sorry if this is a weird/confusing question, but if Colorquest was real or at the very least just mimes, would they still look cartoonish irl? like next to a realistic person theyre super rounded. like something out of roger rabbits. or would they be somewhat realistic too
This isn't confusing at all. Honestly, it's something I feel like I struggle to convey to people quite often, so the fact that you ask really excites me... er, as long as I'm interpreting the question correctly, of course. Which, it feels like I am.
Yes, the mimes would feel very artificial. They are like what you would expect a 3D stick figure to look like in real life-- with the added (typically) cylinder/tube-like torso, of course. Smooth surfaces with no imperfections, no pores or divets. Round, cartoonishly proportionate living mannequins, with the surface area of their bodies scattering light in such a way that it's hard to get a read on their depth as if they are cell-shaded; They are almost walking cartoons, but with respect to three dimensional laws. Less decided upon, I often consider they'd have a start black outline around their silhouette, like the effect you find in Borderlands games for instance.
So basically yeah they'd look about how they do as they are drawn as they would in real life. The living would look like actual organic people like you and me.
#to the living they know they look really really bizarre#which is why when they see the first mimes that host they don't raise nearly as much of an eyebrow as youd expect#because at least they are fleshy and normally proportioned. we can think about how they dress like a clown later guys#it's why i really took to the word puppet for them. used to just call them monster forms#but an old friend suggested puppets some years ago and it really clicked#because they feel like giant puppeteered toys in a way#they're just so ridiculous that they look fake#brambleramble#honestly even some of the mimes get a giggle at each other and their puppets#some of why uppsulka was giggling in the On The Road Again song was because chickenstab looked so ridiculous#she'd already come across chickens before she got a chance to see chickenstab. so it was silly
