What is with all these people getting creeped out by Dog Tier Jade? I think the design is awesome.
I have no idea, just they way she's drawn is just kind of wierd.
It's also the way she's animated, or at least that's what bothers me about her. It just looks kinda low quality.
And when she's doing that thing just before the Tumor does its thing, it looks weird cuz she's not moving anything but her arms and her eyes. When she does the thing with the fenestration, that looks good, but before that... no.
Yeah, same for me. Like I said a couple pages back, it's all the animation quality and facial expression of Metalocalypse with none of the detail, Lexxy-ness notwithstanding. Jade doing-the-god-thing is kinda the climax of the whole flash (it's certainly the least expected visual), so it dominates your attention, and it's a sequence that just demanded more thorough animation.
The design I personally have no complaints about. Didn't see it coming in a million years, but there it is, and it's... Strikingly Jade, really. I am curious about the whole dog-ears thing, but if Jadesprite was any indication, those will be her only set of ears. I'm more wondering if Jade acquired any other extraneous features; with her hair hanging over her face, you can't tell if she has those fur-tuffs, etc.
I bet Future/Bird!Dave is freaked the Hell out right now. And Dave!Dave and Karkat are going to be like
/8O when they see her again.
I've seen a lot of fanart at this point, including a lot of great fanart. I'd really like to know who Hussie got to draw those portraits because...
...that is far and away the single prettiest conception of Rose yet made. All of them are stunning of course, I wish they'd had reason to make some of John and Original Jade for completeness. Maybe they can be talked into it.
