My Bliss Redesign

[lune-redd]

My take on Bliss, she's basically a Miles Morales equivalent of the PPGs instead of being diet Proto Man.

She is from a different dimension than the original Powerpuff Girls and is also not related to them

I redesigned Bliss from the PPG reboot since ppl were talking about her design.

She had potential, but they fumbled the bag. I gave her curlier hair because she's black and it also made her hair different from the other girls. I tried straight hair, but it wasn't doing it for me

I made her main colour yellow because of her name, and Bunny's already purple. Plus, it looks nicer with the other girls.

I tried her og palette. It made me realize how grey her skin looks against the other colours. It also looks washed out.

So yeah that's it basically. Hope you enjoy

Someone liked my Bliss art and I forgot it was a redesign and not the canon Bliss...

[bryn-art-bin]

been rotting in my drawing folder for over three months. finally finished it now.

another one of the very few bliss doodles i committed to, the only basis being me wanting to do a redraw of when i drew her all the way back in 2018.

sporde's disguise (logan) straight up looks like a total drama island reject. you can't convince me otherwise.

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

Bliss's OG design was really bothering me so I decided to try and do a redesign on her…

As you can see, I got rid of the ugly blue hair and gave her locs (complete with those metal things some locs have), freckles and I made her slightly chubby.. Also, I slightly tweak the purple and gave her knee socks. Sorry if this looks bad, I'm terrible at drawing dreadlocs and I'm still trying to practice but regardless, I hope you guys like her redesign and no, I'm not trying to throw shade on the og designer for Bliss.. I'm just giving my personal thoughts and opinions on how I would've design her because trust me, Bliss could've been a cool fourth member of the PPGs (as well as the concept of her being their secret big sister) but the way her design was executed as well as the idea wasn't great.

And it doesn't help that she came from a horrible, unfaithful reboot (with a really cool intro lol). It's like Bubbles' design in the reboot.. I love her design but the way she's portrayed in the reboot and the show itself is disappointing.

Bunny And Bliss (Reset AU)

Flat Colored:

This has been made for a while but I haven't gotten around finishing it until now. These are designs for Bunny and Bliss for my Reset AU. (Will provide the link below about it)

What is Reset AU? It is a PPG AU that takes place around the 2010's having the classic girls from 1998- 2005 and the reboot girls from 2016-2018 be fused together. Being in a world of perfect mix and balance of both world. (With writing being good and not shit of course lol)

It took a while to come up with Bliss's design but I liked how it turned out so far, I want her to have like a reddish brownish hair to compliment with her silver color which was inspired by the OG "perfect girl" in the "Whoopass Girls" pilot. And no NOT Bell by Bleedman.

Which funny enough she was going to have silvery white hair as well but decide against it after many others say that the reddish brown hair looks better. I tried to reflect the hair style on the "original Bliss" as well as making her hair kinda like a mix of the girls each since that is what she is supposed to be.

She has back hair as well as a small heart shaped bun tied up. (Not a cowlick mind you)

Bunny does exist in my other AUs but I wanted to do something that reflects more on her canon design this time, as well as seeing a lot more recently people drawing Bunny being stablized whilest retaining her OG form and I kinda like that .3. Though that does not change the other Bunny designs from other AUs.

Honestly I liked how it turned out so far and hope you guys enjoy this ^^

Also, I have some difficulties drawing Bliss' bangs. It took me a bunch of attempts.

We Can ALL Be Powerpuffs

Wanted to do something sweet after all that nonsense, what better way then doing something akin to a PPG ending card?

Honestly doing this was so refreshing. It also made me realize I need to draw Belle the Powerpuff Cat more!

I love this bootleg Powerpuff Girls merch based in that one episode where they're teenagers. Just look at it.

First if all. Buttercup honestly looks pretty cute. They added Bliss which is fun! Blossom looks a bit smug but that's fine! But...

...then...

...there's...

Bubbles.

She has seen things.
