look at this and just try and tell me that all three of these women don’t look exactly the same. try and tell me that Disney isn’t lazy when it comes to creating women.
Wow, IT’S ALMOST LIKE THEY’RE ALL RELATED.
It is a little-known fact that all related women are palette-swapped clones of each other. Science is amazing
I’d say that I think they just color-swapped Elsa’s model for their mom, but I REALLY REALLY don’t want to think Disney would be that lazy.
Seriously, guys. They are not palette-swaps. Yes, they look fucking similar, cause guess what. THEY’RE FUCKING RELATED. OH SHIT, WAIT PEOPLE WHO ARE RELATED LOOK THE SAME? WHO EVER KNEW! So yes, they are going to have similarities, but as you can see here, with this diagram my boyfriend and I put together, they have different features. So just shut up and enjoy the movie. Seriously, people never used to bitch this much.
The fact that you had to go this far to find the tiniest minute details in a 3-D model just to prove a point is really something. I have to come out and say, they just look like varying degrees of eye openness and tiny tweaks in the same model. Their genetic makeup is copy and paste. I will not shut up and enjoy whatever is thrown at me. I need to have an opinion. I would rather sit and critique the hell out of something until I’m blue in the face, especially if I want to learn from it. It doesn’t mean I don’t like whatever I’m critiquing but seeing the flaws in anything helps me grow as artist.
I had a well thought out reply in agreement to peanutbutterjotunheim about character design and that it’s okay to critique something you like, but have some examples of Disney/PIXAR characters that are related and aren’t near exact clones of each other, instead:
And here’s a little exercise with the Frozen ladies I did to show something that’s usually considered more important than minute details when it comes to character design, the silhouette.
In case people don’t know, there are such things as dominant and recessive genes
Then that is a really recessive gene pool if their daughters have white-blond and red hair. Not to mention that their mother must have more dominant genes than their father despite the fact that many of her features, apart from her dark hair, are recessive.
Face it, Disney’s priority with this movie was not character design. Even in the art of Frozen, there are not a lot of pages dedicated to character pipeline or development; most of the book consists of world building. These designs are highly derivative of previous ones *coughTangledcough* and are in that regard, passable. Plus, this movie had to come together very quickly, so they had to cut corners somewhere and this was it. Honestly, as if the Disney artists were actually concerned about genetics when designing these characters.
And yeah, here’s some art to show that their mother was not always meant to look like a slightly tweaked model of Elsa:

Urggh *gurgle* This was a complete bitch from beginning to end….seriously worth it though. Damn.
So yeah: “Hey, Natty? Whats your fetish?”
–Half demonic futanari psychiatric nurses with big bottles of tasty Benzodiazepines. <3 <3 <3!!! No, Im serious. Stop laughing. ….Sadly, regardless of how many times I go into psychiatric inpatient I NEVER ONCE see this gal. Hell, gals who are even vaguely attractive and female shaped are considered a god-send, so this chick would be like the gold at the end of a teleporting double rainbow that hates me. Thanks hentai, thanks for giving me such unrealistic desires. (If you see the pun in her name - please dont beat me up for my lunch money, Im poor.)
Just a selfie doodle for my HF profile and whatnot (also, easy way to kill time and pretend to be productive.)
*Sigh* Well, thats 4 days of continuous work that Ill never get back. Not too happy with this one. I dont hate it, but for something that took around 45-55 hours of constant re-drawing, erasing, drawing again, and so on….it just doesnt measure up. Sometimes ambition likes to lure you out into a dark alley and sodomize you against a dumpster. It sounds sexier than it is. Oh well, theres always a next time.
I know, I know. This pin-up is so soft it doesnt even really belong here. But, I dunno. Sometimes a soft pin-up is just what one needs. I mean, think of all those old-school pin-ups that our grandaddies loved, airbrushed girly girls talking on the phone or buying celery with a little panty shot. Cute times! Dont worry, Ill bring back all the dicks soon <3
FUCK. YES.
This took so fucking long, but Im very pleased with it (for now.)
So, this is Verbena, Shes a Tribal-Voodoo-Shaman-Witch-Doctor-Priestess type lady. I dont know if she will become a regular staple like Minty, or if shes just a once-off, but sometimes, you get an idea, you follow it.
