't even stand on four legs, and never did at any point in its evolutionary line.
Have you considered not approaching an artistic discussion as if you're an investor? I don't care about what has more mass market appeal and what directions make for good business moves. Considering this seems to be the smartest and best way to design monsters to you, I sure hope you've never disparaged a new Pokemon design for "chasing the yokai watch audience".
