bliss redesign based off one I made in my teens

thought process + various other bits and bobs under the cut

I was 15 and annoyed by everything that moved when this character first came out, so in my own head I was very much making a Point with this redesign. Hence, I made very minimal changes. I wanted to work with what was already there and basically just make the existing design more thought-through. Little breakdown ahead (keeping in mind i myself am very much An Amateur who doesn’t know shit and am just ranting about my opinions and i also haven’t seen a single second of the 2016 reboot so i don’t know much about Bliss to begin with)

1. one of my Biggest pet peeves with Bliss is that the powerpuff girls each have bangs that are simple, memorable, and iconic while also being unique from each other and being reminiscent of irl little girls hairstyles. It’s very neat and clever and I like it a lot

and then Bliss has this confusing jumble of shapes that looks like it changes in style halfway across her forehead

i have absolutely no idea what the intent is here. My only guess is maybe it’s meant to look weird on purpose like she was trying to cut it herself or something (I suspect it’s something like that since she seems to have normal looking bangs as a little kid from what I can see) but it doesn’t really come off that way if that’s the case. It just looks like baby’s first PPG OC where you Understand that it’s meant to be hair and that it is made out of shapes but have 0 understanding of hairstyle or character design in general. Heck I might have put this exact hairline on a character in the past at the age of like 8

So in my redesign she’s got 5 even notches across her bangs, not thee most exciting change but it does the job I think. It is pretty reminiscent of Blossom but they look different enough from each other that I wasn’t too worried about it

2. low-hanging fruit time, Bliss’s hair color is horrible on the eyes. I’m bewildered at the decision to do this, especially since there is just so much of it, I struggle to think of how she could exist in any scene without hogging all the viewer’s attention constantly. That said, I understand they wanted her to have an unnatural hair color to really signal that she is a Fresh new Teen character from the late 2010’s, which is. Whatever, that’s fine, so she gets purple hair now. I kept the streak for the same reason, especially since she’s got a lot of hair, so no harm in a little extra interest in there.

I also learned recently that her hair glows sometimes? which i did Not know when first drawing her but well i think the darker color helps anyway. It adds some contrast for when she’s normal vs when she’s glowing and makes the latter appear more,, idk threatening or powerful or whatever the mood generally is when she’s doing that.

I did re-add that toothpaste blue to her eyelids though. I like to think it’s also the color of her lasers. It’s a cute color, just not as like 70% of this character’s palette

3. real talk I was drawing this from memory and didn’t mean to change the way her hair flares out from her head. realistically I think the original is fine, maybe just a little boring but fine, so that part of the redesign was an accident. Only thing is, it’s in the exact same position in every screenshot I’ve seen? It doesn’t seem to whip around when she’s flying or anything which looks weird and probably looks weirder in motion, especially since it takes up so much space onscreen. Idk it’s a strange decision, esp since the original show liked to use the ppg’s hair to emphasize their movement, so I’d just bring more movement into her hair. I mean if nothing else it’d make her look cooler.

very very rough little visual of what I mean

I also ended up making it shorter in my redesign—again, not really intentional, but I think it’s better that it eats up a little less of her silhouette

4. Her headband is largely the same, I didn’t hate the idea of her having an accessory, so I just toned down the colors. I’m not personally a fan of the powder blue and that pink heart is very bright and just doesn’t go with the rest of her (once again the color of her hair is doing it no favors). I also moved the heart over. Not necessarily needed I think, but I feel like it reads quicker as a headband and not a weird crown that way+introduces some asymmetry into her design that I think is nice.

5. my biggest gripe other than her bangs are her hips. I’m not against adding anatomy to this character design to make her read visually as older than the girls, but it’s so awkwardly done and distracting. I feel like it even interferes with her line of action more often than not (which is not helped by her unmoving hair).

Part of the issue is she still has the teeny tiny torso, just… with those square-ish hips slapped on, which makes her legs look all gangly and stretched out. I tried to balance out the proportions more in my redesign, as well as change the hips to a flared skirt. I think it helps differentiate her from the girls and still implies hips underneath, it just also functions as a less clunky transition from her torso to her legs.

Lengthening her torso also allows the stripe to look more like a belt above the skirt, which I think helps to sell her as “similar, but not the same” from the ppg

6. Her leggings(? Idk Im not a fashion person) aren’t a bad idea I think. like a more mature version of the girls’ stockings, but I think the white makes them look really distracting. It would help to make them a darker color I think, but since I wanted to keep them reminiscent of the girls’ socks I kept them white and just shortened them.

7. Not really sure what Bliss is wearing on her feet. I think they’re Mary Janes, but they’re drawn a bit different from the girls’ and I honestly think it’s too babyish a shoe for her to wear. I’m not sure what she’s actually wearing in my redesign either honestly, but the goal was just to make them look like the girls’ Mary Janes while clearly being something different.

8. Uh her signature color is something I’ve contemplated changing a lot but to be real I think it’s fine. I feel it was a very bad idea from a marketing standpoint because people were hype about Bunny and would obviously be mad they didn’t get her once the character actually dropped (and in the long-run she would just end up being overshadowed by the character everyone has already assigned that color to) but I’m personally not bugged by her being purple beyond that. If I were to draw them together though I think Bunny would have a more pinky shade of purple and Bliss leans more blue.

Loosely on the same topic, because of Bliss I’ve had a running headcanon that “only child” types of powerpuffs tend to come out purple. Kind of like how trios tend to have a red, blue, and green. It’s a fun little piece of fake lore to rotate around in my brain

Anyway with all that out of the way, here’s some redesigns I decided to have some fun with. Wasn’t being too precious about recognizability or simplicity or anything like that, but I did run out of steam partway through. There’s also one based off Whoopass Bell bc idk, why not

Finally, here’s some OCs I only ever drew once before out of a desire to give Bliss her own teen girl archetypes to form a team with. This is Bee and Beetle, who I’ll probably definitely forget about again immediately after posting this

Feel free to draw this if you like, or answer it lol. Wonder what happens if ur AU Bubbles and Butch, meet a younger sister supposedly from another dimension. Considering the ship Butchubbles is a thing would it feel strange to them? (Ref will be provided on Discord) (My OC Binni is the equivalent of I guess a half sibling to the PPG and RRB. Though the RRB found her first) (Funny enough she's made out of Sugar, Snails and Junk Mail + Modified Chemical X so she would have similar traits towards those 2)

I’m pretty sure they’d be both curious and maybe it’d feel a little strange to them, especially considering there’s an alt dimension with them sharing what would be a half sister equivalent

But despite that- SUGAR AND SNAIL DUO (since Berry and Binni are basically made of the same starter ingredients I thought it would be silly to draw them together)

THE WHOOPASS GIRLS!!

Blakely, Birdie, and Bambi watch over their City Megaville.

Blakely

-she’s the leader! She’s an absolute crash out, the toughest out of the three sisters and tends to get into fights… and lose her temper the quickest. Although she is extremely loyal and wishes nothing but the best for both her sisters and their father The Doc. She’s very quick to get into fights and often yells at her sister Bambi due to the blue girls fearfulness, and is usually calm down by either the Doc or Birdie

Birdie

-she’s the glue that holds both her sisters together. She’s a smarty-pants and loves to read books… and as a total nerd for everything cute, she could probably tell you the entire history of the Kawaii subculture if you let her! She tends to be the voice of reason, especially towards Blakely. She’s a goody, two shoes and often is the one to be a bit of a prude…

Bambi

-she’s a crybaby, and is very fearful of the world around her. She has to be coaxed into fighting. She tends to be a foil to Blakely in the sense that they argue a lot…. It’s less like back-and-forth and more like Bambi is crying and Blakely is yelling at her, trying to get her to tough up and fight. This is where Birdie comes in as the voice of reason. The Doc is very patient with Bambi…. And just like birdie tries to calm Blakely down when she gets irritated with her sister fearfulness

the powerpunk girls!

[marshmall0w-d3ath]

Art of my two unnamed powerpuff ocs :D the only difference between the images is the words and scribbles are more transparent in the first one, I thought it looked less cluttered but I also like the one that isn’t transparent so idk have both!!

I also don’t rly have any info on them, other than the angel one being a guardian angel who falls in love with Earth and doesn’t want to go back to heaven so she becomes fallen. Also her assigned human cut her hair and gave her the clothes she’s wearing xp

The other one I’m not rly sure, I kinda just drew him at some point and I thought he looked so cool, I do wanna do something with him I just don’t know what lolz

Have these too (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ k baiiiii
