Butch Hartman and Character Design

Фильм және анимация

*PLEASE READ!!*
I've seen quite a few comments about the color wheel I used not being a 'real color wheel' or some such, and I wanted to comment on it here, as I should have within the video.
I'm using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key/black) color wheel in the video, as there is a lot of evidence to point towards it being a much more useful and 'true' color wheel for artists, over the traditional RGB (red, green, blue) color wheel. It's also the color wheel Valve uses in their write-up I've linked, as well as the color wheel used in Clip Studio Paint (what I use), Photoshop, and Procreate, among, I'm sure, many other programs. CMYK is, in my opinion (and many others'), a far more useful and aesthetically pleasing color wheel than RGB.
Here's some further reading, if you're interested:

johnmuirlaws.com/color-theory/
• Colour Theory: The Tru... (a good, short video about it)
Also sidenote, because I've seen it mentioned as well, I did not design the character that I'm painting LOL, he is a character from Danny Phantom - specifically Clockwork -- and I was doing the piece for a friend. :) When I first made this video I was not expecting it to blow up the way it has -- I assumed it would stay mostly within the Danny Phantom fandom, and thus didn't feel a need to specify the details! Yes, his design is quite clunky! No, it is not my fault!
Thanks, yall :)

Join me as I travel down the small rabbit-hole of why Butch Hartman is a bad character designer, and maybe we will learn something together
Thanks to Stove for letting me feature their fantastic Flynn redesign!
Clockwork painting timelapse in the background is mine, because I....... I just...... didn't know what else to put in those shots lol
Also sorry for the wonky editing in some bits, I literally had never touched a video editing program before this

    Chad Stephen Silver: Appealing, iconic character designs. Encourages artists of all ages and levels to create. Humble yet extremely skilled. Built his career on hard work and genuine skill. Speaks compassionately about mental health and lifestyle. Wonderful teacher. Virgin Butch Hartman: Ugly, wonky art. Coasts off of his undeserved reputation and little else. Traces anime promo art for commissions. Ego larger than the diameter of the planet Jupiter. Speaks condescendingly to anyone he thinks is 'beneath' him. Born-again Christian who puts himself on a pedestal for his faith. Joked about a former colleague's suicide.

    Honestly I don't know an artist who has enormous ego and is good at the same time. I mean, some of artist have well built healthy egos and believe in themselves and some are less confident, but artists with potenti are naturally critical of their work, which makes them improve. At least I think so, from my observations, and counting myself in (even tho I often overcritisize and tear my art down). With big ass ego you don't see a reason to improve, and that's exactly why Butch doesn't improve. At least I think.

    The spider lady design is so, so unintentionally funny i canot take it. She has a literal freaking spider on her chest, on her head, on her staff and as if it's not enough she has a spider web cape. She could have just had the cape, or just have 8 eyes, why is she so literal. Also as if the painfully on the nose spider theme is not enough, she is colored with red, purple, green and black. All the ''villain'' colors. Not one, not two, but ALL OF THEM. I can't handle this design. I can't.

    Also the amateur kinda coloring kinda gives off the same vibe to the 90's comics. because back then digital art was so new that the coloring (or anything in it really) wasn't fully utilized to the fullest extent. so alot of people just put in flat colors, add in black for shading, white highlights and maybe use gradients and the airbrush tool and call it a day. And this went on til the early to mid 2000's when people had a better grasp of digital coloring.

    to anyone confused about why she called the lips "minstrel," since it wasn't a main point and she moved past it quickly: it's not that they're full, it's that there's no separation between them. one of the core features of minstrel caricatures are the lips being connected into one big blob - it ends up making the lips look more like an animal's than a human's. i'm gonna safely assume this was NOT what butch meant his art to look like, i seriously doubt he had any ill intentions with this, but it's still something to point out as poor character design

Also with this have also given her pastel pink lipstick as well, is that racist or am I good on that? I really don’t want to offend anyone and I’m scared it will be taken the wrong way, am I okay on that part or do you think I should change it?

I'm currently studying game design and have been told by professors that you don't need to be a master artist to be a concept artist. You really only need to be able to get your concept across.

So start a comic! You don't have to publish it right away, but if you do, you can always go back and redo pages.

This is what happens when you’re so hell bent on having a style that you never let it change once you’ve made something work in a specific way and don’t accept crit or suggestions from any other artists. (Judging by the contents of this video, it’s thanks to Stephen Silver that the designs in Danny Phantom were cohesive at all)

As far as value goes, do some gray scale studies and that should help you understand contrast.

    I always disliked the 10 year art of Danny phantom cuz I feel that the white parts of the suit overpowered the black parts. The neck is just the worst part of it. It looks like a piano notes. I like the old design. It's simple and distinguishing. Too much details can ruin something.

    And the belt buckle thing is... weird. It just draws attention to his crotch. Butch, what is with you and crotches?

    Idk calvin, for me his art style looks like he's trying to make an odd version of anime art style combining Stephen Silver's art style with an rookie bad pallet colors

    Everytime Butch's art comes to screen i always have to pause the video and look away, The color scheme and everything just hurts my eyes.
