Okay, so I've finally started refining the character designs for my OUATIS animation, so here are the current options for Rose's revamps + a comparison between Rose and a basic Rose Red
These are all very quick and messy in order to get the ideas out but here is the basic thought process behind all of them:
Design 1: Based loosely around British military uniforms in the 1800's
Design 2: Basically just the official design for her but with a more muted colour pallet
Design 3: The original design I came up with, but I fully forgot to add the scarf thing
Wedding dress A: I wanted a more medieval style dress option since I find them gorgeous, and it's more simple to animate other than the sleeves
Wedding dress B: I adore regency era fashion, and the original Snow White and Rose Red myth was written around 1815 I think, so it's a nod to that
Wedding dress C: I honestly just thought there should be a more modern design that is closer to the official art
Rose vs Rose Red: I wanted Rose to have a much more human and flawed look to her, so while yes, they are technically identical, Rose Reds just lack the messy humanness of the original Rose, which is why their hair would be much more put together and they wouldn't have something like her scar (at least at first, they can of course get scars, but they are not created with her battle scars).
Anyways, please tell me which designs y'all prefer, because honestly I love them all for different reasons and I'd love to have other input on this project!
Also it was mentioned by y'all in my last post about this that some of you would want to be tagged in future posts about this so I'm starting a taglist
Taglist: @cinderswife @miralines

Today? I bring you more blinkies. Tomorrow? Who knows :)
[image id: five blinkies based on the Mechanisms' albums. Each of them has the album's respective logo at both ends of the blinkie, and the album name across the center. The first is Once Upon A Time (In Space), which has a red background with white stars blinking in the background. The second is Ulysses Dies at Dawn, and has a blue background that fades into a yellow sunrise. The third is High Noon Over Camelot, which has a orange background, and three bullet holes punching into it. The forth is Tales To Be Told, and has a grey background, with the Mechanisms logo bouncing up and down. The final blinkie is The Bifrost Incident, and has a black background with a rainbow flashing across the text. End id]

tfw you’re breaking out a science experiment with a broken snooze button and you keep sassing one another between the senseless violence

Okay, wait. These photos have been in my camera roll for ages and I have no idea where I got them from, probably somewhere on the mechs lore archives blog, bit I've just noticed this and. Why the fuck have they spelled pirate like that???? HELLO?



Like. It's just one different letter, but it looks sooo wrong. Is this a regular thing that I just don't know about???? Why is it like that???!

I'm going to animate the entirety of Once Upon A Time (In Space) soon, and I just finished the first set of designs for the characters.
In Order: Rose Red, Snow White, Cinders, King Cole, Hansel & Gretel, The Three Little Pigs + Bonus Red Riding hood
(these are still relatively rough designs, obviously without colour or anything, but it's my first time using such a simplistic style so this is what I've come up with based on how I imagined the characters)
